Match Day Tottenham v Chelsea, Sunday 20th August 16:00

[Blitzballer]

Really fucked off with Spurs. Only c*** to let my 10quid - 243quid acca down

 

[Pagnell]

Where did you get the stat?
Lloris has the best saves % (76.5) in the league last season. He also has the longest average minutes between goals in the league (125).

His imagination. I blame the Dalwhinnie.

 

[Stevencc]

The most St. Justesque post ever.

The failure to back down from a ridiculously ill-conceived opinion with about as much merit as a dollop of shite must be a Scottish trait.

 

[SALTIRE]

His imagination. I blame the Dalwhinnie.

From an article in ThisIsAnfield in late April :

'The numbers show that Mignolet is not the defensive calamity we sometimes believe.

Amongst the group of ‘elite’ ‘keepers named above, Mignolet has the lowest average number of Premier league games per defensive error, at one every 24 games.

Chelsea’s Courtois is nipping at Mignolet’s heels with a rate of 16 games per error, with De Gea clocking in with one every 15.5 and Lloris suffering from an exponentially worse 4.8 per error.

Lloris, Tottenham and France’s starting goalkeeper, is thus five times more likely to endanger his team than Mignolet.'

[Mr. Scruff]

And people say he's better than Mignolet...

They're both shit

This Is Anfield appears to have pandered to his confirmation bias.

"If they make more noise it would be better for them but in the first half, if you have to put some noise over the speakers to make some atmosphere, I don't think it is working very well."

Courtois on the atmosphere at Wembley.

Missed off the data that shows Lloris as top in average saves per game and distribution success rate.

Missed off the data that shows Lloris as top in average saves per game and distribution success rate.

But if you're making defensive errors every 5 games does that matter as it undoes the good work.

 

[G.B]

Who decides what constitutes an error? Like, I doubt this goal direct from a freekick is counted as a goalkeeping error on the old stats board..

...despite being fucking hilarious incompetence on Mignolet's part.

If you're the only one arguing for something then you're probably wrong Salty mate. Even your fellow fans have come to the realisation that he's shit, and it took these people 6 years to concede Glen Johnson was shit, so Mignolet must be really shit.

 

[SALTIRE]

Not a mistake when no keeper would've saved that anyway gibby. Also he saved a pen the same game too mate earning us a point.

 

[SALTIRE]

Tottenham sign a new keeper then. They had enough of Lloris fuck ups?

 

[Stevencc]

If Saltire accidentally told you that two and two equalled six he'd argue it as fact until the day he died.

 

[JimJams]

He'd use Tescos 3 for 2 deals to worm his way through it.

 

[HtfcWArrior]

Jonas lössl is probs better than mignolet

Any keeper not walking away from his goal as the kick is taken would have saved that Salty mate.

Disagree mate, but it didn't matter anyway in the context of the match.

 

[G.B]

Well it did, as you said you drew the game. If he doesn't walk away from the exact area the ball ended up to go wave his arms at someone while not looking at the ball or the taker then you win.

 

[SALTIRE]

Na he kept us in it tbh, Chelsea were the better side in the match so it was a good point.
