2021/22 Jordan Pickford

[Mr K.Dilkington]

Come on lads, let's not get carried away. The only worldie he made today was the one from Ronaldo. The rest of his game was NORMAL, which is all we ask.

Alright Roy "that's his job" Keane

 

[Vaughan]

Best goalkeeping performance at Goodison since Sebastian Frey for Fiorentina in 2008

 

[ProZ]

I am happy. I just think the standard has slipped when this is "brilliant" and "world class." That should be every third week.

Its similar when DCL knocks one in off his shin, he will be better than Kane again, you just have to expect it from some.

 

[ClausThomsen]

Nah I disagree, none of those saves are ones that should be going in. It was four saves, edge of the box near post, header at him, 25 yards near post not in the corner, and straight at him. Needs to be a clean sheet every time.

Give me a keeper who gets his positioning correct and doesn't have to make super agile saves any day of the week. And there was more to his game than shot-stopping today. His handling was spot-on, concentration was good and he commanded his box superbly when required. It was a very good performance.

If there was a keeper in the world capable of delivering that performance as standard every week there'd be statues of him outside the ground of whatever club was lucky enough to have him.

Got the basics correct today.

There are like 40

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

Would love to have a 6’ 5” keeper, who commanded his box, but then not many 6’ 5” keepers are as agile as our Jordon…

Some stunning saves today.

 

[ClausThomsen]

There are like 40

There really aren't. Every keeper makes little mistakes quite regularly and every keeper makes complete howlers every now and then. They might not always lead to conceding and sometimes don't affect the result in terms of win/lose/draw so they often go under the radar but they all make them.

Again, there isn't a keeper who performs like that week in / week out. The praise obviously goes over the top, such is the way of footballing hyperbole, but that was a not a "standard" performance.

It was pretty damn close. I'm not really sure which part ends up in our net and we're not in here fuming.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

He played great today and stood up to the challenge when we needed him. That is all you can ask for.

Well done to the lad.

Captain's arm band next season

 

[Zatara]

Continuing his good form.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Captain's arm band next season

Please no

 

[Joey66]

He made some crucial saves & at the end came off his line - needs to do this more in commanding his box - good game today - just one error with Godfrey being hesitant when it was his ball ....

 

[roy vernon]

He really has been good this season, it's funny, he's at the age now when Goal keepers often seem to mature into the players they can become.
