IMO he's a couple of inches too small for an ideal height for a goalie, (he's 1.85m just under 6 foot 1 inch), although it was a very well struck shot of he had been a little bigger he would have got finger tips on it.

Yeah he was quite close to reaching it to be fair just simply down to height than quality of keeper.
 
Least of my worries Pickford yesterday was probably MOTM. Kept us in the game. Not his fault at all yesterday. The problem for me lies with the central midfield two getting over ran in midfield, an generally being 5 yards behind the pace of the game. They slowed the game down so much for us. That second half performance we couldn’t string 5 passes together. Then if we did, holgate or mina booted it long they lost possession just as much as MS and GS and not forgetting TW that second half was probably up there with one of the worst I’ve seen from him.

I've been saying for a long time that for me Jordan isn't tall enough. It's a personal choice. I consider him to be a decent shot stopper but he dosnt command his box( maybe they are working on that now cos against Newcastle he actually came out and won a couple of balls in the air). It was a good curler by the RS player but Pickford did get his fingers to it. I'm saying a couple of inches bigger he may have turned it over the bar. As I say personal choice. Me get a bigger keeper who fills the goal.

Not tall enough , too rash and poor distribution , Only good when it's instinctive and he doesn't have to think about it. Brainless!

The best shot stopper we have had in a long time (see the origi save). Granted he makes some mistakes but if people are blaming him for yesterday thats ridiculous.

Not blaming him for yesterday but just being an instinctive shot stopper doesn't make him an all round good goalkeeper. So much more to the game nowadays - his distribution and attitude are terrible .

Not being funny but every time we concede or lose a game it isn’t purely his fault. He looked shocked at what was going on in front of him yesterday.

I’d be well pissed off if my defence were playing sideways ball after sideways ball right in front of me against the best pressing B team in world football too.

He doesn’t help himself though by volleying the ball to their keeper immediately after catching a corner though does he?
