Sommer one of the most underappreciated goalkeepers the last decade

[–] B_e_l_l_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Great to see such a small number of clean sheets.

BTTS = Fun.

ligue 1 isnt a top 5 league

[–] MrPigcho@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is true from the perspective of 'performance of teams in European competitions in the last 5 years' but there are other factors that impact the inclusion or exclusion of leagues in statistics. France is a top 5 league in revenue for example, which is a fairly good proxy to measure how many people follow the league and would therefore be interested in hearing stats about it.

I personally would like all stats to include the top 7 leagues but it gets tiring to see people pretend not to understand why Ligue 1 is chosen as the 5th league ahead of Eredivisie or Primeira Liga.

[–] gazjelle@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

No one actually thinks the Eredivisie is better than Ligue 1, it's just funny to make fun of the French.

6 clean sheets, 2 penalties saved, finally got called up for Poland squad (as a 3rd goalkeeper tho). You should try to get him back before the price gets ridiculous.

[–] Trinovid-DE@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My guy Nick Pope is still considerably underrated and it’s god damn criminal

[–] turnipofficer@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Can't even get in the England squad heh. It's madness.

They messed up bologna and rayo vallexanos logos they need to be switched

[–] lilmuddyy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why did Bayern let Sommer go? I still can’t figure it out

[–] Nobbs89@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (10 children)

3 Polish goalkeepers in top 10 is impressive.

[–] lolzor7@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For some reason Poland has seemed to generate a disproportionate number of quality keepers for a number of years now. Especially when you compare it to some of the crap you see in other positions in the national team 😂

Their damn good

[–] LieutenantStinkyFoot@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

It’s a shame you’re only allowed to have one on the pitch, otherwise we may actually have had a chance to qualify for EUROs.

Very! Can Poland please give away one to other national teams in need?

[–] Skoczek777@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Only as an exchange for anyone who can play football. Preferably center or left backs.
God damn you Spain, why do you have so much of them!?

Am I the only one who thinks clean sheets are more of an indication of great defensive play rather than great goalkeeping ability?

[–] xqz32dll@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Let me turn that thought around: Am I the only one who thinks goals scored are more of an indication of great offensive play rather than great scoring ability?

Let's say a keeper faces like 10 shots a game and has to save every single one to keep his clean sheet. A striker can bottle 9 chances and just poach in one shot to score.

[–] surgereaper@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Ucl final of 2022 is probably the biggest example of how sometimes it's the defence, sometimes the keeper single handedly and sometimes a combination of both

[–] Newcastlewin1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah it really depends on the specific game and the keeper. Some keepers also kind of run the defense and some dont.

[–] poslovnireddit@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

True but Curtois carries that ucl win from the groups to the final, his saves were crazy and impressive

Case in point Onana last year

[–] Fancy-Past-6831@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think it's a bit of both, even a single great save can result in a clean sheet. Kobel for time and again has saved our asses so has MATS for barca in last couple of seasons.

I think it’s time for Bayern to make a move on Nübel

The names/badges Dimitrievski and Skorupski are mixed up.

[–] UnluckyGazelle@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

yea. i almost thought that dimitrievski moved on deadline day or sth lol.

[–] Zkurwysyn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

3 Polish keepers on this list 🔥🔥

[–] rckpdl@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You know when the Poles are in the thread because their usernames always look like a daedric summoning ritual.

forever peeved that Alison never makes these lists despite being one of the best keepers in the world.

[–] i-am-a-bike@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Not his fault his defence is playing patty cakes

[–] ThaBlackLoki@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Szczesny at 5 in 7 seems really good.

[–] BaffledPlato@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Don't jinx us.

[–] prettybunbun@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Feel like pure shit just want him back 💔💔

[–] Compieuter@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Good to see that Nice got a good replacement. As Walter Benitez is currently on 6 clean sheets in 9 games for PSV as well.

[–] skonany_barbarzynca@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nice, three Polish goalkeepers

[–] KingEOK@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The ordering is so annoying! Ter Stegen should be too, poor third… more games with the same clean sheets…

[–] rmk_1808@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Barca's defense had a master class last year they had some loose games this year, but still an impressive show by Ter Stegen
