He does pull off some cracking saves when he’s on form but then you just know he’s also got these mistakes in him, as do most keepers, but his just seem to be much, much worse. Must be nerve wrecking for our defenders playing in front of him. He needs some proper competition for his position. Why he started ahead of Virgina anyways is quite baffling last night.

Normally it's the reflex stuff he does well so last night was a bigger nightmare, can't comprehend his decision making on the second, or first for that matter.
 

It's clear that JP has loads of talent and could be a fantastic keeper. His decision making is poor and erratic. After watching him nearly every week since he got here there seems to be indications of an underlying condition. I don't know if he's been diagnosed with having a disorder or not, but his mannerisms etc make this a possibility. Whatever is going on needs to be addressed and help given to him no matter what the problem is.

The competition argument is a load of rubbish
Richarlison, DCL, James, Allan, Digne
All know they are in the team, even if they have a poor game.

surely a pro goes Out and gives 100% every game. He knows if this carries on, he will be gone from Everton and end up Somewhere like Burnley and lose his England place. His mistakes over the last 18months have put him back under pressure and he’s still making mistakes

I would say he has got the bottle to handle to pressure at this time, maybe in a few years he will.

Regardless of wether he’s putting in 100% effort or not he needs the competition. Right now we don’t really have an adequate replacement for him to drop him like other clubs have done (Utd) or are doing (Chelsea) Clearly Lossl just isn’t up to it and Virgina inexperienced. He needs to be made an example of that these errors are simply not acceptable. Not buying into the whole he has something wrong with him, the club would have picked up on this years ago.

For me the first goal all he had to do was just punt it but wanted to make himself look great with his feet, that second goal was him trying to make the save look spectacular. It’s not the first time he pulls this off instead of just making no nonsense saves.
 
He needs sending to a sports psychologist, his problem is mental and not ability.

Wrost thing that ever happened to him was to be a star at the World Cup.

I disagree, well kind of, there may be a weak mentality there too but to be honest his goalkeeping basics are shocking. Weak hands, leading with the wrong hand, knowing when to come and when to stay back and the big one for me, guessing where a ball is going rather than reacting to where it's going. Loads of goalies do that.

He doesn't need competition.

We (as in the club) however do at the very least.
