...to know the answer to this question and too idle to look it up. Plus, some nasty twat has upset @moreinjuredthanowen and the board is too quiet without him so I thought I'd give us something else to have a meaningless argument over. Where was I...? Oh yes: If we'd kept a clean sheet against the Canneries, would it be attributed to Alisson, Adrian, both, or neither when the golden glove thingy is totted up? I'm sure some #footballgenius who has #readtherules will let me know.
I don't know but I'd guess they'd both gain a clean sheet. My question would be; does Alisson get a clean sheet since he didn't concede?
I couldn't find a rule, though I found two examples posted to the same question on Quora. One cited a Bundesliga game in which the keeper who went off had kept a clean sheet and it was awarded, while the sub keeper leaked two goals, so didn't get anything. In that situation, it appears it only matters what happens while you're on the pitch. However, in an Arsenal-Everton fixture where Cech was waiting for his 100th clean sheet, Everton scored then Cech was replaced by Ospina, who didn't leak a goal but didn't get a clean sheet awarded. The poster claims the commentator of the game cited the rule which said only playing an entire game counts. So it's Germany 1 England nil. Again.
That would certainly bring consistency across EUFA leagues and we would no longer have to suffer the interminable post-match whines of managers and pundits alike that, "All we want is consistency."
