2019/20 Jordan Pickford

[Chrismac]

If he can't get in ahead of Picko the Clown then it's safe to safe he's absolutely turd

The stats on SS today arent great reading for Lossl.. his goals conceded vs expected goals conceded is 2nd worst behind Kepa over the past two seasons.. +11

Is that the nazi TV channel?

He didn't - he conceded 70+ goals, or nearly 2 a game.

I agree, but he was often looked upon fondly for "keeping the score down" when either us or Sunderland lost. That's why he won our 17/18 player of the season, when the reality is that just everyone else was also crap so the keeper had more to do.

But that's what I mean when I say we should be much more critical of goalies for struggling teams, because they just tend to have more shots to save so can look good even if their team ships goals.

This is because Sunderland fans are defeatist wimp lickspittle losers.

I rated him in the first season but I think watching Cuco Martina play regularly distorted my view of every other player in the world. In fact Pickford managing to concede less than 200 goals with Martina playing in front of him for half a season is worthy of the Player of the Year award on its own.

I think he is worth persisting with. We certainly have more pressing issues to address (i.e. midfield). I feel a lot of highly regarded keepers make mistakes.. just when they do, it has more visibility due to the position. De Gea comes to mind for howlers. And Kepa this year was awful for Chelsea. We could do a lot worse.

Bleeding hell.

Laughable.

Made MORE errors leading to goals than both.

Plenty more errors that didn't lead to goals purely by luck too.

He was 3rd on the errors leading to goals metric last year, 2nd this year.

He's absolute toss and a little weasel to boot.

 

[Ballly]

He needs to go ..... I just don't see where

Sunderland? Bring the boy home and all that

 

[Grinch]

Has he been placed in Guantanamo Bay yet?

Kepa might be the only goalkeeper in the whole of the league who was arguably worse than Pickford. So it is actually very hard to do worse.

I would take Liverpool’s second keeper over Pickford in a heartbeat

That might be a step too far but it isn't to say that Arsenal and Spurs have backups who are easily better.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Romero or Ben Foster to come in, not as second choice, but as genuine competition for the shirt, for the barmy gurning Mackem. I’m pretty sure Carlo ain’t having him, but who’s buying him for decent money at this point? He needs a spell out the side to focus his scrambled head imo. He thinks he’s way better than he actually is. Either of those 2 would keep him right on his toes.

 

[MikeH72]

Don’t know what the Foster obsession is all about on here, on top of being 37 years old he’s just had a dreadful season.
