Good luck to him, good keeper but to the gooners in our office i will be telling them that Arsenals best player is a Brighton reserve keeper.
It would be a good move for us to get a decent price for him in the summer! Not that he's a bad keeper, but he's surplus to requirements here.
His time is up with us, yes.
And maybe not a great keeper.
But he did well for us.
He deserves more love on NSC than he sometimes p gets

Totally agree - and he was so often the last one off the pitch at the Amex after spending time with the fans.

It was time for him to move on and dare I say upward. Needed a new challenge and can see him keeping the gloves. Well done Matty.
Pleased for him that he did OK today - plus one ironic bit of luck. One dive to his left to push away a ball going across him, almost identical to Sanchez' push out that went straight to the Burnley player who scored - Maty's push went just behind the onrushing attacker.
Small margins!
Small margins!
If he keeps the gloves and does well - great news! Bigger fee in the summer!

Good player cam style video posted by Arsenal of Maty’s debut for them. I expected him to be angrier at the goal but shows how vocal he is, even barking out basic instructions in Portuguese to Gabriel and Cedric. As a keeper in my younger days I found it quiet interesting.

Interesting.
Btw, all the instructions he’s barking to (Portuguese speaking) Gabriel and Cedric, are actually in SPANISH
Maybe thats why they conceded that goal?

Have you learnt nothing from our Aussie posters? All the same foreign lingo, innit?

Most Portuguese people can understand if something is said to them in Spanish (apparently it doesn't work as well the other way).
Ryan didn't have much to do - wasn't at fault for the goal and dealt with everything else competently.

One thing I love about no crowds and swapping the stadium audio is hearing the commanding players and coaches constantly barking orders. These touchline and player cams are awesome.
A lot of American sports have ‘mic’ed up’ features. Gives a great insight into players mentality

Interesting but wouldn't it make more sense for all communication to be in a standard language (probably English) so everyone in the team understands and not just the person the comment is directed to?

Yeah absolutely, but it certainly helps. As a keeper who's played (and playing) at a pretty decent level, i've played with players of different nationalities where i can speak their languages (French, Spanish & Romanian). Its more to help them with concentration, when i played behind those players i obviously spoke English but when we were under pressure i'd switch into their language to help them. They could all speak English to a degree, but when they hear instructions in their native tongue to helps a lot more. It stands out more so they're more likely to listen to you, which as a goalkeeper is pivotal. I was on the flip side to this playing in Portugal, where i could understand the instructions but when they spoke in English it relaxed me and made it a lot easier
