There are none. But there are very few keepers that make that error. Simply because 99% of keepers tip it over.

As I said, there's a very fine line. But he needs to improve his decision making. He has elite goalkeeping ability but is not an elite goalkeeper. Yet.

Because he does things which are unnecessary.

I agree with that to be honest.

I can’t believe the knee jerk reactions on here.
Yes, we’re all annoyed that we didn’t get away with a hard earned point today, but Jordan made one mistake. It’s a shame but a fact that when a keeper makes an error it often costs a goal.
However he played well up to that point. If he hadn’t saved from Shaqiri no one would have blamed him, but many would be bemoaning the missed chances and blaming the likes of Mina for not taking their chance and scoring so that we could have still walked away with a point.
Our keeper made one error. He was clearly worried by the looping ball and rightly though it best to get a hand to it rather than hope it clears the bar and hits the roof of the net. If he leaves it and it bounces straight back off the bar and Origi scores you’d still blame him.
He tried to put it out, got it wrong and unfortunately it cost us. He appears to have apologised to his teammates and that shows a certain amount of the humility that too many on here don’t think he has.
Get a grip....it’s one error and he doesn’t make many.
Perhaps there are still some “fans” who miss the good old days of Mimms, Gerard, Wright and Myhre.
Thankfully for the rest of us, things have moved on. Pickford is the best keeper we have had since the early 90’s when mistakes started to creep into the great Nev’s game as age, and weight, caught up with him.

Not sure he was trying to do that. I think he was over confidence, trying to catch the ball then maybe wanted to counter attack the RS with a long pass with 30s to go.

Maybe he catches that if he's a couple of inches taller.....

Indeed.

Certain media pundits were pilloried on here for saying he was “too small” to be a really top class keeper in the modern day game.

That incident today perfectly illustrates the point.

Now, he is a very good goalkeeper no doubt but his lack of inches will always stop him becoming a great one.

Moved on from focussing on the manager now then? Davek has a new scapegoat. I shall enjoy watching this unravel!

I'd take a look at the definition of scapegoat if I were you mate. They're usually targeted innocents.

Does that definition apply to this clown?

I meant that mostly tongue in cheek...but Joel catches that.
