    Made a couple of good saves as well, not the worst today but I still want better.

    Excellent save from Watt in the first half and a solid performance.

    He's so lazy with penalties you always no that unless he skies it over the ball it's gonna be a goal

    Agreed.
    He played well today. made some crucial saves.
    Goalkeepers can't win sometimes with the fans, they always get it in the neck.

    Keeps flying off his line to flap at crosses and allowing free headers at an empty net. Stay on your line, Craig, at least then you can attempt a save, you can't claim corsses to save your life.

    Terrible at pens as we know.

    Did make some solid saves too, but nothing I wouldn't expect a decent keeper to make.

    Didn't seem to get a smile/pat on the back from Rodgers at the end while the players nearby did, which is interesting. Might be reading too much into that though.

    But I think Rodgers is looking for someone (Vorm?) to take his place.

    Doesn't fill me with the confidence he once did but had a couple of good saves today....hopefully he will also get onto a better run of form under the new manager.

    Simply no good enough when the ball is played back. We can tell the way Rodgers plays his team needs to be comfortable using the keeper Gordon doesent fill me with confidence in they situations. Replacement needed.

    Yes a keeper will be top priority now imo.

    His distribution was actually a lot better today and he made some decent saves. Not his biggest fan at all but didn't do much wrong this afternoon.

    I thought he played well today in all honesty. Made a couple of blinding saves (simple my *!). All down to Toure settling the defence imo, Gordon lacks composure when under pressure but seemed more at ease today.

    As we gel, our injuries return and we strengthen I think he'll be judged less of a liability. Bear in mind we played one of our mist serious competition today and only conceded due to a ridiculous penalty decision. Not a bad thing to say about our defence and keeper

    Seems to be a very mixed analysis of his performance today. He really is awful at coming for crosses though and I'd like to see a new keeper in. Shame as I quite like the big Jambo * face.

    lol he does make an effort but if he goes the wrong way what the * is he supposed to do?? He seems to misjudge where the player is going to put the ball almost every time.

    Good game today but has this guy ever saved a penalty for us? He always looks as though he's made a half-arsed attempt at it while the taken runs away to celebrate.

    A bit harsh to criticise a non-penalty save, but every time we're faced with one I wonder 'will this be his day' and it never is.
