What teams ask pre-game of keepers is the eqiuivalent of saying to Usain Bolt, "Okay guy you're warming up doin' a 50 metre flat-out against Gatlin, then we'll see how close you can get in a 400 to the British 4x100 women's team ....."
It's mental and it's organised by former goalkeepers too. I think it is kind of a showcase by the goalkeeping coach to show what he does all week. Otherwise that dropped cross that leads to a 75th minute equalizer is all the fans see. And they might conclude the goalkeeping coach is a waste of time and money ......... and looking around the English game they'd be so right.
