Neville Southall was 6'1, Stek is 6'6. I know who'd rather have had.

Height can be an advantage of course, but ultimately a keeper's positioning is more important. I just want a boss keeper, whether they're 6ft or 7ft.

Can also be a disadvantage to stopping them getting down quickly to shots across the floor. That seems to be robles' main issue tbh, which is caused largely by his positioning. Some shots go top corner and not even the tallest keepers can stop them, whereas a smaller keeper with better positioning who can stop the ball before it rises and rises into the top corner are better equipped. Height is pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, as long as you're not 4ft 4".
