Christ almighty, look at two things - where the ball was flicked on & how many players were between DDG & this spot. Both completed negated DDG’s ability to collect / punch the ball. Common sense dictates this even before understanding the play.
He could try re
This was not a cross a keeper can claim easily. The whole issue is where the ball was flicked, it’s to the near side of the fecking near post. If you think that it should be in a top GK’s repertoire to attempt a save like that, you are showing you know nothing of the position at a high level & need to stop embarrassing yourself. DDG is not a good cross claiming keeper, there’s no debate there. He doesn’t have the physique for it, he misjudged mid goal or far post ball flights, & he punches incorrectly, but he’s not at fault for a near post flick over six yards away from him.
I agree that it's a great ball in and preventing a goal there would be hard.
My point is, at least try.
Watch it again and tell me how any single action he does could have prevented a goal.
He does nothing apart from, if anything,move away from the ball.
It's happening all the time and how people can't see how much this is costing us is the biggest mystery I've ever encountered in 30 years of watching football.
