2024/25 Jordan Pickford

Just off the top of my head, Keane was the main one at fault for Richie’s goal, and tarks should be winning a header vs macallister every day of the week.

Yeah but he literally just let the header go in mate.

Fact that he's a) a keeper and b) never ever in the press makes it go underdiscussed how amazing it is that he's stuck with us all these years. Consistently been at least a top 5 keeper in the league for years now, while we've been one of the worst teams around in relegation scraps every year. Imagine if keeper was a weak spot for us, instead of having his quality? We would be a championship team right now, end of.

Plus he's a nutter. An absolute hero for me, I'm so glad he's here.

Yes mate.

Caught in no man’s land for the Villa goal

Should’ve come for the cross for Richarlison’s goal

At fault for MacAllister’s goal

At fault for Fernandes’ goal today

We’ve won games and he’s also been at fault for goals.

Don`t think he was at fault for the Villa goal, we lost the ball in side the Villa half cheaply and ended up having to chase towards our own goal. He comes out too early leaves himself open to a lob into an open goal, staying on his line just gives the Villa lad time to pick his spot. He came out to pressure the shot and the Villa lad kept his head and found his spot.

That Spurs goal was a complete team effort, the whole team went to sleep. Let a quick corner be taken, no pressure put on the cross, Tarks jumped for to head the cross and got nowhere near it, similar to the cross for MacAllister`s goal. Pickford has assumed that Tarks is heading the ball away and is caught out when it goes over his head, that was a mistake. As Ritchy as a goof CF is in a position to make the most of the ball if it comes all the way through to the back post, he`s not in that position but expecting it to be cleared. Pickford has a good view of that cross but should be getting in a position to either catch it if Tarks doesn`t head it clear, but he`s assumed Tarks will deal with it and is caught out when Tarks can`t get his head to it. Could even have given Tarks a shout to get out of the way and had an easy catch.

Every goal that`s conceeded can be looked at afterwards and a lot of the time you can pick out something that someone could have done better to prevent it, and that it usually a defender and the keeper.
