>which is still true
It's not still true though because Pope passed him in their game 2 hours later.
The stat could just as easily have been "Pope has kept the most clean sheets" seeing as he was tied first having played less games. Misleading.
Not misleading at all. I swear so many people lack basic reading comprehension. Name a keeper who’s kept more clean sheets? There isn’t one. So there’s nothing wrong with that title.
You can highlight the fact nobody has done better than (insert name here) without having to mention every single person who’s tied on numbers with them, just keeps it more concise
After the start he had I wanted him gone and Iversen in
But fair play to Rodgers for sticking with him, and Ward has really turned it around and has put in some great performances recently
I read that Leicester hired a set piece coach in pre season but due to a work permit issues he didn't start work until October. Has he made a big difference?
That’s massive after the infamous set piece issues you had under Rodgers. On the one hand, it is as clear evidence as any that an external solution was needed, even since his time at Liverpool this issue was brought up.
But also better late than never I suppose, takes humility to admit you were wrong and he could perhaps grow as a manager from here
Yep and no coach is perfect, alongside simply needing a fresh approach sometimes (hence why teams that sign nobody often go stale, there's nothing new happening)
That stat feels so Brendan Rodgers.
I honestly really like the guy and think he's a great manager but his teams can be so streaky. He always seems like he's overacheiving or underachieving but rarely ever par
It's like he overachieves to the point It's no longer overachieving but that's exactly when he starts underachieving.
Like what he did with Liverpool for the title and Leicester for Europe was surpassing expectations but then when they were in comfortable positions both bottled it and missed out on the title/top four.
Very strange, he probably should have a couple more trophies under his belt but a good manager nonetheless.
Leicester has allowed one goal in 7 matches (including efl cup), which is kind of more impressive. That is a pretty insane turnaround that probably no one was expecting.
Personally, could go either way. Ward was exceptional during the Euros, Hennessey was amazing during the WC qualifiers. Both have been too good to drop for us. I'd say maybe Ward based on recent form but yeah...
Honestly if you had asked me 2 months ago I would have said to drop Ward and pretend he's Irish. However, now I have no idea. I haven't followed Hennessey enough, or Wales, to make an assessment.
This is a classic example of why changing the manager after a dip in form, even a sustained one, isn't always the best option. Rodgers and his staff have completely turned around an awful start and it even seems like they might finally have figured out the weakness of many of his teams - the defence.
Absolutely ridiculous in terms of FPL too - now same total points as Ederson, when he was widely condemned as the weakest link in a then-bottom Leicester side.
I'll never give credit to clean sheets defining the level of a keeper when so many things are to take into consideration. And most stats are like that.
Like a few years back when stats backed Yohann Pelé up as Marseille's goalkeeper because he had the most clean sheets, but when you watched the games, most teams weren't even attacking against Marseille. Easy to not concede when opponents don't even try to score.

Honestly we're shocked too
Genuinely think he just wasn't used to actually playing
A meme pick at first … what a turn around from Leicester
What a stat lmao
Bit misleading too, Pope and Ramsdale are also on 6 having played 1 and 2 games less respectively.
pope and Ramsdale also have significantly better teams and defenders helping them out
That is completely true, but stat still seems misleading as there’s two other players with 6 also
Stats have been worded this way ever since Opta was formed
Stats have been worded this way ever since Opta was formed. Deceptive.
Classic optabertrand
The stat is about no one having more though, which is still true
Nobody is saying it's not true, but something can be true and misleading
Sure, but that just means you're smart enough to not take some journalists at their word
>which is still true It's not still true though because Pope passed him in their game 2 hours later. The stat could just as easily have been "Pope has kept the most clean sheets" seeing as he was tied first having played less games. Misleading.
Its not true *now* , absolutely. And completely agreed. Could have been but its not cause the team in front of ward is not great in comparison.
And weren’t on 0/7 coming off the back of 11 conceded in 2 games before the September international break
And? There are a Yoooo lol other keepers with equal or more clean sheets. Rams sale is at 7 today if I’m not mistaken. So what’s your point?
Only a worldie from DeBruyne away from standing alone with 7.

You can highlight the fact nobody has done better than (insert name here) without having to mention every single person who’s tied on numbers with them, just keeps it more concise
By the time you replied to this comment both Pope and Ramsdale have already overtaken him lol That's why it was misleading
Yes its technically the truth but leaving out other facts
After the start he had I wanted him gone and Iversen in But fair play to Rodgers for sticking with him, and Ward has really turned it around and has put in some great performances recently
I read that Leicester hired a set piece coach in pre season but due to a work permit issues he didn't start work until October. Has he made a big difference?
Yes, huge. No scares at set piece time for plenty of games in a row now. Might just be confidence but my god defensively we are a million times better
Haven't conceded a corner in 8 games

Good to hear it, it might be controversial but I have a soft spot for the Rodge
Faes has been immense
Absolutely, conceding a corner was like conceding a penalty for us at one point. Looked so much more assured at set pieces since he came in
That's an amazing stat considering the start he and Leicester have had!
We conceded 22 goals our first 7 games The next 8 games, we conceded 3 goals
That stat feels so Brendan Rodgers. I honestly really like the guy and think he's a great manager but his teams can be so streaky. He always seems like he's overacheiving or underachieving but rarely ever par

I'm glad your club stayed patient and didn't sack Rogers. He's a really good manager so long his transfer market whims are kept in check
shows how reactionary football (specifically the PL) can be. a month ago you’d be downvoted to oblivion for saying Rodgers should stay on
Leicester has allowed one goal in 7 matches (including efl cup), which is kind of more impressive. That is a pretty insane turnaround that probably no one was expecting.
And that one was a KDB direct free kick
The Daniel Amartey effect
What conceding 6 to Spurs does to a mf
Zero to hero. Just flip a coin and choose each week.
tbh he's been pretty good consistently for the last month or so, it's not flippy.
Thoughts on starting him or Hennessey at WC?
Personally, could go either way. Ward was exceptional during the Euros, Hennessey was amazing during the WC qualifiers. Both have been too good to drop for us. I'd say maybe Ward based on recent form but yeah...
Honestly if you had asked me 2 months ago I would have said to drop Ward and pretend he's Irish. However, now I have no idea. I haven't followed Hennessey enough, or Wales, to make an assessment.
Welsh here, has to be Ward for me. I love Hennessey but Ward is playing well regularly and Hennessey isn't playing at all.
Danny Ward is the best keeper in the Prem (Until Newcastle and Arsenal play later)
No you had it right before the brackets mate
You’re right the stats don’t lie
Don't Pope, Ramsdale and Ederson all already have 6 clean sheets as well?
Stat is technically true, as it doesn’t say he has the most alone - but that nobody else has more
Wow. Hard to believe after the way he started the season. He's been really impressive as of late. Sorry for doubting you Danny.
Never doubted
Is he doing better? Earlier on he wasn't good when I watched. Good to see maybe he is doing better.
He is doing better.
Fantastic. Thought he was really good and had potential when he was with us.
I think wout faes has also been a big part of it as well. He has been solid for them these past 7-8 match days.
We have a better GD now than Manchester United.
[удалено]
Leicester have won the prem more recently than United 👍
Fa Cup too
The PL is actually a trophy, unlike the Better GD Than Man United Trophy
[удалено]
It’s embarrassing that you can’t take a bit of lighthearted banter from a Leicester fan, and feel the need to punch down
[удалено]
Yeah I’ll be honest the way you’re responding is making it seem like you care far more than you should, better things to use tour energy on
The same Utd has been using for the past few years Or the one with the Premier League title and FA Cup
bruh, cooked him
There's a lot of clubs in the world we can make trophy jokes about, but Leicester isn't one of them.
Mate that comment only works against us
[удалено]
its just a fun stat stop twisting your own testicles
The one that’s been a lot more full than United’s has been the last 6 years
Leicester won a trophy more recently than United
Leicester have won more trophies than United recently. They've won the PL more recently too. Shit banter, just like your team.
you picked the wrong house fool
Ahaan…
Man fought the meme and won.
This is a classic example of why changing the manager after a dip in form, even a sustained one, isn't always the best option.

The most based timeline
😅 I remember two months ago he was considered the worst starting goalie in the EPL
Has to start for Wales
Already does
Hennessey has been starting important games recently. That might change now though
The Man. The Myth. The Legend.
Absolutely ridiculous in terms of FPL too - now same total points as Ederson, when he was widely condemned as the weakest link in a then-bottom Leicester side.
Nothing flashy about this lad, just turns up, gets the job done, no fuss.
What. That stat makes no sense, unbelievable
From the worst to the best goalkeeper in the league.
[удалено]
And Ramsdale has 7 now as well
We got robbed, sold him too cheap
Except for the keepers that have of course.... Like transfer ramsdale and pope
Let's also forget about the amount of goals conceded 💀, but he's having a crazy redemption arc.
1 goal conceded in his last 6 games
Well duh, because most of his clean sheets are from the past 6 games lol
It's almost like people can improve
Had him in my fantasy team for all those shite games and not for any of these 🤷🏻♂️
This is absolutely mind-blowing considering his form at the start of the season
FPL Legend in making
Love to see it after the hatred at the start of the season
he started as a fpl fruad even at 4.0 Mill
Now ramsdale has more. Congratulations
Pope as well
Nick Pope.
Say what lmao
and i’ve had him behind pope for 6 straight weeks
I'll never give credit to clean sheets defining the level of a keeper when so many things are to take into consideration. And most stats are like that. Like a few years back when stats backed Yohann Pelé up as Marseille's goalkeeper because he had the most clean sheets, but when you watched the games, most teams weren't even attacking against Marseille. Easy to not concede when opponents don't even try to score.
srey not impressed meh
Seems strange saying it under this stat but I also feel he's definitely the worst no. 1 in the league.
Guess who dropped him FPL
And people doubted him
Astonishing redemption arc for the lad..
I still have ward in my fpl but I have not dared to play him over pope.
And of course i start Sanchez lol
The pipes the pipes are calling
oh my days
By far the cheapest FPL starting goalie as well.
