Jordan Pickford

[skullmeister]

Unbelievable what Lee Dixon said about the save in the 1st half, he's an easy target

Lee Dixon seems to have something against him, he's been really hard on him in the past.

 

[englishman abroad]

was that their assessment pre or post match?

He was one of about three to emerge with any credit tonight

Switched off; no desire to watch there anti English rants

 

[MickeyV]

Was a coward,reminded me of Rodwell..hiding and didn't want the ball. Don't get the hype around him one bit.

I spent a fair while watching Rice while the ball was elsewhere and his positional sense is dreadful. He always seems to be ten yards from being useful. He cannot pass the ball forwards to save his life. Not quite what the West Ham University of Creative Football is supposed to produce, shirley?
Anyway, this thread is about Pickford, who improves steadily as time goes on. He is sorting out his issues and gaining confidence in his area so he is easily No.1. His punches are usually 25 yards and his distribution sets up more chances than Rice could dream of.

Anyone got a link to Pickfords pass??
Looked everywhere and cannot find it

If Rice didn’t play for West Ham he’d be nowhere near the first 11. Fashionable to like rice because good old West Ham had a good season. He’s bang average.

same with Gary Neville

 

[Casper]

He seems to up his concentration levels when playing for England, don't think he's ever had a bad game for them.

Interesting fact: Pickford has now played more times for England than he did for Sunderland.

He did back track mind, but yes, seemed very odd that one of his first comments was a negative one. It was a cracking save and he did well to push it away.

 

[forever changes]

If Sterling, Foden, Mount and Kane had done their job as well as him we would have won easily !!

 

[gipetto]

same with Gary Neville

Usually yes, but Neville said after the game something along the lines of that Pickford was the only player on the field that played to the level England needed/deserving of the occasion.

 

[molthemackem]

Our only good player tonight took some stick and still does (even when he makes a good save) but always looks solid as England's number 1.

Kane & Sterling have not had the amount of stick Pickford has had.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Agree RE Kane but Sterling has had more stick through his career than Pickford will ever receive.

That was down to Southgate and his defensive tactics not those players.

yes, i'd agree but not in recent times.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

yes, i'd agree but not in recent times.

Sterling is probably another poor game away from being on the front pages with his personal life in the firing line. Pickford doesn’t really have that to worry about even if he blunders.

I agree to an extent though. Pickford isn’t given the credit he deserves for his performances in an England shirt. He’s barely foot a wrong in England colours.

Aye, Jordan nearly went off the rails but seems to have regained course ,shall we say.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

He played more games for Bradford than us as well. Allardyce was really reluctant to put him in when it was clear that he was ready. Probably cost him another 15 appearances for us. It’s a real shame

 

[BucketBiff]

Both him and Gary Neville have always been big critics of him. He’s a good keeper who generally does well for England.

He was our best midfielder. I noticed he tried to get the ball forward and missed out the boring defenders when he could.
