Some keepers, Chimenti for example, make it harder for themselves by not getting in the right positions so positional sense is definitely useful. A good goalkeeper should be able to command his area and forge a solid understanding with his defenders. Flexibility and good reflexes are also needed.

a good keeper should have banana hands :extatic:

 

[baggio]

Nice title.

diamondring- since you've started the thread, why don't you first share your ideas

Like Stuart mentioned, positioning is very important.. Reactions are vital as well..

Speaking of Chimenti, did anyone else see him at the tim cup? Atrocious positioning..

 

[Desmond]

Buffon's strengths are his positioning, coming off his line and his reflexes.

But he isn't the most agile or courageous, has a horrible kick and can't start a counter attack to save his life.His handling is average and for a keeper who likes to punch crosses so much is surprisingly mediocre at it.He lacks the physical strength of most keepers isn't commanding at the back either.

I know I've been going on and on about Buffon's shortcomings for eons now, but until he improves dramatically on them I'm going to take every opportunity to disagree that we have the best keeper in the world.

for ex :

taller & good read to ather team strikers ...

A good keeper also knows his defenders and how they will react to a given situation, ensuring that they cover the expected "holes" when positioning themselves.

 

[Elnur_E65]

A good keeper will never talk sh*t about national's team second/first goalie.

That rules out anyone from Germany...

 

[Bjerknes]

Jens Lehmann went after Marcio Amoroso a few years ago during a match. The referee had to come and break up the fight, and Lehmann received a red card for fighting his own teamate. That had to be the funiest thing ever....until Bowyer fought Dyer. That was crucial.

What makes a good keeper? A short question with a long answer:

1. Shot stopping: A good keeper must have excellent reactions, sure hands, good leaping ability, and quick feet. Buffon is the best.

2. Command of the penalty area: A good keeper will catch any and all balls flighted in the penalty area. Few can match Petr Cech on this.

3. Communication: As the goalkeeper stands behind the rest of the team, he has the best position on the pitch to watch the action. A good keeper will communicate with his team mates to properly deploy the defense as well as coordinate passing for the attack.

4. Distribution: The ball often ends up with the keeper and thus he is responsible for properly playing the ball out to the rest of the squad. A good keeper will be able to accurately distribute the ball to his team mates to spark the attack and keep possesion. Edwin Van der Sar and Peter Schmiechel are the best I've ever seen at this.

5. Mental strength: Keepers mostly stand around and do nothing but are called upon to make crucial actions which decide the outcome of the game. A good keeper must have excellent concentration and also be able to bounce back quickly from a goal being scored on him.

6. Positioning: A good keeper will always be in the best position to stop a shot, whereever the ball is on the field. Most good keepers rarely leave the penalty area, as a goal can be scored over the head even from half-field or beyond. Also, a keeper must a good grasp of where his goal is behind him so as to deploy himself at the proper angle to stop the shot. If you want to see perfect positioning, watch Iker Cassilas.

7. Foot skills: An often underrated are for keepers, but this is important. Defenders often play balls back to the keeper and there are times in a match when a keeper is required to be the eleventh field player. A keeper with good footskills brings an added dimension to a team.

Good post

 

[Qaterminator]

reflexes

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

the best keeper in the world would have

Buffon's reflexes
Dida's Presence and Strenght
Cassilas' agility
Old Peruzzi's ability cover one on ones
and last but not least

kahn's vocas cords

 

[Islander]

kahn's vocas cords

And his looks, to scare the opposition.

 

[Codino]

a good keeper can also be judged on his defence.

that is why i beleive casillas is brilliant. he has a shocker defence infront of him, compared to the likes of juve, milan, chelsea.

 

[sutnevuJ]

Who here actually thinks Buffon is over rated ?

i've kind of thought that way for the last couple of years.

Dont think awards and stuff. Think performances.
