Joe Hart won four, Reina won three, Cech won three long after his head injury, Ederson has won two despite being fairly average in terms of making saves. Of course it's a stat that is heavily influenced by the team as a whole.
I’m guessing he means the unpredictability

Last season we scored almost 14 goals under xg. Definitely scoring is the major problem, not creativity. But I don't disagree 100%. We need some creativity also. Not sure Mount and Onana would be enough.
If you watch those highlights, most of the unpredictable stuff comes from his younger days. Some seem even to be when he was at the Ajax Academy. A lot of it is also him being composed in the penalty area and giving himself better options for passing. Alisson, Ederson and a few other ball-playing keepers always do those kinds of moves.
Oh yeah I get it, but for many it’s also gonna be heart attack inducing to watch

Obviously it's a team stat as keeping clean sheets relies heavily on the defensive unit of the team
We just bought a quite creative midfielder in Mount and surely will buy a striker anyway. So there's an attempt to address those two issues. I really think Mount alone will help a lot with his clever runs in the channels, his good technical and shooting skills.
Tbf DDG's goalkeeping isn't unique -- it's just antiquated.
I disagree, you didn't see Big Pete and VDS glued to their line... Schmeichel was very good coming off his line and sweeping up when needed.
Let’s not do that.That’s a bit harsh based on one video. We’ve seen him play high profile games where he hasn’t made any mistakes, as long as he has a passing options he’s not going to dwell on the ball and there will be the odd time where he gets caught out but he’ll learn from it.
From what I was able to ascertain from the 240p quality, half of these aren’t even mistakes, and most of these clips are from the Eredivisie where he (and the rest of the team) could afford to piss about against the Go Ahead Eagles of the world. You only have to look at how he’s doing for Inter to see he’s a pretty good goalkeeper who massively adorns the style of football our manager wants to play.
Plus an extra £100m if he wins the AFCON.
Based on?
Hmm. We said this about other players to you and you didn’t give a shit.
Like who?
De Gea would have been physically destroyed during most of Fergie's era. Opposition teams would have been bullying him all game long, and his weakness to crosses would have been targeted even more. And it's not like sweeping is a new development - Schmeichel and VDS, despite playing in those eras where it wasn't as big a deal, still acted as a sweeper more often than De Gea does.
All I can give is my opinion and that is the way I see it.
I think the answer was definitely yes, but like with Ronaldo (or at least the attempt to), it would have been gradually. I think he would have been happy with De Gea sticking around as a no.2 for a year or so playing fewer minutes but sticking around as one of the senior figures in the squad.
Pep and Ten Hag rating players that you don’t rate is what I mean.
Pep was speaking very highly of Harry before we bought him but no one here seems to recognise that.
The English press has mentioned it. More than once too.
Composure? Looked a nervous wreck in the 5-10 big games I’ve seen him in.
To classify some of those goals from the 6 yard box where the attacker was completely free is comical.
Cue the panic when he comes out of retirement and Cameroon make the final
True about coming off their lines to collect crosses. But they dont really leave the pen box as much as Onana or Barthez for sure.
You could easily say the same for the top goalscorer,
Don't agree with this at all. We have decent forwards but a large problem is our build up and how we constantly get countered from his distribution. Onana will help immeasurably with that. Hard to settle possession when your keeper keeps giving the ball to the opposition at every kick out/clearance. Reckon Onana will have a few clangers with his relatively risky approach but he'll be a net positive with his ball retention, proactivity when sweeping and at set pieces coming for crosses etc. One reason I'd have loved Diogo Costa was how bloody good he is at penos which would be great for cups and Europe in particular where Dave has been a total failure. Not sure what Onana's record is like but he just can't be as bad as De Gea in high stake penalty situations.
