And then watch it back In real time mate, he gets nudged as he tries to reset after Gigi completely fails to clear it and momentarily touches the post. maybe he could have been a little bit stronger in there but the fault lies with the player on the front post and of course we weren't helped by the linesman who just have given offside.
Why make an excuse for that though mate, ignore Gini and look at Migs' involvement in the move from then on. A real keeper steps in front of the player giving the attacker nobody to pass to and no angle to shoot from, it's relatively simple.
His involvement prior to that was to punch a relatively simple shot, that he could have caught, straight out for a corner. The first goal is scored from a header within our 6 yard box 3 or 4 yards out. The cross came from a corner, Migs couldn't react enough to catch a ball which was eventually headed 3 yards from him? It also hit him and still went in.
2nd goal he's glued to his line again, he was irrelevant.
He also managed to come out and shout "keeper's" only to fumble the ball and allow it to bounce, thankfully to no danger but it was terrible keeping. He also should have caught a cross from behind a striker which through unknown inability to jump he couldn't get high enough to catch. Just imagine standing behind someone and trying to catch a high lofted ball to their head, should that be a simple task for a keeper? It should but Simon had to punch this ball, which led directly to the shot which he then punched out for the corner which led to the goal.
Oh he also managed to kick the ball straight out of play.
Finally he managed to roll the ball directly to the opposition.
Overall I thought it was one of the worst displays by a goal-keeper I've witnessed, only previous sh*t shows by Migs manage to top it. He's a liability, him and Lovren as a combination is like getting two balloons and rubbing them together only friction is substituted for nerves. Slowly the nerves build up between them, small mistake becomes big and then boom one of them just freaks out and does a classic that by now none of us are at all surprised about, in fact you're so accustomed to it you're actually defending the above.
Mind-blowing how he's still our keeper.
