No doubt that Willie could have done better at the goal but I didn't hear him shout for it and there were a few of our players directly in front of him at the near post who seemed hesitant when perhaps one of them should have got their head on it. Muir's form has been great recently - what about his early save? - and he's won us key points but now folk want him dropped after one mistake. Such a fickle bunch after one defeat to the best team in the league. Overall I can't complain about the result. I can only remember Sal having a shot on target. The keeper's fumble and subsequent challenge was a stonewall penalty though and would have made things a bit more interesting . Agree that Bell could have played for the strollers to give him game time. My criticism of Willie on six yard box performance goes back two seasons, not just one game. He just does not command this area. As you said he was not heard shouting for that ball. He should have been in my opinion. He slapped a cross against Cowdenbeath which resulted in them hitting the post and his performance against Kilmarnock was less than impressive in that area on at least two occasions. Admittedly these did not have any material difference on the game. As has been said he is a first class shot stopper and indeed has recently had some excellent game saving saves but in truth that is what a goalkeeper is there for. I feel his weaknesses could be coached out of him to a point but his natural instinct on a cross ball is caution. I would like to see him braver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Wullie Muir - I've seen goalies in the English Premier on probably £500,000 plus a year make worse mistakes in the last couple of weeks than I've ever seen Wullie make. Let's get things into perspective. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Having just watched the highlights, that's pretty much two stonewallers we were denied as I thought at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
