2019/20 Jordan Pickford

The set up of his wall and his positioning for the Mahrez free kick was bizarre, and his walkabout near the end was stupid - he should have stuck it in the Bullens - I have been a big defender of his performances but I am starting to question his intelligence after a succession of poor decisions.
 

This is it really isn't it?

He can be great, we have seen him be great, he can be having a blinder during a game but moments like the free kick today, just before it was taken I had a feeling it will go in and I reckon many of us thought the same.
I’ve just said in the match thread he should be saving that I play in goal on a Sunday so standard is crap but if I didn’t save a free kick on my side I would get slaughtered. I think he needs some time on the bench to make him buck his ideas up

There are always going to be instances were a goalie makes a mistake and doesn't save an easy shot. Even all time greats do that. It's keeping them to a minimum and Pickford seems to do a fair few of them.

I don't know if benching him would be the answer though. As I said earlier though our back up goalie isn't bad at all. I think a lot of people forget we even have him.

We have two decent back up keepers but I think dropping him would be good for all. Reason I say this he has strutted around making stupid mistake after stupid mistake knowing he won’t be replaced. Now is the time to do it for a couple of games
 
Dave Watson, Kevin Ratcliffe, Howard Kendall, Joe Royal, Richard Gough, Greame Sharp, Peter Reid would have smacked
him in the changing room.

Rotten.

I don't think he is purposely making these mistakes though! I just think he has it in his game regardless of anything else squad wise.

He has no presence for me. Always a big thing i feel for a keeper. You gota make the opposition feel like they are going to have to work to beat this keeper. He hasnt got that.
