      Great vid as always
      I have some suggestions on the next video
      1. Benoit Badiashile: I feel he has a lot of potential
      2. Romeo Lavia: I see him as the next big thing in midfield even higher than Pedri if he joins the right set up
      3. Victor osimhen: I think he’ll definitely join a top level club this summer and I want to have a glimpse on how he adapt

      Wonderful work in your videos by the way

      This was a great goalkeeping video in a longtime since you criticized De Gea in the world class video. I think you should build on this video's success and do more. In your opinion do you know any young goalkeeper outside of Ter Stegen that can surpass Manuel Neuer and in the process become the GOAT like yashin, casillas etc?? Once again well done.

      Interesting analysis, especially regarding Raya's often-touted passing game. I was surprised when I saw all the Opta stats at the beginning instead of Wyscout like usual. Do they not have some GK stats that you're looking for?

      As an aside, regarding GKs, Chelsea are probably one of the few top teams where the #1 spot is uncertain in the long term. Many speculations have been swirling around about the club going for a new GK in the summer. However, with how well Kepa has performed this season, do you think he has shown enough to be trusted as the main man for a possession-oriented elite team in the CL? Or have his nightmares from 2 years ago permanently put doubts over his abilities?

      Speaking of Brentford, you once did an analysis of another one of their players, Ivan Toney. Seems like you weren't very impressed with his first season in the PL. But Toney has somehow kept up his impressive G/A record this season with 14 goals and 3 assists in 21 league games. This has ignited some links to bigger teams for him (before the incoming ban). Have your opinions on him changed? Or is Toney yet another case of a big fish in a small pond?

      Anyways, great job once again! 🤗

      i'd love to see an analysis on the importance of players who can go through multiple lines in the center of the pitch forward wise or back. Like the one you did about De Jong. These movements are so important. Especially today that everybody want to play from the back in teams with players who only go vertical or forward. It is not a request for a specific player video and his attributes but the functionality in a team's movement, even if it's based on a specific player/team.

      Thanks for the great videos, i hope you become n1 footballing reference in youtube. You deserve it.

      I have a suggestion for you for the next video.
      In the next transfer window lot of the top clubs will be out for a Striker. Can you make a video focusing on strikers
      1. Osimhen
      2. Vlahovic
      3. Jonathan David
      4. Ivan Toney
      To name some…. Consider other potential options too.

      Make a video comparing their qualities and potential and which Clubs style of play suits them.

      Man this kinda analysis is one of kind not just generational and free. Would like to see an analysis on Leao if you don’t mind.

      Great vid but I think you need to use FBref to show more detailed passing stats. only showing passes per 90, accurate pass%, and average pass length isn't enough imo to judge his short passing ability. In order to do that you need to breakdown his passing stats and highlight his short passing stats rather than just showing general passing stats. Because even from what you show we can conclude he may have the lowest passing accuracy because he attempts more longer passes (he has the highest average pass length) not because his short passing is bad. Finally im pretty sure for every goalkeeper in the world you can find multiple clips of them making mistakes in build up.
