Imagine a situation where the attacker is very close and dribbling. If, in the future, defenders get nerfed and dribblers get buffed, the goalkeeper would become almost helpless in close 1v1 situations.
To balance this, I would recommend adding a real-life inspired mechanic for goalkeepers: a quick foot block or poke, similar to how keepers stick out a leg in close-range duels. It would work like a tackle specifically for goalkeepers.
The current slide is too slow and often useless in these situations. A fast foot block would significantly buff the goalkeeper in close 1v1s without making shooting or dribbling useless, keeping the overall balance intact.
