How has your team’s GK performed?
#Pickford’s class shot stopping & distribution puts him top 🏴
#Pope, #Henderson, & #Leno have had great starts at their new clubs🧤
Big mistakes have cost #DeGea & #Ramsdale 😱
#Ward has struggled in all areas 😞

The GK xG model shown above looks at every shot faced, pass received, cross faced & through ball faced & calculates the probability of a goal occurring for & against the GK’s team before the event & after the event occurs!
Thus it measures & evaluates every action a GKs makes!
Thus it measures & evaluates every action a GKs makes!
This allows all GKs to be given a single number measured in goals called
“Total Value in Goals”
Which describes the GK’s value to their side vs having a league average GK & takes into account everything they do meaning GKs of vastly different styles can be fairly compared!

Not a good night for #Ramsdale!
The 4th goal summed it up!
-Engaged the 1v1 when it was 20yrd out & there was a CB covering making the finish far easier
-Using the smother technique rather than the spread technique making the chipped finish far more difficult to save

My 1v1 model shows that engaging 1v1s at distances greater than 14yrds from goal just makes the finishes easier rather than harder
The best GKs (like #Alisson) often wait deep & lure the striker in & then engage the ball once they know they can snuff out the shot!

My 1v1 model also finds the smother to be very vulnerable when the 1v1 is central as it often allows the GK to be rounded or chipped plus it does very little to cover the side the GK does not have their hands!
A spread wouldn’t drastically increased the Rambos save probability!

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!

Today I’ll breakdown #DeGea’s performance in the #PremierLeague using my bespoke GK models!
The headline is for the first time in 3 seasons #DeGea’s shot stopping skills are outweighing his weak shot prevention skills & thus far he has saved #MUFC ~5 additional goals!

Shot Stopping:
#DeGea’s shot stopping has been world class, my model predicts he has saved #MUFC ~5 goals more than an average #PL shot stopper would’ve thus far!
The goalmouth map highlights just how hard #DeGea has been to beat, if you don’t hit the corners you won’t score!

His Best 3 Saves (Lowest ExSave Saves Made) are below 😮:
1. 24% Save Probability vs Jesus
2. 34% Save Probability vs Almiron
3. 42% Save Probability vs Pukki
They highlight #DeGea big strength, his reflexes & ability to cover huge amounts of the goal area.

How good has #Ramsdale been for #Arsenal so far?
I’ve seen him described as both “the signing of the season” & “a camera save merchant” but what does the data say?
In this thread I will breakdown his performance in all areas of goalkeeping using my bespoke models

Shot Stopping:
#Ramsdale’s shot stopping has been excellent, my model predicts he has saved #AFC ~3 goals more than an average #PL shot stopper would’ve thus far!
He’s basically only conceded vs close range shots in the corners & has pulled a few shots out of the top corners!

My models view of #Ramsdale’s FK save:
He was well positioned as he was stood on the line between the ball & the outside of the wall!
It was a good, but not unbelievable, save. My model finds such a FK gets saved ~50% of the time due to its low speed & distance from the post!

I’ve seen the save described on Twitter as both the save of the season & poor positioning followed by a slow recovery!
As usual the truth is between the two & I should make it clear here that saving a 50/50 shot is a lot closer to the save of the season than poor GKing!

#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!

THREAD: #Ramsdale to #Arsenal
It will be interesting to see how #Ramsdale gets on at #AFC & how his game evolves.
One thing #AFC know they are getting is a quality 1v1 stopper!
My model suggests #Ramsdale’s 1v1 prowess saved #SUFC ~3 goals more than an average #PL GK would’ve!

#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...
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%.
