Committed but nowhere...
25 mins: Stoke nearly score again! A long cross from the right is nodded down by Crouch, with De Gea committed but nowhere, and Jones somehow gets in the way of Choupo-Moting’s shot!
(The Guardian's live football report.)
Is committed but nowhere an oxymoron and somewhat sarcastic in the comment above?
(Can you be committed being nowhere?)
Top answer
I gather that De Gea is the goalkeeper, right? "committed" means that he has made a decision about where to move to, or which way to dive, or that kind of thing, which he cannot now change. "nowhere" means nowhere near saving the ball (had it not been blocked by the other player).
