Especially as a goalkeeper, when you are closed down, you have to make a decision in a split second, and sometimes it is better to make the wrong one rather than wait and see what's happening.

Simon Mignolet

When I was nine or ten, I had a chat with my coach and I asked if I could play in goal. I started playing as a goalkeeper and it was love at first sight. Only a goalkeeper knows how it is.

Ederson

There's a difference between a young goalkeeper and an experienced goalkeeper. In a pressure situation, an experienced goalkeeper can handle the situation in a calm manner.

P. R. Sreejesh

A second-choice goalkeeper can sometimes say: 'Oh, it's a lack of games, it's different when you train compared to when you play.' But there is no excuse if you do everything right.

Emiliano Martinez

Who's been with me longest? Kevin Blackwell. I signed him as a goalkeeper at Scarborough in '86 and he's basically been with me my whole career. He's been my goalkeeper, reserve goalie, now my assistant manager.

Neil Warnock

The goalkeeper position is not an easy one. You can only speak about it if you are a goalkeeper yourself.

Simon Mignolet

Don't try to beat the goalkeeper...Tr y to destroy the goalkeeper.

Steven Gerrard

I know I am coming to a big club with a very good goalkeeper. City already have a great goalkeeper in Joe Hart, but I will try and compete for the No. 1 spot.

Willy Caballero

I can see what goes on defensively in a game, but 80 or 90 yards away, you can have no idea about the attack or how someone scored. I guess it's once a goalkeeper, always a goalkeeper.

Robert Green

I wasn't a goalkeeper until I was 13 or 14 so before that, my heroes were the likes of Paul Scholes and David Beckham, but since becoming a goalkeeper, I've obviously trained with Joe Hart.
