Great keeper,but Gordon Banks he isn't.

Serious question. Did you ever see Banks play?
Yes, he was good, and made THAT famous save vs Brazil, but overall JP is better.

Not a mention of this on the BBC website ,if he was playing for the RS they would have been all over it.

Dont agree mate ,he would be only number 4 for Everton after Southall,West and Martyn

People may argue whether he is the best or not, but right here and now, he is definitely the most important

Unfortunately I'm old enough to have seen Banks quite often. He commanded his area far better than Pickford and Pickford has played so many games like last night without a meaningful save to make.

You are entitled to you opinion Ged, but Banks played in the golden era of both English and International football and. Was widely considered by his contemporaries as the best of his day. I genuinely don't see JP as being anywhere near those levels. Yes he is undoubtedly cruelly underrated by the media and by other fan bases, but I personally don't see JP as being better than Banks.

He's kept us in the division season after season,so for that alone definitely the most important.

Comparisons in different eras are debates with no end goal ever achieved.

Maybe they should be done Before/After 2000

…..Banks was better, no doubt.

BTW, what ever the reasons, that was an excellent piece of chicanery by Pickford. Going down and getting the trainers on, knowing Tuchel had nothing to say to him but letting him speak to the rest of the team.

Can only admire naughty behaviour like that
