Emi Martinez

[Halfway to Moseley]

Fantastic save today - but completely brainless from the Sunderland player, he had a simple square ball on to a teammate to knock it into an empty net.

Maybe, but as pointed out earlier he's why that players brain turns to mush.

Hang it in the Louvre

The French would love that.

Hang it in the Louvre

Jordan Pickford wouldn't have made that save.

He is such a good GK and Leader - I really dont see the point in moving him on this summer. 

we would probably make a net lost brining in a replacement - I would stick with him until his contract ends.

Likewise with ollie.  Two players who between them probably win us 10 points each a season

[Toronto Villa]

Wills’ old man not messing about.

I know that lots of people don't like laptop boffins and their data, but even so:

Top 10 Premier League goalkeepers

Gradient’s Player Grades measure execution rather than outcome. The grading process begins with Gradient’s team of analysts evaluating over 2,000 events per game – everything a player does during a match from aerial duels to dribbling to set-piece shooting, and everything in between.

Each event is graded on a scale of -2 to +2 in 0.5 increments; 0 representing expected execution, positive or negative grades are awarded for a performance that is better or worse than expected. Those grades are then translated into an easy to understand 0-100 game and season rating across over 50 grading categories, including an overall performance grade.

(10) - (2) - some other bozos who play for other clubs

1) Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa) – 89.9

Martinez probably was the best in the world for a time, and he will probably tell you he still is. Despite some feeling he has slipped from his peak, the World Cup winner has still made the joint-highest number of big time saves; the second-highest number of crosses caught; and the highest passing grade, which is pretty much all you can ask of any keeper: save it, catch it, pass it.

Add safest parrier to his list of statistical triumphs.

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.

He's brilliant at one on ones. Not so much on the one they scored, slipped maybe?
