Do people think we're going to reach a point where our defense never gives up shots?
Yeah that’s what I said isn’t it ?
He has let in loads of goals this season because our defence has let so many clear goal scoring opportunities through. Look at the City game, he was outstanding and then with ten minutes to go Keane slices the ball, nobody tracks Foden and boom 1-0. Look at the very first game of the season, Keane let’s Southampton’s striker through one on one and he emphatically finished, no way any keeper was getting that.
I was massively critical of Pickford a year or so ago because he was causing problems with his positioning, shot stopping and mentality the only thing he was good at was reaction saves because of his reflexes. The last year or so he’s only been directly at fault for a tiny amount of our conceded goals, such as Spurs’ second goal.
We’ve conceded 47 premier league goals this season - go find me how many you can justifiably blame on Pickford.
