I don't think your three attempts got close, because you're answering a question not being asked.
If the question was how is a birraz v bk comparison I free kicks goals conceeded relevant to who should be our first choice, I'll take your explanation.
But the question was how is a comparison between birraz and bk freekick conceding stats relevant to BK's positioning at free kicks? There are far to many variables over the course of 2 and 1/2 seasons and within each situation, to suggest it's an indicator of poor positioning alone. You can't simplify things so much.
When the next free kick happens, if bk is in the right spot, or the wrong spot, this has nothing to do with birraz, or whether he's conceeded more or less than him.
This was the context that MFAW brought the stats up in, what he asked, what you deflected from (or misinterpreted?) , and what I'm answering.
No one from what I've seen has attempted to compare the positioning of BK vs Biraz, or anything like that. We're talking about the amount of goals conceded from the type of free kicks that kickstarted this entire thread. We use the statz to get the indication to how common the issue is, to figure out how much of an issue it'll be in the future.
I have zero idea why/how you took it out of context.

Does this indicate anything about BK's ability?
There was no mention of birraz till the good member raised his stats.
This discussion at the time was about keeper positioning, not who should be first choice, it's in this context that the members stats were put forward.
My argument re these stats hasn't changed, 1. that they are too simplified an analysis to have any meaning in the context of the discussion in which they were raised, and that a comparison of two keepers "goals conceded" isn't relevant to the ability of either keeper.
No deflecting. Actually trying to keep the discussion on topic, which was bk and freekicks,
Yeah... nah. MFAW posted his memory stats without quoting anyone about it, said solely that they were damning stats for BK, and even went to the lengths afterwards to pose the question on whether the indicated Biraz was better at freekicks of BK just had bad luck facing up against good kicks. Anyway, we've done this thing to death.
Interesting to read that you think goals conceded is not a relevant indication to the ability of a keeper - I tend to think it goes some length to helping us understand it, particularly if you want to use it in the context of two keepers in the same league, in the same team, against roughly the same level of opposition. I'll think about this one further. I don't think you can just disregard goals conceded when considering the ability of a keeper, like you've said.
Then just say 4 goals in bugger all appearances is damning, not that 4 when compared to birraz is damning.
Why not?
Because if you want to simply compare the outcome, (a goal) it's not an accurate measure as there are countless variables that contribute to it other than just keeper ability.
I'm not advocating a disregard of the goals against column, I'm advocating a far greater depth of analysis is needed.
What a **** thread, can't be bothered reading back as I full know what the context will be.
