Why stats don’t tell real story of Ederson’s ‘worst’ Man City season
I know from my own experiences that goalkeepers usually get blamed when things go wrong, but I am still surprised that some Manchester City fans see Ederson as being a weak link in their Treble bid.The 29-year-old Brazilian has been at City since 2017 and has won four Premier League titles from five attempts, but some of his critics would have you believe that he doesn't save enough shots and also claim that even his famous footwork is not as good as it used to be.At first glance, some of his statistics this season might appear to support those theories about a decline - but I've tried to dig a little deeper in an attempt to show why just looking at numbers alone does not give you the full picture about a player's performances, particularly in his position.Save percentageSeasonClean sheet ratio68.3%2017-1816/36 = 0.4471.6%2018-1920/38 = 0.5370.8%2919-2016/35 = 0.4670.2%2020-2119/36 = 0.5368.7%2021-2220/37 =…

Yems racism ban extended until 2026 after FA appeal
John Yems was in charge at Crawley for almost two and a half years before parting company with the club in April last yearFormer Crawley Town manager John Yems has had his suspension from football for making racist comments to players extended until 2026 after a successful appeal by the Football Association.The 63-year-old's extended suspension is the longest ban issued to someone in English football for discrimination.The FA appealed against the sanction on the basis it was "insufficient".

Every time I've played for them, I've kept wicket."Last month, Yorkshire director of cricket Darren Gough said Bairstow had indicated a desire to keep wicket when he makes his comeback.Speaking to BBC Sport, Bairstow said: "It's a bit of a non-story, to be honest."Bairstow has kept wicket for England in 49 of his 89 Tests, but in none of his past 11 dating back to 2021.Prior to his injury, sustained when slipping on a golf course, Bairstow…
