Ranking Goalkeepers with Asmir Begovic
The Rank Squad has a new No.1! Sam Tighe (@brsamtighe), Dean Jones (@deanjonesbr) and Jack Collins (@jjwc) are joined by Premier League winner and famously safe pair of hands, Mr. Asmir Begovic, to talk all things goalkeeping. We kick off with Asmir letting us know his pet peeve myths about goalkeeping - not getting credit for penalty saves (18:54), the stigma of being beaten at the near post (26:16), and having 'nothing to do' (30:29) - before moving on to ranking who he believes to be the best goalkeepers in the world right now (33:29).
Roulette returns, asking which ways you'd want to be unveiled as a new signing (44:17), and whether Huddersfield Town would have survived in the Premier League if they had been allowed to field two goalkeepers last season (46:35); before Asmir ranks his favourite sports outside of football (48:14) and talks about what it was like to score as a goalkeeper (50:04).
Before we get into that though, Hot Takes sees Sam furious with the continual disrespect towards Roberto Firmino, fuelled by his FIFA 20 rating (02:39); Dean discussing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's future and how his job is already under threat (06:18); and Jack gets emotional about the fact that the international break doesn't get the love it deserves (09:52). Then, finally, Dean gives out the second ever Melon of the Week award (13:53).
