Some football observers might say the same thing or even have a different assessment of how we see a goalkeeper in this modern era of football. Yes, we can't force our views to be the same as others, especialy since this is just an assessment from different perspectives but with the same goal in my opinion.
Yes I also said it requires support from other plyers, especially with players who have close proximity to them, yes in this case we will certainly talk about defensive players. We can't just look at one player, we have to look at all the players who move to create a good pass.
Modern goalkeepers will still need to have excellent saving skills because clubs need saving skills most from a goalkeeper. It's hard to find goalkeepers like Ederson (Manchester City) or Becker (Liverpool) who can make key passes for attacking players. Requiring and letting goalkeepers use their legs too much will create more chances for mistakes. Manuel Neur is a pioneer for modern goalkeeper but if we notice, he made some terrible mistakes because he was over confident and overused his legs.
Making a good save is not different than scoring a goal for a team and goalkeeper rather than trying to make too many passes, can contribute to the club by making as many saves as possible to block opponent attacks and shots.
I would say that there is a good amount of doing that, but if you do it way too much then you become like Neuer, if you do not do it at all then you are not going to be good at all. Most goalkeepers even today do not look for passing skills, they tend to be focusing way too much on just the saving bit of the goalkeeper but that is no longer enough, much more is expected of the goalkeeper but that is for the higher level of teams.
No team that is going for relegation requires a goalkeeper that is good at passing, they are already playing from behind and almost all the time trying not to get scored on too much and most their players are at defense, so goalkeeper doesn't require that. When you think about it, this will be different situation.
