Sels made some great stops yesterday. But he should have saved Bruno’s shot, no? 
 

Seemed to collapse under it, we all know Bruno doesn’t hit the ball particularly hard and it was nowhere near the corner. 

 

He didn't exactly make himself 'big' and his dive wasn't great but I wouldn't say it was poor goalkeeping. I reckon a top keeper saves it though.

It looped up and down as well, I think he just couldn't reach high enough up to his left. It would've been one of the best saves ever if he'd pushed it over. From what I remember anyway.

I think Pope saves it, TBH.  For all that he makes some awkward, unconventional looking stops.  He is usually good at keeping the ball out the net.

Nah.  There is a replay on the official insta account that shows how poor his dive is, IMO.

 

Not that I care.  It's a great strike and I'm glad he didn't get much spring in his dive and it looped over him

It was a little bit like Almiron against Everton I think.

Sure I saw @Kid Icarus around 12ish outside shearers. 

 

Must have been one of my gorgeous doppelgangers. I was at home assembling a bathroom unit

I thought the same as well. I assumed it went in the corner, but on the replay it wasn't really that far off centre. 

 

But given he stopped about 3 other certain goals I guess he can be allowed that one. 

[Dr.Spaceman]

Rob Elliot wouldn't have saved it, that's for sure

Save against Tonali’s lob was exceptional.

The Thiaw one for me. Sure goal every day of the week and gets a limb in the way.

Bit tough blaming Sels for Bruno’s goal, like. If you want to be picky you could say he was too far off his line but remember that Burn and then Bruno were advancing fast towards the box. Sels got nowhere near it - great strike for me.

That’s a very generous description.

To be fair to the players and GK’s in particular for those not in attendance the wind was blowing a gale, that first half in particular.
