Opposition Goalkeepers: Do they 'up their game' against United?

We just have to improve our finishing. Ex. Lingard today.

In almost every match recently if we had better finishing, we could have gotten the goal.

Yes, I think so. I'd imagine being a footballer who is not a man utd fan you'd have a fuck you attitude to the crowd and try to deny them the chance to celebrate.. Like with Valdes, he was doing so well then his concentration lapsed and he conceded 2 in 2 minutes. But I don't think it's something statistics can prove and you'd have to ask the goalkeepers themselves.

Good job with compiling this by the way, probably took quite some time!

So I'd say no... When the difference is a .04 difference like Randolph, or a .13 like Pickford, that's not really conclusive.

Heaton is the only real stand out here, man that was a frustrating game.

I think in the matches against Stoke and Burnley, it was more of case of bad finishing rather than the keepers going super saiyan.

Lot of missed chances by Ibra and a few by Pogba and others. Ibra is back to his usual but I think that Pogba needs to work on his finishing. There are many chances that he gets and it is great that he is able to get into those positions to shoot but if he improves his finishing abilities, I am sure that he can score 10-15 goals a season in the league alone, maybe more.

It's entirely possible that they are rated based on the opposition, i.e., if they are playing a top squad and don't concede, are they rated differently than if they'd played a relegation candidate and didn't concede? I think that bias is possible.

Another reason could be that they are more active against higher placed teams, having more opportunities to shine, rather than playing a low placed team who don't get any shots in.

I cannot believe that Karius and Bravo are starters for title contending teams. Two absolute clowns in goal.
