Alisson Becker, unquestionably one of the best goalkeepers in international football, shocked many Liverpool fans when he didn’t make the top 10 for the Ballon d’Or this year.
The 2023 Yashin Trophy, which recognizes the world’s top goalkeepers, is being competed for by the following players: “Mike Maignan, Yassine Bounou, Andre Onana, Ederson, Brice Samba, Emiliano Martinez, Thibaut Courtois, Aaron Ramsdale, Dominik Livakovic, and Marc-Andre ter Stergen.” Yesterday, this information became public (through L’Equipe).
The following information was made available on X by CF Comps in response: “Goals Prevented, Premier League 2022-23 Season, Alisson: 10.60, Kepa: 5.50, Ederson: -4.10′, Ramsdale: 1.54, and De Gea: -3.68.
The aforementioned data actually makes it ludicrous to claim that any player was better than our stopper, especially in light of the fact that both Ederson and Aaron Ramsdale were preferred above our number one last season.
It’s plausible to argue that Arsenal’s Premier League victory over us and Manchester City’s treble-winning season both deserve to be on this list for various reasons.
Few people would actually argue that the goalkeeper Pep Guardiola thinks belongs there, regardless of how many awards he has or how brilliantly he performed the previous year.
The former Bournemouth player in Mikel Arteta’s goal will find it challenging to argue that his campaign was superior to that of our Brazilian.
When you consider that Jordan Pickford is preferred above the 25-year-old for England and that he was exempt from participating in the Champions League, it is absurd that the 25-year-old is even seen as the superior option.
Based on the former Roma player’s fundamental statistics, which are published by premierleague.com, we can all agree that he has been severely mistreated. In 38 league appearances, he has preserved 14 clean sheets and has made two mistakes that led to goals.
