Sommer one of the most underappreciated goalkeepers the last decade
Main
Great to see such a small number of clean sheets.
BTTS = Fun.
Sad
Go to Italy for Clean Sheets

ligue 1 isnt a top 5 league
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.
No one actually thinks the Eredivisie is better than Ligue 1, it's just funny to make fun of the French.
Bulka any good?
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.
My guy Nick Pope is still considerably underrated and it’s god damn criminal
They messed up bologna and rayo vallexanos logos they need to be switched
Why did Bayern let Sommer go? I still can’t figure it out
3 Polish goalkeepers in top 10 is impressive.
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
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?
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!?
Dudek legacy
Am I the only one who thinks clean sheets are more of an indication of great defensive play rather than great goalkeeping ability?
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.
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
Yeah it really depends on the specific game and the keeper. Some keepers also kind of run the defense and some dont.
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
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
Atta boy Juan!
Poland and goalkeepers
Chelsea legend Marcin Bulka 🫡
Him
The names/badges Dimitrievski and Skorupski are mixed up.
yea. i almost thought that dimitrievski moved on deadline day or sth lol.
3 Polish keepers on this list 🔥🔥
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.
Not his fault his defence is playing patty cakes
Szczesny at 5 in 7 seems really good.
Don't jinx us.
Feel like pure shit just want him back 💔💔
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.
Nice, three Polish goalkeepers
The ordering is so annoying! Ter Stegen should be too, poor third… more games with the same clean sheets…
Barca's defense had a master class last year they had some loose games this year, but still an impressive show by Ter Stegen
