Guy was top 3 in the league only in 3 out of 8 seasons.

In half the seasons he played for us he finished outside of top 5 for keepers with the best shot saving stats. In 2 of those seasons he was abysmal.

And that's his strong competition :lol:.

Imagine this guy in Flick's system that is built on ultra attacking tactics and exposed defense.

And we know 2022/2023 boost was only cause of new hair. I would put a big asterisk behind that one.

If we want to look at GK save % as some absolute stat then Onana was the best GK in EPL last season.

While Alison was 7th.

If you want to look at save % then realise that Scezny save % this season so far in league is 29th in La Liga and lower than any season MATS has had by far.

Yeah, let's see Stegen with Flick's ultra attacking football.

Alisson had some bad seasons in the last years. Same as Oblak.

This season Onana is 11th, Ederson is 13th, makes sense.

Haha always some 'reason'.

Last season Onana was top and Alison was 7th....

MATS % this season with Flicks 'Ultra attacking football' is still better than Scezny anyway.

Alison has been in top 2 GKs in world for years.

List of GKs with higher % than Allison this season in EPL after Onana was 1st last season ahead of Allison/Ederson etc last season.

Robert Sanchez.
Raya
Kepa
Sels
Fabianski
Flekken.

All def better than Allison. Def.

Yeah i noticed scezny is facing few but high quality shots this season.

May be a better stat would compare xG faced vs xG averted. No?

Cant seem to find this type of stat anywhere.
Probably the most accurate stat to predict how good a GK actually is.

Even comments on official twitter feed aren't very friendly. Bet he is aware.
I doubt he cares. He won't leave and he will be a starter next season. We know how it works at Barca. Club is not as ruthless as Real Madrid - they offloaded Casemiro, Varane and other players in the past before they started to decline, we gave Alba and the rest contract extensions.

It's great he's back, more competition added for the GK position. There's one month of competitive football left and Tek is relatively solid for most of the part. I believe we'll go along with Wojciech for the rest of the season.

Next season will be drama, though. Club captain fighting for the spot.

P.S. - probably the last time I mention Iñaki Peña as Barca player. He's definitely going to be sold and above the quality to be 3rd option GK. Unless willing to wait for his time in seasons to come.
