Definitely agree. Dunbavin is a very good 'shot stopper', but he never commands his area. The ball landed inside the six yard box and I would expect a goalkeeper to control the area that close to goal.

The knock on effect is that defenders aren't sure what to do when the ball is played in like that. It causes hesitation and indecision, which is what happened yesterday. A good 'keeper controls the area and that gives confidence to the defence.
