2024/25 Jordan Pickford

[Ged G]

I said exactly that. Recent memories of Bruno literally being able to pass the ball into the net in an exact same position as yesterday.

All keepers, ALL of them make misjudgements and even howlers. But, ultimately, Pickford has been our most reliable and best player for several seasons.

No argument from me on that. He owes us nowt.

Pickford is boss
Zero complaints from me
Lucky to have him

I know I should not draw attention to media sh.te, but anyone see remarks by Keith Hackett that as well as Tarko, Pickford should have been sent off for an incident at the final whistle? I know I am biased, and hate and loathe the RS, and deliberately have not watched the Derby, but some of the RS biased media are scumbags. There, that is off my chest

yes, we are biased, but I have started to see that many non EFC fans are also now seeing that the rules are seemingly different for LFC... it has become that blatant.

Great save that meant nothing, mistake for the goal that did mean something.

Will ask again, what mistake?

big nev’s on some tnt show saying he’s average and that players should never be told they can’t play

Superb that. I know Moyes has us a little more open in order to offer more up top but he's still come through with 3 clean sheets and the defense working hard as a unit .

Said same when asked about Ndiaye. He doesnt rate a lot of modern day players it seems.
Only caught 5 mins of it mind.

Very few goalkeepers in football history are.

In England, in the 1980s, I would say only Shilton, Clemence, and Jennings could compare. Schmeichel in the 1990s. Has there been anybody this century to approach these levels consistently? The players I have mentioned here lasted for well over a decade in each case, sometimes two.

Seaman was a good keeper, but not in this class. Cech was never the same after that bad head injury. I don't really rate anybody else - and I love goalies, being an amateur one at Mickey Mouse level in my younger days.

Internationally, in the 1980s, the best keepers in my book were Rinat Dasaev - probably the only keeper of the 1980s who truly rivalled Southall for me - Harald Schumacher and Jean-Marie Pfaff. All were great in different ways. Dino Zoff was past his best by then, and Sepp Maier had retired.

From the 1990s, the highly eccentric Thomas Ravelli was memorable - and far better than his eccentricity suggested, Andreas Köpke was excellent for a few brief years, and Andoni Zubizarreta was always formidable, but none were in Big Nev's league. I liked Peruzzi and Pagliuca, too. Very good. Oliver Kahn was incredible for a while in the 2000s, but his private life got in the way of his career, so his time at the top at international level was brief enough. Gianluigi Buffon was the best since. Iker Casillas had a very good decade, too. Manuel Neuer was fantastic up to winning the World Cup. I think he dropped off a cliff then. I like Jan Oblak of the current crop, but I think he lacks the huge personality to win the shootouts that his teams consistently lose. Too quiet for my liking, not enough ego.

Anyway, this rambling treatise was brought to you in association with nostalgia. Bottom line? I don't think many in history compare to our Nev.

Going back a while I know, but, Gordon Banks was the best of the rest in my view. It would be very difficult to say, with any certainty who was the better keeper between these two. The rest were a long way behind Southall and Banks. Lev Yashin, the Russian keeper in the 60's was another very good keeper, but, not quite in the same class as Southall and Banks.

I think we are seeing more of a true reason why Big Nev was kept away from the club for so long.

You wouldn't want to be sitting next to him , economy, middle of the row, long haul flight, would you?

How anybody can have a go at big Nev for criticising Pickford or any other keeper is beyond me. If anyone has got the right to have an opinion on goal keepers then our best ever keeper and once the best in the world without question, has the right. Some people may not agree with him but he's got more right than anyone.

He or anyone can say what they like. Doesnt make him right or wrong because of who he is, or what he has done, same as some of our own fans dont like Pickford etc
