2019/20 Jordan Pickford

[Zatara]

2 clean sheets, has benefitted from Mina being out

Or...the team is benefiting from Ancelotti's catenaccio-esque deep defence.

0:20 LOOOOOOL

not just that, sporting a full sleeve tattoo now also

Everyone would love it if he was from Eastern Europe and he loved heavy metal

 

[Raino85]

Look like he has benefited from no crowd being around, very calm commanding his area last 2 games

Get him some ear plugs when fans are back in the ground?

Very competent against a poor Norwich team. Well done Picky, another clean sheet.

 

[Abraders]

Baby Hart kept us 2 clean sheets. Nice

What are you actually wanting him to do there mate? The ball is spinning completely away from him

There is no in person audience for him to play to, I think we will see fewer mistakes from him

No it isn’t? It’s floating about 3mph and not threatening at all. Why is he diving after the ball is past him? Why is he so slow to react? If that goes in, you’re telling me he wouldn’t get slaughtered on here?

A shot which hit the post isnt threatening at all? The shot is deflected away from where he is in the middle of the goal, and then spins back in to hit the post, so hes diving to attempt to stop it going in?

Is it spinning towards him or away from him?

The deflection takes it away from him, the bounce brings it back towards the goal?
Regardless of whatever spin the ball takes, hes dived to stop the ball going in. I'm not a fan of pickford at all, but to be moaning at him for that is just over the top. A shots took a deflection and hit the post, how often do keepers get blamed for deflected goals?

I'm not blaming him, I think you're just making the shot sound a lot more complicated than it was. There's a video of it above, that doesn't happen at all. The ball bounces almost in the centre of goal, right by his hand, and then spins away on to the post. A lot of people thought he'd saved in real time because of that. It doesn't spin away and come back, it just spins away.

No it’s not a threat if it’s trickling towards you at such a speed where you can just pick it up lol

It was a weird piece of goalkeeping. He wanted to make it look a spectacular save and it nearly cost us a goal. He does this often as well.

Can you imagine if we had fans forums when Dai Davies and Dave Lawson were playing in goal.
