Pickford or Howard?

[Connor]

Always said this. At his best he was decent, at his worst I've never seen anything like him.

Almost getting lobbed inside his own six-yard box.

Never seen anything like it.

Want to find how many times I said he wasn’t outstanding too?

You criticized his performance and discarded someone else posting about the game 4 years on while at the time of the game you yourself said he was outstanding in that same game. Pretty obvious your agenda changed sometime after.

Goals would go in and I'd just be like "wait a minute, how?" That 2012/13 season I genuinely suspected him of match fixing, that season was littered with some of the most bizarre pieces of goalkeeping I've seen in my life.

Both goals, Jesus.

he dived, rather, fell to the floor, once they were celebrating.

I think he might still be falling.

It's genuinely like that robot goalkeeper GIF.

Not at all. My agenda changed at about 6pm on 30th May 2009 when I realised that we’d never win a pot with him in nets. Not that we’ve won anything since anyway.

The fact I said he played well in that game just shows I’m no averse to saying he played well sometimes. When he deserved it. Unlike some who stick to their point no matter what.

In hindsight and looking back that match performance is and was highly over rated. By me. And lots of other people.

We’ll sign a top, top quality keeper one day, fingers crossed like.

Is this a joke??

Howard was never more than bang average.

It actually was! But 35 people seem to be clinically insane. Or American.

 

[Yarrgh]

It's hardly Sagar v Southall this thread.

I do like Pickford though. And for quite a period I was ok with Howard, but he tailed off terribly at the end of his time here though he gave the impression he was doing his best so I can forgive him for this. Give it a few more seasons and Jordan's huge medal haul will swing it.

Pickward

Pickford is young, he would have to play until he was 55 to make the same amount of gaffs Howard made.
Howards 5 or 6 gaffs a season was way to much for man u but acceptable for us at the time, he was the best we could afford.

That second one makes my brain hurt.

Expecting Ba to lob him from there?? Dunno. Mad keeping.
