A server or striker can now be brought in to shoot towards the pole at the back post (the post resembles a realistic far post shooting location but allows the goalkeeper a good chance to save the ball).
The Goalkeeper must start at the front post, move across his goalmouth and save the ball. If the goalkeeper does not push off he should still be praised for saving the ball but the GK can be moved further towards the near post or the striker can be made more central. This can be made realistic by a player passing the ball to the striker from the by line.

Catch the ball using W-shaped hands.
Land on the side
If the player lands on their front, they often tend to be reaching for the ball with the non-leading hand.
