Scoring v Saving

    Just wondering what everyone thinks is... well, better regarded, scoring a goal or saving a shot.

    Personally I have high regards for a goalie that can make a save. There are countless players who can score goals but not many keepers who can keep clean sheets.

    Biased as a forward but scoring a goal for me - it's a difficult skill to get direction, accuracy, power when kicking from the hand on the move - most times with a defender closing down / trying to put you off, not to mention the goals are small :)

    Depends on the situation really, I played as a keeper for a few years and shot stopping was probably the easiest part of the game. I was far more concerned with catching a dropping ball under pressure and getting the kick outs right.

    Only played as a forward one year, again I didn't find scoring to be the difficult part (not that I scored that much!), it was trying to manufacture a situation where I put myself in a position to score. And on the rare occasions I found myself in a goalscoring position I tended to take my point as placing a shot past a keeper wasn't a major strength of mine.

    In a one on one situation, the pressure is on the forward. I loved one on one's as a keeper but hated them as a forward.
