I think you have to look at the defence and midfield he is playing behind, I am not sure that many keepers could do that much better in the circumstances and certainly I do accept that he has made some high profile blunders.

The defense has been fine. They’ve given up like the 4th least amount of shots in the league. This isn’t last year where he was being pelted. He saved our tails last year often, but our defense was truly awful.

The Goalkeeper is exposed because of the defence and the midfield.
The defence is unsure because of the goalkeeper and the lack of midfield protection.
The midfield is under performing because of the defence and the forwards.
The forwards are struggling because of the midfield.
The whole squad is inconsistent because the manager keeps changing things.
The manager can't be blamed because it's not his squad of players.
Sounds like we're nearly there, just a few tweaks.

No no no.
The defense is concededing fewer chances and Pickford is letting in more of them relative to last year and much of his career. He’s also doing so more often than others in the league. He’s not playing well. This is pretty simple.
The tesm has collective issues, but you can surely measure individual performance. He faces chances and shots just like any other keeper. He’s at best performing average at dealing with them.
I still cant decide if he should be dropped or not for Chelsea.
One side of me thinks yes, he was all over the place on Saturday and if it was an outfield player he would be dropped
The other side thinks he needs backing, the old arm around the shoulder - not binning
I see Pickford as similar to Joe Hart, capable of brilliance and equally capable of the ridiculous - Since Pep dropped Joe Hart he's been to West Ham and Burnley and ultimately been dropped by both - Which leads to the question that was Pep was right and Joe hart wasn't good enough? Should Marco do the Same?

Roy Keane is a bad knobhead though.
Ferguson would be in no position to comment with his timely suspensions etc.

How's Baz these days?
Yep probably about as successful as Dunc as an assistant coach..... but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about someone being able to deliver some home truths.
It's not about scaring it's about telling a young lad who things he's the mutts nuts that he needs to reign it in.
Shall we replace Keane with Vista or butcher or Sutcliffe or Reid them? Or maybe just say.... "what would fergie do?"
Baz???
Once a goalkeeper starts making stupid mistakes and behavin like an idiot it's usually the start of the end.
Seen loads look Good and then fall away once their head gets too big or they get made to look daft. David James, Joe Hart, Green,...
Steady Eddie's like Martyn, van der Saar etc..
Named in England squad as expected, along with Michael Keane.
