Kiwior has never been good enough but at least in a settled back 4 you can hide him and get through a game. This just puts him in the crosshairs and it’s not pretty.

The issue isn't the initial mistake, all defenders can miss a header. What's criminal is his woeful attempt at putting off the striker. He's nowhere near strong enough and doesn't do anything to close the angle. He plays like he is a 5'7, 9 stone CB and shows zero aggression
Little reactionary for me there personally. Seen both Saliba & Gabriel make those type of mistakes before. Think he's a good enough squad player & doesn't require hiding.
The last few weeks I have found your tweets a bit OTT. Kiwior has performed fine. He made 1 mistake so far.. a bit of a howler. But this seems an exaggeration.
Certainly a huge step down from Gabi. And if fit, I think Calafiori plays ahead of him when TKB is unavailable. But for a third choice left sided CB he is fine.
We are unfortunate that injuries have meant Timber and Calafiori can't back up those positions, but personally I'd rather us look to move on and find another 2nd / 3rd choice. We could afford to go young with Tomi, Cala and Timber all capable (if ever fit)
Not fair to blame the guy that hardly gets regular games. I think he could be decent it he god regular games. Most defenders would struggle with Mateta.
Can’t really legislate for what he just did. That was as cut and dry an individual error as you’ll see. Got a lot of time for Kiwior but that was woeful.

I think that's unfair and uncharitable.
Liverpool equaliser, Fulham goal and now this
he seems to always settle after making the goal-costing mistake tho 😂
