don't be ridiculous, there is no way a keeper saves a header from an inswinging corner that goes in at the far post. Akpom let the Hull player go for a free header and he bulletted itAgree with all that. Why is nobody talking about his role in Hull’s goal though? Worst goalkeeping I’ve seen in a while.

Keepers are taught to clear space around them so they can have a clear sight of the ball or come out and punch if it's front post. That's why he was pushing their player. It's completely normal. His positioning was also correct near front post. I'd say that defensively someone should be between the Keeper and their front post player to protect the keeper, and their player shouldn't be able to have a free header from a corner.You can’t be serious?
He’s wrestling with the Hull player in front of him and didn’t realise the ball was heading his way until it was past him.
Might not have saved it anyway but shocking lack of concentration.
Agree with everything you’ve said, but he has to stop pushing the man when the ball comes over from the corner and at least try and make a save. You can see from his reaction he was surprised the ball had gone past him.Keepers are taught to clear space around them so they can have a clear sight of the ball or come out and punch if it's front post.

He wouldn't have saved it, I doubt any keeper would.
I agree he was taken by surprise, but it really wasn’t the worst goalkeeping seen in some time. It was a goalkeeper exposed by crap defending and needing a worldie to make a save.Agree with everything you’ve said, but he has to stop pushing the man when the ball comes over from the corner and at least try and make a save.

It would have been a top class save, but maybe could have been made if he’d been watching. The ball actually wasn’t that far from him.
Agree marking was shocking though.
Ok, maybe I exaggerated, but a keeper shouldn’t be taken by surprise about whether a corner has been taken.I agree he was taken by surprise, but it really wasn’t the worst goalkeeping seen in some time. It was a goalkeeper exposed by crap defending and needing a worldie to make a save.
No I agree but Ive seen free kicks given for what the Hull player was doing in trying to block Steffen with no eyes on the ball. And I wouldn't let it cloud what was otherwise another solid performanceOk, maybe I exaggerated, but a keeper shouldn’t be taken by surprise about whether a corner has been taken.
Agree with you on that. The way we set up at that corner was diabolical. Giles was left to watch 2 attackers, one on his own at the far post and the one that moved in front of Steffen as the corner was taken, Giles let the man go that moved to distract Steffen as he knew of the guy at the back post.No I agree but Ive seen free kicks given for what the Hull player was doing in trying to block Steffen with no eyes on the ball.

Agree, I clearly blame him more than most for the goal, but overall last night he was excellent. As he has been in most games recently.No I agree but Ive seen free kicks given for what the Hull player was doing in trying to block Steffen with no eyes on the ball.
