Emiliano Martinez

Great performance again and another clean sheet. Guy isn’t afraid to catch the ball or go in for a challenge. Great number 2 and he’s been one of our best players in the last few games.

Has he signed a new contract yet? Sure it was supposed to run out before Leno got injured.

Transfermrkt says 2 years to go. They are usually right.

Very good back up 'keeper. He’s not error prone, that’s the best I could have hoped for. Haven’t had a deputy this good since 1999.

Fair play to @Calum he’s been singing his praises for a while

I don’t know 1999. Would that be Manninger?

Premier League years has paid off it seems :joy:

Yep. Manninger and then Lukic deputising for Seaman.

Lukic could still be the oldest 'keeper to have played in the CL, I think. He was 40

Nope. He went to Leeds and won the league there with them.

He really has had a distinguished career.

His son’s a doctor (random trivia)

Been banging on about him myself an assured shot stopper in the Seaman mould, brings a calmness to the defence.

Lukic was a good keeper , very calming keeper . Graham has his eye on DS . Graham signed DS as according to Graham ‘ he was the best’ . At the time it baffled the squad that Lukic was replaced but after 1 training session it was clear to see why Graham signed Seaman . If you want to watch an iconic clip of Lukic , the 89 film is a classic, John Barnes took a free kick and it was high wide and handsome, big John waved the ball aa it flew over the bar .
Lukic was a good professional, good keeper .

It was kind of a shame Lukic wasn’t with the other lads in the 89 DVD, playing cards and what have ya.

His interviews were separate.

A shame . I always find it sad when a reunion and a special event all the players , cast and whoever can’t get together.
Put your differences behind and savour the moment that us fans dream about

It’ll most likely be the same if and ever the Invincibles get together.

Although, on that occasion, much like 89 and Rocastle, there’ll be players missing.

Reyes :pensive:

Indeed but The Arsenal, didn’t let the David Rocastle down , his family were there .
I dare say the club still keep Rockys family within the Emirates wall .

Hope that makes sense as I can’t see as I’ve lost my glasses

Do Lukic and the rest have differences? Is it not just that they live in London and he doesn’t?

I’m kinda hoping this is true, too.
