I’ve got zero issue. Was genuinely wondering if anyone had watched him.
We’ll find out soon enough.
Nathan explains that in his tweet. Because the other two penalise keepers asked to play longer balls , ie like Raya is. Passes attempted suggests a keeper that his team are happy to pass to a lot.
It’s to measure up how good of a shot stopper you are vs how much you (presumably) take part in build up. He’s very close to Flekken who Brentford have signed btw.
Or an extra couple of floors on the new hotel?
You can't compare football to golf, however. A while back China was paying crazy fees and salaries, but that didn't result in a mass exodus of quality players. They'll still get the players who are looking for one last contract. Quality players will still ply their trade in Europe and head off to Saudi when they turn 30.
Surely anything a keeper does with his feet, beyond saving, is an attempted pass? Why would a goal kick not be an attempted pass?
While I appreciate the data and fully understand that distribution is very important for a keeper and maybe more importantly in Ange's system, but it seems odd that the chart has passing coupled with goals prevented.
Maybe I'm old fashioned but I think I care more about aerial success, save %, and defensive actions.
And rewind back and you wouldn't have found many complaining that we signed a 22 year old promising Championship centre back over a 23 year old South Korean who hadn't played at any higher level than the Chinese League...
BS... You immediately started whinging about pricetags.
That's just twitter and pretty much most of social media for you.
we shouldn't be following brighton or brentford, we are a far bigger club then both combined
if we follow brighton or brentford then charge brighton and brentford ticket prices
Yeah, but most keepers takes a similar number of goalkicks. The passes attempted metric is a percentile, so it means these keepers pass more than any others.
I wouldn’t say stupid. It does at least tell you some information.
It’s more flawed if you are making the assumption he is good with his feet just because he’s attempted passes.
While I agree that we should spend money where it’s really needed, being smart in the transfer market shouldn’t be a zero sum thing.
Why on earth should we copy chelsea United or city’s strategy when they have significantly bigger budgets? It just means we are running the same strategy but with less margin for error. We will guaranteed lose that battle more often than not.
