Yeah, on the stats that I think are relevant for deciding the golden glove (keeping clean sheets) Pope wins out in nearly every category; I mean, he’s faced nearly twice as many shots as Eddie and still has a slightly better save percentage!
But in nearly every other measure I think is important for a modern keeper, Eddie wins out.
I am a little disappointed he hasn’t registered a single backward pass, though. :-(

2 through balls? That seems a little low to me.Yeah, on the stats that I think are relevant for deciding the golden glove (keeping clean sheets) Pope wins out in nearly every category; I mean, he’s faced nearly twice as many shots as Eddie and still has a slightly better save percentage!

Eddie 15 /34 = 44.11%. Pope 15/37 = 40.54%. Fair play to Pope though given what is has in front of him although at times Eddie has two defenders in front of him whereas Pope has 10. I don't expect Brighton to trouble Pope on Sunday so hopefully we keep a clean sheet as well

It does seem a little low to me, as well.
I think we need to jointly write a strongly worded letter to the Premier League and Stats Perform insisting that they re-review our league matches to ensure that statistic is accurate.

I think most know it will be shared if they finish level...
But that’s absolutely no reason not to have a good debate about who “deserves” outright. ;-)

There are more important stats there than clean sheets that should go towards winning the Golden Glove.I love Eddie, and think he is the best all-around keeper in the league (and in the top three in the world), but if it is a tie, and they *were* to give it to only one of them, I think it has to go to Pope with his stats this season, especially when you consider what’s in front of him.
He should be England’s number one.
Goalkeepers can do absolutely sod and keep a clean sheet. Clean sheets are more about a manager’s tactics, an entire XIs’ defending and the opposition’s finishing than it is a goalkeeper.
I think this award needs to change. Clean sheets being the only element going to this is like giving a striker the Golden Boot for his team scoring 4+ goals the most times, whether he scores or not.
