Konsa's pass wasn't that bad z Torres misjudged it and it bounced off his foot. Martinez has done that parry thing to a striker more than once this season.

He seemed to be in two minds, his shape was as if he was going to catch it, then he parried and because it wasn't very powerful it just dropped where it did. Misjudgement.

Konsas pass seemed to catch a dead bounce as Pau was expecting it to come across his body and it sort of skittered into his right knee.

The shot was weak and Martinez should have done much much better.

He’s made some great saves this season, and not just inconsequential ones but ones that have won us points. Conversely he’s also started getting stuff that should be basic wrong, and that’s cost us goals. Crosses under the bar and today’s goal come to mind. I think he probably nets out positive at the moment, but he needs to cut the sloppy stuff out.

I wonder what has happened with corners etc, I don't recall him previously being like this? Is it just the change with attackers being more aggressive and getting away with more that he doesn't know how to cope with?
It was a major strength of his game dominance in the air.  I feel like now he doesn't concentrate and is busy wrestling players and expecting to be given soft fouls.

He didn't parry it, he dropped it, he dropped what should have been a straightforward collection of a feeble shot because he was intent on making it look like he'd made a spectacular save.

You could argue that point and I wouldn't argue.
