Cornish Steve Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Mignolet is statistically the best goalkeeper in the EPL. That's quite revealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamryanstover Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Nice find. I dont know where Sorg would play for us. We are very good at fullback unless we sell one, but I would love for Ron-Robert Zeiler to be our next keeper. Zeiler is also homegrown having done his youth football for ManU.

MikeO Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 What are the stats based on? 'The rankings evaluate a player’s performance on skills relevant to their positions such as tackling, passing and shooting. Bill Squadron, President of Bloomberg Sports said: “We continue to look at new ways to use analytics that will be interesting to fans, and are pleased today to unveil what we believe will be a game-changer in the way professional football is looked at in the future with the Power Football 50." “Analytics is becoming more and more prevalent in both the minds of the fans and in the decision-making power of the clubs, and we are confident this index will help both stir healthy debate and be a great measuring stick for player evaluation going forward.”' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you went blow raspberry and all that. Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Tottenham etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Maybe the only club in blue? or the only club on Merseyside? Interestingly, ManC have only one name on the list, number 42 at that. Money may be important, but it's not everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenosetoffee Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 big surprise? I do like Mignolet but in my opinion I think by the end of the season that De Gea and even Jaaskelainen were the better goal keepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
