And you asked if I was new to this football game!

You do seem to be...
Anyway, please list all those mistakes he makes and if you can find "plenty", as you stated, then I will apologise

Let's face it Barry's winner was a bum shot.

The cheek of it!

You’ve seen Pickford as long as me, so you’ve seen how he fails to command his six yard area in most games, a goalkeeper has to be good with his feet these days so you’ve seen need a football brain to do that, Jordan hasn’t got one, playing out from the back mostly finishes, after six or seven passes, with the ball at Pickford’s feet and he boots the ball down the field to the opposition. His main quality is he’s a very good shot stopper, but you know all this by watching him, so you’ve seen know how poor his temperament is as well, screaming at his own defenders but putting his hand up and smiling when he makes his own mistakes.

His shot stopping ability has maintained our PL status, so there's that.

Yes helped to maintain our status—helped to- he made plenty of mistakes in those seasons too.

Hope you *are* new to football, because you would have HATED Neville Southall.

I started watching Everton when we had a great goalkeeper whose career, like many had been altered by the Second World War, Ted Sagar, he was about the same size as Pickford, possibly smaller but better than Jordan, imo, later on Gordon West became our ,keeper when we had a great team, a goalkeeper who had a few faults, followed by Nigel Martyn who we signed too late but was very good while he was here, later on Southall who was one of the finest goalkeepers I have ever seen and then Pickford who is a very good shot stopper. I’ll leave it there.

Some say it wasnt, we need to get to the bottom of this.

Let's face it Barry's winner was a bum shot.

Remember posters saying that it was the type of goal he needed to score earlier on in the season to get him up and running.

Again, your favourite word... PLENTY. Look mate, NO, simply NO, not PLENTY at all. He has made very few.
Anyway, let's leave this now because, in a nutshell, you just don't like Pickford.

Yeah I agree with this. Great shot stopper but there’s been goals this season where you have gone ‘what the hell is he doing?!’ He ran out against Palace and they scored, he did the same against Leeds I think, I’ve seen him miss punches and not command his box from corners against Spurs. Hes a very good keeper but has loads of flaws.

This an Eric Djemba-Djemba multi?

All keepers make mistakes , the so called better ones too, the ball is like a glorified fly away now , curls, bends , dips loads etc , keepers are basically sweepers aswell, Pickford has his flaws but we've been lucky to have him considering we've been poor for years. I agree with the 6yrd box argument but he's decent with his feet and his shot stopping is up there with the best .
