I've watched it a few times and still not sure what you mean. The ball ended up high in the net, he'd have to be 6'8" to be straight at him. Retegui's basically point blank in the six yard box when he heads it.
I agree with the feeling about him not being commanding or making right decisions around the area. Different keepers do different things. I don't like this modern style of keepers, personally. It's like goalkeeping is only 50% of what they are expected to do. You see the same with defenders who need to dribble and pass and they are worse at actual defending than years gone by.
I don't agree with the apparently absurdly high standards his shot stopping is supposed to be, like we signed the next Yashin for "25m". He's getting blamed for goals that I'd be surprised if any keeper could save. Really weird, even ignoring the obvious hyperbole. But I suppose everyone becomes a target when you're struggling.

I don't think you can keep saying "25m" and "4 goalies" and then act exasperated that not everyone shares the same opinion as your pure facts lol. It's not about intelligence, just differing views. Mine is that I'm not totally convinced by him, and I'm not by many players we have signed so far, but I don't think that's really a surprise when the team is struggling. You have your style and I have mine, only you know when you're being serious.
He just looks like he isnt confident...the defense is disorganised, and vulnerable...anything that comes in from a cross isnt defended properly. You can just see forwards find the space they want and you see our defenders out of position. It is a shitshow down back. Not saying DG is great and shouldnt be doing better, there have been times where he should be flying at some of these crosses and he isnt...but everyone knows when you have uncapable shit defense in front you as a keeper...it fucks with them.
