2021/22 Jordan Pickford

[carolinablue232]

Not really Burnley were in Europe a few seasons ago and Pope was being touted as the next England goalie to replace pickford and it never happened

Unless Southgate leaves or gets sacked and as long as Pickford doesn’t make a massive mistake in an important match for England there is no reason why he would lose his spot to ramsdale

Honestly don’t watch Arsenal much but everyone seems to be going on and on about how good Ramsdale is now. As you say, one mistake from Pickford and I suspect the calls for him to be taken out will be there. Sell him to Spurs before that happens.

I'd keep him, he is getting more consistent, idont think there is currently a (much) better keeper than him in the prem.

I'm not really arsed if he doesn't play for England

Eh, idk. He’s much more consistent then before, I’ll give you that. But for me there’s still quite a gap between him and the best including Mendy, De Gea, Ederson, and yes Alisson.

Ramsdale?
Another flavour of the month.....appalling at Bournemouth, has improved of course but not enough imo to regarded as better than Pickford.

Spot on - Ramsdale ain't much better now imo, a few sketchy clean sheets and saves from shots right at him withstanding, he's a crap goalie and not even close to Pickford

Pope is better than him.

I would keep him for sure, why make a problem for ourselves on having to get a replacement when we are going to have a lot of work to do in the summer anyway

What's this Pickford short, T-Rex arms pub punch-up thing? Anypne know?

I just heard that on the radio as i was driving home, it sounds like a total none story with Jordan not actually doing anything, typical S** nonsense, hopefully nobody shares any links

Burnley and Arsenal aren't exactly the same thing

It's just crazy to me posts like this. I get wanting to support the team and that there haven't been a ton of positives so anything that might be decent is seized on. But at the same time most of the defense of Pickford lately isn't so much what he's doing as it is absolving him of blame. And sure not every goal should have been prevented but also the times where he does step up and make the saves stay far apart. When was the last time? I don't think it's happened since the calendar turned. Yeah the only real mistake was against Brentford but you've got to make saves too.

So to say Ramsdale isn't close, well sure he's overrated, but he's certainly close at worst.

I think he’s treated very harshly by all the pundits and media… yes he’s erratic now and again but he’s still better than any other English keeper by a country mile….We need to stick up for our own against all these clowns trying to put him down all the time!

 

[Rich1878]

I see him and his mates have been involved in a brawl because a load of helmets were calling him T-Rex

Pickford’s form for England is very good though. How many other England keepers have kept mistakes to a minimum, made big saves in crucial moments, and saved penalties? Tournament mentality is a completely different thing so it’s no surprise Southgate keeps picking him.

As for big saves for Everton, wasn’t there one just in the Villa game when there was a standing ovation for his save it was so good?

I was very critical of Pickford under Ancelotti because he had that spell where he was dropping balls and making an error a game, but since Olsen came in he’s been very very good.

He’s probably held to a higher standard than any other keeper though. If Ramsdale makes a few saves he gets lauded as englands number 1 despite the many many mistakes he’s making. Pickford can have huge periods without a mistake yet the second he makes a small one his international role is cast in doubt. If he was making the types of errors that Lloris Allison even Schemichal make all the time he’d be under huge pressure. The fact he ain’t shows how consistent he’s been recently.

The thing is, if Ramsdale was playing for us and Pickford for Arsenal. Form exactly as it is now, then there wouldn't even be a conversation to displace Pickford. The media have been trying to oust him for years but to their annoyance he's been pretty faultless for England. And Southgate ain't soft.

Jesus christ. I have forgotten about him. All season. Which is absolutely ace.

Fare play to him. To go from making 3 or 4 howlers a game and making you crap yourself to being unoticed with a few good saves sprinkled in.

Has to be quietly our most improved player by a distance?

Considering we are having a terrible season n all.

Or maybe he plays better with the expectations low? Nah I'm going tongivebhim the benefit of the doubt. Well in pickers.

Our most consistent player of the last 12 months. Hard to pick too many holes in his game since the Anfield Derby
