Wolves v Sunderland 02/05 - Build up and match thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't fully share your overall view on Sa. He will land in the "meh" list of players but...

I have seen many a shit keeper play for us and many a dreadful performance but I doubt i will see anyone come close to Sa's non performance v Brighton in the Cup under GoN. He was in full on strop mode that he had missed out on a move (amazingly Chelsea tried for him) and what he did that evening should have been worthy of a contract cancellation.

That was the nadir but there's so much random crap.

Look at this positioning from a supposed top flight keeper. Not like he doesn't have time to get back either. He just aimlessly wanders around. Does it all the time. There was an even worse example in one of his very early games under Lage vs Brentford and they somehow only hit the bar, it was like he'd been on the Guinness pre-match.

Will not miss going into every single game not having a clue what our keeper's going to do, could be 9/10, could be 1/10, who knows. Or the endless penalties conceded because he just clatters into opponents (he's in the top 10 conceded of all time in the Premier League, that's all players, including defenders who've played 500+ games, not just keepers).

He must be close to the top of the list of lowest % penalty saves too I would think?

Saved one with a broken hand once.

In Greece he had a strong record but then came here and went on a run of conceding them all. Then seemed to save a decent % after that.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's saved four for us:

Mitrovic vs Fulham under Lage (at this point he'd gone his entire first season saving 0)
Johnson vs Forest under Davis
Son vs Spurs under Pereira
Vardy vs Leicester under Pereira (now also over a year ago, so he's gone a year without saving one)

Conceded 26

Giving him a save percentage of 13%

 

[Kenny]

Absolutely no idea if 13% is good....so will say its shit and move on

Data from last January (measured over 5 years) but we can say 13% is shit

 

[Kenny]

Or ask AI...

 

[Kenny]

But, they agree its shit

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Serie A appears to be full of our 2004-2005 squad for taking them (minus Kev Cooper)

 

[Kenny]

Also Olympiacos fans are full of shit like the owner



New Summary: He is shit. Leave ASAP.
