2020/21 Jordan Pickford

[Khalekan]

we need to trust carlo on this.

I would love to as I have wanted Pickford dropped this long time.

But I cannot understand why Carlo has already stated that Pickford plays next week.

What happens if Olsen has a great game, saves a penno and keeps a clean sheet?

A bizarre thing for Carlo to say IMO.

 

[Khalekan]

They can see it as that all they want, he's been our worst player and if anything it'll benefit us. They claimed andre gray as a victory, but nobody can take that embarrassing defeat v Burnley away from them.

Kopites want nowt more than Pickford to remain our starting goalkeeper.

Very strange that Carlo would assure Pickford of his place next week when though w don't know how Olsen will perform today.

That's a ridiculous decision if true. Makes no sense.

That's a ridiculous decision if true. Makes no sense.

It's true - there's a quote from Carlo on the official twitter page.

Wise to take him out of the firing line, both for performance reasons and his own mental health.

Bit odd to confirm he's back in for United so early.

Shall we all start guilting the media and RS fans, a broken knee can bend, a broken mind may never be fixed, they've literally killed him, the scum

 

[andy4efc]

Lacking any real quality in midfield, defenders dont want to play Allan the ball.

I get the feeling that's why he said it. This way he's dropped Pickford without dropping him. He can say Olsen did really well so will stay in or, if he doesn't do well, Pickford is back next week. Either way, it feels like a kick up the arse for t-rex arms.

We missed Pickford today. He would have completed the picture.

 

[tommytowne]

Carlo has made Southgate's mind up for next batch of international games.

 

[gianthogweed]

Empty stadium no fans to wind him if he is that fragile just leave him on the bench it's about time he got a reality check

 

[radiostar]

I'd keep him on the bench for the next few games.

Strange call by Carlo.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Carlo has looked at Pickford's history when he's played against Newcastle and thought, hmmm...

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Carlo says a lot of things.

I'll be suprised if Pickford is back in for Utd.

It's a pity Jordan Pickford didn't play the Newcastle game; we could've blamed him for their second goal by claiming he should have tipped the deflection off Mina over the bar.
