It’s number 23(?) that’s just given up completely marking Pukki and gave him a free shot at goal. Usual weak wrist attempt at a save let the ball go through him but he wasn’t really in the the ‘wrong’ place to save it. He’s just an awful goalkeeper in general though, there’s zero communication with his defence. Edited April 7, 2021 by Ibrahim Tall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's covering his front post yes, but is over covering it to the complete detriment of the rest of his goal. All you need to do is cut it inside to an attacker and as long as he's got an ounce of composure it's a goal. It's impossible to get from his starting position 1yd beyond his front post to one where he can comfortably cover the rest of his goal in the time it takes for a winger to snap the ball into the box. Rangers scored three of their five goals in the 5-0 game doing just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To an extent I’d agree but the holograms positioning doesn’t even come into the equation if Sarr doesn’t completely abandon Pukki, if he’d actually stuck to marking him the cutback wasn’t even on: 12 hours ago, Batistuta87 said: He had literally no one to even watch the run of and still lost him completely.

Check the positioning while the other team is attacking from a wide area.... All demonstrating my point about him being past his front post... ****ing shocking 😂: These strikers waiting in the middle must have been screaming for the cut back because he can't possibly (and frequently didn't - a lot of the above scenarios resulted in goals) get across fast enough to prevent an open goal situation.... That's actually quite eye opening - hadn't noticed that before 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of players in Cantwells position are going to cross the ball and it leaves an empty net. Pukki never even struck it well and it beat him haha.

Captain Sausage Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 He’s probably the worst player I’ve seen in a Hearts top. The fact Stendel continued to play him, even after seeing just how poor he was, still amazes me to this day. The Sunday league comment is spot on. He’s the keeper you would watch in the warm up and think ‘I’m shooting from anywhere, if it’s in target it’s in.’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boag1874 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I don't think it's too much of a reach to say he's the worst keeper (maybe even the worst player) to ever play in the top league in Scotland. Definitely the worst to ever play for Hearts at the very least. It was like having to put an outfield player in goals because the keeper had been red carded . The whole team was poor that season but I'd say his continued selection is at least 75% of the reason we went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Every time the hologram is discussed I mention this, but only because I still laugh/shudder at it. The Man Utd website bio had him down as "The outstanding Portuguese goalkeeper of his generation ". Wouldn't surprise me if he was a front for some money laundering operation. Was certainly a goal launderer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
