2018/19 Jordan Pickford

[davek]

No player is!

He will be a solid keeper for us though. They are not easy to find. Look at Cheslki.

Agreed.

Solid.

Wasn't focused enough but will get better. Lack of pre season showed a bit.

 

[Rugby Toffee]

did okay, thought his distribution was a bit erratic

 

[ClausThomsen]

He makes mistakes that lead to goals he gets criticiused. That's the way it works.

Have I got that wrong?

No. Were you as vitriolic regarding Martinez's mistakes?

You tend to criticise the person rather than the person's actions. Calling him Billy Big Bollocks and claiming he thinks he's better than he is seems speculative unless you know him personally or have had a chat with him.

 

[banno]

Rusty performance but still better than Stek. Take a few games to get back to normal service but still good enough when below par.

That's all by the by. Pickford made a balls up and it cost us. To call him out on that is the correct call.

What's his 'normal service' ?

brilliant is his normal service. Rusty today.

Yes. Call out the mistake. You make assumptions about his character, focus and motivations. Personally I'd much prefer a confident keeper than one who is constantly afraid of making a mistake.

I just want one who does the basics. This feller has been told he's a great distributor once too mant times by idiot pundits and it's gone to his head...result: him shanking balls out left and right all match.

Needs to get a kin grip and start concentrating on keeping.

I agree that his distribution is certainly overrated by the media.

I'm not 100% sure that he's being instructed by the manager not to be so ambitious with it though. For all I know he may well be getting drilled in it during training and it could be part of a gameplan that is being worked on.

Ah but criticising him is one thing but referring to him by a derogatory nickname is calculated to cause maximum offence.
I do similar on Keane's thread , but I don't then claim innocence of intent.

Was a hell of a free kick from only 20 yards, sometimes you’ve gotta give it to the attacker and not blame an individual defensively

Correct, not once do i recall one of our players, from Baines to Sheedy scoring a free kick like that and the fans going, yeah but really it was the keeper at fault.
