I am not discrediting Begovic. You offer nice metrics, but the more precise and greater of a vacuum effect the stats can have, the better. Shot difficultly would be nice, but it would be arbitrary and inexact in nature, much like defensive metrics in baseball.
Lloris has not played because I would assume he was not yet up to speed with Tottenham. He seems to be the starter at this point.

After reviewing the statistics of all of the keepers who have played max minutes so far this season, Begovic is towards the bottom of the group statistically speaking. EPLindex (a subscription based statistics site) used to show a breakdown of where all the saves were made, and a percentage breakdown of where the shots came from on the field. I can't find that option now.
Begovic's saves/minute is almost the worst of the group which leads me to believe that Stoke's defense forces a lot of poor shots. The shots on target he faces in relation to the total shots he faces must be low.
