[Albion] Emiliano Martinez

[zefarelly]

He had a good game, but not MoM, a few great saves, most std stuff.

given the footbal world generally jizz ther pants as soon as sock boy is mentioned, Veltman gets MoM for making hm look very ordinary

 

[Farehamseagull]

That summer rumour about us signing him makes a lot more sense these days doesn’t it!

 

[albionalex]

I thought all of the saves were pretty regulation.

 

[maresfield seagull]

Adam Bogdan for Bolton still sticks in my mind.

Indeed As does Marshall for Baadiff

 

[Wellesley]

Also not at the Amex, but Stockdale for Norwich was phenomenal. Scored two as well.

 

[maresfield seagull]

Because they're trying to stop the team I support from winning. Childish? maybe, but I only support one team

It’s Not a question of support as such More an appreciation of an opponent’s ( sometimes’valiant ) efforts to prevent us winning

Adam Bogdan for Bolton still sticks in my mind.

As does Adam Federici when Reading were on their way to the Championship title in 2012 in mine.

I said it's not childish!

He is an excellent keeper and part of me wishes we got him. But £20mil, when we have Sanchez who looks like he could be or even is as good as Martinez already.... Would never have seen him and it’s saved us £20mil we don’t have. But credit to him, he’s been great all season. But then Villa really have splashed the cash haven’t they... makes tonight’s game all the more sweater as we outplayed them everywhere.

Not me, delighted with Sanchez, wouldn’t swap him for any keeper in the world right now.

Villa completely and utterly robbed Arsenal by signing him. Harshly disposed of as soon as Leno recovered, could turn out to be one of the signings of the season...

I think Arsenal will be quite happy to have got £20m for their backup keeper.

As far as goalkeepers go, it's a very solid fee admittedly. God knows why other teams like Everton or Southampton go for him!

Lots of Arsenal fans don’t agree with that whatsoever and I can see why... Hard one as Leno is decent too though.

Arsenal fans might not but I am sure the club will be very satisfied. Selling a player that, all being well, won't make a league appearance for £20m is great business.

 

[Albion Dan]

He did his job well but think he and Villa would have been disappointed if he’d failed to make any of the saves he did tonight. All the shots were pretty close to him and think he made a few look like saves for the cameras.

 

[maresfield seagull]

AHA childish shoulda been put to bed b4 the watershed

 

[drew]

Let's be honest, probably Maupay's fault we lost tonight. Had he not nudged Leno out of the box and the subsequent injury then Martinez wouldn't have got the chance to shine at the back end of last season and would probably have disappeared abroad. That said, most of those saves were straightforward.

 

[Robinjakarta]

He was not that good

He really was. We'd be purring our heads off if that had been Sanchez.

 

[Robinjakarta]

I remember Marshall for Cardiff, always in my mind the best ever. Martinez came close tonight.

I still remember Peter Downsborough when we battered Halifax at the Goldstone one day in the '60s. We lost 0-1.
