2024/25 Jordan Pickford

I agree.
I'd like to hear from someone who sits in either end what his in play talking is like.
I have no issue bollocking anyone for a mistake etc which he does, but is he positioning players and instructing during play?
He’s giving instruction signals when he’s taking free kicks and the players are sixty yards up the field, he thinks he’s bleedin’ Pirlo!
 
He was better and steadier in the second half. Think that coincided with Branthwaithe having an excellent second half. Really needs to stay focused. Was a calamity at times in that first half. Has had a very poor start to the season
 

I rarely watch MOD because of our poor performances. Watching it last weekend I saw average/poor teams playing the ball out from the back, not always successfully. Surely it must be Dyche tactics to explain why Pickford skies the ball in the general direction of Calvert-Lewin on most occasions? Just occasionally he threw the ball to an Everton player. I say copy the rest and try playing it out from the back. The Palace observation that "we knew we only had to deal with long goal kicks and set pieces" was embarrassing to read. Dyche????

Errr, you do realise that both our goals started off in exactly the same way, Pickford taking a left footed kick from the left side of our own half putting the ball deep into the opposing half . Go back and watch them again . It may not be Pirlo but it’s Dycheball and Pickford executed it 🤷‍♂️

I remember the first goal from watching it in The Upper Bullens , Palace played a ball out of defence, this was after Everton had lost the ball, and Young nipped in smartly to take that ball away from the Palace player it was intended for, Harrison made a quick run on the outside of the penalty area taking at least two Palace players with him creating space for Young to cut inside and place a delicious pass to McNeil who scored with a more delicious shot giving the Palace ‘keeper no chance.I also noted numerous clearances from Pickford going straight to Palaces ‘keeper or defenders, a couple sliced into touch because he had to use his right foot. In the first half he was like a cat on a hot tin roof, losing the ball twice close to goal and ranting and raving at everyone, in the second half he looked a lot calmer and even came out to collect some balls in the air, whatever happened at half time, if it happened to calm him down, it wants to continue in the future and then a lot of us can bleedin’ relax with him.

So you either didn’t see or don’t acknowledge that both goals originated with Pickford starting the attack , fair enough , it’s just a statement of fact, you’re still allowed to criticise Pickford if you chose to.

It’s a statement of fact that he boots the ball down the pitch for Dominic to try and head it on which happened but Everton lost the ball so that was the end of that attack and then Young stoped Palace from attacking by intercepting that pass and started another move which resulted in the first goal.

Will you admit you get nervous whenever Everton concede a corner and that nervessness

Will you admit you get nervous whenever Everton concede a corner and those nerves are caused mostly because Pickford is very poor at dealing with corners, crosses and free kicks that enter his six yard area
