Emi Martinez

[Kevin Dawson]

I believe his contract was a 4 year deal (until summer 2024)....

Another clean sheet for Argentina against Brazil and they have also qualified for the World Cup well done Emi.

[Risso]

Brilliant yesterday. Not a whole lot to do, but rock solid when he needed to be. Also, I thought he was back to getting his throws out much more quickly. He seemed releuctant to do that for the last few months under Smith.

[Ad@m]

Yep, the save just before half time was tremendous.

If we're going to stand a chance of finishing above last season's position we need the defence back in the habit of keeping clean sheets at all costs.

[darren woolley]

I'm pleased he got another clean sheet he pulled some great saves off against Brighton.

Our great secret no longer - just came sixth in the goalkeeper of the year category of the Ballon d'Or awards thingy.

Gives the club a bit more exposure as well.  Top 10 in the world, not a bad place to be!

[PaulWinch again]

Underrated.

Should've been top three (says a man who only ever watches Villa). I'm guessing Donnarumma was no. 1?

[Monty]

Donnarumma, Mendy, Oblak, Ederson and someone else were the top 5. Mendy for winning the Champions League and everything, but Messi got the Big Gong for contributing somewhat to a Copa America win in which Emi won (was it?) two penalty shootouts. For me, he should've come second.

There is a really good interview with Emi on the official Villa website, talking about his journey so far.  Really good watch.  What a fantastic keeper.  Love that hamstring!!

[eamonn]

That hamstring ? It's a strange thing to love.

[chrisw1]

It was a sign of game management, taking the sting out of a very difficult few minutes for us.  We've seemed to lack smarts and shithousery for years now and Emi is bringing it in spades.  I love that hamstring too!   

[Lastfootstamper]

Unbelievable save from him today, he had no right to get that. He really is one of the best in the world right now.

[LukeJames]

That's one of the best saves I have seen a Villa keeper make. Up there with Gyzan against QPR infront if the Holte.
