2018/19 Jordan Pickford

[ijjysmith]

First clean sheet in 245 days according to Opta Joe today.

HAhahaha! Anders you’re ace

Love the way people are ignoring his saves near the end.

Usual suspects.

Seems to have a silly/downright stupid error in almost every game recently.

If Robles had made this many type of errors he'd have been crucified.

Made one today early on, tried to play a fairly difficult ball out after spell of pressure, straight to their player resulting in good chance for them. Should have just dealt with it. That frustrates me more than anything when it's out of nothing, at the worst possible time in a game.

Also was running out of his area again despite us having 2 centre backs who were in full control. Resulting in a few seconds of confusion. No need - thought he'd have learnt that after Spurs.

Had a better second half, couple great saves, in bad conditions, but I'm far from comfortable with him at present - quickly needs to iron out these errors.

I think someone said recently he's overplaying. I'd agree with that.

You look at de Gea performances today, single handedly keeping the score down up till this point. That’s how we wish Pickford will become one day but I doubt he ever will be that level.

Pickford is nowhere near the level of De Gea though, yet. So how can you use that as a stick to beat him with?

He played well today in terrible conditions.

Yeah because Pickford isn’t.

Wouldn't be surprised if he got a rollicking at HT. Couple of times he made poor decisions with passes. Was rock solid in the 2nd half. Couple of good punches.

I bloody hope every single player got a rollicking at half time.

I'm still getting more of a sense that people think Pickford just needs time or needs to get his confidence back than Robles ever did, despite making twice as many errors.

Maybe it's just because he's clearly got potential and we want him to come good.

Or have I underestimated the level of frustration aimed at him?

The fact that I was his biggest fan and he now does my head in (not as much as Gylfi like) should tell you a lot.

Routine

It certainly is.

He's doing my head in recently - hence the rest of my original post!

I’d personally say Pickford is at the level de gea was when he first came to the prem.

Wouldn’t disagree mate.

Play like the second half all the time and also get a face transplant and I will accept him as our number one
