He had a Pickford game today. Made a couple of great saves, a couple of decent ones, beaten at the near post for a goal, made a silly mistake and then had an odd reaction to the mistake. Thats him all over. I think Everton are a tough crowd to play in front of when thats what you do though. We tend to focus on the mistake, not the positive.
I also if the tongue out thing is just a nervous reaction on his part?
...I get all that and I don’t focus on his reaction to a mistake, but outwith the series of errors I’m not seeing a keeper in command. He’ll make fine saves but I expect a keeper to make fine saves. He’s ineffective dealing with the basics.
A good keeper makes the basics look easy, a really good keeper makes the difficult look easy.
