CallumG6 Posted Thursday at 10:12 Share Posted Thursday at 10:12 Don't watch Burnley but how much is down to the defence in that he hasn't conceded since Christmas? I know he saved them two pens against the mackems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think we can get caught up in buying the easy 'English' option. Team who wants Europe again so we not need to be more ambitious? Who he plays for is irrelevant. His ability is what we need to focus on. Should we not have signed Tino because he was at Southampton? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he saved them two pens against the mackems. Obviously a lot is down to team structure and how well they’ve defended. But to only concede 9 goals in 34 games shows any weaknesses he does have clearly aren’t as significant as some would make out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC91 Posted Thursday at 10:44 Share Posted Thursday at 10:44 My worry is that Burnley park the bus massively in an awful league so is that stat more on that or him who knows? meslier only conceded 20 which is still not a lot but he's awful. Hoping if we go for him he's a top keeper but we don't seem to do much business outside of England as of late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I trust the process 😂😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted Thursday at 11:42 Share Posted Thursday at 11:42 Every time we criticise a signing or a potential signing - Howe and co makes us eat humble pie. Obviously there being 1 or 2 exceptions. If they want Trafford - so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted Thursday at 12:39 Share Posted Thursday at 12:39 fbref do Champo stats. They reckon Trafford has saved 10 goals based on the quality of the shots he's faced. The stat is called "post-shot xG - GA". https://fbref.com/en/comps/10/Championship-Stats#all_leaders While this stat is based on actual shots, actual shots in the Prem will be hit with more venom. Bournemouth's keepers, Kepa and the backup, lead this stat in the Prem. Average distance from goal from shots taken against Burnley is 17.1, which is fairly average.

Tonalis Bookie Posted Thursday at 13:06 Share Posted Thursday at 13:06 What is also important to note is how well he could be organising that defence, something you would only know by being there. It may be a case that the defence and team as a whole is incredibly well drilled but what if that is down to the shouts coming from behind them. Teams tend to be much more solid when the defenders know they can rely on the goalkeeper and there is tremendous communication. This could be a key asset that isnt shown in any stats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the more reason to consult stats rather than watch their matches A goalie who does let anything in will also make the games even more dour.
