2017/18 Jordan Pickford

[little elfin]

He should play libero and spread the ball across the pitch. lol

 

[banno]

He must be in dream land. He is on a bigger wage and has less to do.

Good save at the end but also a good save from Crouch earlier albeit offside.

Important to see him coming off his line for some crosses to punch away and his distribution is excellent.

I was skeptical of the price tag. I was impressed yesterday though. Particularly with catching and punching. That talks pressure off the back 4 and gives them confidence. The saves are the eye catchers but not the be all and end all for me

Yes to me I think the coming for crosses is so important as you stated for relieving pressure off the defence. It goes a long way for confidence and also makes us fans not dread crosses as much as we did. He is also not shy and will bark at defenders to help them and keep them on there toes.

What was his and keanes price tags? I think the 30m is after addons have been paid.

He's got one big mouth on him.

Was shouting and instructing. The best thing. When he comes out - he comes out. 100% decisive. No messing around.

His whole physique. He's not the tallest but solid and decisive. Which is everything.

Was very impressed by him yesterday.

 

[bizzaro]

The situation is analogous to United's signing of de Gea several years ago - the club paid good money to acquire a young commodity that has already been proven at the highest level, and the only problem going forward will be fending off interest from bigger fish.

There is no bigger fish than Everton.

From memory Keane was 24 and Pickford 30. Could turn out to be a steal. Imagine what we would be like with Seamus

 

[KevMirallas]

That save gets better every time I watch it. It's dipping away from him like crazy, even at the point he gets his hand to it.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Anyone got a gif of the save or some footage?

 

[bluegirl]

Gunna be unbelievable for us.

Chants??

We need to start him every game now. I'll be disappointed if we rest him for cup games.

Good summing up of him yesterday. The one thing I've noticed so far is he's very calm and assured, particularly for such a young goalie. A quality I don't think we've had since Martyn.

 

[Blues Harp]

Had a perfect view of that save from 7 rows back in the park end...thought it was in until he got to it. Boss shouter as well. 2 points saved. Good start.

This kid will have £100 million price tag on his head by the end of the season. The boy has it all.
