2019/20 Jordan Pickford

What keeper does everyone want then to replace Pickford?

No matter who they pick that keeper will also concede goals, De Gea maybe, he makes more howlers then Pickford.
Jordan might be a bell but he is the least of our worries

A better one.

 

[PDAWG]

He's as good as we can get at our level imo

He's the least of our worries anyway

 

[Everton19]

A better one.

He isn't the least but he isn't the biggest,I quite like the Burnley keeper but brands will cast his net out into Europe.

So it is get rid of Pickford, Mina, Keane, Kean, Siggy, Walcott, Davies, Schnides, Coleman. Just wait till the others have 1 or 2 bad games and we will have no one left.

I feel that Jordan has unfortunately regressed since his first season at Goodison. He has become more of a liability in big games, the pressure of the derby and particularly his attitude during games against Newcastle are very worrying. He doesn't seem capable of concentration when it matters most.

On top of this his distribution is wayward and wasteful - I am sick of seeing him rushing out to boot the ball aimlessly upfield, followed by the usual apologetic hand in the air (the other across his chest) indicating yet another 'sorry about that lads'. Even his saves to shots faced ratio is one of the poorest in the league. Not great on pens.

I don't expect clean sheets every game, but I think we should be considering cashing in before his value plummets. Do we know anything about Lossl? How is Stekelenberg still on our bench? That is worrying. That other lad we poached from Arsenal and went on loan to Reading has been awful by all accounts.

Surely we could attract keepers from premier league teams outside the top 6 (Fabianski, Pope, Dubravka etc). Or failing that, what about the reserve keepers at bigger clubs? I always thought Sergio Romero was decent whenver he played for Utd. There are a few decent keepers we could get on free transfers in the summer like Alexander Nubel at Shalke (German U21 int'l) and Walter Benitez at Nice (Argentine U21).

Plus with Carlo we can surely attract some higher calibre talent.

Maybe I'm being harsh on Pickford, but considering what we paid for him I think he's gone backwards since...

Good keeper that Nick Pope.

 

[Tommy.]

Good keeper that Nick Pope.

He is, he's only 2 years older than Pickford but Pickford can do more with a ball than Pope could even dream of.
If Pickford can cut out some of these silly errors (he's 25 years old, a relative baby in goalkeeper terms) he is definitely capable of playing at a higher level.
He honestly isn't the most pressing part of our team that needs attention right now.

A better one.

A better taller one for me

 

[Nyhus]

Great reaction save, offside or no.

Wonder save that was,hopefully that chance wakes us up and we go for it more

 

[Walken]

now that was a top top save, also highlights the stupidity of the VAR regs and linesman not flagging as much, because if the RS score from the corner because linesman are told not to flag and let VAR sort it out then that is so wrong

Agree. People hate him for some mad reason. He hasn’t had the best 18 months but he’s a decent keeper.
