Disagree with that and I'm very curious as for how long it will take for Pickford to get the crowd on his back. Imo the goalkeeper position at Everton is not one to envy. Standards are set unbelievable high by the goalkeeping legend that was Big Nev (and rightly so). Since Southall there has been only one goalkeeper that was seen as a more than decent successor.
I'm curious why you think the crowd would get on pickford's back so early. Surely the supporters are aware the pressure in the lad due to the transfer fee, if anything I think the opposite they will give Pickford some slack with regard if he makes any mistakes, as for the reason I have mentioned. One think about Pickford, he seems to have a very sound temperament which should hopefully stand him in good stead.

Pickford looks like the type to me who is going to relish the demands of Everton football club. I think he's right up our street.
 
United fans have loved players like berbatov and ibrahimovic who aren't known for lung busting effort, and players like cole and solskjaer who aren't known for finesse. Goals are universal, if he scores a load he'll be forgiven for the odd bad game, same as he is here.
This. If lukaku wasn't the world class finisher he was, the crowd at goodison wouldn't have been so supportive. Stats don't always tell the true story, but those today suggesting Rom to but the least amount of mileage in in the pitch are no surprise to Everton fans. He was respected (not loved due to him seeing us as a stepping stone) by the crowd for his finishing, not his overall effort.

Let's hope you're right. It's just that imo that especially the goalkeeping position at Everton is a very demanding job with huge expectations. Not meant as criticism towards the Goodison crowd, but just down to.the expectation levels. Hope he gets time and understanding when he makes an error.
