2024/25 Jordan Pickford

@Goat also @Moomin I have no issue with Pickford considering where we are atm and nobody can deny he has bailed us out on numerous occasions but he ain't immune from critique with certain things and today he looked too far forward and too far over to the side for that free kick. I also have no idea why fbref has such a strange way of assessing goalkeepers like that, there are other weird things on there but its all opta stuff which is what the clubs use at the end of the day just that the fbref people lay it out in a strange way (not the first time they have been accused of this tbf)

For me it does make him not a top GK and I'll always stand by my feeling that he should have been moved on years ago to help the finances.

Would we do better? Hard to say, I see someone like Bernd Leno who was basically just handed to Fulham and I think we could have done alright for ourselves while also still believing freeing up cash would allow us to do something like say not have to sign Jack Harrison on loan multiple times.

For the most part though he's good. As I said it's how he's bad on the occasions he is that drives me up a wall.

The discussion isnt should we have sold him for 60m a few years ago tho mate.

Yes, is probably the answer by the way.

Watch the replay. It’s nowhere near the corner.

We have the benefit of watching the replay, it’s a great strike much more than a bad goalkeeping error. Fernandes shapes to put it the way Pickford wants to go yes he’s gambled but it’s a lovely strike Fernandes has done him look how the ball moves. Cant believe I’m seeing Pickford getting stick, he’s got about 10 own goals in hand for me the performances he’s constantly come up with in our relegation scraps never moaned I’d imagine could quite easily of got a move if he wanted one absolutely loves it here and is one of us.

What metric would you use to rank Keepers?

Honest question, cos I find it difficult myself.

Save to shot ratio? xG against goals?

I think its hard to rank GKs, myself.

100% agree I do think its hard to rank keepers, whether its correct or not I don't know but have seen it mentioned about things like post shot expected goals/90 mins, stuff like that (think he ranks at 43 for that) I did a quick google and it comes back with that also, a few other things about save %. I totally agree and think judging keepers is tricky can depend on a few factors imo.
