2018/19 Jordan Pickford

[mkrudden]

Well those fans are wrong. We are terrible, yes, but what a normal fan would do is accept that fact and actually try to maybe get behind the rebuilding job and give it a bit of time. But instead you have people wailing away on social media calling for the manager’s head after 6 games as they think we’re entitled to success just because a previous moron spent a lot of money assembling said garbage squad. This clearly translates into the ground on a match day, where you have us being booed off at half time when drawing against a team we “should” be beating. Despite the fact that superiority complex is completely unfounded as we’re still abysmal.

Then there’s the other side of the fanbase, actively wanting our players to be rubbish and revelling in it when they are so they can tell faceless people on an Internet forum how right their initial opinion was. There’s nothing wrong with criticising a player’s performance, or if a player has proven himself genuinely rubbish throughout his career expressing your wish to see him not in the team, but it’s got to the stage where people are just making up errors and poor performances because they have to make themselves feel good somehow, and being right and/or “winding people up” is that validation they need.

Michael. My man.
Outstanding post.

I said potential and didn’t count that as one of the 3 mistakes In 6 games he’s made so far

3 in 6 isn't bad considering every other player we have so far has made many more then that

DCL missing sitters , people getting reds and baines giving pens away , does make Pickford a good gk thi does it

 

[Nyhus]

I take it back, Jordan, that was great.

Day 712 and he finally keeps that clean sheet, well in

[YoboCopter]

Awaits man united links

Stat guys should see the light.. If that was a goal, he's to blame? Great gk

 

[mkrudden]

He cracks me up. Mini celebration after that save at the feet of Vietto.
Kicking was iffy today though.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Needs to take pens as I’m sure his celebration would be hysterical

 

[4737carlin]

Nice clean sheet played well, onwards and upwards

 

[davek]

How many clean sheets is that since arriving?

Not being oppositional here, just asking.

 

[Abraders]

Great covering for Fulhams counter. That said though they made it fantastically easy for him, 2vs1 with all the space and time in the world and they basically play it exactly how Pickford would want it.

Still had to deal with it though.

Clean sheet. Good effort.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

How many clean sheets is that since arriving?

not enough but that's as much about those around him...

 

[Lanolin]

Fair play to him, that was a fantastic bit of keeping to smother that counter at 1-0.
