[Tangled up in blue.]

Should always cover the near post from a corner

 

[Shaffer92]

No, he wasn't covering his near post

lmao do you want him hugging the post leaving 95% of the goal open? It was a brilliant finish that hit the very inside of the post. here it is again, have another look..

He doesn’t know which is his near post when a corner comes in.

He knows which side the corner is on

He knows which side the is on

So if the ball goes to the far post, he can’t save anything because he’s covering his near post, just in case?

Keepers have to be in the middle of their goals for corners.

He’s about 75% towards the near post!

There‘s literally nothing more he could do unless he was a cat!

Sorry I don't agree

Fair enough.. your opinion

but a keeper never stands on the near post for a corner and it was in the back of the net in a flash from the corner as much in the corner of the net as it is possible

Big win! Way to fight and stay ahead but boy was it one scary second half.

Think Ederson should have done better with their goal

In off the post..... there's lots of goals where we think he should have saved shots, but not that tonight

I thought he was slow to react, plus why was there no defender on the goal line

Defenders on the posts stopped around 10 years back.

This was our first goal conceded from a set piece this season.

I think we generally do ok.
