2023/24 Joao Virginia

[Shibbywiggles]

Good at being a goalkeeper which is the main thing really

 

[Frosty1878]

good game and nice to see him command his area, id like to see his kicking hitting the channels rather than down the middle some kick on him but needs a bit less

 

[Furey1878]

Please never kick it directly to the opposition goalie ever again x

 

[Ring master]

Played quite well. Looks like he's improved over the last few years.

He defo has from the u23s etc, the odd loan move that didnt work out for him. Did well v City think it was in the past in prem league, and did well so far this season.

 

[pfim]

Played well again. His kicking can improve but he’s very inexperienced, there are bound to be areas of improvement

 

[Joey66]

Unlucky to concede 2 the first goal for them was a foul, a push by RB on DCL - how VAR never seen that?

The winner was unlucky ping pong ...

He had a good game IMO

his kicking will improve - a good prospect

 

[Cels]

I like Joäo Virginia, he's golden. Played well today and, in my opinion, didn't deserve to be on the losing side.

I was pleasantly surprised when he plucked the ball from the Luton players head in the 1st half. Was thinking would have Pickford claimed that. I don't know. I cannot stress the importance of keepers that come and claim crosses

 

[Runub]

His long balls are truly long

 

[maccavennie]

That save from the one v one was absolutely class btw, proper reflex save.

I'm gutted more for him tbh than any of the other bellends in the team getting knocked out today. Produced a motm performance against Palace to watch it mean very little, plus we won't be seeing again now for the rest of the season as there's no Comps left for us.

I wouldn't be against selling Pickford if a good offer comes in, as long as the money gets a couple of decent attacking players in, and giving João a run in the team. I'm a big fan of Jordan, but we can all see we desperately need some better forward options after today's game.

I don’t want to sell Pickford either but we only have him, branthwaite, onnana and maybe DCL as sellable assets.

I mean assets that would bring in a decent amount of money. By decent I mean more than 30m

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Based on a very small number of games admittedly, he will quite rightly feel it’s time have another go at playing every week. Certainly next season.

It feels very knee jerk after a couple of good saves and claiming a cross, but Pickford is the only one of our sellable assets that has a competent replacement already at the club.

Sell Onana and the first £20m+ needs to go on an Onana replacement, leaving little for new forwards. Selling JB and the first £20m needs to go on defrosting Keane and mothballing the entire club.

 

[roy vernon]

Virginia has potential, he is tall and commanding, he gets out well to narrow the angle and seems to have confidence. On the minus side, his distribution is awful. He's a work in progress for me, but, he's only 24, which in keeper terms is still quite young. Definitely good enough to be Pickford's back up for now.

 

[Eggs]

….pleasantly surprised by him.
