Liverpool faced Manchester City in the semi-final of the FA Cup last season, winning by three goals to two. The second goal scored by the Reds in particular offered an insight into the importance of a capable ball-playing goalkeeper, especially when facing opponents who are willing to press.
On the 16th minute, John Stones had possession of the ball on the edge of his own defensive third. He attracted attention from Jurgen Klopp's attackers and passed the ball backwards to Zack Steffen, who was playing in place of Ederson.
Unlike the Brazilian goalkeeper, Steffen isn't completely at ease with the ball at his feet. The American controlled Stones' pass but took too long to release possession, allowing Sadio Mane to tackle him while scoring a goal in the process.
