Samir Handanovic

[Bluenine]

God mode today. He was the only reason we didn't lose again. His recent errors are forgiven.

His recent errors are forgiven.

I wouldn't go that far..

 

[IM21]

congrats on 500 games in Serie A.

Also great performance yesterday. Took those few key saves and didn't let anyone down.

I thought he had a really good game yesterday.

I’ve been a bit of a harsh critic of Handa lately, rightly or wrongly, but last night I thought he put in an excellent performance.

However, when I spoke to my brother this morning he is adamant that Handa could have saved the deflection. Thoughts? Upon looking at the goal I’m still convinced there was absolutely nothing he could do.

 

[acroMacho]

No way he could have saved it. Yes, he could, if he knew it will be deflected. You can't change your center of mass from moving towards top right corner to sudenly change your entire momentum to left side.... Impossible for any human.

 

[Javier'sSon]

Yeah Handa's body language makes you think he gave up when he had a chance when in most cases there was nothing that he could do about it.

 

[Besnik]

I'm not saying he could have done better, but what he is a lazy goalkeeper, nobody could deny that. I have also mentioned in match threads that his positioning is a lot to be desired for a goalkeeper of his experience, and besides of that he seems like an awkward person to me. He does some weird things and is too mute for a captain.

He was our most consistent player throughout the years and was the biggest reason that we were not worse than we have been (and we know how shite we were for an entire decade), but that doesn't mean that he shouldn't get the blame in particular occassions.

Hopefully we find a proper successor to him because time has come, and if we keep pushing further then he may be the weakest point of this team sooner than later.

I have a confession to make. I been unfaithful. Having doubts over your performence.

After watching first 2 min of the second half today. I will never doubt you again.

I WILL KNEEL BEFORE YOU.

Nice and honest of you and don't worry, A lot of us have been doing this, he made 3 great saves however imo .. he did his job.

 

[wera]

Him and Perišić were truly in derby mode today. If we win the scudetto, these are two performances that stick out for me, at least for this game.

 

[dax21]

Old man came through when it mattered, easily MOTM.

I liked that completely unnecessary, boyishly cocky dive to save a ball towards his left side when it wasn't even going to be a corner. He was in great mood today.

 

[Ethor]

Holy smokes! He was brilliant today!

 

[Il Drago]

Vintage Batmanovic. He has made some mistakes this season but his performances against Napoli and Milan should be special mentions in case we win Scudetto.

 

[Tamirk]

Fucking god today, not need to say more, fucking batman!

 

[vex]

That sequence of saves is one of the best I saw in recent memory from any goalie. I would love more than anything he lifts the trophy for us at the end of the season. If anybody deserves it its him.

 

[William]

He was simply brilliant today! Unstoppable!!

 

[Shark]

He deserves as much credit as the goal scorers. Made crucial saves when we were only 1 goal up. Would have been a totally different game if he didn't make those saves.

 

[ADRossi]

The man deserves a trophy as the sole survivor of a decade of ineptitude. Let's get it for him.
