2019/20 Jordan Pickford

[mkrudden]

First was just a good goal

That's ok you know?

 

[Gilbert..]

sets the pattern for the game really , no chance with any for me,but anyway some will blame him as usual
see as ever the ones that want to blame him for the goals as usual dont give him credit for the saves

Afternoon Jordan.

There were worse out there today, still not a fan though.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Terrible, terrible. it is all Pickford's fault. Oh hang on, he was MOM in the Echo.

I didn't mention Pickford?

 

[everton1953]

Pickford was good today, although I understand some could never ever say so.

 

[14towestham]

Why did he move his body weight to the left before the shot for the first goal?

That completely unneeded act led to him being slow to react to the shot to his right which he was a splitsecond behind,

 

[Seamus Colemole]

How is first goal his fault? Davies loses his man, he's positioned where he should be and the shot is straight in the corner.

Because people hear the phrase "keepers shouldn't get beat at their near post" repeated over and over again by clueless pundits like alan smith which then just gets repeated any time a shot goes in at the post it's nearer to than the other post.

It's total bollocks cause people say it without realising what is actually meant by it. It's when the ball is very wide of the goal at a tight angle and close to the goalline that a keeper shouldn't get beaten at their near post because it means they've left a gap, that's basic goalkeeping 101 not to do that when the ball is out wide.

Mount was only just outside the line of the near post and it was a good hard and low shot into the corner whilst unmarked.

Pretty much unless the ball is dead centre of the goal the ball is always going to be nearer one post than the other, doesn't mean a keeper is it fault if the ball goes in at that post. The goal is 8 yards wide, no keeper in the world can cover both posts at the same time .

....fine today and I wouldn’t particularly blame him for the first goal because Mount took the strike very early. Regardless, he remains a calamity and I prefer a goalkeeper who’s not a calamity.

Not judging Pickford fully until we have a back line that can actually do its job, defend as a unit.

 

[Abraders]

Sooner we get rid the better

Not judging Pickford fully until we have a back line that can actually do its job, defend as a unit.

...I suppose there’s an argument to suggest we shouldn’t judge our CBs until we get a reliable keeper.

If the keeper sits in behind CBs, cant see how you logic works, but hey, willing to see any new formation that gets us winning!

Well, having seen DeGea, Emerson, and the Chelsea keeper with what little he had to do, today, Pickford is a better shot saver and has safer catching of crosses than any of them. And he has less mistakes in him.

 

[davek]

Yeah, did well today. Only 4 he let in.

FFS, how do people give this divvy credit for just conceding 4 goals?

I've never seen that feller have one of those games where he plays out of his skin and saves the day. Some GKs have them. Not this feller.

To state "it could have been 8 only for Pickford" is a pisstake.

Ha Ha Ha Ha.
