He still parrys (parries?) shots back into potential danger too much imo. I wonder is it because he's keen not to give away corners and the subsequent fighting on the goalline with an opposing player. Sometimes it looks like he's making an elaborate save for the cameras.

But I would prefer he pushed shots to the side and not back in front. Obviously sometimes it can't be helped based on the angle and power of the shot.

Martinez backs himself in most situations, he was close to saving it but that effort was perfect.

Sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and give credit to the attacker, it was a great strike.
It was a great strike, but Emi misjudged it.

Several other great saves, however. Shame.

Terrible misjudgement by Emi, hovering on arrogance. 'You wouldn't dare to shoot from there, I'm Emi Martinez'. 'Oh Fuck'.

In my hairy days, I loved taking free kicks from that distance and angle. It was kin to taking a corner kick with your right foot. Ball follows same trajectory. Not as difficult as it looks.

Emi should know better. Thankfully, most times his judgement is better.

There’s a bloke who Tanswell follows (I think it was him who was talking about it on a podcast) who collates the stats, and says that Emi is the safest “parrier” in the PL.

His starting positioning looked pretty good to me.
Certainly wouldn’t describe it as a terrible misjudgement or a display of arrogance.

If anything I would like to see Emi show more of his confident arrogance that he had post winning the World Cup.

Reminded me of the Carbone goal in the cup all those years ago!

But, but, but the ball went in the net.

His starting position couldn't of been that good.
