Jordan Pickford

[evertony]

No, translates to - Perhaps he only looks good because he's been kept really busy playing for a crap team like Sunderland. A bit like Mignolet did before he signed for the RS. And look how that turned out for them.

I know for a fact that Rodgers picked Mignolet from a selection of keepers on statistics alone. Mignolet had more significant stats than the others as a consequence of the higher number of shots he faced.

So do I, Toulouse FC have also a young goal keeper who is good, however I think Pickford's main asset is his kicking skills, could easily help us score 5+ goals a season

Explain this to me please?

Pickford can pass a ball very well, lot of goalkeepers look like big lumps who are bullied as kids who thrown into net, not Jordan

We still need someone, Lukaku apart, to score though?

I don't think he commands his box very well to be honest. He's got a touch of the Shay Given's for me. Who incidentally was another keeper people used to crow about a number of saves he used to make. The Newcastle fans used to call him world class. Turns out he wasn't that good either.

Pickford maybe a good shot-stopper, but so are most of the other premier league goalkeepers. I want a bit more from a Everton keeper myself. But maybe that's just me.

If we do end up signing him I hope he proves me wrong though.

Shay Given was good

 

[marsh]

His kicking skills are that good hes on free kicks next season

 

[spudmuncher]

Shay given was top class

Must be why Sunderland were such goal machines this year.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

He's not going to command the box. But he does everything else really well. He's very good now and still has a chance to be great. And yes, his distribution is world class.

Shay Given was good

Shay given was top class

In my opinion, he really wasn't. It was like he was constantly glued to his line. Good shot stopper yeah. But the reason he had to make so many saves is because he never came off his line for the ball in the first place.

It's not just the number of saves he makes that's the reason people rate him, look at the quality of them, saves that he has no right to make. His handling is excellent, as is his distribution, command of area is something that is only going to improve with experience. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised if he did end up playing for us.

 

[Grand Duke of Marmite]

Well, hopefully you're right. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

No we wont. Everton.

It will drag on....forever
