    Cracking finish from the Astana boy. Gordon might have headed it out wide but I think he has made far worse mistakes than in this particular case.

    Aye he's a big *.

    Overrated SPL keeper, extremely lucky to have had the chance to play in the EPL and then for us.

    He could easily cost us CL qualification. I'd take Bailly/Fasan ahead of him until we can get a better replacement. They both seem to have a bit of cocksuredness about them that a Keeper needs. Gordon certainly does not.

    No blame for the goal, 99 times out of a 100 that's a great clearance

    Got away with one no doubt, their goal though, from the view i had, he looked totally desserted and left with no choice to come out and actually did 'ok', then again left with absolutely no * back up what so ever. Don't think he's good enough though, corners are a joke but i don't think the goal was his fault.

    I actually cannot believe folk are trying to remove any blame from him.

    It was his fault, he was out his box, did what any professional footballer is told not to do in going straight ahead and wasn't in his goal to save the ball. His one and only job as a goalkeeper.

    He made a mistake, but it was also a tough break. We shouldn't be thinking of punting but we should probably start making plans for next season...

    It's not as black and white as you might think imo.
    He made a desicion to come and clear, he did that, our midfield screwed the pooch, couldn't keep the baw then yer man fires a * one in a million shot into the top right bin, almost, from about 30-35 yards.
    Fine margins, so to speak. If there's blame to be had its more collective, in this case, than one persons fault.
    He IS a good keeper and he's served us well the vast majority of the time. I think it is fair to say that in high pressure situations, maybe his desicion making could be better at times; but, for every clanged there have been far more good, even brilliant moments from Craig overall.

    Check this out from Gordon at 1.50.00. Face palm stuff. * Flappy Bird it's near enough every game from him as well.

    After a CM or 2, GK should be the next position to be replaced. Apart from the fact that he isn't the most solid of keeper he's also 34 this year and should be looking for someone else anyways.
