This is reality in Gaelic Football! Since about 2021 teams started pushing goalkeepers out the pitch, first to press opponents goal kick, then eventually just to create overloads in possession. Many traditional goalkeepers have been replaced with former outfielders, who’ve maybe lost a yard due to age or injury.

A lot of the players and staff (both current and former) speak highly of his technical ability on the ball, and there’s even a clip where players like KDB and Gundo mention that he is the best penalty taker at the club (and he recently took one against Madrid). I just think it’s an absolute dumb risk to take though because the counter attacks would most certainly result in a goal.

That actually happens in Ice Hockey, if a team is losing by 1 or 2 goals, a couple of minutes before the end of the game they’ll take their goalkeeper off for an attacking player. The thinking behind it is that it doesn’t matter if you lose 5-4 or 6-4 if the opponent scores in the empty net but it gives you a better chance of equalising and taking the game to extra time.

I've started watching hockey recently and they do this almost every game if they're down in the final minutes. Id say about 80% of the time it leads to an open goal being scored on, with a 20% success rate. Obviously it's different with football since it would require a much further shot to succeed in scoring but the reality is that goal differential is a lot more important in football and can be the decider on who wins a league or a match with aggregate goals.

If you've ever seen hockey, they do exactly that. The only difference though is that hockey standings aren't reliant on goal difference so losing 1-0 and losing 3-0 is effectively the same result. But in soccer, goal difference matters a lot more. And considering that in hockey goalie pulls only work about 15% of the time, that means that to rescue that 1 point for a draw will likely cost you 6-7 extra goals in lost games. The only way I could see this being genuinely useful is in a cup competition or at the end of a league season where goal difference isn't a factor and you know for certain what you need.

He's proposing the extra attacker strategy from hockey into soccer. For those who don't know, in hockey, you can pull the goaltender for a different player, usually a fourth forward, if you're down in the game or else waiting on a delayed penalty. In down situations, it's a way to try to push for a win while giving up the defense of the goaltender. In delayed penalty situations, there's very little risk of being scored against so you might as well get another offensive scorer on the ice. Either way, it'd be a interesting thing to add to soccer.

@NoHyper 17 күн бұрын

That’s exactly what teams do in hockey. If they’re down a goal, they’ll pull the goalie with about 2 minutes left in the game for an extra skater on the ice. It basically creates a 6 on 5. In hockey, it usually doesn’t work and sometimes for extremely specific reason (such as needing a better goal differential than another team to get into the playoffs) they purposely will take the loss instead of pulling the goalie. One of the reasons it doesn’t work well in hockey is because the rink isn’t that big, it’s 200 feet (60 meters) long. But, on a football pitch, it could actually be really effective assuming you can keep possession and lock down the wings.

Surely this is why so many clubs buy goalkeepers who are good with their feet? I feel it would be worth the risk having someone like Ederson or Onana who can pick out a long ball but is also capable of making a save

This is why ball playing keepers are so in demand

Field hockey has done this for years. Sub the keeper off and play with 11 out fielders. The extra player makes a huge difference

This sounds similar to pulling your goalie in hockey late in the game when you're down 1 to get an extra attacking player

They do this in futsal, it’s called playing 5th man. Essentially sit in the oppositions half with an outfield player as a keeper, moving the ball left to right. The extra man advantage works in your favor moving the defense side to side, tiring them out and leaving openings for shots or a back post pass for a tap in. It’s high risk high reward, used normally in the dying minutes of a game if you’re losing, or drawing but you need a win. José must know his futsal! It’s also a lower risk of conceding compared to futsal because of difference in pitch size. Would love to see it happen in Football!

Used to do this all the time in our local matches. Usually I play as a midfielder but I'd go in goal occasionally,I've got tons of assists and actually a game winning goal when I decided to rush out of the goal in the last minute

Rooney back at United was 4th choice keeper of all 3 other choices were injured or suspended. It never truly had to had to happen in any league game. But I imagine this scenario would have worked well. Subbing a keeper for another striker and putting Rooney in goal. His ball distribution from the half way line would have been ideal, plus we all know he could track back defensively too

This is what they do in hockey. It makes completel sense

Honestly, stuff like this gets done with futsal as well. It’s very effective. Might be a good idea to try this yeah

This is a pretty good idea in some situations, but I think that generally the trend will be for goalkeepers developing good enough passing skills that it’s not worth replacing them for a midfielder.

If you end up getting a goal and still have a substitute, you could always bring on another goalkeeper in place of the playmaker.

In hockey, teams do this all the time, its called an Empty Net, or 6-on-5. Where if teams need a goal, they will pull the goalie and put in another skater. Makes games very chaotic at the end. I can see this working in soccer too, granted 11-on-10 soccer probably won't be as chaotic as Empty Net hockey
