Thought the same with the Zlatan save. No contest for me.

The Austin save for me was very special. We just happened to have the best possible view of it and I just couldn't see how on earth he could save it.

Watford was on my mind but left it for ‘other’. Was a top save as he was going the other way and had to readjust

I don't see it, unless I'm missing something. It might be a mod only option.

I wonder if this is something that would add to the board if everybody had the feature - could you raise it with Tony as they can be fun.

Austin header was the best save I have ever seen from a Burnley keeper.

United more iconic, but Southampton I genuinely couldn’t believe how he saved it

I said it at the time but that save at Southampton was up there with the greatest saves I have seen from any keeper ever. Banksesque from Pele in 1970. The Zlatan one was good but had an element of luck about it, Southampton was out of this world brilliance.

100% agree Herts - I know we don't always agree on goalkeepers (Hansbury v Neenan) but Tom's save that day was something else.

Tony, is allowing all posters the option to create polls something you've considered, or do you think it could be abused with too many drowning the board?

His greatest save today was collecting the cross under pressure in the very same way he got injured. It just screamed out that he's back.

Zlatan at Old Trafford. It won us a point. The Austin one was just as fine, but really just helped keep the score down.

The Zlatan save whilst excellent was purely a case of doing the starfish and getting something in the way. Todays save was a definite movement of his hand to get it up and onto the bar but the Austin save beats them all. Speed, agility and strong hand, unbelievable Jeff.

Zlatan and Charlie 1&2, Deeney at 4. See link

Another for the Austin save.
His 'Starfish' one at OT was good, but yesterdays effort could well be the runner up to the one off Charlie.

I can't remember the Austin one (age thing) but remember the Zlatan one which was superb.

Ultimately it did just keep the score down but I think it was 0-0 at the time. I just think, as a save, it was as good as anything I'm ever likely to see.

What I like about Tom is he never ******** his defence after making a great save, like Pickford and others do. Never really understood what that's about.

Couldn’t agree more. There are saves keepers make that they don’t know much about; them just make themselves big and trust their luck. Very different to there being a reaction and movement to the ball.
