You were trying to downplay the role that keeping clean sheets play in acquiring wins. I just showed that it's bullshit and clean sheets definitely play a huge role in getting good results consistently (should be pretty self-explanatory but I guess not). I don't really care how those clean...

Don't think anyone has claimed that our sole goal should be to keep clean sheets but it's obvious that it's much easier to consistently score that 1 goal more than your opponent when you don't concede in every single game. Just look at last seasons Premier league champions City for example...

Have you ever sprinted? For a human sprinting 100m full on is hard let alone sprinting for 90 minutes straight.

Dunno. Allegri tried Berna there in pre-season but I'm not fully convinced of that idea yet.
