I personally think we should have got shot of him when his stock was high after the world cup. I don't think he is the level required to get us to where we want to be.

He is capable of the odd great save but has too many flaws for me that will lose us points in the long run. I would even have stekelenburg ahead of him. Pickford is very overrated after one good tournament

And get who ? Not many better keepers around we could attract
 
For what it's worth I think we need to let the lad grow as a young goalie not get on his back and accept he will make some mistakes and let's see what the next few years bring if he is still making them same silly mistakes and he hasent learnt by then well that's different but if he does go on and develop for us then we have a outstanding goalie on are hands all am saying is some are waiting for mistakes to happen so they can give it I told you so .the lads 23 I think playing for his country and will get better and more importantly he's ours so instead of winein and waiting for a mistake to happen here's an idea encourage the lad and make him feel wanted COYB
 

He makes mistakes as all GKs do. He is one of our best for a long time , potentially since Big Nev.
He is still improving too.
Although contact with keepers has gone admittedly, the ball moves all over the place nowadays. The game has changed. His distribution is also second to none.

I'm assuming your on a huge amount of illegal drugs regarding putting Stekkers in ahead of Pickford

I'm entitled to my opinion as are you. You say the best since big nev? I totally disagree Martyn was certainly better imo and I would have Howard over him too as he was a good keeper before his last season where he let his standards drop.

I think Pickford still has a lot to prove. Before the world cup he made some poor mistakes at West Ham and his height cost him some other goals in other games. I just don't see him as a particularly safe pair of hands. Clearly you feel differently and I would be happy to be proved wrong on this but I just don't feel very confident with him as our goalie
