Long Pass Accuracy

Combined with the ability to save shots, an increasingly important part of any goalkeeper’s role is how good they are with their feet. Most are capable when asked to pass short but long ball accuracy is a greater indicator of their technical ability.

In this area, Henderson comes out on top once more, with 60.06% of his passes reaching a teammate, compared to De Gea’s 54.3%.
