#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%.
Last year #Guaita only saved 36% of the close range 1v1s he faced (only #Kepa & #DeGea were lower)
This is because he rarely forms a premeditated barrier before the shot is struck so gives himself no chance of making the save!
This weakness was exposed again tonight.

When shots are from close range there is simply not enough time for a GK to react therefore they have to get close to the striker & form a premeditated barrier & shrink the effective goal area & force the striker to “just hit the ball at them”

I analysed 800+ 1v1s in the #PremierLeague last year & using a logistic regression model found that the engage & react strategy that #Guiata regularly employs gives a GK a far lower chance of making the save vs the engage & block & the engage & spread premediated strategies.
