That's just my view. I thought Watkins had a simple finish for the goal given Pickford's positioning - I had no issues with him being so far out but the gap to his right our left was too big. Agree Pickford did really well in the first half but wasn't he partly well off his line due to the horrific back pass by Young?

I'm not criticising JP. He's a fantastic keeper but I think he didn't quite get his starting position right for the goal.

Bigger issue is that no keeper in the history of football is always perfect. We can't rely on JP to save us in every single game. The team need to create more chances and score some goals.

It went under him though, not to his left or right.

Watkins made it look easy, he is top quality, he had learnt from the first half miss when Pickford made him miss, this time it just didin't work.

This part is spot on mate, and it does my head in that every single thing is picked on with Pickford, when those in-front need to take most the blame really.

How he comes out is part of what makes him so good imo....Martinez does the same thing.
