Well, duh. But if the back four are a bunch of somnambulistic pylons, like ours, then Neville Southall himself would look ordinary. You're totally clueless on this, aren't you? No shame in admitting it.
Not much a keeper can do about stopping a team from shooting. His save percentage is right behind Courtois. He’s a good keeper and he’s still very young. Why aren’t people happy with him?
 

People who should take more blame than Pickford for the goals we let in last season:

All our central defenders
Our shonky full backs except Coleman
The defensive midfielders
The midfield and forwards for being a bit crap at the "keeping the ball" thing
Koeman
Walsh
Big Sam
Wee Sam
Anyone involved in coaching defence

Honestly tho mate, clean sheets are down to the whole defensive unit, you always hear defenders being made up with a clean sheet.

Soz like, im not taking sides here, just that you cant say GK arent part of the defence.

Well, so are the midfielders and any forwards who care to track back. But to simply single out the keeper when the back four lets the opposition line up for potshots all game isn't fair, nor all that insightful. A keeper lets in the only shot he faces and his team loses 1-0, fine, he's the goat (no pun intended), but if he's beaten twice in a loss while facing a dozen shots or more and keeps his team in the game, he's still responsible for the defeat? Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Whatever happened to winning and losing as a team?
