I am one of the people who posted.
And no, not obsessed,
I posted in a spare moment and with good intentions.
Despite the abuse I received ( which I realise now I should have expected) I thought I would inject an outside view.
Out of a desire to be constructive and ( despite what people allege) a genuine desire to see EFC do well.
Let me give you a comparison.
LFC fans knew years ago Mignolet was not good enough for a team hoping to win the PL. Comments on fan forums then reflected that. Not abuse. Just a simple realisation we would need to step up. We knew he would not command a big fee if we replaced him and when he went we wished him well.
What I saw here was delusion about Pickford. Yes you paid a lot of money for him. That of itself does not make him good enough. And observers from outside know he isn't. After last night perhaps you agree.
And with a GK it affects the players in front of him.
Yes Van Dijk has been a superb addition to LFC . But Alisson has been a big factor in both VVD's success and the growth of TAA Gomez and Robertson. When you have Mina and Keane in front of Pickford it's panic all round.
