It’s very hard to defend the lad at the moment. I’d like to still have hope he’ll improve, but I just can’t see how. He’s perpetually rash, and perpetually nervous.

Problem is he's had 3 years to improve and he's gone backwards.

He honest to God needs to get to a sports psychologist and try and find a better place mentally. He's all over the place.

I’d be amazed if Everton haven’t tried that already.

But equally, he doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy who would acknowledge he needs that kind of help, either.

So who knows.

I think he needs ritalin.

Hope he makes a couple of decent saves or his head will be gone on Saturday , even before we start.

Joking aside he's got a lot of ADHD traits. The problem is he's 27 not 7.

That's like saying if Maupay hadn't scored after he dropped the ball at his feet then it doesn't matter.

Well it's not like is it.

I think Pickford is a clown as much as the next guy but let's not blame stuff on him which isn't his fault

I'll reiterate that if you don't think Olsen could maybe be an upgrade than you're still massively overrating Pickford

Olsen couldn't find his arse with both hands.

We needed a proper GK to come in not another Lossl which we got.

Should have been one of the priorities of the summer not last minute fumbling around for Romero.

Have you ever seen Olsen play?

....surely not rating a footballer doesn’t mean you hate him.

Pickford might be a really nice lad but it doesn’t detract from the fact that he’s not a very good goalkeeper. The latter must be obvious to most by now.

lol read people’s comments it’s far more than not rating a footballer, he gets criticised for the way he looks, his size everything! I say ‘hate’ because a lot of people’s comments are hateful towards a person rather than being critical of a footballers footballing ability.

I don't know why he's being selected to be honest. I don't like saying that about Everton footballers, but yeah, only reason he and Maguire are playing is because Southgate is an idiot.

Yes he's tosh - there's a reason a half decent team like Roma were desperate to get shot of him.

Even that free kick then, last chance and he does that so predictable.

He does my head in.

So again you're overrating Pickford.

You'd think after James people would stop making this argument. Hell Napoli were desperate to get rid of Allan too. And yet weekly someone goes "if he were good X club wouldn't be selling him." It means nothing.
