2018/19 Jordan Pickford

[sageyefc]

Because stats don't tell the full picture do they. Stats tell part of it but the best way of judging a player is by their contribution and what each fan sees from a particular player.

What I see from him is an excellent shot stopper, who is one of the best in the league in that regard, great at saving penalties and is fairly young. The negatives to him are that he is too over confident with his kicking and is prone to mistakes. But find me a goalkeeper around that isn't prone to mistakes. And those keepers who do make them less often, wouldn't even entertain the idea of playing for a post 1987 Everton FC.

The stats about how many he conceded include his time for Sunderland, a team that was the laughing stock of the league and went on to suffer a double relegation. I wonder how David de Gea's stats would look if he played for that side?

No they don't, only been using the stats from his time with us

Some of the stats we've looked at are premier League (including a small portion for Sunderland compared to that of his time with us) and some with only Everton appearances. Neither make for a good reading as we've noted.

In his time at Everton or something he's conceded over 100 golazos.

In regards to the rest, stats can absolutely skew things, but I have watched him with my own eyes and I don't think he's particularly good. He's terrible with crosses. He almost always blames somebody else. His distribution is borderline woeful for a number of reasons.

He is good at saving penalties though.

I almost always praise him in here for doing things well, but more often than not I find myself lambasting him for the crap he does poorly.

The thing is as well, United fans don't even think they've got a good defence. They have De Gea. A goalkeeper who stops almost everything thrown (lol kicked) his way.

That 100 goals thing can't be right.

No way you concede over 100 goals in a season and a half.

 

[sixtynineseventy]

Seems like more than 100...

 

[arminisgod]

that goal today was easily savable and he made it so easy for Vardy it was untrue.

Make no mistake De Gea, Alison or Lloris wouldn't have conceded it

He's conceded 85 goals in the 59 prem games he's played for us mate. That's not including goals conceded in cup games.

Im happy for him to prove me wrong but I just think he's bang average. Makes the occasional worldy, but you'd expect that from any keeper in the top division. His positioning is dire as proven by when he's flinging himself across the goal for shots going well wide or over, or even that piss poor attempt to deal with that cross we seen today. His decision making is poor, his distribution is a myth and he doesn't command the box. I appreciate he's only 24 but it's worrying we have so much money tied up in this kid

 

[Walken]

The context will of course very, but no one can deny that some damning stats have been posted today, at the very least I think we can all agree the lad needs to improve

 

[riddick]

If you think Jordan Pickford is better than poor at his distribution either you are deluded or you are on the wind up. He's had a couple good kicks/throws down the pitch but almost always has been extremely poor.

You don't know that though

Great shot stopper(today excluding), poor keeper.

He got his angles a bit wrong but can't be blamed for that... 1on 1 Vardy did well

He can't be blamed for getting his angles wrong?

Ok then

What an absolutely pathetic record that is

That’s rule 1 in the goalkeeping manual mate
