Fraser Forster

Forster fills the goal in a way few goalkeepers his size manage without losing agility, and that combination lets him claim a cross that a smaller keeper would have to punch or simply leave for a defender. His reach shortens the angle for a striker one on one, taking away the near post option before the shot is even struck. Long spells on the bench across his career have never seemed to blunt his instincts once he is finally recalled into a starting side.

Supporters who only know him from occasional cameo appearances underestimate how much command he still brings to a nervous back four. Confidence with the ball at his feet has always trailed his shot stopping, an old weakness that modern goalkeeping increasingly punishes. Whenever Bournemouth need him, the honest question is whether he stays sharp enough playing so rarely to be trusted in a genuine crisis.
