    We've conceded less shots and less Expected Goals than last season.

    Our keeper was outperforming their expected goals last year. Not this year though.

    If you want to criticise the stat, you could suggest that the various shot takers did better with the same grade of opportunities rather than our keeper/s doing worse.

    It's obviously only natural but I do think there's things Alisson does or doesn't do that are different to years gone by. Age catches up and whilst he's still one of the best he's probably past his absolute peak.
    That's not me saying I want him gone before it gets jumped on.

    On top of that, I don't think he's the most naturally "fit" of players, of course, all footballers are super fit, but there's plenty of examples where some aren't as fit.... or decline with age especially, Charlie adam?!? hence he gets injured quite a bit, it's weird how life is some are naturally just more fit than others

    I mean I don't think reina was naturally the fittest either, and towards the end he took 7 working days to dive down to try and save a shot

    Yes because we weren’t letting them run all the way into our box & because of how we defended you statto fucking clown That’s why u hate stattos because a lot of your statto bullshit doesn’t account for the actual game f football & differences between how players were asked to play one season affects it & it’s the game that matters to me

    The shots were from further out or our defenders had made the great angles they always did for our keeper under Jurgen meaning the opposition player had less of the goal to aim at

    As stated in my post of how we used to defend

    Most goals we’ve conceded this season have been from shots inside our area when a player has run across one of our static zonal defenders & had all the goal to fucking aim at

    I know you’re a statto but you surely understand defending, taking a position to make an opponent go where you want them to, drastically reducing the amount f the goal they have to aim at, allowing other defenders & your keeper to take their position off that as they’re all on the same page because it’s the best fucking way to defend

    Our midfield being much better & present this year together with Gakpo who is very good without the ball has made a difference to goals against
