2024/25 Jordan Pickford

[everton1953]

It's all Pickford's fault.

Good keeper, got him too late and only played 2 seasons for us. That’s not enough time be included in such conversations (in my opinion of course)

Fair point

Watch us give up 20 corners a game to this BS, while the RS, Man Utd, Chelsea etc... never give up a corner, ever. There is a zero percent chance that this rule is administered evenly.

He's definitely going to be the first to get done for it.

It has just this second occurred to me. This, this screams spot fixing. Imagine having an agreement on earliest corner or total corners per game. Bookies will be screaming blue murder.

Also, 8 seconds in the hand... what if the GK bounces the ball? Throws it to a defender to head back?

Its a good rule that won't be enforced properly. I could have sworn they already had a seven second rule that would result in a penalty, but it was obviously never enforced so maybe I was hit with the Mandela effect there. A pen is too much. A corner makes sense.

It is 6 seconds atm, any offences to be penalised with an indirect free kick, not a penalty.

To award a corner seems bizarre. A corner should be for when the ball goes out of play. A corner for holding on too long seems artificial, should have kept it as indirect free kick imo.

It's already a rule and they've just made the punishment less severe. Its basically never going to get enforced anyway

Fed up of the authorities constantly fiddling with the rules purely to justify their own salaries.

I don’t think goalkeeper time wasting is a major issue.

It certainly doesn’t bother me much. Gamesmanship is part of the sport now, you just suck it up when the opposition is doing it, and enjoy it when your team is doing it.

Anything outrageous gets a yellow, and that’s fine as it is.

They'll enforce it hard for the first three weeks of the season, then ignore it completely. Like all new refereeing initiatives.

Had no idea Howard Kendall grew up in the same place as Jordan Pickford.

Thought it was the 1st March, not 1st April.

An indirect free in a crowded area maybe doesn`t give the attacking team as much of an advantage as a corner would, where you have already prepared for and have you`re attacking options spread out in the area.

 

[Bluebonic]

Absolutely not arsed about keepers holding the ball, why aren't they doing the same with knobheads grabbing layers with both arms in the box? Give a corner for every time the opposition do that and the game would improve overnight.
