I wouldn't criticize him for the free kick. He was awful with the ball at his feet though. That's where I was disappointed, I understand he's a keeper and he has a better weak foot than I do. However, he was indecisive with the ball on his foot and booted it out of bounds way too much for my liking. The game now, in my opinion, requires a keeper who can play with the ball on the ground to an extent. It's just the way it has evolved.
I will say though, the back 4 did him no favors when they played back to him in my opinion. Just bad, slow, telegraphed passes so he had an attacker coming at him full steam. So perhaps it was exaggerated in that game.
