He simply had all day to save it and gave them a lead. For me he is like Tim Howard, OK but never fills me with confidence.

Goalkeeper is not the position that is stopping us from competing for the top 4. It's probably like 7th on the list of needed improvements
Fantastic Nobody blamed him for every goal did they. You are moving the conversation to one that never existed to make a point against one that was never raised. You could be PM or President with that attitude.
Would rate it as 3rd myself.

I've got CM, CM, CM a third time, CB and RB ahead of it.
Coleman was great today but he's been up and down at best this season and like Baines recently it is becoming clear that he just doesn't have the legs to play in fast paced games defensively. Watch how long it takes him to close down players when the ball is switched to his side.
I like Keane but I don't think he has it and a smaller faster player to cover Mina wouldn't be a bad idea.
I think we have some decent players in midfield. Gomes and Delph are fine, Schneiderlin is having a decent season and Gbamin could still come good. But if we are going to push on we need someone to replace Sigurdsson, we need a true box to box threat and we probably need a better anchor (maybe Gbamin is this guy but too early to say).
And that's assuming that all of our young wingers and strikers continue improving. It's possible we will need an improvement there before we need to seriously consider whether Pickford is good enough. It's just way down the list.
I still think there is the potential to be a decent keeper in Pickford. However, his over confidence is very concerning, he thinks he can bring the ball out of his box like Bobby Moore in his prime, it nearly cost us a goal today and will on another day, he seemed to think it was amusing too.
All keepers are capable of breathtaking saves, it’s what they practice all week, what makes the difference between a competent keeper and a very good one is making fewer mistakes. At this moment in time, Pickford’s lapses of concentration and his tendency to think he is the best keeper in the league is holding him back. As for his repeated interviews stating that he is a much calmer player this season, words fail me.

Sorry mate but plugging in De Gea wouldn't suddenly turn us from 8th to 4th. It doesn't work like that.

Being brutally honest I'm not sure he'd be any other clubs first choice. Championship players have made it into the England team before so it's no sign of his quality.

Time to cash in and get a decent keeper in.
He's a bit mental.

Not as good as he thinks he is, we should cash in
