2019/20 Jordan Pickford

Jordan Pickford's unique talent can still help England despite his slump | Jonathan Liew

The Everton goalkeeper is facing competition for his England jersey but being well suited to international duty may save him

www.theguardian.com

Basically: Pickford tries to 'dictate' games when he's a keeper; his game is best suited to international tournaments where his exuberance can affect the outcome...which means, by extension, he's rubbish for Everton.

I reckon you don't need to be Carlo's son or his cousin or any other of his Italian family
on the payroll to work out that the answer to our financial woes: we have three players
capable of being sold for a profit, Digne, Richarlison and Pickford. We need the first two
but Lossi is no worse than Mr. Thickee.

Flog Mr. Thickee for 50 million or more to Chelski - solves the FFP issue - and ask Brand to
wait outside the office while Carlo and family and approved agents do the biz.

You think we, Everton, can sell someone for 50 million, that we slag off every week as not good enough? The guy who makes obvious mistakes every week? Maybe Chelsea’s scouts are just watching YouTube videos of “outstanding saves by Pickford”. Fingers crossed ay? People can throw a value out there if what we would get for Pickford. But until someone puts a bid in, he’s worth zero. And I’m telling you, he is not worth anywhere near 50 million if someone does.....

Firstly, if you think scouting departments at a Champions League club listen to what we spout on a forum then I have a bridge to sell you. Secondly, you can only hope they go "yeah, but with our back four and the motivation of European football we can get 2018 World Cup form from him every week!"

If we want him out, especially if we say "he's a minter but, you, know, wolf at the door, midfielders to pay for" Somebody will give us a decent wedge for him.

Big Jon Liew coming up trumps for us here. The only way his value won't decrease is if he plays well for England.

Unfortunately he’s on borrowed time as England number 1, in fact I’d say there’s a good chance it’s already up as we speak.

I may be wrong? But I think he has a condition like OCD. I have Thought Based OCD and I can see some traits in him. Sometimes my head has to focus on what it is being told, even when I am doing something else. Or my compulsions can kick in at any time. If he has, then he should be seeing a therapist. Best thing I ever did was see a therapist as it gave me some control over my OCD and made my life much easier. This is a horrible condition that can control you so much. He does show traits of it to me, but I apologise to him if I am wrong. He could be a very good keeper.

Matt Ryan is far, far, far better than Pickford.

Which is why I suggested him. But no, apparently he’s worse than JP. lol

Granted he is crap, but how did you arrive at this nonsense? "Basically: Pickford tries to 'dictate' games when he's a keeper; his game is best suited to international tournaments where his exuberance can affect the outcome"

Said something similar myself a while back. I felt he was coming across a little too erratic at times and thought he may benefit from some sort of counselling/therapy to see if there were any underlying problems with him.

Lets not be stupid now.

Lets not be stupid now.

He’s a decent keeper to be fair.

 

[Toffeelover]

The two goalies who have been sat on the bench, Stekelenberg or Virginia.

Prefer to try Virginia.
