it's not the most important attribute for a keeper to have, but an ability to shoot well

is the most important attribute for a striker to have - for a striker to be properly good - top 2 divisions good - their all-round game has to be good too - they have to be able to head the ball - much like a top 2 divisions goalie has to be more than a good shot-stopper - they've got to get their distribution right - be able to kick a ball decently

i'd rather our keeper was chosen for his shot-stopping ability than his kicking ability - particularly at this level
