The questions, as with all keepers, will be -
1. How long can he maintain this level?
2. When his level does drop, will it be a gradual decline a la Buffon, or falling from a cliff like Casillas?
If he was operating at even 80% of what he is right now he would still be one of the World's best. His footwork is incredible. So often he shimmies across to catch a ball in his hands that most keepers have to dive for - it makes the save look less spectacular to a casual viewer, but it's precisely the sort of thing that makes him elite - much like Van Dijk almost never making a sliding tackle.
He'll still be world No1 when he's 50
