A keepers job isn't to play 40 yard balls to feet, it's to keep the ball out if the net

The following is part of a pro coach goal keeper assessment.

 Goalkeeper qualities

 

Tactical

Interventions outside the box

Building attacks.

Resetting possession. 

Understanding of team shape

 

Technical

Catching and punching crosses

Distribution skills

Shot stopping

 Physical

Agility

Reflexes

Strong

Psychological

Communicates

Concentration

Confident

Dominant

Mentally tough - Recovers from mistakes

 

The qualities vary depending on team approach and its formations - Playing with the feet can be up to 60%+ of a keepers game, shot stopping less than 10%.

If you play for Man City, then shot stopping would be about 10% of your job.

As with all assessments, it depends on who else is a part of the team. This assessment sheet is surely just for a keeper. You might be a brilliant shot stopper in a team that allows lots of shots, or not too clever in claiming a cross, in a team which allows lot's of crosses.

I must say it's nice to see that at least one clubs assessment is laid out logically, thanks for posting it.
