2018/19 Jordan Pickford

[ijjysmith]

And that lies at the root of the problem. Pickford isn’t being pushed hard enough by a decent number 2, hence why is virtually assured of game time no matter what his performances have been like.

But then how do you buy a decent number 2 knowing they won’t ever really play.

Most teams have one main keeper.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

I think I’d be tempted too.

Just not a clue where’d we look next.

Me neither.

Pope isn’t as bad shout (says Irish Catholic) but I’d be hoping Brands sees the value here and is planning to cash in on a ‘name’ to get a functional keeper and build a team ahead of him.

With the greatest respect I, and I’m pretty sure a lot on here, couldn’t care less how he did for England.

And I'm not a big fan of England either mate but I've not written him off I mean. I thought when we bought him that was the goalkeeper position sorted for a few years.

So did I. But his mistakes this season are unforgivable. It will take a lot to win me back round.

But he’ll have time as I can’t see him going anywhere.

I think Pickford started to believe the Twitter hype during the world cup. Thought he was proper big time.

He's good and bad in Equal measure. Needs to drop the gum chewing like Joe Hart and decide to be a keeper and not a Twitter Gif sensation.

Yes mate, but they still provide opposition. Steklenberg doesn’t.

Do they though? Like does Lee Grant really push De gea?
I’d never even heard of the keeper Man City played in the week.

Liverpool win again and the Pickford thread gets bumped. Like clockwork.

Romero is really DeGeas no2.

6foot 6 beast from Kosovo that will now have HomeGrown status in the league.

Crafty buggers.

Romero is really DeGeas no2.

He doesn’t push him either.

 

[blulouie]

He doesn’t push him either.

He pushes a damn sight more than Stek tho.
City had Muric in the other night.
Claudio Bravo is back up.

Back up being the operative wording.Gone are the days of 2 keepers vying for the gloves at the top clubs.

Fact is most teams rely on one good keeper.

Dave told me that Burnley have 3 World Class Keepers.
