the truth about clean sheets

good point.

hart and city's "functionality" is all well and good buththey completely flopped really.

 

As per usual, I'll answer my own fricking question


In seven games, Brad Jones has gained two clean sheets

 

I thought this thread was going to be about Persil. I confess myself disappointed.

 

What the hell sort of language is that?


Oh, and welcome Erik

 

It was either Yoda or Lord Voldemort wot said it, guv'nor

 

It's a minor and vaguely interesting table and it's nice to see keepers get something - it's meant to be a bit like the golden boot.

Nothing to get annoyed at really!

 

The whole defence could be rewarded though. Like, give them virgins and wine or something.

Keepers should win something on shots/saves ratio after being in the top 5 of clean sheets. <ok.

 

Also a clean sheet in a game you've won 4-0 and faced only two shots is pretty worthless when compared to a clean sheet in a game you won 1-0 and faced 10-15 shots.

Tho' to be fair you could make the same argument about strikers - two goals in games your team won by a single goal are worth more than a hat trick when your team won by four or five. But let's not turn this into RVP vs Suarez, eh?
