25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

[DonAK]

Will be nice to have a taller GK with a bigger presence in the box.

This club is obsessed with small GKs for some reason.

Lets see if he can perform though.

Thread moved. Now we need a nickname for him.

Woj.

It's similar in sound to a Bulgarian exclamation expressing astonishment.

Anyway, an interesting stat is expected goals against / xG faced / 90 mins played.

How much you overperform compared to the shots you face per 90 mins played. Stegen had +0.03 last season. He was 14th placed in the league.

Lunin for example had +0.20. He was 4th in the league, just behind Alvaro Valles on 3rd position with +0.21. Leader by far was Mamardashvili with +0.28.

 

[El Gato]

His?
Way too funny how you lot think sometimes

Zubizarreta is on the shorter side and still my fav

1st and 4th
Lol

This counts in the "rarely" section. Also 4th goal is on the defender as much as on him. Braindead move from him passing the ball to gk before even checking where he is. That shit usually leads to stupid blunders and own goals. Although Szczesny could have moved a little better too indeed. Had some class saves in that match as well if you watched all of his highlights not just the 2 mistakes.

 

[Horatio]

True, playing for Barca is very motivating.

Its not necessarily about Barca, but yeah Barca is great. It’s about likely having gotten sick and tired of Juve and possibly Italy. Spain better siu.

 

[Horatio]

You did well too

Shame your faith wavered a bit because of El Gato

No worries. Thanks for the credit still.

Good times ahead.

Discussed already.

Juve fans used to call him Tek, so should we

All Im saying is he's absolutely got a howler in him
On top of just generally being not all that

Better than Pena

Will be a joy to watch Im sure, what could go wrong

 

[ZenI]

We call him ‘bigos’ because he be cooking!

 

[Messigician]

❗️Szczesny: "It would be disrespectful to Barça if I didn't consider this opportunity..."

He’s already been spotted in Spain shopping

Early childhood for me, I remember more Busquets, the goalkeeper and how terrible he was. Zubi? Not so much.

Yesterday I had this thought about Barca GKs - stumbled upon a Porto era Mourinho video, anyone remember Vitor Baia used to play for Barca? Where does he rank?

 

[Barcaman]

Need to sack our goalkeeping coach too.
Lucho, Valverde, Koeman, Xavi, Flick.. Only je stays all the time and takes no blame.
