2023/24 Jordan Pickford

[irishgoose]

Never heard an Everton fan call Pickford T-Rex. Only the Geordie beauts.

Ha bs in here he has been called t-Rex arms

 

[irishgoose]

Usually don’t see this viewpoint tossed around but it’s 100% correct. Pickford should have probably been sold at least 2 seasons ago. Keeper remains the most replaceable position.

THANK YOU! Finally ! FFS I’m getting murdered in here !

 

[irishgoose]

well your saying to sell our GK

so you know what mean mate

you don’t promote that

Sell SELL sell!

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Underestimated by many and by looks here too, Pickford marshals the defence well, better than most. The lad from palace at the back for England stated big part he settled quickly, down to Pickford constantly communicating and organising the entire back line. Goalkeeping and leadership are different things, they dont come as one.

I this may have something to do with the fact that you called him “turd” a few pages back

If it’s true that Kev does have a figure against every player that he would sell at, I wonder what JP’s is?

In truth we probably wouldn’t liberate enough funds from replacing him with someone younger.

And he has been pivotal in keeping us in the league the last few seasons, so there’s that.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Yes this ! That’s all.

Yea I’m not a fan of t-Rex long punt, silly not to cash in on him and improve in other areas by sacrificing a small percentage in one.

 

[PhoenixIreland]

Madness to sell him. Easily one of the best goalkeepers in the world. Saved our bacon so many times...

He’s been fine. I think people get sold on the spectacular saves and just ignore that shot to shot he’s nothing special. He’s weak from long range and always has been (Simons goal in the semi being an example). Not to say he should save that or should save all of them but he misses a higher percentage than most. Then he makes up for it with incredible reflexes.

Basically he’s strong in some areas and weak in others. The word for that is average. If we can sell average players and replace them for less we should be doing it.

Well if he’s average I fear he’d be replaced with complete then. Much harder than you think to find a consistent premier league keeper, and it’s probably the one position we could do without having to replace when it’s not needed. An average player that’s won us numerous points, I will take that.

This thread’s gone mad. There are sooo many positions we need to sort before even considering looking at Pickford, no matter how much cash he might raise. He’s consistent and has kept us up. You can’t say that about anyone else in the squad.

Plus, VVD. That’s given use endless fun with the bad hanks at the tin mine.

He can't save you, he talks utter waffle too
Pickford could save you though, that's his thing

He doesn't miss a higher percentage than most. Want to back up that claim with some actual stats?

Proof?

Not sure this is appropriate language for a fan of the dark side

 

[micknick]

Honestly I'll meet any Everton fan for a fight if they want to sell Pickford.

You're trying too hard, mate.
