In the first installment of Giallorossi Yorkshire's review of Roma's 2016/17 season, let's take a look at how the club's goalkeepers fared this season.
An average rating will be given to each player across this series, and a season rating. The average rating is determined by adding together the players' ratings out of 10 from all the Roma games I watched this season, with ratings counting double if I deemed the player to be Roma's man of the match on that occasion, then dividing by the number of games considered that the player featured in. (Sub appearances count as half an appearance.) The season rating is my judgement of how the player performed on the whole this season, again, a score out of ten. Let's start by reviewing Roma's goalkeepers. Wojciech Szczesny Average Rating: 6.5 Man of the Match: Once Season Rating: 8 Polish keeper Szczesny had a solid second season in Rome. Taking the number one shirt this season, he found great form and recorded 14 clean sheets in Serie A. He remained alert in big games, something that he has to some extent struggled with in the past, and showed how reliable he was for this team. It is unclear where Szczesny will be next season - he may return to Arsenal, but has been linked with Juventus (quite strongly), Napoli, and still could join Roma permanently. Whatever happens, Szczesny had a fantastic season, and the club's league position may have been different had he not performed so well. Bogdan Lobont Average Rating: N/A Season Rating: N/A Once again, 39-year-old keeper Lobont was... well, there, this season. His experience is beneficial to the club's other goalkeepers, but he did not make a single appearance during the campaign. Of course, that means he conceded less goals than any other Roma keeper, but anyway... Alisson Becker Average Rating: 6.25 Man of the Match: None Season Rating: 7 In his debut season in Europe, Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson was limited to just cup appearances. He made a decent account of himself in many of those games and seems an assured presence between the sticks. More opportunities may come his way next season if Szczesny doesn't return, and at 24, he is at a good age to continue improving and developing at Roma.
