2020/21 Jordan Pickford

I wonder if that is why Mina was all over the second half blocking balls left and right. I do agree that Everton has a problem with the goalkeeper. He simply does not inspire confidence and it is going to lose points because of it. Yesterday he made not only the mistake for the first goal against, but he also almost injured Mina, and slapped a ball to the middle. I hope this is simply a bad spell for him and he can get back to form as he did against the Spurs.
I suspect it’s a factor in why Mina was making blocks like he was in the second half although I’d be happy if defenders were like that more often.

The elephant in the room is that Pickford has been at best inconsistent for a long period now, and I think that’s being lenient; he’s made far too many mistakes.

I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt for a long time and even his most avid supporters look to have turned on him, so it’s difficult to see how it can be saved.
 

It's a big call for Carlo; if he gets a "back-ip" keeper it's telling everyone that he has concerns about Pickford, if he get's a first choice keeper then Pickford is finished if he doesn't get anyone then he's banking on Pickford's form picking up.

I think we've left it quite late for any incoming keeper not to be seen as a replacement/strong challenger to Pickford.

Given the limited time to the window closing I think we may need to prepare ourselves to see Pickford in goal for some time yet.

I agree with all the start apart from that bit. It’s not a big call because he’d be fully justified to have concerns without even considering competition.

For me, the Everton board not acting in some way is the riskier call.
 
Win our next six games and we'll have an extra 18 points - If that happens I'll sponsor a panda

I think we may be agreeing; Carlo should have a suitable back-up provided before the start of the season (by the board). Pickford's form has been a concern ever since the Origi derby
