Lee Dixon probably wants Pope as England's Number One
For those that haven’t seen…
He also has a bit of magic about him. He makes saves that shouldn't really be possible and we win games and points because of them. Absolutely elite.He's just a fantastic goalkeeper. Maybe the best goalie of all time. He's athletic, wired, and always alert.
A responsible figure too - as we saw the other night when he enveloped Gana Gueye in an embrace after an obviously emotional episode..
He should be the captain of the club.
My lad who never seen Big Nev ( who I rate as the best ) asked me....
If Pickford was our keeper in the 80's instead of Big Nev would we still have been so successful ?
After a few moments thoughts ....
I have to say most definately Yes
Would he have saved Whitesides curler in 85 ?...got me thinking tbh.
is that because he’s wearing number 1? asking for a mateJordan has really matured over the past 2 or 3 years. We're very lucky to have him, and he's first name on the team sheet.
Waddle chipping him in the cup wasn't his best moment either. As much as I loved Nev he made mistakes as he'll readily admit as he was a perfectionist at heartYou can count the amount of mistakes southall made throughout his whole career on one hand …. maybe on one finger as the only one I can remember is when he threw the ball to Matt Le tissier
Probably not.Gets in the Prem team of the season this year
The tide does seem to have massively turned over the last year in terms of how he's spoken about by the media/neutrals, so not as unlikely as it once would have beenProbably not.
Deserves it for sure but likely won't get it.
