2019/20 Jordan Pickford

[Mrancelotti]

Just because he was quality doesn't mean he knows it all sake lad get a mind of your own.I have heard him big players up loads of times over the years and all they are in the end are flavours of the month.

Got a mind of my own.... my own mind says this kid was decent, has improved. Is better is getting better and ex world class players confirming what I see doesn't make me question their credentials when they clearly state why this lad is gonna be good.

Maybe they just didn't nail their colours to the mast in a Paul Merson "uninformed" type rant.

And yet you still quote them, he is decent at the moment played well the last few games nothing more.

another near post shot let in by him- positional sense all over the place..... his kicking out was pants too....

He's a massive man-child disappointment.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over him being shifted out. He's far from being irreplaceable.

 

[Joey66]

Jesus was about 8 yards out. The whole near post thing is irrelevant when he's that close and he absolutely smashes it.

Still out of position imo ....

I think there are more pressing positions that need sorting but somewhere along the line he needs replacing.

Where should he have been, do you think?

 

[Nymzee]

Somehow, didn’t know it was possible, keeps kicking it too far. Like surely he has the ability to just take some power off it?

 

[carolinablue232]

He does this thing where he makes a standard save but still jumps/dives and flops around like a fish to make it look like more than it was. Shouldn’t bother me much, but it does.

Oh and it would’ve been difficult but if he’s playing his angles better, maybe he had a shot at the second goal today. Would’ve been far more difficult for Jesus to hit that one far post.

He may well be developing - but he isnt anywhere near developed enough yet to justify the current hyperbole and £50 million talk.

If he scores 15 goals this season and repeats it next season whilst improving his hold up play, passing, movement/link up play in the box and heading then I'll jump on board with his praise.

50 mill is crap. If he keeps progressing at this rate, that price is eighteen months away. We shall see.

 

[Khalekan]

Pickford is not near the top of our priorities regarding replacements. When we become a top 6 team in 2 years he may have gained some maturity by then.

I think we will need a better goalkeeper in order to become a “top six” team.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Wasn't that long ago he was player of the season and how happy were lads when he joined? Very. As I remember.

 

[Axlswhk]

Rush forward a few of yards and make himself much bigger and the shooting angle will be greatly reduce.

the worst thing to do is to stand rooted near goal line in such situation.

 

[davek]

No insults. No ranting. No hyperbole. None of that's needed anymore, because it's now self evident that Pickford is bang average. We need to upgrade.

 

[brieverton]

We should capitalise on his value whilst he is still England No.1, which in my opinion won't be indefinately as he is certainly prone to dropping a clanger at a major tournament, and Euro 2020 is now approaching.

If that happens, the media ignorance of him in large parts will no longer stand.

He is for me an average keeper with an inflated reputation. It would be sound business to sell him at maximum value whilst we still can.

 

[Lloydystark]

Bore off people. Pickford didn’t lose us the game, Man City were better than us, I’d rather have Pickford than bravo any day yet bravo was on the winning team. Most fans get behind there players this chat is the opposite
