#Ramsdale’s distribution last night was unreal!
All 12 of his open play passes resulted in unpressurised #AFC possession & made it more likely that #AFC scored next!
Additionally 7 of those passes successfully broke #AVFC lines & took multiple players out of the game!

What a ball this was
It’s unbelievable awareness to spot the run, then exceptional technique to pick it out!
Being able to set up 2 v 3 situations from the GK is so useful
This pass was certainly the standout moment for me but importantly it was not an isolated incident at all

This pass map is genuinely outrageous!
I don’t think I have ever seen a GK record a 100% successful & positive open play game where they were pressed on 40% of their passes & where they attempted to break the oppositions formation with 67% of their passes!

What a forced out of position 1v1 save from #Martinez!
His foot speed to get across is excellent & his decision to dive left pre-shot to get his body in-line with the ball is also class!
This was Emi’s 5th FOOP 1v1 save since 19/20!
No #PL GK has made more!

Definition: A forced out of position 1v1 is a 1v1 which occurs either after a rebound, ricochet, or cross which results in a 1v1 situation where the GK could not possibly be inline with the ball as the situation starts & needs to reposition quickly to make the save
As you can imagine forced out of position 1v1s are scored over 80% of the time & saving them is very difficult but basically the only way to give yourself a chance is to combine quick footspeed, determination, a willingness not to give up, & a tidy execution of the smother
After showing us how a GK can maximise their chances of saving a close range 1v1, #Schmeichel has just show how us how a GK can minimise their chances of saving a long range 1v1!
By engaging early he allows Wilson to easily round him with 1 touch!
He needed to wait for longer!

If #Schmeichel waits inside his 6 yard box for #Wilson’s touch, #Wilson then has a decision to make:
1. Shoot from 17yrd knowing defenders are track back.
2. Take a touch knowing he will bring it closer to goal but also closer to the GK.

Regardless of what decision #Wilson makes #Schmeichel will have a higher probability of making the save than he would have if he rushes out & engages early like he does.
1. If #Wilson shoots #Schmeichel’s deep position will maximise his reaction time & thus his save probability.
