In his top 3 saves for us with Forest away. And Leeds at VP.

The Forest away one was one of the best saves I've ever seen by any goalkeeper, ever, let alone Emi this season.

It doesn’t get talked about enough. It was awarded save of the season deservedly so. But the fact that we lost that game at the very end means it doesn’t go down as a save that led to a win. It’s forgotten a little. But it’s proper Gordon Banks stuff.

That’s save is just incredible. He’s still the best keeper in the world.

He'd have saved the equaliser but he slipped just before.

Yep, mentioned it on the match thread. Attacker would have shit himself if not for the slip

Crucial save but nowhere his best for us. I reckon what makes him special wasn't that faily straight forward save, it's the doubt he puts into the striker that means it's a fairly poor attempt.
