Of course not. We were told what a saint he was.
And as I posted earlier - Pickford and Tosun comforted him...

Carlo said Pickford is sad about the situation.

He’s clearly lying, what does he know? Pickford is a malicious person ,it was an intentional act to injure the player honestly Chris Sutton & Robbie Savage told me.
 

Strange how things turn out as I am Pickfords biggest critic, but after all these false accusations accusing Pickford of malicious assault I am now a defendant of this flawed keeper...

I now feel so annoyed the way the media have perceived a mis-timed challenged to assault as laughable, how on earth has Klopp influenced so many people...

I hope this makes Pickford stronger he certainly will need to be in the next few weeks but I know he will have my support over this issue as some of the things being said are totally deluded & untrue...

This is spot on. Being honest, I'm not a fan of the keeper, he is not good enough to play at this level, but as you rightly point out the media coverage is very very questionable.

If I could be so bold as to offer a hypothesis here, the media love a fall guys and our vile media houses have concentrated their efforts on the likes of Raheem Sterling, Danny Rose, Pogba and others. The penny has finally dropped that racist witch-hunts are no longer ok (even though some of these neanderthals don't know why), but the lust for a witch-hunt still remains. Pickford an ideal candidate
 
What is missing from the assessment / assassination of Pickford over this tackle is a little bit of context.
The last few weeks have been really tough for the lad like him or loathe him he has been under the cosh from the press and to a significant extent us his own fans
He has been accused of being indecisive and flapping around in the box
This tackle was exactly the result of over compensation for those accusations ... he went in decisively and being Jordan there are not many steps between decisive and over zealous
There’s nothing malicious here just a clumsy over compensation from a young man under pressure
He gets my support

That’s exactly how it is mate and it’s a shame we have so many spiteful and devious people working within the football industry (media, pundits, ex-players etc...) who can’t just drop their bias for one second and be reasonable, civilised and call things for how they are instead of all getting up in arms and creating a bandwagon infused with hatred and malice to belittle a player who plays for a club they have an agenda against.

Yes I agree.
 

Is this all part of the media agenda to have him removed from the England no.1 position?
They have been building up in recent weeks in their questioning of his capability of late ( not helped by my own and other fans assisting that narrative) and this extra exertion is being put into place as the icing on the cake to make it easier to have him removed from this position.
Southgate has to back him here as well as us, surely.
Just my take on things.
 
As always, the media toe the corporate line on mental health awareness, although it's fine to hound a young family man 24/7 for a sporting error that could have and has happened to other sports figures.

Double standards as always, from pundits to journo's to RS players to RS supporters, hang your heads the lot of you.
 
Spoke to a citeh fan who said TAA put Sane out for the season in last years Community Shield. Reckons it was a blatant intentional foul.

I remember the outcry well :hayee:
