I think I'd say the opposite. Unless you're absolutely dominating games, then I think that extra quality between the sticks is important for winning the big prizes. The same as strikers really. At least keepers, of all standards, tend to be cheaper than strikers.
Edit: Funny, as soon as I pressed post I thought of Hart winning the league with City and Lehman with Arsenal... also Barthez winning World and European Cups. Strong support for your case, but I'm still not sure.
quality teams need quality keepers. Their involvement is normally much less, so they need to be mentally stronger, to maintain focus during the game, utilise a number of small drills during the game, and then when called upon, which might one save, it has to be made. And that can be the difference.
It still amazes me how many top flight keepers still don't do drills as play is ongoing elsewhere in the pitch. You'll never see it on TV, but top keepers, when their team is dominating, are doing little moves around the box, keeping focused and alert and on their toes.
You know the keepers who just stand planted on freekicks, or strikes? Arn't doing their little drills to keep focused and alert, so when they see that ball come last minute, their brain and body don't react, and they stand their looking stupid.
Pet hate as a former goalkeeper, keepers who just stand planted. Prominent goalkeeping coach told me that's how you tell a stupid goalkeeper

peter schmeichel was left planted on his feet a lot of times, probably one of the best goalkeeper's of all time 0 -

The tide is turning!
The day will come when we will be injury free.
Anyway glad to hear the DDG talks are going along nicely.
We need a strong performance this weekend.
Win and we are in a nice position again, anything less and we open the door a little.EVENFLOW

Alternatively, it's also how you tell the showy posers from the talented ones. The guys you are talking about are the sort that also fancy themselves as outfielders and that scream at the defence for their own mistakes.
Staying mentally alert has nothing to do with doing drills on the edge of the box.0 -
