![[Transfermarkt] Most clean sheets in the top 5 leagues, all competitions:](https://alien.top/pictrs/image/b99880d6-40a9-4d6e-8923-2db4a8334fda.webp){kind=link}
forever peeved that Alison never makes these lists despite being one of the best keepers in the world.
Not his fault his defence is playing patty cakes
It still hurts that Arsenal sold SZCZ! What a quality keeper he is!
Atta boy Juan!
Rayo with 5 clean sheets, 13 goals conceded and 7 of them were in one match lmao
Pope hello hello
Sommer and Nübel both not good enough for Bayern ….
Him
The names/badges Dimitrievski and Skorupski are mixed up.
yea. i almost thought that dimitrievski moved on deadline day or sth lol.
Szczesny at 5 in 7 seems really good.
Don’t jinx us.
Sad
Worth mentioning Mat Ryan has 8 clean sheets in Eredivisie this season
Which is actually a top 5 league according to uefa, unlike ligue 1
Am I the only one who thinks clean sheets are more of an indication of great defensive play rather than great goalkeeping ability?
I think it’s a bit of both, even a single great save can result in a clean sheet. Kobel for time and again has saved our asses so has MATS for barca in last couple of seasons.
Let me turn that thought around: Am I the only one who thinks goals scored are more of an indication of great offensive play rather than great scoring ability?
Let’s say a keeper faces like 10 shots a game and has to save every single one to keep his clean sheet. A striker can bottle 9 chances and just poach in one shot to score.
Ucl final of 2022 is probably the biggest example of how sometimes it’s the defence, sometimes the keeper single handedly and sometimes a combination of both
Yeah it really depends on the specific game and the keeper. Some keepers also kind of run the defense and some dont.
True but Curtois carries that ucl win from the groups to the final, his saves were crazy and impressive
My mate is a Liverpool fan and that final still gives him PTSD to this day
I have never been in more disbelief after that final, what a performance by Courtois that day
Case in point Onana last year
There should be another measurement than played games. As you said, a GK with bad players upfront is likely to be more in the middle of the action, hence potentially gets beaten more often.
I would love to have more context available from such stats, like how many shots on target, saves made in general or as others mentioned saved penalties.
Why does edinson Cavani have gloves on
I think it’s time for Bayern to make a move on Nübel
Marcin Bulka up there! He looked fantastic as a youth player at Chelsea and it’s a shame he was never given a chance.
