2020/21 Jordan Pickford

[samcdavies94]

He wasn’t “dropped” as such Tim, just taken out of the firing line for non-football reasons and assured his place was safe for the next game.

If he makes his customary mistake tomorrow and costs us points it won’t be Pickford that the fans turn on....it will be Carlo.

I have not spoken to one Blue all week who thinks this is a sensible move Carlo has made.

Not a chance. I might be wrong, but it looks to me that Ancelotti has given him a final chance by allowing Olsen to prove himself capable. Regardless, if Pickford costs us, there's only one person getting all the flack. And he's not Italian.

The reality is if he mkes a mistake I think he will be dropped more permanently.

I think Carlo is trying a different ploy with him, very much an arm around the shoulder as opposed to the hard shoulder. Sort of "we can rest you a game Jordan but you are critical for us". It could be good anagement, but if it doesn't work, nothing ventured nothing gained.

I also think Carlo is right that he needs to calm down a bit, not force things and be clearer in his thoughts.

If it doesn’t work then we’ve essentially thrown points away and it actually becomes a very poor piece of management.

If we get Pickford right, we will win more points. It's risk/reward isn't it?

Then that will be an improvement in performance on the scale that he has never yet shown in his career, and frankly nothing short of a miracle. To go from being the worst goalkeeper in the league to being competent overnight. I can’t see it.

As you say, if he can go from being the worst in the league, to how he was first season with us, it's a big improvement.

Not sure the world's greatest psychiatrist and the world's greatest goal keeper coach combined could get him right mate.

I disagree.

Let’s just hope the theory is not put to the test.

 

[BlueDraka]

Pickford is a nut. He will be out to be the man everyone is taking about. Let's hope it's because he has had a decent games and not because of his mistakes

 

[Nymzee]

If he makes a mistake today I’m gonna question that random one game for Olsen.

Oh no he back

 

[orly]

Just another two goals conceded so far, no worries Jordan, great to have you back.

All downhill since the Liverpool game for him and the club ruined our season.
