2017/18 Jordan Pickford

He's a vampire. He hates crosses. He very rarely comes out for them, the 2ND goal on Saturday was 2 or 3 yards from his line that's goalkeeper territory in anyone's book. In my opinion he's just not big or strong enough for the modern game. It's not like before when a 6ft centre forward or centre half was considered a big lad, they're 6"4' and 6"5' nowadays and surely the size of your keeper should reflect this.
 
Young for a keeper but I thought he was at fault for both Burnley goals, just hope he has the improvement in him that De Gea eventually showed. He is not as good as some on here would have you believe and some of his kicking is crap to be kind. Against Burnley he kept launching it left towards DCL - obvious BFS plan I suppose but I think this whole sweeper keeper and using them as an additional outfield player has crept into his game and I don't think he has the skill yet. If he could play footy he wouldn't be in goal.

I keep hoping for the players to decide among themselves to just sack that off as it quite obviously isn't effective.
 

Yes wish they would but they know they will be here longer than him. When the team was announced I thought BFS was going with two strikers against a team who were obviously out of form but as many on here knew he put DCL wide and launched balls towards him that I cant remember leading to anything.
 
Just don't understand the haters. There is so much to moan about this season, Jordan Pickford is not one of them.
He is not without faults, few are, but he's still as good as anyone we have had since Nev.
This all day long. Some of the draws and narrow victories we have had this season are because of saves made by this lad. Yes, he's made some mistakes but he's won us more points than he's lost us.
 

Can't understand the criticism myself. Then again, DDG was crucified by many in his first season at United. It's by far the hardest position on the pitch as any mistake made is normally costly. Yes, he should have and could have done better for the goals on Saturday, but he has kept us in so many games this season. For the second goal though, surely Keane and Williams are more at fault for allowing the guy a free header? All about opinions, but for me, Pickford is one of the highlights of a really poor, disengaging season.
