On top of the shot stopping - I thought he's looked more assured and confident with ball at his feet recently. Makes a big difference. Anyone else see this?

He also clears a lot more set pieces
But he has had 2 goals this season where he palmed it into play
And the long range Brighton shot that he knows he should have done better on
I think he is class. He does what a keeper is there to do… save shots
Mine issue is keepers now are expected to have some outfield ability.
It’s interesting that Pep has gone for a shot stopper rather than a footballing keeper. He normally starts the trend

Next, everyone will probably be looking for a keeper thats capable of long throw-ins.

I actually think her keepers should throw the ball a lot more generally
Their accuracy and lack of height in the throw is better and faster
And I don’t mean throw ins… although …

And they have to be flip throws

Bring back Gomes

Bring back Gomes

Difference there is he would save a penalty and then take the guy down again off the rebound
He was a top shot stopper

Also everyone is an expert on what you did wrong… even if they ain’t

Including your good self btw .

I said earlier that I didn't think he was as good as we need, to challenge, but it's the coaches and TF who see him day in and day out who's opinion count the most. He's been great last 2 games but he has been prone to mistakes too especially taking the ball from a cross. If he can improve that side of his game then I think he can be a great.

His dealing with crosses is much better
Well worth looking at the data on that
I think that’s a legacy perception
His kicking isn’t perfect
And he can also make some odd decisions
And as I said in this thread there are 3 goals he should have done better on
But… he is already way ahead of every keeper in the division on goal gains and that’s his job

I used the eye test when the ball is in the air and felt he has a tendency to flap at it. But he is a brilliant shot stopper.

But he gets the ball
That’s why the data is needed
If he gets the ball even by flapping it’s much better than looking assured and not getting the ball at all … and conceding
We have had many vampire goalkeepers and that’s the easiest way to play

He doesn’t always get the ball. The ball in the air really doesn’t appear to be a strength. I think we will have to agree to disagree!

We can disagree
I love the fact he comes for it and one way or another gets a hand to it
Nothing worse than a Passive keeper
