2020/21 Jordan Pickford

[BlueDraka]

I feel that every 25 yard shot is going past him , I think the other teams have this sussed aswell.

For me its corners. My heart is in my mouth for everyone. Because of his lack of height the opposition put a man on him which effectively takes him out of the game.

Its become glaringly obvious he is being targeted with high balls n long shots, or does it just seem like that cos he fluffs so many

We should rest him for a game and try Olsen for a whole game.

one follows the other. It's another weakness identified & rest assured at this level it will always be exposed

Has he conceded many from distance?

Rest him after a good performance and a clean sheet?

Ye that was the same for Howard aswell, at least at Howard's best he could do the basics

Why would we rest him after keeping an actual clean sheet.

 

[PhilRegan]

Has he conceded many from distance?

I think of at least three with going onto Google, I think of many more times he's been saved by the woodwork too

You've got better memory than me then mate.

Can't recall many shots from distance I've thought he should have saved, or certainly anything out the ordinary vs the standard.

When you look at other keepers on MOD over a period of time this season it becomes obvious how low the standard is in the PL. There may be just one truly outstanding keeper, regretfully at a certain club, all the rest are error prone with occasional flashes of brilliance. Maybe we should change Pickford for another erratic but very big keeper.

To be honest most goalies generally do better overall than pickford, he's at his best with close range reaction saves. His distribution used to mask over a lot of his defects, but that's not the case anymore.

 

[EFCPaul]

Rest him after a good performance and a clean sheet?

Would be harsh to drop him now because he's been decent over the last few weeks, though I'd definitely like to see Olsen given another opportunity soon. He played well against Newcastle, one of the few who did that day.

Saw a stat the other day he’d conceded 26 outside the box since 17/18 - obviously the most out of any keeper. Can’t recall any absolute howlers off the top of my head mind , maybe we should start closing shots down....
