I'm not saying he's small, he's just smaller than the guys he's going up against. he gives a good 5-10 cm to the opponents. And it comes down to there being not much help from defense on them. United are just shit in the air at both ends. It doesn't matter who they bring in as a set piece coach, results don't change.
Even if he was small, none of that is a reason to be standing completely still and rooted to his spot on a header where the attacker was moving backwards from 10 yards out.

Eh, he wouldn't have reached that header anyway, it was perfectly placed and looping high. The problem was Zirkzee's marking on that setpiece. Schmeichel didn't say anything about the keeper in the studio.

I’m not saying he should make the save, I’m saying he should be at least moving towards the ball in an attempt to make it.

There’s been multiple times this year where he’s doing the same thing on clean shots. It’s one thing when it happens on a deflection where you lean one way and then it gets deflected the other so you’re still because you’re basically off balance trying to change direction, but on a clean shot you should at least be moving towards the ball when it’s on target basically every time.

Spurs always bring their A game against LFC. Not a full on kryptonite but I expect them to compete very hard.
