#DeGea showing how to deal with a long range 1v1!
He initially stays deep & therefore doesn’t gift an easy chip/sidefoot finish by maximising his reaction time!
But once #Antonio takes the additional touch #DDG rushes out quickly & forms the block & snuffs out the shot!

If #DeGea had rushed out to engage this touch he would’ve turned a 38% goal probability chance into a 61% goal probability chance as MA could’ve easily rounded him or chipped him!
By waiting he dictated the 1v1 to MA & made him make a decision, MA chose to take another touch…

THREAD:
How important is a goalkeeper’s ability to prevent shots?
Is it of comparable importance to shot stopping ability?
In this thread I will investigate these questions & outline my ExG prevented model using #Alisson as an example.

Every action a GK performs can be separated into 3 categories:
Save-> here the GK attempts to block the ball going into the goal
Distribution-> here the GK attempts to play the ball to a teammate
Interception-> here the GK attempts to stop the ball from reaching an opponent
Save-> here the GK attempts to block the ball going into the goal
Distribution-> here the GK attempts to play the ball to a teammate
Interception-> here the GK attempts to stop the ball from reaching an opponent
Evaluating GK intercepting from public data is difficult as most stats providers split intercepting actions between recoveries, tackles, interceptions, punches, & claims, & the differences between the categories are unclear & not relevant to interception difficulty/importance.

Michail #Antonio – should we have seen it coming?
The 30-year-old striker hit four against Norwich, and four for *any* player is always a bit of a fluke. Antonio's got great skill in duels, but he's had a pretty average season in most of our key ratings.

Where Michail Antonio has *not* been average is in his involvement in West Ham's best attacks. He's been part of 1/2 the moves leading to shots, but 2/3 of the expected goals and 3/4 of the actual goals while playing striker. He's a difference-maker who gets returns.

Taking a look at Michail Antonio's shot map, we can see that before today his goals at striker came from a very small area in front of the GK's right post, and he was active there again today, albeit not always in the most conventional way! Something to look out for.
