It was an amazing save. Reliving it, it got a greater cheer than the goals! 
Why didnāt he save it with his right hand? 
would surely have been easier lol
Disagree mateā¦as a keeper, for me, he went with the correct handā¦Great saveā¦

Iām not a keeper but I assume youāre more in control of the arm at the bottom and better able to judge if youāve got the reach etc? I canāt think of a single stretch save like that where the keeper was using the arm over their head.

Gives me a nice reason to rewatch it, haha.
For meā¦A save to the left was made with my left hand, and save to the right, was with the right hand, easy reallyā¦
All of this āoverarm stuffā meant that your positioning, or foot stepping was wrongā¦Not necessary if you were in the right place to start withā¦
Gordon Banks did not make the GREATEST save of all time with his āwrongā hand for a reasonā¦

Wait, wasnāt that to his right with his right?

Wouldnāt it be required if the ball is heading in a zone where reach is needed rather than control
I am absolutely sure I remember Brady Magic having a right bee in his bonnet about keepers using the wrong arm to make saves. Owing to the kind of bloke he was lol, Iām sure that he was convinced that the worldās goalkeepers and goalkeeping coaches had it completely wrong and should be going with an overarm save, not using their left when diving to the left etc.

Also being a keeper I disagree. A save is a save and I have no doubt Ramsdale could have pulled of the save with his right hand as well. This āwrong handā etc is just pure bs really. Same as I once had a coach that wanted me to catch the ball against my chest one hand over the other and the ball in between.

Could you imagine these twitter nerds being around in the 90ās and early 2000ās when there was still artistry in the sport. They would have killed the game.

De Gea is a keeper that often made great saves with the use of the āwrong handā. Like @Ocke Iām calling bullshit. A save is a save, and sometimes the optimal save calls for the use of the āwrong handā.
Fast forward to 1:14ā¦

Iām not saying itās wrong, I just believe that if your positioning is correct in the first place, then itās not neededā¦However, I agree, a save is a save, however itās madeā¦
Some of the best saves have been with the feet, thatās not wrong either!

I canāt remember the last time I was this wrong on a guy. Iām wrong about shit all the time and occasionally right (Willian, Hazard, Evans). But this wrong? Been a while.
Maybe Xhaka? I thought it was a coup we signed him at the time and heād basically be an Alonso regen.
Ramsdale has, so far, been even better than I thought heād ever be.

Youāre whole stance on Partey stands out to me tbh, from first thinking we couldnāt afford to sign him to the fact he wouldnāt do much for us. So terribly, terribly wrong on both accounts.

Hazard is firmly in the wrong column, donāt try that.
Fair play to Ramsdale though, heās looking like the real deal. Seemingly has everything youād want in a keeper.

Hazard is a premier league great. Your anti-Hazard agenda is on par with your agenda of thinking signing Partey was bad business because he was 27 lol

I wanted an attacker instead. What can I say? I find that part of the game more interesting.
His last season for us was somewhere between a write-off and disappointing. The way he was initially talked about, he would have been able to hold an entire midfield, but thatās not who he is.
It was never anything against the player, I just wanted a new attacker instead.
Hopefully Arteta has found a way to maximize his strengths. Despite what you may think, I do actually want the club to succeed.
