Well, I suppose the most economical way to win a football match is to get the opposition to do the hardest bit for you. Heaton - 7 - Caught out in no-mans land by the quality of Schurle's first touch for their goal, but otherwise very solid on abysmal day for goalkeeping. Bardsley - 6 - Looked to b...

I just get the feeling that he is playing at the absolute limit of his ability at the moment, and as a result is playing OK. But I'm not sure we can expect much more from him at this level. He would be a solid championship LB.

He was good today. Got the feeling he was playing at his absolute limit though, and he's too slow going fwd

Their chances weren't great. We have a terrible goalkeeper.

Claretto

Using your numbers...

This season: 74 saves and 41 conceded = 64% save percentage (must be one of lowest in the league)

Last season: 122 saves and 39 conceded = 77% save percentage (one of highest in the league)

If you're gonna use stats, at least use them correctly.

Cork was terrible and has been for a while. No strength or pace and an inability to play a forward pass. He's a right footed David Jones.

Fully agree. And I think it already has. We simply didn't need another keeper at that moment in time.

Claretto

He was terrible (along with everyone else) for the second. I know it was over the line but still...play to the whistle as you are taught at the age of 5. Especially as a goalkeeper.

I thought lowton was one of our better players yesterday.

At least a league above bardsley.

The stats tell you nothing. Last week we scored 4 and I’m guessing the expected was 1. What do you expect? Of course the actual score will be a better indicator of the actual score than the xG... The xG is a useful tool, but not gospel. We are somewhat of an xG anomaly given the number of players w...

Nil apiece stalemate.

We have a soft underbelly, so you're predicting a clean sheet?

Claretto

You can’t put everything down to stats. Not a dig but use Westwood for an example. If Defour and Westwood both passed the ball 30 times with a 100% completion rate a far higher percentage of Defours passes would be far more effective. If anyone tried to draw any conclusions from those stats it woul...

Stats are wonderful things and those at the top of the thread show we get better results when he plays then when he doesn't.

Since Defour joined in August 2016 we have played 80 premier league matches. Defour has started in exactly 40 of them. In the 40 games Defour has started, we have earned 59 points, or 1.48 points per game. Roughly 56 points over a 38 game season. In the 40 games Defour has not started, we have earne...

Who pays sky sports then ?

Serious question. Since Keith Newton, how many right backs have we had who have been better than Bardsley? I can only really think of Trippier and Lowton, (who's out of form).

It's impossible to judge his quality without getting any game time - I am surprised he wasn't given more than a few minutes all season.

There were 1,299 stabbings in London up to April, or almost 11 per day. One over the course of a two day "crime fest" seems incredibly low.

We’ve been the anomaly in the xG stat traditionally because we put bodies between the ball and goal, even from position where the expectation of scoring is “high”. Today, we didn’t do that, we got dragged around the pitch and hit on the break. Hart wasn’t the problem today, the midfield and defence...
