When should you use goalkeeper movement?
Goalkeeper movement is somewhat of an art form at times, it becomes a bit of mental warfare between both players as you will both be second guessing each other.

A very basic guideline for moving the goalkeeper is that if you have an attacker bearing down one on one with the goalkeeper, it is more beneficial to pick a side where you think he will go and move the goalkeeper than simply leaving him in the middle of the net.

In the example below, the attacker has the whole goal to aim at and could comfortable pick either side and score, however by predicting the side you think he is going to shoot to, this will increase your chances of saving the shot, the attacker could shoot the opposite side for an easy goal so be sure not to move too early to give away where you plan to move to.

There are so many different variables for goalkeeper movement, which range from predicting the opponents shots to baiting your own goalkeeper movement, this is simply a skill that will require a lot of in game practice and learning.
