INTERNATIONAL OR FINISHED? 🇫🇮 | Antti Niemi rates his best saves for Southampton

[@chris_wordley]

Great watch, there was a clutch of keepers in the prem in that era who you thought "we need to be on top form to score past them today", Niemi was one of those. From a Bolton fan.

[@Sammspade10]

Amazing keeper and the fact that he is so honest about his faults is a credit to him, too.

[@LatviasMichaelOwen]

What a keeper he was for us. Remember seeing that save from the villa free kick live and bought the whole of st Mary’s to their feet to applaud, can’t believe it wasn’t in his top 3! Great interview, nice to see how modest Antti is and what high standards he sets for himself. Our best keeper since Shilton, really highlights how lacking we’ve been in that department for a long time.

[@colingeddes2172]

💯 . Our best keeper since shilton. Anti was brilliant for us.

legend

[@neilchapman9387]

One of my favourite every saints goalkeepers !!

[@mrmystery9965]

I love his honesty haha. Legend 🔴⚪️

[@lauritammi4598]

As a Finn it was so interesting to watch it! Antti is still a national team coach and can analyze really well the game, the plays and the videos. He pointed out an extremely interesting thing: a “great save” looks different for the audiences than for the goalkeepers themselves. Could you next time ask Antti to open that up, explain and analyze it a little bit l - why’s that? I’m sure a super fascinating discussion would follow! A brilliant, original video though, thank you! 🙏

What a very nice man

Antti Niemi Is The Best Legend Goalkeeper Southampton.

[@domonicgregory7116]

10/10 back in my youth I always had Saints home kit football shirts, but when Niemi was in goal, I had the Orange and then Grey Goalkeeper tops A***** 10/10 Keeper

[@stewartwyeth1302]

What a gk he was! One of the best and we have been blessed in that department. Was it Jones who passed the gloves over?

[@익명-z4u9j]

안티 니에미선수 대단합니다!!

[@RedAndWhiteSFC]

Probably the best GK we’ve had at Southampton

[@DanFernandesBenficaSaint]

Peter Shilton thanks you.

[@-nWo]

No

[@8964TS]

It’s noticeable how the power of the shot is the main metric by which he judges difficulty. I’d assume angle and height and visibility, but almost all the ‘international’ ones were because he remembered they were hard shots.

[@thebogeyman-golf3780]

There was a save from a cross against Middlesbrough away that didn’t make this. That was his best save for me. It’s was so like no other save I’ve seen before or since.

[@whizzpop1983]

I thought he was a natural blonde :) Best gk in my lifetime so far, possibly Flowers and peak Forster come close. Shame he ended up at Pompey though, should have stayed at Saints in the Championship i'm sure we would have bounced back earlier.

[@Patrick-xf1cw]

He’s not finished, he only 28!

[@callumnineninenine6886]

god knows how he never got called up for England

[@colingeddes2172]

Probably because hes from finland and played for that country as hes finnish.😀

He's only 28 ...

[@jezwotton2126]

Never get bored of that talksport clip 😂

[@HugoBSmith]

Lo recuerdo en la liga premier inglesa

[@Saintash1964]

Probably only 2nd to Peter Shilton for Saints

[@justing6986]

Lol there’s a Finnish hockey goalie by the name Antti Niemi as well, it’s easy for me to confuse the two lmao

[@GingerRum]

If I had to pick between Anti Niemi and Peter Shilton, I would say, very marginally, Anti.

[@matthewoleary02]

He's not finished he's only 28

[@vicwiseman2340]

How he was never selected for Scotland I'll never know! 🙄

[@-nWo]

SKATE!! NEVER FORGET OR FORGIVE
