We just got food chained nobody. We got food chained by the option to simply not sign for us. Everton got food chained by a man remembering he has free will and doesn’t have to come here
Goalkeeping remains the most reactive position in football. If a striker misses six chances and scores the winner, he is the hero.
A goalkeeper can perform flawlessly for 89 minutes and still leave the stadium blamed for one positional mistake or one shot that swerves unexpectedly late.
A forward’s contribution is more visible whereas a goalkeeper's influence is often preventative, subtle and psychological.
Goalkeepers spend entire matches trying to prevent the very thing football exists to celebrate. They are the sport’s disruptors, the villain in the narrative.
Nobody buys tickets hoping to see a goalkeeper dominate and yet, when teams win titles, the truly great sides almost always have one.
@mattpyzdrowski explains why goalkeepers like Arsenal's outstanding David Raya rarely win the sport's top individual awards and argues why that should really happen more often.

I think criticism of the manager is really harsh. That was as good a performance away vs. City as you can expect. Bold, front-footed tactics. Scored from a high press. Created a lot. Fixed every issue from the Carabao. Not really sure what more you can expect. That was good.
