# Crystal Palace: Fans share love for Vicente Guaita after terrific save

**Many Crystal Palace fans have jumped on Twitter to express their appreciation for goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.**

It’s not been the worst of starts for Palace, however, with a pretty underwhelming transfer window and a key player in Wilfried Zaha not really wanting to be at the club, you can argue there is still a sense of pessimism around SE25.

[Zaha obviously failed in his attempts](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/aug/07/crystal-palace-tell-everton-they-will-not-sell-wilfried-zaha-for-less-than-100m) to make a bigger move elsewhere, while Palace also [could not replace key players](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/crystal-palace/transfers/verein/873) (Transfermarkt) from last season in the right-back and striker positions in Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Michy Batshuayi.

More positively, there is one position that Palace fans can certainly relax about – and that’s between the sticks.

Hodgson decided to [ease Guaita into the first-team fold](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/vicente-guaita/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/64399/plus/0?saison=2018&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) last season, but now there is no doubt about the number one jersey – he has started every game this season, with an average of [6.52](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/33866/Show/Vicente-Guaita) according to WhoScored’s algorithm, and has only conceded seven in his first six.

After the Crystal Palace Twitter account posted a video of the ‘keeper pulling off a fantastic close-range effort from Matt Doherty, fans couldn’t resist but share their love for the former Getafe man.

Here are some of the responses below…
