    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.

    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 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.

    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
