DEFINITIONS
A successful interception attempt is any clean catch or any punch which clears the danger.
An unsuccessful interception attempt is a punch which fails to clear danger or when the GK completely misses the ball.
A claimable corner is defined using the diagram below:
A successful interception attempt is any clean catch or any punch which clears the danger.
An unsuccessful interception attempt is a punch which fails to clear danger or when the GK completely misses the ball.
A claimable corner is defined using the diagram below:
All corners are not identical:
1. Some deliveries are more dangerous.
2. Catches > good punches &
bad punches > missing the ball.
In order to investigate this I used my ExG prevented model (outlined in the thread below) to analyse every claim attempt. https://twitter.com/jhdharrison1/status/1307341104522702848?s=21

ExG prevented per claimable corner ranking:
1 #McCarthy 0.092
2 #Ryan 0.083
3 #Martinez 0.075
4 #Alisson 0.075
5 #Ederson 0.072
The top 5 GKs attempt to claim often & are rarely unsuccessful
#Ryan is the only exception whose exceptional aggressiveness outweighs his untidiness

10 #Lloris 0.043
#Lloris, #Guaita, & #Meslier get far too much criticism for their ability to deal with corners!
#Meslier for one has been outstanding, not only has he been aggressive he’s also been pretty tidy!

The below avg GKs come in 2 types:
Aggressive but missing the ball entirely has pulled their numbers down ( #Pickford & #Darlow & #Ramsdale)
Tidy but rarely claim ( #DeGea & #Fabianski)

The bottom 5 GKs either seldom attempt a claim or claim a below average amount & also fumbled frequently.
#Pope is the biggest shock to me as in past years he has been dominant vs corners

I will keep updating this corner claiming graphic as the season goes on & I collect more data & who knows maybe we will have some fun individual stats to tweet about at some point like last year when I found that #Kepa didn’t catch a single corner all the year!
