Wojciech Szczęsny (42 Viewers)

On the balance of play, he has won far more points for us than lost them.

fbref posts this opta stat called post-shot expected goals minus goals allowed per 90 minutes, which is probably the closest data point we have to what you're suggesting. Woj is positive at 0.02. Last season 0.00. That suggests the balance of play regarding Woj is normal, in line with the average goalie. Of course stats are stats and not the ultimate truth

I find those stats fairly useless.
The eye test on the other hand never lies.

I appreciate this post because it must have been tough for you to praise such an uggo!

On a serious note, he's one of the best goalkeepers of the last decade in my opinion. His forte is that he maintained great performance throughout those years opposed to more praised goalies like Neuer, De Gea, Oblak, Lloris who's had 1-3 beast season only to turn mediocre soon after. His looks doesn't help his case either lol

And it came out of nowhere too.

He wasn’t particularly impressive at Arsenal, was good for Roma, but reached another level with us imo.

The fact that he has come back from multiple blunders is a testament to his mentality. Others, like De Gea for example, just crumbled and were never the same.

Probably his mentality, he seems like a super laid back guy, sometimes to a fault.

I wish Tek positioned himself a bit better by stepping forward a few steps so he could save Empoli equalizer.

I probably need to rewatch the goal, but from the replay I saw right after the goal, it did look like he was unsighted because of three players in his line of sight. By the time he sees the ball it’s too late. Locatelli was lazy and didn’t cover what should have been a routine stop.

 

[Lion]

players should have neveer allowed a shot from that range like that.

if not for him the team would have lost this match. he is best keeper in serie a

He seemed to be so close to the line. Buffon used to be 1-2 steps forward and to me that's subtle but make a difference.

Loca cant block the shoot but it doesnt mean the goal was his fault. Baldanzi is running with the ball and he followed it. Tek also hold his stand and doesnt try to block the shoot. It seems reachable if he stretch his arm and fall down. But agree it might players block his sight


It might not the same exact situation in Newcastle - Fulham match. but its a bit similar. At 5:00-5:10, there is Robinson (Fulham) shoot. Shoot also low and goes to the left off GK, 2 players try to block but cant block it and yet the ball go on target. In this time Dubravka can get it although there also some players in front of him

 

[U Picciriddu]

Horrible work. How many times this mofo lets us down is unbelievable, he’s a ticking time bomb for the next mistake.

 

[MrMonkey]

Is it true this guy already told Juve he won't resign after 2025? Either he's honest or stupid or both. Perin IMO isn't that much if any of a downgrade. Either demand he leaves this summer or bench him next season. See how much money he gets after not playing the entire year.

 

[Rockets]

Would have lost 0-3 If it wasn't for him.

 

[Lion]

Would have lost 0-3 If it wasn't for him.

And a lot more games too this season . Almost every game that go shed 1-0 or 2-1 he had pull important saves

by far the most important player of this team

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Yeah. He’s the LEAST of our problems but has become an easy scapegoat for this teams failings. Criminally underrated.

 

[MrMonkey]

Would have lost 0-3 If it wasn't for him.

So true but who cares, a loss is a loss. Start playing Perin every match and see how quickly he wants to leave in the summer.

 

[Boksic]

His save on Barella was top class. Like the sort of exercise keepers do in training to run across the goal and make a save.

 

[Boksic]

Some of the goals he concedes are so weak.

 

[Rockets]

This is a typical Woj thing.

A run of good games with a couple of big saves that secured the team 3 points. Then brainfart is bound to happen, like beaten at near post or fail to claim crosses that he should have due to poor command of the box.

That said, he is not our biggest problem. Being an above average goalkeeper throughout his career, he is doing a better job than 90% of the rest of the squad.

Go to news now.co.uk for all Euro soccer articles and see Di Gregorio available though Inter was his youth club. Signed till 2027 and cheap .... though he would need to give him a bump in pay. Let go of this inconsistent, chain-smoking guy.

Just think if we got Donna at his enormous salary. Would have given management even less money to spend. Best we could have hoped for was plenty of 0-0 draws with this lackluster offensive group.

Whatever issues exist with a Del Piero or Buffon, dropped them and get them on board for at least player acquisitions relations.
