He really is.
He’s not top 3 in the EPL. Not sure he’s top 10 in the world. Goes to show how over-hyped the World Cup is.
The most mid tier keeper going around. Not to mention a proper prat
Bonnou was ranked higher than him in the Balon d’Or rankings but lower in the Yacine trophy lmao these awards mean nothing
Pride of Midlands.
Arsenal in the mud
Statistically speaking (based on the difference between post-shot expected goals and actual goals conceded - i.e. how good a goalkeeper is at stopping shots), Emi Martinez was the 6th best keeper in the league last season and is currently 4th this season. The season before last he was 16th. On another important metric for the modern goalkeeper - distribution, he’s extremely average. He’s 14th in the league for long pass completion this season, was 13th last season and 11th the season before. The one area he truly excels is claiming crosses. He’s currently ranked 3rd for percentage of crosses stopped, was 1st last season and 6th the season before.
He’s shit……he was shit when arsenal fans were calling him the ‘best backup in the league’ he’s shit now and he’ll be shit in the future….there’s a reason he’s at Villa.
The worlds best anything doesn’t play for Villa
Bro won because Yashin trophy vote is based on previous balloon d’or winner, guess who voted 7 times for him
Takes skill to get an og as good as this
Weren’t Villa trying to flog him in the summer?
He ain’t even the best Keeper in his league. Never mind the entire world. Of course it’s a Villa flair posting this biased take lmao.
Not for me
playing well in a seven games tournament does not make you the best player in the world when you have been mediocre at every other tournament
He conceded 8 goals from 12 shots on target at the WC, literally all he did well in was the 2 shootouts and that save
Yeah and he was awarded for his performances with the World Cup golden glove. That doesn’t mean he is automatically the best goalkeeper in the world for the year
Is he in the top 3 in the PL? Not in my opinion.
There is literally a GK ranked 13 above him. He isn’t even the best GK in the PL let alone the world 😂
