Jordan Pickford

[Shogun]

Henderson is 3 years younger than Pickford. Ramsdale is 4 years younger. Pope is 2 years older. Realistically the only keeper who you could argue it's worthwhile easing him out for is Trafford and he's ruined that for now by sitting on Man City's bench.

But if you are of the opinion, and I don't watch any of them enough to know, but if you are of the opinion that they are better, or could be better - it does make sense

Well yeah... You could apply that to anyything... "if someone was of the opinion [about something]... it would make sense that they were of that opinion'".

I mean, your logic is undeniable.

No I'm saying if they are of the opinion that Henderson could be a lot better than Pickford, then it makes sense to say - it's a risk because JP is good but we need to temper the next GK. Doesn't seem that mad.

And in the article it says Henderson for example is rated better than him in the goalie xg prevented league.

Can’t be doing with xg shite, it’s the eye test that only matters to me. Could be my age, but I really can’t be doing with all the stats bollocks.

[Bob Sacamano]

I don’t think he’s got anything to worry about. They all make a show of themselves when they deputise for him.

Yeah, ask Travers about that…

Is xg for keepers that sams xg for attacking chances?

Pretty much, it says in the article 'post-shot' which take into account the shot itself not just the location the shot was from, but essentially the same thing - xg prevented

[4evablu]

Xg is for anything is expectant irrelevant nonsense…..

6 matches into the season btw.

6 matches into the season btw.

Exactly, stats have a time and a place, and that time and place is not when you have a paltry sample size. That ipaper article also says this:

"And given Pickford’s statistically poor start to the season – his decent display against Crystal Palace notwithstanding – it is possible this is the season he loses that iron-clad grip on his place."

So of those 7 games, one doesnt count because it doesn't fit the narrative...

Shite. I'd be pulled in by my line manager if I presented crap like that at work.

Any links to the stats in question, is it still opta? I probably do need to be a bit more moneyball these days.
