Probably didn't want to risk closing the striker down, only to get rounded and concede a penalty and another red card.
There was about 3 defenders on Odemwingie's back. If he went any other direction other than forward he would have been tackled. Honestly, it's rule 1 of being a goalkeeper, as soon as the striker is free you close him down and make yourself big. There's no excuses for what he done, he looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights.
