Can't remember which of you requested for the next international break, but we put Zac on this for you and here's the data and analytics on Pierce Charles...

Great piece Zak.
I have one question.
You say Charles is 'par for the course' for shot stopping.
Is that par for all goalkeepers or just Championship keepers?
Reason I ask is that if the data says he's an average Championship shot stopper that might count against him in the Premier League where the strikers are a lot more efficient at finishing their chances.
Basically I'm looking for a 'weakness' in his game that might give us a chance of hanging on to him. He would be a worthy wearer of the hallowed Number 10 shirt. Although you'd probably have to prise it out of Chair's dead fingers to get it off him. |  | | |

Great work all round Zak - I particularly liked the animations you included to illustrate the tactical / positional changes.
I know we're not supposed to fall in love with loan players but I think Pierce is going to be tough to get over. |  |

I was certainly one who requested it although I’m sure there must been others, so first thing’s first, let me say how much I appreciate it. I was struck by Pierce as soon as I saw him in some of the pre-season friendlies when it became obvious that we had something special on our hands.
I like to think that I can see exactly what’s going on from my perch in the Upper Loft, but to actually put it into words like Zac is something else entirely. The piece could easily be a university degree dissertation, IMHO.
As a slightly daft aside, this message board has taught me a lot over the years, not least how long to boil an egg for to achieve the perfect consistency between ‘runny’ and ‘hard’ (six minutes, since you ask).
Thinking six minutes would allow me to sit down and read the article this morning, I started the egg-boiling process. Needless to say I became so engrossed in the piece that I completely forgot about my breakfast, resulting in two rock hard eggs and a burned out saucepan.
Anyway, enough of this drivel. Just to say thanks once again, Clive, for commissioning the piece and to young Zac for so brilliantly bringing it to life.
PS: The Pierce Charles ‘Pass Map’ is a thing of beauty. Can it be made available as a giant poster please?! |  | | |

Without getting hackles raised I think he has that weakness but his overall game covers for it and more .
Keepers at this level and above are required to make the stunning save ,spring up and save the rebound then even a 3rd effoet if the defenders are not back slaying for him.
Charles has let in 3 or 4 pretty soft ones this year IMO but still on a different level that our previous keepers.
Speaking of City their so called world class keeper Donnarumma is turning into a very average one for City and Italy massive errors this season that wont be tolerated for long .
Charles wont be recalled of course probably a top ranked loan in Jan |  | | |
