2018/19 Jordan Pickford

[Axlswhk]

Just look at the calmness of De Gea and contrast that with Pickford. Worlds apart.

Agreed, Sometimes I do wonder if he’s trying too hard to get attention. Needless acrobacy and taking way too much time trying to take a goal kick even when we’re behind. It’s like he enjoy being the focus of the camera. Fabian bathez comes to mind.

People thought it was the Sunderland defence and Moyes etc making him concede all those goals. It was also him.

Tbf, after he left Sunderland they conceded so many goals that they got relegated in two consecutive seasons, so it’s a little unfair to blame Pickford for the horror show at Sunderland.

That said, I’ve been a supporter of Pickford and I’m willing to chuck my hat into the ring and say that I now have serious doubts about him.

More and more recently, he’s been completely erratic, takes risks, seems to spend half of the time arguing with the defenders rather than worrying about his own game.

And we all laughed at Liverpool spending 70M on a keeper, time and time again they make absolute mugs out of us.

New goalkeeping coach.

I'd seriously consider playing Stekelenburg for a match or two regardless of my own concerns about his ability, as Pickford is beginning to look very fragile.

He's made a few fair mistakes of late which are ultimately costing us more and the first goal yesterday epitomises how his frailties are coming to the fore.

Firstly, Pickford shouldn't have been there so whether he shouted or not - nobody appeared to hear it - is negated, while I'm unsure why he didn't simply clear it.

If he did shout and Zouma was in the way, then why not simply put his foot through it? It's a catalogue of errors that allowed them to open the flood gates.

In the end, I still think he will be a very good goalkeeper so some of the obscene criticism on here are in my opinion unfair, but he does need to realise his position.

We have to give Stek a go.....much as I think he is crap.

The thing is, if Pickford is injured....or indeed suspended if he had picked up the red card his tackle on Alli deserved yesterdsy....we would have to play him.

And a catastrophic loss of form by the first choice falls into the same category and leaves no option but to bring in the understudy.

Pickford needs benching....both for the sake of the team and himself.

Some stone cold classic knee jerks here. Shame so many people hate passionately working class footballers so much these days.

How can it be knee jerk when he's making mistakes most of the time?

 

[lungo]

Only 2 goals away from having conceded 100 goals in 1 and a half seasons here. But yeah he's the next de gea or something

Its like having an 10 year in goal. You never know what will happen next. A world class safe or an Anfield calamity. He has some talent but not the head to be a consistent good keeper. Also you can say he has to play with Keane and Mr "courant d'aire" Coleman!

Robles was honestly a better goalkeeper and I'm literally nea about the backlash this causes every time I say it.

Don't turn it into class warfare. If he wasn't making howlers every game, we would all love the lad.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Working class, yeah right!

 

[Charro]

The two best English keepers are currently warming the bench at Burnley. They are there for the taking as Dyche is too stubborn to admit he made his biggest mistake in management bringing in the ego that is Hart on massive wages.

They’re warming the bench at Burnley for a reason.

I may as well get hammered as well but i thought Robles was a decent keeper and we were idiots to let him go and keep Stek.

 

[larrygobfiend]

I've tried to convince myself that he's good, but it's time to face facts...

 

[YoboCopter]

Remmeber people said they wouldnt sell him for 70 mill

Now now can't say that, he's Spanish and was bought from Wigan so he's the worst ever
