To be 2-0 up would have been a good margin for the 2nd half.

What’s the point in being a sub keeper at Everton if you can’t displace that clown.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Sigurdsson and Doucoure have done well.

Rodriguez passing has been off but they’ve literally closed him down with two men whenever he gets near the ball.

Tim Howard just slammed Pickford on the stream I have.

Tim is better than him though. I’d take Tim over pickles now.

I agree Tim was much better than Pickford is. Just thought it was funny/awkward

These concede goals. They're just fighting more that we need to match.

Pickford needs binning. Lossl has earned the right to play IMO.

 

[NorthernBlue]

We're a very strange hybrid, right now: a combination of technical excellence and personality holed under the bow by incompetence and brainlessness. For every James pass, Doucoure cross or Mina intervention, there's an Iwobi tumbleweed moment and Pickford brainfart. I'll be honest: I don't think we can afford that this season and I very much doubt we'll get away with it today.

Pickford is in a trough of his own making, and I think it could be spiral now. Everyone has lost confidence in him. I have no faith in someone who says things like "I am mentally strong", let alone his performances.

Ancelotti might have to apply some classic Italian tactical nous to see this one through, but I fear we are fatally undermind.

Proper grim post this

Whatever happens in the second half, Pickford can’t start in the derby. Klopp will have them all over him. And he will oblige and we will see him punching the turf again

The turf should smack him one back and say stop hitting me cuz you're shoite.

When does Carlo finally make the decision to drop Pickford for a prolonged period of games

 

[Pabbers]

Who is the colombian keeper??

 

[rochdaleblue]

The difference Davies sideways and back and Iwobi sideways and back is having on the tempo of our game is there for all to see.

 

[Milk]

I'd like to think Carlo has made a decision about Pickford now.

I make my decision when Pickford handed the RS that result at the pit.
Died that day

 

[TheBigIguana]

I don't see how he hasn't been signed already. Less than 10m and doesn't even need to move house to join us.

And from Romero's POV he isn't going to play most likely if he stays at United

 

[Joey66]

They had on shot and short arms flapped it in - get rid of him....

Feeling like a 4-2 this one. Calling it now.
