Emiliano Martinez

It’s so rare man, I’ll give credit where its due he’s been great but I’m still not looking at him as anything but a #2

He’s earned himself a big move.

This save was unreal.

We now have GK coaches that can make Leno and Martinez look good, whereas before we had coaches that made Sczcesny and Fabianski look horrible, and we sold them for absolutely fuck all. this club :rage:

yea that is fantastic.

I posted on here a few seasons ago that I’d never seen martinez let us down in a match and now, at last, he is getting the recognition he deserves.

It’s just a shame that, because of our drop in league status and his great form, other clubs might come in and he might be tempted elsewhere.

I remember the Reading game very well, think he made a few howlers in that game. The famous 7-5 one.

If Allison had made a save like that in the 95th min you know every pundit would have came in their pants.

Yep. That’s an outrageous save.

I missed the last 10 mins due to having to leave for work, that save at the end was brilliant.

Completely agree with the comments above. Martinez looks much improved so Leno could have a fight to get back in the starting line up. Exactly the sort of internal competition we need across the squad.

Looks like Martinez has trained like a Spartan to win his place when the opportunity came up.

That’s true but that was a freaky match with players playing like kids in a park with jumpers for goal posts. :grinning:

I think that game was 9 years ago now wasn’t it??

Mental stuff. Hard to judge him on that game though, especially with that defence.

Think it was October 2012 from memory

Just remembered the Firmino moment in the first half. Could have ended badly for him.

What a save. Not sure Leno would have caught this, considering his length.

Ospina definitely wouldn’t have, Mr no arms :laughing:

Hey man, there’s nothing wrong with Leno’s length, alright?

Now hoping we get into Europe simply so we can hopefully dangle the starting spot for all European football and cup games in front of him, cos surely otherwise there are gonna be plenty of teams willing to make him their number one, and we won’t have enough games to offer him.
