Today we look at 5 key areas of goalkeeping data to analyse whether Kasper Schmeichel is an upgrade on Joe Hart.
The two keepers are great friends off-the-pitch and both started their careers at Manchester City. But who fares better in these areas; shot-stopping, distribution, crosses, sweeping & penalties. Find out here!

Joe is a legend and kasper will be too
Hail Hill the Celtic 📢🇮🇳🫶🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🥳😃👍👌
Regarding punching the Ball that seem to be a continent thing goalies punched the Ball when it was easier to catch it
The primary reason Celtic goalkeepers get criticised for their inability to save penalties, is because all of our rivals seem to have less problems doing so vs us.
If we were converting our penalties to an acceptable rate, we wouldn’t care about it.
I loved how Hart. As long as kasper commands his box he,ll do for me 🍀🍀🍀
If I was manager and I had Joe and kasper on the squad, JOE would be my #2
Great video.
–> 6:07 That's a great insight that we should all take to heart.
–> Based on watching them, it seems to me that KS exudes confidence more than Hart did. Joe is confident, but quietly confident. Given that the anchor of the backline, CCV, seems to be a more quietly confident type, I'd say having a more charismatic leader in the back is a good thing.
–> Please keep doing these key stats.
when we got Joe, he wasn't even the third choice keeper at Spurs, when we got Kasper he was captain for Denmark at the Euro's ,nuff said, Hail Hail
HH🍀
Great Video again Paul, Hopefully we sign New Players so you can do more videos like this
Really detailed video Paul, and good to see, but if Kasper can come in and have the same or a similar affect as Hart then he'll be a great addition to the back line 🙌🍀
Good insight math a little of at 1 point haha still respect a lot of work has went in to this !!!
Celtic defend at the half way line, it's difficult to compare.
Great video. I think Kasper’s top traits will be experience and leadership but watching the Euros, he definitely looks an upgrade. The short pass stat is kinda useless for goalies and defenders, should be a stat for times theyre involved beating the press. Hail Hail 🍀
Doesn't matter if he is an upgrade to be honest as Joe was a winner despite his issues and Kasper will do really well.
i have to quibble about this analysis,
to me the most relevant measure of goal keeper shot stopping , is post shot xg save percentage for shots on target , that is for all shots on target and accounting for degree of difficulty, what was the save percentage,
here the career picture is murky re schmeichel v hart . schmeichel is at .27 which puts him in the bottom quarter of global averages for this metric for keepers, and hart is at .31 which puts him in the top 25% of keeper global averages ,
this roughly translates into a 3 goal advantage to hart in a season, and if its a tight league race that could make a difference in terms of points dropped ,
these are all fine margins , but they could count
the other issue with schmeichel is his height. joe hart and celtic have had their issues with controlling what goes on aerially in the 6 yard box , and he is 6,5 , schmeichel is 6,2 , so not much taller than bain, so life could get very interesting for celtic in the 6 yard box especially with set pieces this season.
what schmeichel does bring to the table is loads of experience , and celtic need that in spades,
i think the jury is out on whether schmeichel is an upgrade on hart, but im betting he wont be
Even tho Hart is taller I think you will see Kasper is much more aggressive at coming for crosses and that was a huge weakness for Hart especially during his time at Celtic.
Good analytics. 🍀
As an Ice Hockey Goalie Coach, this is something I’m interested in and how it correlates to the advanced stats we used.
Top video but should have had Sinisalo too just for a comparison
Excellent video, thanks 👍🏽
Hart was either worst or second worst of 32 champions league goalies both years by post shot xg diff. It isnt a big task to upgrade on that
Very good video.Sure to stimulate plenty of debate.
Hopefully you have a few more of these videos to do mate with a few more signings 😩🤔🫣🇮🇪🏴
Hard to say till we see Kasper play ye know 😊 big Barkas had great stats before signing
Well done enjoyed this
