Anticipate, intercept, manage the penalty area and above all, get the angles right. Comes to naught, though, if he lets a trundler through his legs. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy for one that could a) catch the ball, b) kick the ball where intended and c) save a shot when required, but alas, that is not to be in Chelsea goalkeepers these days. As long as they can fanny about with the ball at the back and allow us to lose possession on the edge of our own box then job done!! I did note that Pickford kicked long whenever he could and created chances on the edge of the Liverpool box. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
