Hi all... and in defense of Pickford

[LostLegend]

While Pickford is capable of moments of brilliance (The save he made that forced the corner that Mina scored from in the WC match was world class)
His mistakes have cost us dearly over the past few years and they seem to be getting worse.

I would love nothing more for him to turn it around this season and prove me wrong, but I fear his days here are numbered.

That said, the warmest of welcomes for you here from me.

Early on, I thought Pickford looked like the real deal. But, we haven't seen him put up one of his better performances in a long while. I'm not quite ready to close the door on him, but bringing in serious competition for him seems the right way to go. He needs to at least show signs of improvement. 26 is still young for a keeper, and I think with time and the right pressure/motivation, we could see him reach the heights expected. But the improvement has to start now.

After all, I've played keeper in Rocket League quite a bit, so I should know.

Hi all. New to the forum, though an Everton follower for some time. Born Colombian, while lived in USA most of my life. Why Everton? well, if I must confess, because my good friend was crazy for Anfield, and I wanted to annoy him.... as it turns out, James and Mina are much, much better reasons to follow it now. Fate? perhaps it was meant to be.

Fun fact: The Colombian Red team is Santa Fe and the Blue team is Millonarios. Both from Bogota. No wonder, I was born a (Colombian) blue....

For all of you that are killing Pickford here, I respectfully invite you to pause for a minute, and remember this game (England-Colombia 2018 world cup):



Yerry Mina scored for Colombia. James could not play, as he was injured the previous match. Pickford saved the day for England more than once.

Pickford may be going through a very rough time, but he has it in him... so, I say: In Carlo we trust!!!

Welcome Jordan

I don’t think even Donald Findlay could defend Pickford.

Maybe pickford does not need Findlay

 

[degsy]

tbh, he had a good game yesterday

Great shot/header stopper, but awful at commanding his box !!
