Some absolutely cracking saves today. Really kept us in the match. Never looked flustered under pressure either.

The constant muttering under his breath in what I assume is Serbian did more to inspire confidence in me than DDVs entire season

He kept patting our badge and doing the hail Mary (I think) where he'd tap his head then shoulders.

Quality debut for him, did very well in every aspect of the game my only slight criticism is his kicking doesn't look great, but can't judge that too much after 1 game.

The Head-Coach has evidently been tracking him for some time, so it probably wouldn't be wrong to assume that he probably suits Monti's desire to play the ball out more from the back.

Hard as nails, cool as the f***ing Fonz. And he backs it up with saves. I don't think I could love him any more

You never know how a goalkeeper is going to get on in his debut because it's all eyes on the new boy in one of the most important positions on the pitch.

Claudio Bravo looked shaky yesterday even though he's world class. There's been quite a few others who've looked shaky too such as David De Gea, who again is world class.

But Vlad has really delivered today, and then some.

One more thing to note - whilst most goalkeepers waste time by rolling around on the floor looking like a weakling, this guy decided to waste time by pretending to throw up next to his goal. He doesn't show weakness, he just vomits his imaginary pain out of his body. LONG LIVE KING VLAD

Leicester fans. Inappropriate.

As for the keeper, I'm sick of keepers being normal people these days. It's stupid and boring. Teams are going to score against you, and your job in its entirety is to be the last line of defence and the man in charge of the line before that. You are doomed to near-constant failure from the moment you commit to playing a season of football. No entirely rational person should be taking on such a role. A keeper needs to be his own man, he must find in himself a higher calling than the mundane reality of his thankless place in the team. I hesitate to say he must be unflappable, because flapping successfully is part of any great keeper's repertoire of moves. A real keeper, like from the nineties or before, is not Bon Jovi, he is Guns n' Roses. He is not Later with Jools Holland, he is The Word. He is not King Hussein of Jordan, he is Muammar Gaddafi. There can be no coming between a real keeper and 'the voices'. The voices keep him company when the team is pressing forward well. The voices remind him that even though he is picking the ball out of the net, that shipment of modelling clay will have arrived when he gets home and his Diorama of characters from Andrew Lloyd-Webber musicals will be complete before he returns to training on Monday. They shout all the things at the opposition fans behind him so he doesn't need to. They sing of great battles in norse folklore and the memory of a childhood sweetheart.

Vladimir Stojkovic is a proper keeper. Our first for some time. He will have his ups and downs, but he will keep his goal in the ancient tradition of the old masters. Honest and true, touched by genius and always one toe in the unknowable universe beyond our perception.

Vlad played an absolute blinder today.

The first time he caught the ball he kissed it. If I was the ball I would have kissed him back.
Tongues and all.

I'm not usually a fan of footballers wearing things to keep their hair out of their eyes, but with Vlad it just added to his crazy image.

He looks like a keeper from the late 70s who we've dragged through to 2016 using a time portal.
