ESPN's top 10 keepers in 2019: Alisson 1st as De Gea drops to 9th, Courtois out

  /  HollowPoett

The modern goalkeeper isn't just there to stop shots. They're also the first step in building attacks; whether with a long, accurate throw or a raking cross-field pass, it's the first major evolution for the position since the "sweeper keeper" became a thing thanks to Manuel Neuer. Agility and reflexes are a given but confidence, vision and assertive play are vital too.
