2018/19 Jordan Pickford

[18efc78]

No he didn't, not at all.

There was absolutely no sign of a mistake coming. It was a fluke. The ball literally, by the laws of physics, should have gone out of play even with Pickford's touch.

He's to blame, he knows it, but it was a moment - a few seconds - of pure madness.

The ball had that much spin on after Van dicks flukey slice the ball has gripped his gloves and spun back, a normal contact wouldn't have had that much spin and just gone over the bar

Everton didn't deserve that.

 

[BlueToff]

He made a mistake; keepers make mistakes. Let’s not go all OTT saying we should sell him you fannies.

Not like Evertonians to be complete freaks

Two derby catastrophes.

You dont come back from that. This fixture has defined him as a GK already.

No way back.

Doubt anyone but you thinks that .
Jordan certainly won’t when he plays 100 plus games for England and moves onwards in his career.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I can understand his hand/s hitting the bar reasoning...just sucks. Ah well, onwards.

Great keeper, I'm sure the manager and players will act like adults and not act like the RS did in the champions league final, main thing is he gets a great reception on Wednesday and we press on

Hope Jordan's ok. I;d hate to think he feels bad about it.

We just need him focussed for the equally massive game against Newcastle now. A good performance against them will put things right....

No no.

David has said it now Jinks. It's fact.

It's just "Everton being unlucky at Anfield again" though. Not Jordan's fault.

 

[ijjysmith]

Potentially a good thing it’s Newcastle on Wednesday.

He bloody hates them.

 

[davek]

Jordan's mentally tough, he said. I wonder when that'll translate to big match winning performances for us then?

Still, the lad believes himself, and he'll quickly forget about this and leave it behind. That's nice for him. I wish I could do that. Must be great being so philosophical when you just committed the biggest bollock in Merseyside derby history. Hats off to the lad.

 

[coollino]

Wish we had EPL winner Richard Wright on our books right now.

 

[chrissyjack]

Potentially a good thing it’s Newcastle on Wednesday.

He bloody hates them.

He's gonna launch one of his long passes , and it will fly into the top corner


* of the goal , not the stand before anyone says it

PICKFORD

“It was a freak one, really. It had hit the bar twice and I tried to flick it over. The ball spun and as I tried to flick it over, my hand hit the bar. It’s unfortunate but I am strong mentally.

“I just want to say sorry to the Everton fans. I think you could see our progression as a group, the chances we created and the football we played. That’s a positive but what can I do? There is always a case as a goalkeeper if you make an error it will lead to a goal. Unfortunately, it has been me today but I will be ready for Newcastle on Wednesday. We know we held our own against a good Liverpool side for 96 minutes. I will say sorry to the Everton fans again because I know how much it means to them. As players, we know how much it means to us. You make mistakes every now and again. It’s not something you can learn and train and get better from. It’s just a freak incident.”

It definitely is something he can learn from. He made a mistake. It happens. But he shouldn't be blaming luck tbh.
