Yeah but about 75% or more will make the same mistake Pickford did by second guessing the taker and ending up on the wrong foot at the wrong time. It happens, as long as it doesn't become a regular thing I ok with it.

Hopefully, he is young in goal keeping terms and he, learns to temper his ‘cocky’ attitude and concentrates on his keeping.
Could go either way it’s up to the lad hopefully what happened to Hart is something he can learn from.

I agree with all that and as with another's comment that he is immature and with time should become more mature. Time is on his side and hopefully the goalkeeping coach (whoever he is) will be guiding him.

He's a good GK. I'm happy enough we have him. But I dont think we should handle this lad with kid gloves. He's an England international and showed a lot of focus and determination in the World Cup. If he thinks he has to produce anything less than that for us he can GTF - and I wouldn't be arsed about it happening.

I tend to agree but it's a fine balance between bravado and confidence. Joe Hart showed how not to do it. Take the blame when it's your fault too.

I think that is a VERY GOOD example of where this lad will end up if he doesn't focus.

As said before, during and after the WC: I wouldn't be too concerned if we sold him. I detect a big fault-line in his attitude and I can see it widening in the future.

I've seen less of him than most. A few Sunderland games, a bit of England and his games up to Unsworth and then yesterday. My impression so far would be good young keeper with some strong points and great self confidence. He does however have a bit of Joe Harte about him who was ridiculously over rated. Over confidence can lead to a lack of humility and concentrating too much on putting up a front when you make an error or are having a bad game.....rather than just getting your head down and concentrating on your game.

I don't see anything yet to make me think we have a great keeper on our hands. Which is fine as he is very young and doing well, but goes against what the opinion of many fans seems to be. I too wonder if we might regret in the near future not cashing on the world cup boost and selling to Chelsea.

However even if he continued just at the same level or improved only a little bit more, then we still have a decent keeper for the foreseeable future. It's definitely not a burning issue....this is Pickford overhyped or boss debate.

I think a truly world class keeper gets close to the second one too.

Don’t get me wrong I think he’s ace just a tad disappointed in his attitude, first game back and all that hopefully he looks back on this and sees what he needs to do.
 

It was a mistake but he will save us more than lose us ,if he thinks he's the finished article then we might have a problem . another problem will be we have no number 2 that will put any pressure on him

It was a ridiculous decision to retain Stekelenburg and thereby place no pressure on Pickford whatsoever.

We need (along with another forward) to buy a very good GK understudy to Pickford. Keep him honest.

The little step to the left didn't help either, infact that could have been why he didn't save it.

He's a young keeper with bags of talent and potential, he's not the finished article yet and our fans need to remember that.

He is acting like a Billy Big Bollocks. That's the DNA of that lad. You can see a lot of bravado mixed in with the talent he has. He was screaming and arguing with Keane I think it was today when he was getting told to get back in his goal after ridiculously running out. Bravado's all well and good if you're Gigi Buffon. If you're Jordan Pickford it isn't.

Needs to find some humility this kid I'm telling you.

Michael Keane shows no confidence and he's a coward and mentally weak.
Pickford shows confidence despite a mistake and he's acting 'billy big bollocks'

I have no idea why as a fan base we hate our own players.
 
Saveable & avoidable.

1st game, these things happen. 1 point away at Wolves on the opening day is not a bad outcome.

Loads of room for improvement.
 
We could have easily lost if he didn't save the 1v1 with Raul. Lets have some perspective, he has not played pre season and that free kick had some pace on it. The header was top notch with pace on it into the turf.
