Do you put yourself in the same bracket as Xavi and Iniesta often?

Dont see too many goalkeepers on your list ;-)
Only when proving a point that height isn't embarrassing.

I didn't look for any as it was a different point plus our keeper is taller than 5ft 7" as we established at the start of this conversation.

Yep and I’d go for the chip more often than not because of it.

Bet there aren’t many keepers in the Premier League under 6 foot.

Bet there aren’t any keepers in the WSL over 6 foot.

Goals are too big. ;-)

Again I'll just go back to the start, why?

If they can jump up and get their hand over the bar then they are tall enough to play in goal.

I have never been chipped as a goalkeeper so IMO you'd be mainly wasting your time and chance created by a teammate.

However I wasn't great on crosses, had to punch most of the time and I used to stay on my line for corners with the instruction to the defenders to head it clear, I was a good shot-stopper, you play to your strengths, no point me coming for a cross at the end of the day, I had a better chance of saving the header.

Shay Given was 5ft 10"
