    Looked extremely nervous throughout, I've got no idea what he was thinking for the third goal, it's genuinely the first time I've ever seen a goalkeeper drop his hands and try go with his back.

    He should have done better at the second and (maybe slightly harsh) the first where he actually dived over the top of the ball. Few nervy moments too where we got quite lucky and his kicking was poor throughout.

    Pulled it back with a couple of good penalty saves but on yesterday's basis he's quite clearly not the answer.

    No, I don't think he could have done much better. I was just impressed he dived, which you don't often see these days from our keepers.

    Definitely nerves played a part. He does need to sort that out. For me he's worth persevering with whilst also exploring options for January.

    He’s not good enough to be our keeper IMO.

    Whether he can become good enough is a different question and fairly irrelevant to be honest.

    Celtic don’t have time to develop a keeper and we never will. That’s a luxury small clubs have.

    Seems to me to be a decent third choice, potentially he could be loaned out, but it’s a scandal he’s starting games for us in the 10 season.

    Shows how far we’ve fallen that it’s barely controversial. Lennon has returned us to 2010-2011, where he’s comfortable.

    Bit of a flappy * but a good strong shot stopper.
    Reminiscent of Forster at the start. Let's hope he turns out half as good.

    Do you remember how pish Forrester was? This guys going to be qaulity. We cant afford anything else than to develop him. Teams are now paying £70m for keepers like we used to get.

    So you’re quite literally saying play a pish goalie because we played a pish goalie for 2 years while we were losers and he came good? * logic is that?

    We’re not a * championship club executing a 5 year plan to become premier league whipping boys ffs.

    This is the problem. It’s not 2010 anymore. We don’t need to let the huns win 3 titles while we develop players and let a poor manager try and get something to work.

    If you want to let them win everything and get humiliated in Europe in the hope Hazard becomes a world beater in 2-3 years that’s up to you. I personally don’t see why that’s necessary or the right path.

    Im sorry, but the two saves in the Pens defo covered up what to me was a shaky performance.

    The first goal, no chance, the second he was definetly fouled, but the third he has to put his hand up and admit six foot five should not be getting at least a fist on that cross.

    And then there were the two headless chicken moments getting caught in no mans land with Naysmith getting a touch first. Then the back header from Moi where again he flapped at it.

    He may well end up a decent keeper, but most certainly ATM better than the two others. Its sentiment that he kept his place, and also I feel Lennons stubborness.

    He admitted the 3rd was his fault in the post match interview.

    He also bailed out the 2 "experienced" CBs when they had a Charlie Chaplin moment.

    Fair * to Hazard. His dream cup final turned sour after we allowed Hearts back into the game and he had a few shaky moments as a result of the pressure they were putting on us. To turn that around and pull off two saves during the penalties was a tremendous effort. He isn't the answer for this season though and the goalkeeping position needs to be looked at urgently, as the Huns would have had a field day against him yesterday and that wouldn't have been solely his fault. Duffy and Julien had Caldwell's boots on evidently.

    Just echoing what a lot of others are saying but his performance yesterday made it clear that he’s not going to be the answer going forward. The two penalty saves are great and it’s something us lot can only dream of doing, no one can take that moment away from him, however, that third was absolutely bizarre, needs to be claiming that ball with both hands! A keeper is/should be top priority going into January. That said, well done to the guy.

    Mental how people claim he’s the answer after a couple of games when he’s had nothing to do.

    Bring on the monumental pressure on his shoulders.

    He’s a good keeper, one who could be at the club for a very long time. Whether that’s as #1 or #2, not sure. But let’s not expect too much from him. I think next season would be the one to give him a run, not this one.

    At fault for all three goals, flaps at everything. The only thing that saved him being absolutely roasted is he made up for his errors in saving spot kicks.

    He’s definitely not the answer.

    Agree.
    But he has had a moment that will live with him forever, basically winning us the cup.
    But not the answer, reckon he kicked ball into touch about 5 times.

    pretty obvious to me that there's something drastically wrong with the goal keeper coaching if there's 3 keepers at the club that are incapable of holding there place.
    Woods was fine putting decent keepers through there paces during training sessions namely ,Gordon and Forster but developing them seems a problem .
    He's had Bain and hazard here for a number of years but neither look compitent or confident , he also must have been involved in bringing Bain and Barkas in too. He seems to be getting away with it unscathed
