Great Saves or your favourite saves

I remember during his absolute golden period under LVG he had a Messi like stat where he was just miles ahead of every other GK in the world in overperforming his XG (or whatever the GK equivalent is). For a while there when a player went through 1v1 on him I was usually expecting him to save it. Such a pity an utterly amazing player's peak coincided with a trough for us and then he declined so much later that he won't be remembered half as well as he should be. We conceded under 30 league goals in 16-17 and 17-18 with what really was a very very average defence. Any other GK and we would have conceded 50+ in 15-16 in LVG's meltdown season.

Yep. Well put.
 
Martinez in the WC final.

Van der Sar saving Anelkas penalty will always be my personal favourite save though.

Not the best penalty taken, pretty straightforward save, but, my god, the eruption in the pub I was in in Tampa was seismic. It was about 70/30 United to Chavs support in the bar & they bailed out quickly. Free shots by the owner who is a massive Red Devils fan started the evening off right.

Had to go on YT the next morning just to make sure what I thought I saw the afternoon before was really what happened.

Love stories like this.

Had a feeling that Anelka was going to miss judging by his body language walking up and by Jesus the reaction from everyone when he did still gives me chills.

He did look like he wanted to be anywhere else than at that penalty spot.

If Drogba had been on the pitch he more than likely wouldnt have been. I know Rio was next for us after Giggs but there was always a rumour Terry jumped a spot to take his earlier :lol:
 
Ben Foster made an absolutely phenomenal save with his feet vs Arsenal at OT in 2009, losing 1-0 it was just after half time, went on to win 2-1.
 
Not my favorite saves but everytime Neuer saved against United when he was still playing for Schalke, I got so annoyed that it's quite memorable for me. I think that's how oppo fans felt whenever they faced De Gea during his peak.
 
Neuer vs Ronaldo, probably the most nonchalant save you'll ever see from that distance, the power on the shot and he just stucks out 1 hand to bat it away.

Certainly best save i have ever seen, especially because the free kick was so perfect that was going in to the left side of the net via the corner bar.

This is the one I’ve been looking for. It was a perfect strike.
 
When David de Gea made 14 saves in 1 match! | Arsenal vs Manchester United | Premier League



A couple of worldies in here too
 


What a save and what a moment to make it, away to Liverpool, at the kop end to ensure a 2-1 victory for us. Incredible.
 


Some pretty cool ones from Fillol
