Is there a table of these?

I may be wrong but we seem to concede way more than we score.

Be interesting to see how they have panned out for the PL teams so far

My friend refers to these as ‘professional’ deflections implying that the better teams and players take shots in areas that have the potential to deflect off players wrong-footing goalkeepers.

A bit like players who head or kick the ball into the ground to make its trajectory harder to read.

Are you sure you are not deflecting from the death of the Pope?

That would be if it went in off the cross(bar).

I thought so. Something funny is going on here. The crucifix is in.
