He looks like he has the potential to be special. But if he does 2/3 of what he does for Benfica statistically for us next season, he'd have a season as good as Joe's best here.
In a way, I think his current stats is simply a purple patch. He wouldn't need to be this good to eclipse the best we've seen here. So its a bit strange that folks are underrating him.
I did a statistical comparison toDr Gea, Beyer, Buffon and Oblak. 4 top keepers in the top 4 leagues and he frankly what on them all statistically. Often there was a greater gab btw him at 1st to 2nd than there was btw 2nd and 5th.
He was first or 2nd in almost every category.
Sure he plays in the Portuguese league
"WAS" and " for us" being the operative words there. But what you claimed was that Joe was better than Ederson at everything else. Suggesting you were actually comparing their performances.
It seems you are not doing that. You are just hoping Joe is better coz you once for he was great when he played for us and you haven't seen much of that Ederson fella.
Fair enough. I'm just saying based on stats, it is unlikely Joe is better at anything.
Also, in doing your Benfica vs Toronto whitewashing, you ignore the most important stats:
1 that this kid at 23 was making significantly fewer individual errors than a 30 year old Joe. And even more importantly that he averages 4.5 saves for every goal. Joe is averaging 1.6 saves.
Those 2 stats are a lot more about the players than they are about other factors. But like I said, your were just hoping Joe was better at everything else, so its cool.
im comparing his performance for us. in our team. I'm not going to compare him now when hes in a poor torino team who dont have a very good defence. if ederson was in torinos teams i think he would have similar stats. I'm not hoping hes better. i just think hes better based on what i saw when he played for us, i dont see the problem in doing that tbh. benfica dominate games and barely concede any goals, i think it is hard to compare tbh, especially considering the teams they now play for.
