Because in the 2nd half they had 3 corners and didn't put a man fouling Vic. They left him to it. That's why he caught the ballI just feel the reason he is being targeted is because he doesn’t punch or catch the ball and regularly ends up palming it back into the six yard box.
I’m just asking myself why teams are doing this to us and being successful whilst pretty much every other goalkeeper seems to be able to cope.
He looked way more proactive in the second half and caught a lot of the balls and it made a difference IMO.
It was a foul, 100%. It's very hard to "be stronger " when you are reaching up and someone pushes lower on the torso like he did.
Next time we meed to just stick a player in between the two to protect Vic
Create spqce for himself, to be fsir though, this one is more about being blocked off his movement, i cant post videos from my phome because id show you exactly how to deal with it to create spaceMy question for all those “Vic needs to be stronger” folks: What exactly would you have him do?
If he shoves Harrison away with any actual force, he risks giving away a penalty.
IMHO there needs to be clarity on the rules. How “entitled” is a keeper to come claim a ball that is well within reach? If the answer is “not at all,” then to what lengths can the keeper go to get the ball when being impeded by an opposing player WHO HAS NO INTENTION OF PLAYING THE BALL!?!”
The ones he caught 2nd half were all far post and he was able to travel back to catch. After the goal the ref strangely started to give fouls so I think it may be why Everton stopped impeding him 2nd half.I just feel the reason he is being targeted is because he doesn’t punch or catch the ball and regularly ends up palming it back into the six yard box.

I did t understand why we didn’t do it on our very next corner. Highlight the hypocrisy and inconsistencyI think we should adopt the tactic on corners but against every opposition player. If it's not a foul on the 'keeper then that's perfectly fine, right?
The FA would be rewriting the rules before the final whistle was blown to expressly prohibit it.
How would you shield the ball without using your body or arms?It is actually obstruction when you shepherd the ball out - if you are not in position to play the ball.
Per the laws of the game:
IMPEDING THE PROGRESS OF AN OPPONENT WITHOUT CONTACT
Impeding the progress of an opponent means moving into the opponent’s path to obstruct, block, slow down or force a change of direction when the ball is not within playing distance of either player.
All players have a right to their position on the field of play; being in the way of an opponent is not the same as moving into the way of an opponent.
A player may shield the ball by taking a position between an opponent and the ball if the ball is within playing distance and the opponent is not held off with the arms or body. If the ball is within playing distance, the player may be fairly charged by an opponent.
The above would be an indirect kick - note that the players can line-up around the keeper, and as long as they don't move - that is not impeding, but if they move with the keeper - that should be an indirect free kick.
The below is defined as a direct kick:
- impedes an opponent with contact
I am sure refs would change their opinion on that had they been GKs
I do agree with this, but also can see why it wasnt given as well.I am sure refs would change their opinion on that had they been GKs
Wait, what? He doesn't think it was a foul because they did it more than once? That makes sense. Especially since it was called as a foul on one of those corners.
there still is but certainly not to the same degree. the other day Onana nearly decapitated a Wolves player and got away with it.For years there was a protection (some might say an over protection) on keepers and now suddenly without any explanation there isn't. A season or two ago, or even at the start of the season that would be a foul.
I'm talking strictly fouls on the keepers, not fouls by keepers. Last season slightly backing into a keeper for a goal would be deemed a foul. I don't remember anyone coming out saying they would be more lenient about it, they just started doing it randomly one day.there still is but certainly not to the same degree. the other day Onana nearly decapitated a Wolves player and got away with it.
I took that as he is now agreeing with everything you say and have ever said.A great and well reasoned response.
