2020/21 Jordan Pickford

He did a mistake and I think we can say this but it doesn’t change for me and his teammates the confidence we have. He’s made fantastic saves in the past and been solid. Pickford was better in the last period than before. There is no doubting his quality
If this is truly a quote from Carlo, I can visualise the Mersey full of dead bodies.
What's he supposed to say? Jordan is pants and won't play again under my management! De Gea has had a couple of shockers recently, and Lloris was awful last night. I'm sure we'll be looking for a new goalie and trying to sell Pickford pretending he's good, don't know if anyone is daft enough to buy him though!
 

I have cut and pasted that Carlo quote and will use it with abandon whenever someone rants about how awful Pickford is. (I broadly agree with the ranters by the way, but what Carlo thinks matters, the rest doesn't very much).

Pickford is awful and Carlo knows it. That's why he brought in a Gkp in the summer and has been playing occasionally to put pressure on pickford. It worked for a while and pickfird improved but he can't sustain it. Pretty much no other team will rotate their first choice keeper, but we are.

Carlo isn't the type of manager to come out scathing about individual players publicly. He is careful with his man management, so you can use that quote all you like, but it show you don't understand Carlos management style.
 

One thing Pickford has surely highlighted.

Don’t buy a relegated team’s goalkeeper :(
I partly agree, but there are other factors to take into account when teams are relegated.

It's difficult though, as unlikely to attract any keeper from the top half, most in the bottom half will be average which means looking abroad. And currently there isn't much out there. (That I'm aware of)

So you turn to the younger keepers who are In struggling teams with good stats (like pickford was) and hope it works but this time it hasn't.
 
I think it arrogance. It looks like he trys to make world class saves out of shots he can just smother with a simple step to the left or right.

With the shot he messed up on he moves the other way to where the ball is going. Was he trying to pre-emt a deflection or giving him self room to do a camera save.

Would de gea ederson mendy Leno alisson etc have done that. Can't see it myself.
 
As said previously I would rather play Olsen for an extended run of games and keep Pickford out. That option is open to the manager but he seems to have a different opinion of Pickford's ability and contribution than the majority opinion displayed at least on here. For as long as that plays out we will have rotation.
