2017/18 Jordan Pickford

[hallamblue]

Hard to criticise him but that goal 2as absolutely his fault. The lad scored from the 6 yard line for Christ sake.

Also had happened 3 or 4 times in the first half.

 

[toffeejack]

when did we last have a clean sheet? pickford always pulls off great saves and doesn't deserve this.

 

[Muggins]

Sorry but Pickford was weak there.

The only person allowed to handle the ball and he allowed himself to be blocked by their player and one of his own and ended up in the net himself.

Sorry but that was [Poor language removed].

Great saves, but when it mattered he capitulated like the rest of them.

 

[Nymzee]

I'll judge him fully when he's playing behind a settled, decent defence.

 

[T LEAFE]

De Gea would look rubbish behind our defence.
Lay off him he is the least of our problems

 

[nsno-chris]

He’s a shot stopper

He’s not a goalkeeper, crap defence or not a good goalkeeper is aware of the risk. He his not

 

[ozz]

Both goals are due to his mistakes.

First goal, he should have run forward to close down on the player, instead he ran towards the line giving a greater angle to shoot.

Second goal is more of a mistake of Williams but inside the box Pickford should have come down knocking everyone on his path and punched the ball.

 

[cronullasharks]

I've got a lot of time for him but re-watching the 2 goals he is at fault as the pair of clowns in front of him.

 

[Mugwump]

I think Pickford is a decent young keeper, but what did you pay for him? was it 30 million? He is nowhere near a 30 million keeper.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

I don't think he's completely at fault for the first. The ball is much closer to the player than some of you realize. If he comes out, there's no way he's getting to it first, and likely the ball is played past him. That doesn't mean they are scoring and that it wouldn't have been a better idea to come out, but for Keane to let that happen AND he so far out of position on the play that he couldn't at least catch up and push the player to one side or another is the bigger issue.

I think Pickford is a decent young keeper, but what did you pay for him? was it 30 million? He is nowhere near a 30 million keeper.

He’s as much a £30m keeper at Gylfi is a £45m playmaker and Tosun’s a £27m striker, and Bolasie, Klaasen Etc. Pickfords done more of his job this season than the rest have.

 

[ProZ]

Blaming Pickford? Lol ok

 

[orly]

It is time for Robles. I can't quite believe it, but it is.

 

[abcshard]

England's number 1. Was told on here he was of the same ilk as De Gea.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

I've got a lot of time for him but re-watching the 2 goals he is at fault as the pair of clowns in front of him.

That's ridiculous It's a free header RIGHT in the zone of Ashley Williams. He literally has no other responsibility than that player. I understand getting beat on the header, but letting him get goal side on you? He has no other job on that one. None.

Burnley were doing a great job on set pieces - illegally I might add - in preventing the keeper from coming out. Give them credit. But there's no excuse for letting a free header happen inside the 6 on a corner. None.
