2025/26 Jordan Pickford

[pfim]

So no other keeper in the Prem would have made any of the saves Pickford has made and all of them would have made that stupid mistake tonight. I'm not in the mood or have got the time to list all the mistakes he's made but when he does they're massive clangers. I'm just gonna have my tea. I hope I don't drop it off the corner of the tray.

I'm not sure that comparing him to other PL keepers is really going to work out in your favor. Just in our matches we've been the beneficiary of 3-4 clangers this season, including against guys who supposedly are his competition for the England shirt.

He made a mistake. He shouldn't have come out. It sucks, but it happens and he's a top 5 keeper in the PL, and we are not a top 5 side.

Look. The lad might have an absolute blinder next week and I will be the first to say how good he was. But he's ballsed up and cost us the game. He's not beyond criticism just because he's made some worldies. Stop thinking with hearts instead of heads.

Still a legend and super blue only rivalled by Nev for me. He's earned us more points than those 2 jokers vying to be our striker

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Big Nev was far better than pretty much every goalkeeper ever. Not really the fairest barometer of quality...

Big Nev and Schmeichel (Peter not Kasper) are the best I've seen

Yeah I really doubt you’ll be the first to say how good he was tbh.

Who cares what it looks like at that point?

Zero chance he went forward without Moyes telling him to.

I care. We gave Arsenal a narrative and result they didnt deserve. We are never scoring from him with a header. Or assist. Stay in goal. All keepers do is get in the way of their own players at set pieces

I dont think it is irrelevant. First goal is a huge error that costs the lads in front of him after a superb effort. The second I have to question if he decided going forward was a good idea or the coaches that manage him. Goals by GKs at corners seem 1 in 100, maybe more. Absolute shambles and left us looking like we got our arses kicked when in reality Arsenal were very fortunate.

Agreed but once it was 1/0 it was game over

He's a very good goalkeeper but not quite elite. That's why he still at Everton. But he's also been by far our best player for years now.

People think Donnarumma is one of the top 3 or 4 keepers in world football and he made a bad error the other night.

Even the greatest goalkeepers of all time, your Southalls, Schmeichels, Jennings, Buffons, etc all made mistakes.

 

[COYBL25]

He makes mistakes often. They might not be obvious to the untrained eye. But he makes them believe me.

Have a day off lad, between him and Richarlison in his last season last season, they kept us up.

His consistency and pulling off worldees this season has won us games, hence why his save against Newcastle will probably win him save of the season.

He`s made a mistake today, it happens, it`s not the end of the world.

Ps - you obviously have a " trained eye ", what are your professional goal keeping qualifications ?

If you check my posts back I have always said when he's had a good game. I wonder how many people on here would have refused to criticise Lineker who was probably the best striker in the world at the time and scored some great goals in his one season for us. But cost us the league missing a bagful against Oxford. No one one is above criticism.

Not so sure. A few weeks ago Moyes said the corners against United were not by design as getting the 'message' on was difficult. Players do their own thing sometimes

You're genuinely slating Pickford? Wow

We gave them the result they didn't deserve minutes earlier when Pickford went for a stroll.

I don't know what the narrative table looks like, I think we'd be smack dab in the middle of that this season as well.

I understand its painful after a defeat but take a step back and look at what the lad does week in week out, he is class....footballers are people not robots we all make mistakes if it wasn't for him we would be watching Everton v Derby today

 

[ToffeeTim]

Donnarumma just made another bad mistake

Should City sell him ?
