BK and Free Kicks

[GazFish35]

We're discussing "BK and Free Kicks". The stats comparing BK and Biraz are worthy of noting because it shows that BK deals with the free kicks he faced, in less game time, worse than the free kicks Biraz faced, in more game time. Like I said before, it is looking at the past, present and future to sort our keeper issue in general. This thread isn't confined to talking solely about BK's positioning and explosive movement.

The stats don't have to be all-telling but they're a handy, somewhat-relevant, and existent indication.

Whether these stats are based from memory or not, we all know that BK has conceded at least 4 and Biraz at least 1 (how appropriate that 1 is to this argument, I still argue as I said yesterday it was more of a hilarious accident more than an indication in how he deals with free kicks of the nature we're referring to) free kick. Both players may have conceded more but that doesn't change we know at least the minimum, and the minimum is telling enough as is. If you're so worked up about it, find the legitimate stats for yourself. Otherwise the majority of us are happy to take these and make judgements from it. Just remember we have guys on this forum who answer Jeterpool's trivia questions weekly from memories. People can remember random goals from Heskey, random Friday night wins v Heart, and all this other stuff. If Biraz conceded more free kick goals, I'm confident someone would have said "didn't Broxham score that free kick in S7R18" or whatever.

So if my memory says birraz only ever faced one, and bk faced 18, we can take it as fact.

This stats argument isn't about a bk v birraz debate. I'm defending all keepers, there's way too many variables in any freekick to simplify it so much.

The fact that people are ready to ignore birraz' Bosnar brainsnap is shows this.
If all the variables arent going to be considered in each case, this one can't be written off either. The way you dismiss the Goodwin freekick past janjetavic as "nearly a corner" is another example of too many variables to simplify multiple seasons on simply the result.

If we do this, let's just look at goals against and decide the best keeper in the world in 1993 was me as I only conceeded 2 goals in 26 games. It's not accurate analysis and cheapens the work keepers do.
