I can't find the chart that shows this but we don't give up many shots but when we do, they are very high quality shots. For us this season, Ryan faced the toughest shots in the league (0.37 PSxG/SoT). Sanchez has faced shots with an above average difficulty (0.31 PSxG/SoT). So it's pretty...

PSxG -- Post-Shot Expected Goals PSxG is expected goals based on how likely the goalkeeper is to save the shot PSxG/SoT Post-Shot Expected Goals per Shot on Target PSxG+/- -- Post-Shot Expected Goals minus Goals Allowed Positive numbers suggest better luck or an above average ability to stop...

If we order the goalkeepers by who has faced the highest quality shots, none of the top 5 for save percentage are in the top 5.

Save percentage is a bit of an outdated stat as it doesn't take into account the quality of the shot. If we use a more relevant metric, Sanchez is still top 4.

In many of our games this season, I have thought we could have played pretty much anyone in goal and the result would be the same. Today was similar but what really impressed me was when Sanchez made some big claims and most importantly, his concentration. Steele's clanger against Newport...

Sometimes when doing analysis of a player or team over a period, the data used will be 'non-penalty' xg but for matches the xg always includes penalties.

No, they count for . 76 xg.

That will be overinflated due to the missed penalty but still good numbers.

Could have done better for the OG but some of his distribution today was very good, specifically the ball to Zeqiri for the penalty and the ball to Trossard for what should have been a goal. Also made one really good claim from a cross (or maybe a free kick?) towards the end.

I would imagine that we would be trying to sign players that are part of our top 10 vision and therefore good enough to get us out of the relegation battle.

You can't accept an opinion that doesn't match up to your own, can you? Night x

So we can only spend it on positions that aren't goalkeeper?

Sure, but there is nothing to suggest that we don't have budget to sign one. Sounds like the club were doing their due diligence in the summer, so I am sure they already have a few options in mind and know what fee and wages they would command. Whether they feel the need to go out and get...

Why does looking for a new GK impact us with 'far more pressing needs'?.

Bit shaky today.

Shown enough to be given the shirt. To be seen if he is the answer for the rest of the season or if a new keeper comes in January (or Ryan wins his place back).
