Navas is spot on. Whilst most young kids care about goals, assists, knee slides, hair cuts and fancy goal celebrations on tick tok. Some of them/us just loved keeping the ball out, no matter what. #goalkeepersunion needs it's own Ballon d'or. Too much specific talent not to.❤️🔥
This is 100% true. 🤣🤣 A little insight into one of the greatest ever. #elite #noletup #notverybritish
Pickford has the best footwork from any professional goalkeeper I've ever seen and is the current best in the world, which results in incredible S.stopping and angle closing. This with 'forcing' 'putting off' attacking players with speed and instinct. Should be playing top 4 PL.
Earps and the entire goalkeeping unit @EnglandFootball deserve credit for that save. Earps has spirit, guile, swagger, ability and elite mentality running through her game. Hopefully it isnt for nothing. Come on you #Lionesses #ESPENG Dig Deep and use that experience. 🤞🫡
Props. #keepersunion

Concentration, physical recovery, mental strength. Just brilliant #goalkeeping in general. 👏
Hugo Lloris has enough time to react on that 1st goal for @Arsenal. His hands have to be mid to down turned and at hip height to move up with fingers up or down depending on on the height of the shot. Cut a line through your hips and adjust accordingly. Same as catch or parry.
Whilst watching this game yesterday, JP (of which I rate), I noticed something I see every week. Keeper's guessing instinctively & diving to defend the smaller area of the goal. JWP or any player will instinctively aim for the biggest, open space, when 'guessing', guess the %'s.
Starting positions are up for discussion. I was always wary, like one of our keepers on being 'too far out'. I trusted my shot stopping and 1v1 more than a footrace with an attacker.
However, the modern game requires keepers to start 6/8ft further up the pitch. #sweeperkeeper
Concentration is so understated in #goalkeeping
Everything we/they learn can only be executed if the head is in the right place. 1st or last min, it is crucial to not let the mind wonder or ball watch. Everything learned, can only be applied if a keeper is in tune with the game.
Today, our u16 keeper, conceded 7, none his fault. Tipped a worldy FK onto the bar and away, for the cameras😉However, I am far more proud of his consistent kicking, calm & good decision making, confidence in punching and catching in a crowded box & quick wall building #progress
Things you love to see. Quadrouple save from Ryan Sandford. Commitment, recovery, positioning, footwork and never, ever giving up. Superb lad 🤝👊💪👏 #keepersunion #hardestposition
I think Jordan Pickford makes my point massively today.

Anything less than superb concentration and 100% commitment and Liverpool score 4.
Same from Alisson (Footwork & Concentration) and Everton score 2.
Pickford 4. 2 Alisson #goalkeepingunion #respecttheposition
"That is the hardest thing to do in football, put the ball in the back of the net"
That is a nice narrative and a great generic go to, but I 100% would like to differ.
Try being stuck in an 8 x 24ft hole and told to stop 10/11 other people scoring in it. By far the hardest job.
Loving working with 15 Y/O keepers atm. Physically bigger, focussed, implementing all the previous coaching too.
Taking onboard those 1% margins now too. Consistantly better decision making, starting at 💯% not 50%. Reading and giving micro body signals to forwards. #rewarding

🧤Goalkeeper Wanted 🧤
Our Men’s First Team are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper for the forthcoming season. We train on Wednesday nights and play on Saturdays in the Lancashire & Cheshire AFL. Please get in touch if you're interested.
