2020/21 Jordan Pickford

[Ring master]

Considering the record was held for a very long time, you would expect Pickford to hold that record for many years to come

 

[lungo]

….what you see is what you get. Despite everybody thinking he‘s super matured under the guidance of his psychologist, he’ll always be erratic with a blunder around the corner.

i’ve always been of this view but beyond his mental fragility I don’t think he commands his box like a top keeper should. I’d replace him if an offer comes in but we do have bigger issues to resolve.

He is average on a good day and really awful on a bad day. Not big and mature enough to be ever a top keeper. But the rest of the Everton team is more or less on the same level.

Made up he's in final, but he was poor last night. He didn't have that much to do, but looked jittery all night.

One little mistake and he can't recover his composure. And all the shouting, arm waving is just performative.

He's looked good so far, chance to put it right Sunday.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Tbf I don't agree with that statement.
Ask any neutrals.

You’re the first person who thinks Kane wasn’t good last night. Played the front man role perfectly

 

[BlueToff]

I disagree, here. He clearly gets nervy and jittery and it spirals. You get the feeling he just needs to take five minutes and have a word. I do not get that with the other keepers you mention, they do not get jittery as such, they just make different errors.

Aye think it’s a bit of both

 

[Parker]

I think it's harsh to call it a mistake, the Danes blocked his line of sight and free kick was excellent. He trusted the wall and had little time to react to the shot.

I'd also say that if he didn't trust his wall and took a step right, only for the free kick to fly in on his side then he'd be crucified.

Nothing wrong with saying its just a brilliant goal, a lot of people in the media have been waiting for this "mistake" to happen so they're jumping on anything they can get. All this despite the fact Pickfords been excellent for them.

Goal keeping errors are not only letting in goals, mate

Jord had a great tourny, a very average game though. It is no biggie

We as a club get booted pillar to post.
I'm annoyed that he got a low mark.
I recall they wouldn't show some media love in goalies errors to save embarrassment.
Yes of course, he's had a great tournament.
But the vultures are circling.

Not sure I am.

And the diving?
He's a goalscorer predominantly (or normally is)
That's why Southgate doesn't name DCL.
Another blue.

Seen a few say the Kane comments myself, not been anywhere near as good this comp as he could be to me, but its his goals that will be as ever what he's counted on-he was awful the 1st 2/3 games and if his name was not kane and the so called best England striker, he surely wouldnt have played the next game etc and would have been subbed earlier than he was/is

He’s probably expect that the wall will block any direct shot, so unless the player can curl it right into the postage stamp at a good speed he’s probably going to get it. Sometimes you have to give credit to the player and say that getting it up and over the wall and back under the crossbar at such a height and pace that Pickford couldn’t easily get to it is just a brilliant free kick.

 

[Papa Shango]

Pickford is the only keeper I can remember for a long time that had to be absolutely perfect just to get called decent. Any slight error and it’s pounced on immediately and he’s back to being a liability. Absolutely ridiculous.

I don't know about that, I think its pretty common, David James got it a lot, as did David Seaman (especially towards the end). Mind you I suppose that is a while back now.

 

[Papa Shango]

Donnarrumma for me by a mile

Yann Sommer.

 

[chrissyjack]

I presume if England had scored that free kick it would have been described as a “ Perfect free kick . Schmeichel had no chance “

Nailed it there mate.
Did anyone hear former Man Utd full back Gary Neville asking why Man Utd full back Luke shaw gave away a pointless free kick in the first place? No, thats not part of the agenda

 

[Nyhus]

He's already won the Tournament Golden Glove.

Broke the England record for time not conceding.

7 clean sheets on the bounce.

Shut up lad.

Lets see him goalkeeping at a high level over a longer period for Everton against PL teams before we go all crazy about him. This has happened before. Looking great against national sides, then stinking the league out with tons of mistakes.
