I'm not accepting that every save he makes is world class. He makes every save look world class, but that's because he's always out of position and loves the camera.

Getting lucky is sometimes all about being in the right position. You create your own luck
Sure, perhaps it was pretty much my strategy in my late teens and 20s, but the point still holds

would you call Oliver Kahn, Peter Shmeichel "humble"? Buffon the fascist?
Humble is not the first thing i think of when i think of great goalkeepers.....

And thats all we will do i think, get a decent number 2 to challenge him if one is around, not one to replace him

With the money we have we should be looking at the likes of Oblak.

Anyone blue who went to the Everton Legends at the Empire tonight will have heard from Southall who called Pickford;
"The Ross Barkley of Goalkeepers"
Instinctive he has potential which I think we all agree with but he has too much time to prepare for games which lets his mind wander which leads him trying to get involved in stuff he doesn't need to do.
Southall is SPOT ON and his final note was perfect.
"someone needs to sit him down and tell him stop being a t*t"

He pulled off a worldie as his positioning is terrible.
The Man U game at Old Trafford this season, one handed save, looked awesome if you completely ignore that he had gone too far to his right and then had to overstretch to make the save. Unlike this occasion, many saves he doesn’t make due to poor positioning, with the ball just out of reach.
This weak positional sense i believe he can work on, what I don’t believe he can improve is his lack of concentration. It’s a flaw that’s in him. We all have flaws. The hyperactivity, constantly twitching, or shouting, or reacting to the crowd/what’s going on on the field. That’s who he is. Jumping up and down like a madman after the opening save in a penalty shootout vs Leicester...never seen anything like it. The calm, composed, unflustered assurance that top keepers have, he is completely devoid of any of that.
The most concerning part of this article is the fact that he doesn’t know the difference between a punter and a pundit.

Don't know if it's a Geordie or mackem thing but his antics remind me of a young Gazza. And we know what happened to him

Good call but I also think we should sign Casper Schmeichal's baby boy as soon as he is delivered........just planning ahead like
No. I understand that. Judging if you can reach a ball before another man is intuative to a nine year old. Pickford is useless at that, as was Tim Howard. GET RID!!!
