Craig Gordon

Before he realised it was offside he about to blame his defence. He made a total * of it.

 

Told what any professional footballer is told not to do? * sake. I'm assuming you've never played in goal at any decent level and have * all idea what you're talking about, either way you have * all idea what you're talking about. Goalkeepers are actively encouraged to always be on or around the edge of the box when the ball is in the oppositions half so if anything is floated over the top that the defence can't deal with they can act as a sweeper to mop things up, under that pressure and having to react as he did it's not exactly easy to place a header in a particular direction. You see the likes of Neuer and Lloris doing it all the time and they are very good at it and also among the best goalkeepers in the world. A goalie only has one job ffs you always try to talk with such authority but chat so much *.

 

To be fair looking at their goal there he had to come out for it and had to head it, in hindsight he should have headed it wide though, atleast then you narrow the angle if someones going to shoot.

 

What about him flapping at their offside goal?

 

Gordons been a good servant perhaps time to move on?

 

That was horrendous as was the one in the first leg but has * all to do with the second goal that he posted about.

 

Who am I? What does that matter? Yeah because it's always possible in every situation to clear the ball sideways There is a difference between practice and theory, you need to put the books down and start playing more.

Goalies only have one job

 

Times up, gets caught out too much in Europe which is far too counter-productive for us.

He literally couldn't save a video game.

 

Getting worse the older he gets. Time for a new goalie though I have to say it will be near impossible to get someone of Gordon's experience and quality.

 

Admit you know * all about being a goalie and are chatting * and we'll all get on with our lives. It's not defending the indefensible when it's more than reasonable to say that Gordon was left with no choice by the people in front of him to go for the ball, it happened so quick and the clearance wasn't good because of that, but again afterwards he was hung out to dry by his midfield. Was an unbelievable finish as well.

 

Then why do you want a new GK if you don't think we can get better than Gordon?

I'd shove Fasan in currently surely can't be any worse than the way Gordon is atm.

 

Isn't that obvious?

I think every fan wants Messi but we can't get him.

I agree though i'd shove Fasan in, seems to have been around forever but has never played. Must be decent if we've kept him on the books.

 

Re-watching the goal, tbh I don't know if its his fault. I don't know if he needs to come for it but I understand why he did. It looks like the Astana player has a break of the ball, and Gordon's trying to get thay either farther from where it ended up or to closer teammate. I don't blame Brown or Tierney either, I think this is just a one in a million goal that's tough to single out any poor play. I think Gordon's unlucky more than anything.

Still had a shocker tho, his kicking was as bad as I've ever seen it, was hoofing balls in * circles. If we want to play the way Rodgers wants to play we need a keeper whose a good distributor when it comes to relieving pressure on the back four and finding players in space to start attacks, and Gordon cannot do. We should be looking to upgrade the position.

 

For the goal it seemed to me like it was all he could do really was to sweep up. Not going to criticise him too much for that.

His kicking and throwing is terrible though.

 

Wouldn't mind Darren Randolph if we had to find someone else, but don't think there would be too many keepers that would be much of an improvement in our price range.

 

When we first got Gordon, like so many others, he played out his skin....but now he's being found out as being risky in a few crucial areas.....but when was the last time we had a goalie that commanded his area fully to the supporters satisfaction ?

Believe me when I say I'm not sticking up for Gordon at all but the last few keepers have all had deficiencies....it's more about when they have their * ups that count.

We need a better keeper who can handle the job, no doubt about it.
