If you are over relying on your goalkeeper, you have issues elsewhere. A competent goalkeeper should be up to speed and just follow whatever tactics the Manager has for the game. Unless he’s got Andy Woodman tendencies, then you may need a back to basics approach…….A goalkeeping coach is essential. They study teams penalties etc and feed info back to the GK. They also do separate training sessions depending on the next teams set pieces.
I agree it seems surplus to requirements however in the modern day it's an essential position.
