#Ramsdale played well today & could’ve earned #SUFC a point on another day but the #Walker goal exposed a weaknesses in his game.
His pre-shot routine often makes saves much harder.
He’s initially in a good position & is set but then he jumps up & swings his arms backwards.

He’s initially in a good position & is set but then he jumps up & swings his arms backwards.
The jump means he can’t take a power step pre-dive & thus means he will always struggle to get across to shots right in the corner.
For this shot this doesn’t matter too much as the shot is within a negative step dive reach but potentially it is something to look out for.

The arm swing means that for fast shots his hands will often be behind his body & thus will not be aligned with his body weight, this means it will be harder for #Ramsdale to generate the power to tip such shots around the post.
For this shot this is exactly what happens.

Hopefully this is not too deeply ingrained into #Ramsdale’s game & can be corrected or maybe in future #Ramsdale can just time his pre shor routine better, otherwise he will consistently make saves harder for himself & that will likely cost #SheffieldUnited goals.
