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.
World class would mean he’d start for City, imo. He wouldn’t even start for Fulham.
It’s quite amusing that a few days ago you made a post about how ‘I the misuse of the term world class in today’s football bothers me.’ regarding people calling Harry Kewell world class at Leeds and now you’re posting this after obviously being absolutely rattled when people told you Martinez wasn’t world class.
We can all have opinions but at the end of the day individual awards are quite meaningless - if they meant something then he wasn’t even the highest placing keeper in the Balon D’or and then Bonou would be the best keeper in the world.
Lmao oh shit it’s that guy. That’s really funny. Just goes to show one man’s world class is another man’s meh
Kewell at Leeds > Martinez anywhere
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.
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.
Takes skill to get an og as good as this
Weren’t Villa trying to flog him in the summer?
Arsenal in the mud
Pride of Midlands.
Bro won because Yashin trophy vote is based on previous balloon d’or winner, guess who voted 7 times for him
There is literally a GK ranked 13 above him. He isn’t even the best GK in the PL let alone the world 😂
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.
Not for me
It was a fix. Guy wasn’t even highest ranked keeper in balon dor ffs so how can he be best keeper?
Also if he’s that good how come Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and United were all on the market for a keeper in the summer and none of them wanted him?
Are you the same guy that put6 Aston Villa players in his team of the season last week?
