This is a myth perpetuated by the media. The ball going in counts the same amount on either post. You don’t favor the near post and no keeper hates getting beaten there more than far. Keepers simply hate getting beaten, period.Fabianski can’t be beat to the near corner there.
Yep that's a no-win positioning. Just don't let a guy get acres of space to take the time to place it where he wants.This is a myth perpetuated by the media.

At that angle, the ball hits the near post a lot faster than the far post. If you truly want to cover it you need to expose the far side to an unacceptable degree. A striker will look up and adjust accordingly.
Yeah. That was a knuckleball, but I'm still not sure how he missed it.Rough game for Mendy.
Leaned the wrong way twice pretty impressive.Yeah. That was a knuckleball, but I'm still not sure how he missed it.
Plus he conceded the penalty on a ball that he had a chance to clear first (that one was as much on Jorginho as Mendy though, two goals conceded in two weeks on Jorginho mistakes).Yeah. That was a knuckleball, but I'm still not sure how he missed it.
Welll …Traore been doing this for three years now … amazing physical skills …but no end result. I used to be terrified when he got the ball in space. Now you just expect him to make the wrong decision.The league is lucky Traore can’t be a complete player for 90 minutes. I don’t think he’s ever going to figure out his passing or shooting consistently, but if he does… Yikes.
Coady just got in the way, somehowThat was absolutely wild. How the hell did Jota not score there?
Jota and Mane have an actual goals of 0 on xG above .75. Their actual goals on xG below .1 is basically their goal total.That was absolutely wild. How the hell did Jota not score there?
It feels like he only scores three goals a year but they're all stoppage time winners.Origi only scores important late goals.
It really does. Inexplicable how he always seems to do this.It feels like he only scores three goals a year but they're all stoppage time winners.
yeah … I think they were the Wolves announcers … seemed a tad one sided the whole game.The color guy sounds like he might be in tears.
Some players become legends by scoring tons of goals over a long period of time. Others do by scoring a handful of goals at key moments. He's nowhere to be found on any list of greatest Liverpool players, but 50 years from now people will still remember his name.It feels like he only scores three goals a year but they're all stoppage time winners.
I looked it up. Since 2018-19, he has scored only 14 goals for Liverpool, but that includes:Some players become legends by scoring tons of goals over a long period of time.
