My 1st @goalkeeper_com piece:
How many goals were the big 6 GKs worth vs the avg #PL GK?
#Alisson was worth ~19 goals! What more does a GK have to do to get #POTY!
#DeGea was the best shot stopper but his weak shot prevention & distribution meant he was only worth ~3 goals!

This is my favourite #DeGea #UCL save from yesterday
Because it didn’t require athleticism or reflexes it required calmness & good decision making!
38% of the time a 1v1 in that position results in a goal but after DDGs decision to rush back to his line & wait this falls to 7%!

#DeGea showed you don’t need to start deep to get into such a position, he was over 12yrd out & was ready to sweep if he had to but because he made the decision to drop & react so quickly & confidently he managed to use his wonderful fast footwork to get back in time.

This save is another example of how the best GKs in the world make difficult moments look easy & make finishes harder for strikers & thus force them into hitting poor inaccurate shots

Class from #Alisson!
Wonderful decision to wait & react rather than engaging #Pukki!
#Alisson’s improved so much vs long range 1v1s!

What a save from #DeGea
Unbelievably calm GKing in a crucial moment
It may look like a simple save but that’s all because of his exemplary decision to use the wait & react 1v1 strategy as the 1v1 was from long range!
Not many GKs could make such a good decision

The striker was ~16 yrds from the centre of goal & at a pretty wide angle (hard to see from the photo) so #DeGea’s decision to stay deep made the finish very difficult as he didn’t rush out & gift a simple dink/rounded finish
The great thing about #DeGea’s positioning here is that if the striker takes a touch rather than shooting he’s far enough off his line & prepared & ready to engage then, only once he knows the striker is so close to goal that he can no longer trust his reactions to make the save!
#PremierLeague Shotstopping Performance Graphic:
#Ederson #Areola #Martinez & #Sanchez have been class 🔥
#Henderson has outperformed #DeGea when it comes to shotstopping 🔄
Despite criticism #Ramsdale #Pickford & #Guaita have performed at a roughly average top flight level 👀

Explanation of ExSaves:
ExSaves are calculated by looking at every shot a GK faces & using the shots distance, angle, trajectory, final location, the number of defenders in the way + other things & using historical data to find the probability that an avg PL GK makes the save...

...Therefore as a rough example a shot from 40yrds at a tight angle that goes down the middle of goal with all the teams defenders behind the ball may have an ExSave of 99% whereas a central 1v1 from 10yrds fired into the bottom corner may have an ExSave of 10%.
#Ederson’s biggest weakness costs #ManchesterCity again!
His habit of rushing out & engaging during long range 1v1s consistently costs goals!
He needs to back pedal into his 6yrd box & force a proper finish
By rushing here he allows a central sidefoot (the easiest finish) in!

My 1v1 model shows that in this situation if a GK back pedals into their 6yrd box they will save this 1v1 91% of the time!
Whereas if they engage & spread as #Ederson did here they will only make the save 48% of the time!
His decision making made a simple save into a hard one!
