well well well 2 nil Arsenal. Liverpool is rel shit then.
Rena get beaten with pace.
He sure did.....and as much as ah see he feelin' bad about it and ah glad to see liverpool and dey fans suffer, ah hadda kinda defend de fella....GK's of any height have dat lil' "blind spot" where the ball will creep under yuh where yuh hands cyah reach if yuh can't get your body down behind the ball fast enough.....yuh could see the ball hit his elbow......rel hard before in fly een de net. These past few years liverpool really lookin' like a team outta place.....like Oliver Twist crash a party in Richie Rich house.....Chelsea better doh take no shit from dis shit side this year nuh!
Oh please..
Any ball low and hard close to yuh body like that is an easy save with feet once yuh cut out the angle. After all it had nowhere else for Cazorla to put the ball other than square back on top of the box.
For a supposedly top class goalkeeper, that was a stupid goal to concede and I'm sure he himself would admit that. There is no excusing that.
Nobody sayin' reina wouldn't be feeling disappointed....GK's does try to use their feet to kick-save and miss same way too so there's no guarantee he was saving it with his feet if he tried....I am merely pointing out that once he decided he was going to drop his body behind the ball (and not use his feet to kick at it) he was a little slow getting down and inherently doomed because of where the ball passed under him that his hands weren't of better use to him. If reina was a little quicker getting down or that ball was about a foot further to his left, we would not be having this discussion. Also, you are terribly mistaken if you think that cazorla's options were as limited as you claimed. Even in spite of the defender bearing down on him, he coulda slammed the ball further into the last post than he put it, top or bottom corner or he coulda slap it in the top near corner.
With all due respect dread, yuh talking some lala there..
I might be a jokey fete match keeper, but i know that there are some simple basics which Reina got totally wrong on that one.
There is a way to approach certain situations and cover certain angles to give for a keeper to give himself the best possible chance of blocking a shot. From the angle that Cazorla came in shooting on the left foot across his body, the approach needed for that situation is to step forward to cover the near post and reduce the far post angle as much as possible. I thought Reina shoulda step forward a little bit more even though he had it fairly well covered. I even thought he couldve stepped forward more on the Podolski goal which was scored from a similar position.
Once Reina gets into the right position he limits Cazorla's options to scoring through his legs or it has to be a very precise shot to get it inside the far post. Only other way Cazorla scoring is by doing something miraculous like roofing it at extreme pace in the near post Vs. All of these are low percentage options.
My main point is that Reina's decision to go down with hands was totally the wrong one. You can't say well once he decided to use his hands etc..... that is a decision making error from jump. If he is in the correct position, then any low shot is within reach using a foot save. By going down for it, he sacrificed the weak spot near his feet and let himself get beaten for pace.
These guys are top class keepers and it have no hard luck in it. Just the fact that you willing to concede that Reina would be disappointed with that is an admission that it was a frankoment goalkeeping error.
