Gone are the days when a keeper would come for a cross and take everyone out in the way, even his own defenders!!!
Seem to recall Reina's first Prem outing where he was totally taken out by Hasselbank with a foot to the chest - after the challenge Jimmy said 'welcome to the premiership'. The next corner came and he absolutely wiped him and about 3 players out - saying after 'thank you for the welcome'...
Whilst it may not be true, or my memory serves me incorrectly it makes the point. A keeper gets 'carte blanche' when coming for a cross if they get the ball or clear it. It would be great to have a keeper where you have total confidence in him taking the ball from every cross regardless of who is in the way.
