Keeping goals out ...

Post by Clarets4me » Mon Feb 15, 2021 11:19 pm

Eight " Clean sheets " in 23 League games so far, including Six in our 12 away games ...

We achieved 15 last season, second only to Manchester City, and the same as Liverpool ...

if we can marry up that defensive fortress with strikers who can score more often than every Preston Guild, we've cracked it.

Table of keepers Goals Prevented in The Times Sport on Monday

"Opta can calculate how many goals a goalkeeper has prevented: the difference between their goals conceded and the number of goals they would be expected to concede based on the quality of shots they have faced. According to this metric, Guaita has let in ten more goals than he ought to have conceded this season."

Nick Pope is top of this table with 7.2 goals prevented. Second place is Areola at Fulham with 4.8. Guaita is at the other end of the table -10.8. Only 6 are in positive territory. Alisson -0.9, Pickford -1.6 and De Gea -1.8.

If he read that report he'd go straight to his Pickford poster in his bedroom saying they are picking on you again.
