Alvin Varghese
Undoubtably De Gea. Just look at his stats from last season. Buffon has BBC in front of him and Neuer has arguably the best defence in the world in front of him. Compare those defence with United’s defence and one would understand why I choose De Gea...
SK thinks: Come on Alvin. Are you telling me that Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo are not world class? Wow!

It has to be between Gianluigi Buffon , David De Gea , Manuel Neuer or may be Gianluigi Donarumma. But Neuer and Buffon have had solid defense in front of them while De Gea had Chris Smalling. He was the only reason Manchester United were not in the bottom half.So as an LFC fan it hurts to say but De Gea is the best . But Donarumma has talent to become the greatest of all time.

Never say never I choose Emanuel Nuer
SK thinks: Say whaaat? You chose whom?

Neuer is not tested enough I feel which is why most people will go for De Gea.. Bayern is so strong as a team that Neuer is often left untested.

Undoubtedly Buffon. At 40, he still has a lot of football left in him. Even during the Euros, Buffon put up a brilliant performance in the quarter-final against Germany during the penalty shootout as he guessed almost all of the spot kicks correctly but was let down on the other end by the penalty takers. De Gea ranks a close number 2 to Buffon currently but with time, he will sure be one of the best goalkeepers of all-time

Neuer is the best, some might argue that it is because he has a great defence in front of him but I would request them to actually see the saves and support Neuer provides the team with, he is not just stopping goals but is intimidating and not afraid to organise an attack from behind.

Keylor Navas- The penalty specialist. What a goalkeeper! Didn’t concede even a single goal until quarter finals in CL. Absolute class performances.
Keshav Narera
I think the SK team has gone mental. Including a midfielder in a best goalkeeper list. #Neuer
SK thinks: We are extremely sorry sir. We will make sure we do not repeat this mistake again.
Ayisi Franklin
Carlos Kameni of Malaga. He has been through three generations of goalkeeping and is still very performant.
Anurag Thakur
Howard because he is the Mr. Dependable of team USA And Everton.
SK thinks: Wait! If Howard is still at Everton who is that American dude between the posts for Colorado Rapids?
Usama Shaikh
Couldn't think of any Zlatan puns sorry
SK thinks: It’s all right Usama. There’s always next time.

In one on one situations and ball distribution-Neuer
Close range reflexes; especially ground shots- De Gea
Leadership,set pieces,organising defence- Buffon..
