Mark Flekken (Closed Thread)

[Ash]

What does it say about him?

He has found his Mojo!
Maybe related to (or not) with the Wonderkid GK we just signed?

What does it say about him?

Brentford stopper Mark Flecken followed up last week’s record-breaking display against Manchester City with another strong performance, this time in a 2-0 victory over Wolves. The Dutchman made a total of five saves and two high claims as the Bees recorded their second win in four matches.

Expected goals, or xG, have become one of the biggest buzzwords in the world of the Premier League - but some goalkeepers do better at preventing them than others.

A ‘season to date’ figure is not going to be representative, we need to see a trend graph!

Or the stats fromt he last two games as a percentage, bet he is near the top then.

Did this quickly on excel using the stats from here so please don't crucify me as I'm no data whizz!

This is PSxG (Post Shot Expected Goals) minus GA (Goals Against).

Past 2 games have been above and beyond anything he's registered so far. Trend is definitely in the right direction...

Today's Metro has a Q&A piece with Mark Flekken,an interesting read

 

[w7 bee]

Gonna be a busy bee in next 2 matches me thinks.

………setting up assists for Toney,Wissa and Neal………….

 

[Untouchable]

Despite conceding 4, Flekken was excellent again today. Some very good saves again too.

Yes. Not quite so much to do today but still possibly mom again

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

He was very good again.

 

[shaun]

My MOTM today. Solid performance ?

 

[cromerbee]

Great saves today. Looks a different keeper!!

 

[gilly]

I’ve been skeptical about Flekken in the past, but the past few games and today I see a lot of improvement to his confidence and performance. Great to see and hope it continues in this upward trend!

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Hanworthbee will be on with his stat soon.

 

[alikat]

I think that we swapped him a few games ago for a lookalike. Definitely not the same player that we had earlier in the season!

 

[badgerbee]

Totally exposed for all 4 goals today. No chance with any of them.
Made some decent saves/interceptions/passes though.

Have you got one after today please?

 

[detours]

Have you got one after today please?

Don't tell my boss but it's on my work laptop ? so no update until tomorrow...

A quick look at the stats... Liverpool's PSxG was 3.5 and Flekken conceded 4, so technically he underperformed – conceding 0.5 goals more than he should have.

Others may disagree but I'd say all 4 of their goals were pretty much unsaveable ?‍ so the stats only really tell half the story, feels quite harsh to suggest Mark had anything other than a decent game IMO.

 

[ApolloBeachTone]

He certainly seems to be over any issues - another strong display tonight so far.

 

[JosephBFC]

Dominating the box for every City corner.

 

[1889]

He’s making some on here look like right knobs at the moment

I'm really tempted to shut this thread, burn the evidence and start again. A Flekken amnesty.

 

[taxi driver]

Fantastic again

 

[The Corner Flag]

Been sublime again tonight

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

World class performance tonight. Absolutely flawless.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Very good.

 

[Delbee]

Decent game again could do nothing with the goal once Ajer slipped over

 

[BeeHomeSoon]

The one on one save with Foden was unreal.
He was unflappable with crosses today, he was ridiculously strong.

Dare I say Raya would have struggled with half of what he dealt with tonight.

 

[Sultan]

What a keeper

 

[aawharris]

Fantastic seeing him play like a keeper full of confidence, so happy for him and all looking good moving forward

 

[BS7Bee]

This guy!

I'm glad his interview last month about not seeing the best of him was not just a soundbite. Consistent excellent performances since Spurs away.
