But they punch it maybe if it was hit hard but not like that there was little force it just bad mistake unfortunately our plsyers making like habits nowI have noticed over the years that goalkeepers punch the ball away more than in the past, So when they need to catch the ball they are not very good at catching the ball and you tend to get more fumbles,
I mentioned this before in a post and was told that the ball moves around more than they used to in my mind that means you should get more practice at catching the ball so you can do both punch the ball and or catch it.
