Well done Robin - best way to respond to the boo boys is to shove it back down their throats

Steady on.

He's getting valid credit for having a decent game, not getting the golden glove award...

Though I broadly agree I do notice this use of the word 'decent' sometimes obscures things unfairly. He had a fantastic game.

I wouldn't read too much into it mate...

Not with yourself I'm sure, fair enough. Just worth clarifying that it was a top performance.

Agreed.

I think I was one of the first to comment about it on here, as the praise was warranted after I have previously made quite a few negative comments about his past performances & his value to Villa in my eyes.

That doesn't change overall in my opinion, based on one game, just as my positive view on Douglas Luiz hasn't changed due to his recent poor form.

But it could change with either, depending on the evidence & context over a period of time.

But agreed, he was excellent yesterday.

Thought he played really well yesterday. That save with his leg when thingy was clear through would have been wanked over if it was Martinez.

More of this please, Robin!

Before the penalty on Thursday the commentators said that he'd faced 25 penalties in his career and saved none, so today was the first time he actually stopped one. Must have been awful to see it end up in the net anyway.

He's no Emi but, according to Transfermarkt, he had saved three and conceded 31 prior to Brighton.
