He didn't concede. It doesn't matter if it hit the post or got cleared. That's part of the game. We don't judge other keepers with the goals they could have conceded.
He was atrocious v Villa. He's been awful in other games too. Equally, he has played some good games.
They were all atrocious at Villa. Gomez did him no favours for the opening goal, he went to go for the ball, then decided to change his mind, giving the scorer the time and space he needed to score the opener. Also 3 deflected goals in the same game is very rare, especially against the same team.
If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.
