I don’t think he’d be criticised for the Henderson ‘goal’ if people weren’t as predisposed to pile on him as they are.

nonsense, most keepers would get criticism for that
you’d think we hadn’t been watching him make regular mistakes for ages now...
Luckiest man around! Been bailed out by our boss attack all season and then yesterday by some insane officiating.
He’s technically cost us 0 points this season even though he’s made a hatful of errors.
He should’ve been sent off when we were a goal down with less than ten minutes played and we’d have likely been hammered because of his rashness. Then he conceded in the last minute and should’ve lost us the game but again we were hilariously bailed out.

Nah it was bad. Equally as bad as Adrian pushing Keane’s header into the roof of his net but then he’s not their number one. We need better!

Is it a howler? Perhaps not, but it still wasn’t good enough. It’s not a question of can Pickford be a middle of the road keeper in most of our games. It’s a question of how often can Pickford win us points and limit the errors that put games in the balance. He is nowhere near world class or decent class for that matter since the infamous Silva derby. For that reason:

Totally agree. I'd like nothing more than a competent keeper who just does his job without any fuss. And if Pickford becomes that keeper great

I voted for him. Didn’t realise he made saves? Lovely that’s a bonus.
I thought he made at least three saves that kept us in the game, and his distribution seems back to normal - accurate deliveries deep into the opposition half. I do not see that the collision with VD was all his fault. He was not going for the player, and he put his balls on the line.
Even last season, comparing the number of saves with the mistakes (behind a leaky defence) he earned his keep. I don't like to blame Coleman, but there was nothing Pickford could do about the first goal yesterday. And Salah's goal was not stoppable. Pickford cut his teeth with Sunderland facing more shots than anyone. He needs to keep building on his confidence now. He cannot be taller, and his arms cant grow longer, but his judgement for reading the game and his enthusiasm are what can make him a much more than averagely effective blocker. Long may his mojo continue to rise. We don't have anyone better on the books.
I grew up with Gordon West in goal - he gave everything for the team. Even the mighty Southall needed time to settle. Give Pickford time. Trust in Carlo.

It was a reckless, terrible attempt to get the ball. I wonder if it was the years of abuse off the RS that made him go in that little bit too hard? Ultimately, it’s probably their own fault.

Never seen the media and pundits so up in arms over a challenge. Just seen a 5Live radio call in with Chris Sutton nearly crying over Pickford not being sent off. Full of proper red side snides the media, literally riddled with them.
I think I like him more now because of all this. He’s forgiven for his mistakes.

Not even arsed about Pickford himself but look at how up in arms all the little red snidey media are over this, literally all begging for him to be punished. Laughable.
Why aren’t the media calling for Henderson to be punished for accusing the Premier League officials of cheating?
