He made a save in the shootout against Lazio.
When was the last time he saved a penalty, in an official match, that wasn’t a shootout? I honestly can’t remember.

If had a arrogance about him he would get talked about more. For me he is perfect. Does his job very well and is rather quiet.

A keeper is at their best when you barely notice them. Handanovic will also due some superhuman things other goalies could never.
Something that's often overlooked with Samir is how well he organizes the defense (something that's not so easy for a spectator to pick up on).
He's also gotten a lot better with his feet since Spalletti arrived and wanted to play out from the back. Not that he's the best in this aspect, but more than good enough and well rounded overall.

While he did get significantly better at visibly shouting at his teammates, ever since he got the armband, the fuck happened to his footwork? he was abysmal at it last night.

With all due respect to Handanovic, I really don’t like the goalkeeper being captain. There were several moments where Lautaro needed to be dragged away from the referee and told to chill.

I think that's more of a weak squad issue.

We had previously had senatorii like Cambiasso, Stankovic, Samuel, Materazzi, JC, Milito who could all provide mediation to temperamental shitters like Balotelli or Lautaro. Now, our "senior" members are (were?) Ranocchia, Brozovic, D'Ambrosio, Nagatomo, Perisic, Icardi...

Skriniar is still young, de Vrij seems like a quiet dude and according to Spalletti is "a sensitive guy" :yao: Godin is new, and everyone else sucks. Handanovic is not only the best choice, but really the only choice.

Though I do get your point. It's why Mourinho wanted someone other than Casillas to be captain - to deal with on pitch issues and talk to the ref etc.

Yep, the 9-1 goal difference so far is pretty impressive.

Gloves used on derby. Well, that explains it.

Someone needs to check I'm willing to bet his 200th and 100th Inter games he played like a god too AND went for every ball regardless of it was savable or not.

Via Siav on Twitter:

Handanovic: "I didn't expect a start like this, I desired it. We did well against a great team like Lazio, but in the second half time we should've scored"
"We made many errors today, we can't think we've done anything yet and need to improve. Today we weren't good enough but Lazio didn't punish and the important thing is we got the three points"
Handanovic asked about if this is the year Inter can win a title: "It's the only thing I'm missing in my career and it's a target for me."

Very well said. It's great that the players' standards are higher now and that they're not getting carried away with the results.

Handanovic asked about if this is the year Inter can win a title: "It's the only thing I'm missing in my career and it's a target for me."

This is one of the reasons that I really really really hope we could win the title this season.
For me personally, I don't mind if we don't win it this season and I'm not expecting it however this guy needs to lift a trophy.

Inter has let him down year after year after year it's about time we repay him for what he's done for us.
