According to this BBC Sport article.

“The statistics also highlight why Ipswich, who were promoted to the top flight at the end of last season, brought in Kosovo international Arijanet Muric to help in their bid to stay up this term.
Muric played the final 10 games of last season with Burnley, where he had an average save percentage of 79.8% - more than any other goalkeeper who made 20 or more saves.
Including his 17 games for Ipswich so far this term, he boasted the best save percentage of any Premier League goalkeeper, with 73.14% in the calendar year.” |  | | |  |

He's not far off being a really good keeper when you add his command of the box and cross claiming to that. |  |

The statistics certainly seem to back that up, including being right up there with save percentages and catching crosses. I guess the two key areas he could improve the most might be decision making and distribution? If he were to get those better then he would be one heck of an asset. Still only 25 so has plenty of time. | | | |

Those statistics show he had a really high save percentage in half a season for Burnley, and that it’s regressed significantly here. And then overlay that his errors have led to more goals than any other player in the league… |  |

I agree with this. He has an awful lot of strengths and for a keeper is still relatively young. There’s one thing I would like to see improve even more than distribution and decision making. The appearance of calm.
Watching Walton on Monday, he looked pretty much unflustered the whole game and maybe it was just my perception, but that seemed to transmit to the crowd as well as the defence. He might have been paddling like hell underneath, but it didn’t show. With Muric there’s a visible element of Corporal Jones panic about him at times. |  | | |

…and the obvious fact that of course he’s going to have a higher save percentage given he’s playing in weaker, relegation threatened teams who will naturally concede more shots on goal. These stats lack so much context. Walton in. | | | |

He looked however similar to muric when it came to passing short. So there wasn't actually an improvement there though. Chelsea almost scored from one of them.
I did laugh at one point as he passed to cajuste just outside our box and cajuste passed it first time to greaves with a defender right behind him. There were 0 messages on here calling the Walton pass a hospital ball. |  |

Is there any point in mentioning the obvious logical flaw? | |

He also leads the way for most errors leading to a goal with 5, in just 17 games. That’s over 10 per season…

That is a great shout Churchman. I was trying to pinpoint that one non statistical aspect that seems to be lacking from his toolbox and I think you nailed it. Not sure if a calm presence can necessarily improve with repetition but maybe age and experience will resolve that. Perhaps even sessions with a sports psychologist and/or mindfulness training would help in that regard?
Imo he does perhaps tend to appear that he is not an overly confident chap (may be completely wrong of course) so maybe the lack of calmness reflects that? Not sure, but with so much natural talent I really hope he can sort out the obvious errors/weaknesses in his game sooner than later and fully fulfil his potential for his and Town’s sake. | | | |

Then in Muric and Walton we have a couple of great keepers!
I noticed David Raya let in one at his near post yesterday (and it wasn't even deflected), then had a major flap which nearly lead to The Arse being 2:0 down. There was none of the slating of Raya by the match commentators like there was with Muric just a couple of weeks back.
Muric's communication with his defence has been a little calamitous at times but I think it has been overblown by match commentators and if people continue to peddle what the pundits say, we risk shaking the confidence of a keeper with huge potential.
The fact that Walton took his opportunity so well against Chelsea says an incredible amount about the man who has essentially been on the sidelines since L1. That said, I hope Aro gets the same welcome from the fans next time his name is read out on the starting XI. |  | | |

He's also got the most errors leading to goals this season of 5 and looks like he had 2 for Burnley so that is where the problem is.
Clearly he's not a bad keeper without te errors, but they're too much. | | | |

He was brought in for a reason after all.
I really couldn't predict who it will be in the sticks for us next game after Waltons strong showing v Chelsea - I reckon it's a 50/50, glad I'm not in KM's shoes making these calls. |  |

I agree with this beeing a weakness of Muric. From my perspective, what makes Muric look nervous is partly that he invites pressure from the forward. Walton seemed to make his mind up early and made the pass well in time before the Chelsea forward came close to him. Muric on the other hand seem to wait and wait with his decision making and the forward gets closer and closer as well as the alternatives for Muric gets less and less, and then it all ends with him passing it in the last split second before lit is too late. Often resulting in him almost panicking resulting in a pass of quite poor quality. It might be that this is his instruction to invite pressure as late as possible, but i dont think Muric likes it, not comfortibel with it, makes him nervous, which transponds ro the rest of the team. |  |

Right and that errors leading to goals stat is a far better measure of a keeper than simply saves. Muric is going to be better than Walton at coming for crosses and possibly shot stopping but Walton has better decision making with the ball at his feet for me and the defence looked a whole lot more comfortable the other night, which was admittedly one game. | | | |

I think age will improve it, along with the kind of professionals you suggest - and watching himself back too. How you present yourself is terribly important in all walks of life. It is something I used to focus on with people I mentored at the end of my career. Not least because it was something I could have learned earlier.
Appearance of calm, of control - how we are perceived is often very different to how we see ourselves.
I too hope Muric maximises his potential. I don’t get the best of views from where I am but I saw him pre season from NS quite close up. He very much has a presence to him. Big bloke, very agile, good in the air and a bit of a ‘character’. In other words all the attributes.
Hopefully he will improve on the things he could do better and that he will get support rather than abuse. Nobody makes mistakes deliberately and the one thing I like about this team is that whatever their inadequacies, they give 100%.
As has been pointed out, we have two good keepers at the club. It is something McKenna has pointed out and he’s not a person for throw away statements. | | | |

Illogical point. This would highlight a weaker defence in front of the keeper, and then the keeper doing an excellent job of stopping the attempts on goal that should of maybe not got through.
So the logical conclusion would be to replace all of the defence, not the keeper ... | | | |

Well said. I am based in Australia so unlike yourself I haven’t had the privilege to see any games in person this season. But I have fortunately been able to watch every game via a live stream. One of the criticisms I have heard about Muric via the forum is that he is not particularly vocal and so doesn’t communicate enough with his defence which leads to misunderstandings. I wondered if you or anybody else who attends games regularly would be able to testify as to the accuracy of that claim, because I have definitely seen close ups on tv of him directing and organising his team mates during set piece plays at least but have no idea if they are isolated incidents or not. | | | |

He ruins it all by making bad decisions in every game he never will be good enough error-prone I'm afraid. | | | |

Sitting at the side I’m too far away to tell how vocal he is. He was quiet in the pre season game I saw, but being what it was and one of his first matches, that didn’t surprise me.
I’d be interested to hear how vocal he is too from those who sit in NS or Churchmans, especially compared to Christian Walton and Hladky. He’s a big bloke so physically imposing, but then so is Walton. | | | |
