Was the Arsenal fanbase too hard on Emi Martinez? - World Cup Hero

[BigPoppaPump]

I'd still take Ramsdale over him, English would've actually beat France if Aaron was playing.

We didn't have time to be hard on him lol guy spent 6 months with us as starter and left.

He made the right choice he play for Villa but he world cup winner now. Expect him to transfer to better club in 1-2 seasons

He did what was right for his career and you just have to say fair play.

I wonder though, would people say he backed himself playing elsewhere and not being willing to take bench?

or

Did he not back himself because he ran off due to competition with Leno?

Personally I'd say not sitting through the process he backed himself.

 

[Trilly]

I'm crying, what's wrong with him???

Too much dawg in him. Arteta couldn’t handle such a gargantuan character.

Emi world cups - 1
Arsenal world cups - 0

Stats don’t lie, people do.

He'd been at Arsenal for a decade so I can understand his impatience. Also at that stage I think picking Leno for that Fulham game after all Emi had done in the weeks prior it was just the straw the broke the camels back, if he couldn't get his place after all that. Also his stock was so high at the time, if he spent a season on the bench he would've went down again. He absolutely did the right thing.

His club situation tells the story. Villa number one. It's hardly Real Madrid. He'll have a good and solid career, but some make him sound like Oliver Kahn or Dasayev.

Yet you tag me non-stop over him because I said I disliked him three years ago.

You keep tabs on every single one of my posts hoping to find a contradiction from something I said years ago.

A great cup keeper but that doesn’t translate over the course of a regular season where his strengths of **** housing do not come into play. Very rarely is he facing pens but rather teams are slotting 2-3 goals past him frequently. Even today he gave up 3.

How do you know he might not get a move to a bigger club? No one has called him the best keeper in the world on here.

Clubs be after him now.

Emi should always be an Arsenal hero. But he's not a modern keeper, he's not great with the ball at his feet. He's always going to be a somewhat better shot-stopper than Ramsdale. But he just wasn't the keeper we needed, for the style we'd decided to play. I wish the man well, and the joy of all his accomplishments. But I don't regret him moving on. To me, it's the rare transfer that was good for both sides.

He is not a better shot stopper than Ramsdale. Stoppiing shots is his weakest link. He concedes so many easy goals. But it cannot be denied he has the dog in him and is a great at saving penalties.

Yes, they have. Read the game thread.

He's blatantly getting a move to a team in Europe, plus he was a vital member of a world club winning squad.

I don't think dismissing his career is going to work anymore.

When I see you lying on here:

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Great keeper, dusted personality, crybaby

 

[littleboysilva]

World class performance from a player who will go down in football history regardless of what we think of him personally. Proper Weirdo though definitely tapped but what great keeper isn’t I guess.

 

[Oxeki]

Oh my days!

Not another one of these thread ffs.

Ramsdale went as a cheerleader, Emi became world champion. Absolute ****ing levels.
