After the first 5 Serie A matches, we can only outline a preliminary trend for the season, but the goalkeepers have already given us miracles and glaring mistakes.

Who are the ones who have conceded more goals than expected? Let’s take a look at them in this "Flop" 5.

The value we use is expressed by the formula: xGOT from a given position + shot power + where it is saved - (minus) Goals Conceded.

This way, it is possible to calculate the actual danger of every saved shot, subtracting it from the goals conceded by the goalkeeper himself. We therefore get the actual goals prevented by a goalkeeper . The abbreviation is written as follows: PsxG-GA (Goals Against) .

Genoa are not second from bottom only because of an ineffective attack and a careless defense; Justin Bijlow has also contributed to this poor start to the league season: +3 goals conceded compared to those expected. Only in the 1-1 against Frosinone did he manage to post a positive number; in the other matches, he was underperforming.

The Genoa goalkeeper faced 23 shots on target (not his fault), and as many as 10 went in. The xGOT he faced , however, was "only" 7: a gap of 3 goals.

An incredible figure for Demba Thiam: +2.21 extra goals conceded in just 3 matches . Now Monza’s backup goalkeeper after the signing of Tornqvist, he conceded 7 goals from 4.79 xGOT faced and only 11 shots received.

The howler on Kamara’s goal against Udinese sends the statistic soaring, but the facts back it up: Juric put him on the bench despite the sale of Pizzignacco (whom we will come back to).
