Jordan Pickford

[RFUS]

He's not saying he's not in fairness.

He's just saying that in that position he'd rather have experience in. Someone who can not have much to do for 50 minutes before pulling a save out of nowhere.

His argument is that it's easy to look good in a crap team - though Pickford has pulled out some top-class stops tonight.

This is my worry. Looking ace in a team that gets battered doesn't mean you'll be great in a team that can often only rely on you once or twice a game.

That said, I have to emphasise how good a game he's had tonight. Probably the best performance from a keeper I've seen this season.

Stek and Howard have a tonne of 'experience'... both ultimately turd though. This lad is as good a keeper as we could attract at this moment in time, however it won't be for the 10m that the press keep saying we've bid

Oh I agree mate, he's been brilliant.

I'd be delighted if we signed him. But I could understand people having reservations as well.

Sunderlands shots on target against ratio is not that different to ours!

Well yeh that's the flip side of the coin which is what my argument was.

But yeh, by the press, it's just the M*****, so don't take it as the truth - they make up rumours for fun.

Totally agree. Top bracket keepers won't come to us yet.

 

[nsno-chris]

Just wait till he fails to come for a cross and is at the bay of the ket wigs in lower street end.

They'll ruin him

That cannot be true.

The media are really trying to sell Pickford to a big team tonight

For anyone doubting the lads ability from a poor Sunderland side.
We signed the Best of the Best from....Bury.

He'll be the England keeper pretty soon.
Lets hope its for us and not another club.

Pretty slick piece of skill from Defoe there as well.

Said that before. The commentators were jizzing over him.

 

[bluesb1970]

That cannot be true.

3.8 vs 6.4 as of last weekend

Errrm. They've faced about 100 more shots on goal than we have. They face more than anyone in the league. We're mid table on that list.
