....in respect of clean sheets, i’m more encouraged with the teams defending as a whole than I am with Pickford. It has been a big problem for us, but i’m chuffed we appear to be more difficult to score against.
I’m sorry, but I don’t yet trust Pickford. Newcastle away howler was too recent to forget and I still don’t think he aerially commands his box. Excellent shop stopper, though, and I accept he’s a ‘modern goalkeeper’. I’ll be ok when I can trust him, and that means a lengthy and consistent spell of just being competent.
