He should have been off for an idiotic challenge and we would have lost.
His keeping was as bad as usual.
Adrian looked like a decent keeper compared to Pickford.
Olsen can't be worse.

Big man coming through when it matters

If the lad has been injured, then that is genuinely unfortunate. As a former amateur keeper myself, I saw nothing wrong with Pickford's challenge. He spread himself to block the ball as he is entitled to do. There was nothing malicious in it. If he missed the ball and caught the man, then he would have conceded a penalty, but the ball was dead. No penalty. And no malice. Just brave goalkeeping.

I'm sorry, but VVD is in no position to point the finger at Pickford when he cynically put a "reducer" in on James in the first minute with ZERO intent to play the ball and full intent to target our best player. As Harald "Toni" Schumacher points out in his incendiary autobiography, smaller goalkeepers have to be more aggressive to earn the respect of opponents. Pickford imposed himself on this situation. The injury is an unfortunate hazard of the job. God knows, we have suffered enough of them.

I'd fault Pickford for plenty more before criticising him for making a barrier of himself and discomoding an opponent who deliberately sought to take out a gifted player in the first play of the game.

i would pick 7 months van dijk injury over 3 points

 

[Nyhus]

Van Dijk out 7 months

Turns out Pickford is the annihilator of enemy combatants we needed all along. I dont wish injurys on opposition players, but the first thing VVD did was go after James, so cant say im too upset by this.

agreed it was the only good thing pickord done today

He made 2 good saves but thankfully his blushes were saved by VAR bending the line to rule it out hahahahhaha

No coz it was offside
No, it was better than we've seen lately
No he didn't
Who knows

Kept us in the game several times with world class saves and took out the RS best player for practically the rest of the season without so much as a booking.

That'll do Pick. That'll do just fine.
