i just can't see how people are saying his distribution is good.
Most of the time he over hits it - out of play or beyond the striker.
Very inconsistent
Started off brilliant and quite accurate, now he just seems to put his foot through it. It appears that its what he's been told to do judging from this interview yesterday
In an interview with the Times last weekend, Neville Southall said: “He kicks the miles and really hard all the time. Why? You have to vary your service. Play it into feet sometimes.”
Pickford was happy to put the record straight.
“I've got a few tools in my locker,” he said.
“I can play short if I want to play short, I can kick as far as I can kick it.
“With Arsenal we knew what they were like and what we were trying to get the gains in their half as deep as we could because we knew what a threat they were.
But if the gaffer comes to me and says we're going to play out and he wants me to hit areas like Ederson is doing at Man City then I'm capable of doing that.
“With his manager, Pep, that is the way they like to play and we have our own style. We don't take risks. If we can play out, we play out but we're not going to put ourselves under too much pressure and make mistakes that are not needed.
“Ederson is doing it with a lot of freedom but every manager is different and plays differently.
