[Albion] Emiliano Martinez

Shay Given is a decent call, the rest of them are a bit meh. I notice the lack of successful premier League goalkeepers.

Anyway, statistically and factually our beloved Maty is 2nd in the league, at goals conceded outside the box. He's not a bad goalkeeper, he's just not big physically tall enough. Like many small basketball players, they'll always be a minority exception.

A few more to the list.

Pat Jennings 183cm
Bruce Grobbelaar 185cm
Ray Clemence 183cm
Peter Shilton 183cm

For those that don't like Ryan, they'll continue to use his height to beat him with regardless of any stats.

Personally, happy with Ryan as our keeper. Some people expect perfection but look at the top keepers, they all make mistakes. De Gea has made plenty but still gets the plaudits.

As said on the Ryan thread, had Villa scored Solly's goal those that loathe Maty would be giving him pelters for 'letting that one in'.

Correct

He would also be ‘very lucky’ that the save from Maupay didn’t touch his hands as it was dangerous to come outside his box

At the moment he's not that lucky - the ball would definitely have brushed a finger.
