Ironically, despite us probably not looking there, it’s quite common for goalkeepers from the continent to be good with their feet. You look at the likes of Ederson, Alisson Becker, Onana, Kaminski at Blackburn, they’re all decent with their passing and decision making. De Gea, while randomly **** then world class, could pick a pass from anywhere. Ditto Buffon.
British goalkeepers don’t develop in that same way, or at least haven’t for the last 20 odd years. I think steps have been taken to try and rectify this, at least at City, and the young lads we have now will definitely benefit from this.
