2018/19 Jordan Pickford

[CRIMHEAD]

Pickford made a mistake and made a good recovery. But it was a mistake, no question. He didn't play his best game, got a bit of fortune.

 

[longers]

Has definitely got some clangers in him and I’m not entirely convinced but hes still the best keeper we’ve had since Nigel Martyn. I dunno why but I get the feeling he thinks he’s world class already, I guess confidence is essential for goalies.

 

[Death]

You make it sound error free. As for him charging round like a loonatic I actually like him doing that, shows he gives a rats arse.

Dush!

 

[ijjysmith]

I dont hinlk that's what's being said here. We all (me included) recognise his worth to Everton, and we all can see how he can get even better and be of more value to us.

But this lad's head isn't right, and it's justifiable to point that out.

‘His head isn’t right’.

Oh my.

 

[Groucho]

Never a foul

 

[Lanolin]

He got the ball and could easily have avoided making contact with Ings. Easily. We both know it.

Do that against one of the molly-coddled financial elite in this league and he's off the pitch with a straight red and we've got Stekelenburg in goal for three matches.

I agree. That defo is the case. The reason for criticism though isn't what he did to Ings - I couldn't give a shiny one what he did to him as long as he didn't really hurt him - it's down to judgement of distance and pace...both of where/how fast he is and the attackers position and pace. He miscalculated.

Will people PLEASE realise he’s winding you up? One minute he’s saying it’s a deliberate foul that he could easily have avoided, the next he’s saying he had to foul him because he’s miscalculated. I have no issue with it but read what he says before you get all froth mouthed because it takes over the forum when everyone takes the bait in every thread!

It's in his body language. How =else would you describe someone trying to do a Schumacher?

No dave, absolutely 100% nothing like the Schumacher incident and you know it.

Yesterdays challenge was excellent and the reason Ings had marks on his back ia because he turned his back on the ball and was never going to get the ball.

It was great goalkeeping from Pickford, sweeping up, sensing the danger

Schumachers tackle was assault and could have killed the player.

Exactly this.

He also has to anticipate that Ings will follow possibly through, either with his body or his foot.

Fortunately Ings bottled it and turned his back.

100% mate. Players who crap out of challenges get injured. Pickford makes sure that's HIS ball and wins it cleanly and fairly and anyone saying otherwise would probably be happy for someone like Stekkers in goal glued to the bloody goal line.

 

[Jebus_lives]

My only criticism of his clearance yesterday against Ings was that he didn't take his head off.

Pickford left his foot in there to maximize damage. As said: I dont care about Ings. But if Pickford did that aginst Spurs/Chelsea/United/City/Liverpool - Everton are down to 10 men.

Still think it'd be an excellent challenge then?

 

[kiss the crest]

It’s good to see a modern goalkeeper coming out all guns blazing, not like some of the wimps you see now.

Big Nev would have took him out as well

If Ings hadnt turned his back, no contact. The lump jumped into the volley.

No he didn't leave his foot in at all Dave, his foot certainly got caught in the shirt but that's not leaving the foot in.

I'd be absolutely bloody livid if he didn't do exactly the same challenge as that against Man City or Mansfield and I'd be bloody livid if a ref saw that as a foul so it was no surprise that the ref didn't see it as a red or yellow because the ref saw that Ings was never getting it and bottled out by turning his back.

Thats a red card if a ref doesn't do his job regardless of who we play. Ref does his job and its carry on as normal

 

[Azzurri]

Happy with his contribution so far?

Waves a Wolves equaliser into the net and sets up a golden opportunity for Ings yesterday with a terrible save that underlined he isn't focussing on the ball, then he trys to break the ribs of Ings and conspire to put us down to 10 men.

This feller is out of control.

Yes Dave.
