Absolutely. He was already being booked for the foul and the ref was letting them take it quickly, if Boyle stops that I’ve no doubt he’d have been sent off. Ref ended up a right tosser.

Yet interestingly Richard Lee, UEFA B License holder and ex Pro goalkeeper, did suggest a degree of blame in his podcast.
I think that just proves that even among the more informed/qualified opinion can be split. If every fan only commented on that which they were fully qualified to talk about people's interest in football would disappear pretty quickly.
Out of interest, what were his observations on the keepers role in both goals?
For me he was out of position for the first, too close to his near post.
For the second I thought he could have taken the cross and that he was flat footed when the header came in.
Of course we can also mention giving the ball away, defenders not challenging, marking, stopping* crosses etc.
