2017/18 Jordan Pickford

Let's put his on-pitch interview down to adrenaline eh

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?

I didnt say it was down to the GK and I do agree, sometimes the keeper is blameless, but the defence as a UNIT either keeps a clean sheet or doesnt. Now whether the defensive unit is the GK, 2 CBs, 2 FBs and 2 DMs, its on ALL of those to keep a clean sheet.

Of course the team wins or loses as a unit, but IMO, clean sheets are down to the defensive players, goals are down to the attacking players.

No trolling; on a standard season performance, I would put him fourth on that list, what do you reckon Spud

And if the keeper is the strongest link in an otherwise very weak chain, he's got no chance. Pickford hasn't had a defence in front of him that's helped earn those clean sheets over the last two seasons, has he? Put even a half-assed back four in front of him and see what happens; but when your back four includes any or all of the likes of Jagielka, Williams, Martina, Keane (tho I still hold out some hope for him) and a waning Baines, well, even Stevie Wonder can see what will happen.

i agree top 4, the other 3 are on the other side of the bracket as well

I'd say:

Becker
Courtois
Lloris
Pickford

But probs big Jordan can go up a place or two next season I think
