being normal and also keeping clean sheets, hopefully the penny has dropped for him

The one in the second half which glided past the far post, with any touch being a goal, was my only concern yesterday.
Apart from that, Pickford did everything he needed to do yesterday and he did it well.
Feel safer with him in nets than most other keepers in the league.

He seems to have turned a corner since the Newcastle incident. It may have been a bit of a wake up call for him.
Class act since the Newcastle game. Very good keeper who is only gonna get better.
....the next calamity could be just around the corner, so a bit early to gain my full trust but he’s been terrific so far.

Definitely my thought as well seems a lot calmer more assured less impetuous .which will probably mean he'll have a stinker against villa

I can't ever overlook "that" incident, but he has won us points in these two games so happy in turn to give credit when due. If he keeps that up, then great.

But he is a keeper, there is always a calamity around the corner. What matters is the saves that are needed week in, week out, which he has produced more or less from day 1
We are lucky to have him
...I don’t think that necessarily the case. Calamities are few and far between for the best keepers, Newcastle and Anfield last season.
He’s a fantastic shot stopper, no doubt about that, but it will take a prolonged ‘calamity-free’ period before i totally trust him. He’s undoubtably helped us to 4 points this season, but he still makes me nervous.

De gea is the same at least per season, so was plenty of other top keepers. Of course the absolute legends of the game had fewer but they were still there.
But you take the net result of:
2 calamities
+ saves that are crucial at the right time and win us points
He is definitely very very much in the positive numbers there by a long way
There are plenty of other keepers that almost every match let shots under the body, wrong positioning leading to a goal etc that don't stick out because they are not so dramatic.... But they are calamities too!
Not saying he is perfect, but definitely one of the very best in the league and that's an important foundation for any team
