Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads [The Athletic] Cross Drop Rates Among PL GKs by spongecock23 Manchester united Manchester United FC Manchester United Football Club
spongecock23 on April 10, 2026 12:29 pm Lammens is much more aggressive and commanding in his box as compared to many of the GKs below him so this stat is a bit misleading in that regard. It’s still an impressive stat though all things considered.
OptiPath on April 10, 2026 12:36 pm Interesting stat but this stat alone does not tell the whole story If you don’t come out to claim crosses, you will never drop them 
Left-Measurement-608 on April 10, 2026 12:40 pm De Gea would have had a 0 as well! This stat is incomplete as long as they don’t include the number of crosses attempted to be claimed by the GK.
fad_200 on April 10, 2026 12:48 pm Well how many times does a GK come and try and collect the ball? Example David de gea never tried to come and catch a ball so he’d also show as 0!
FreshGoodWay on April 10, 2026 1:47 pm So you’re saying, we ought barge into Arsenal’s GK during corners, and wrestle with him?
