massive risk to make him our number 1 in the position we are in. i think Sam will try to flog one of the other keepers and make Pickford his no2 withe the aim of promoting him next season (if he is still around of course).
 
Three dodgy moments:

1. Bad kick first half

2. Parry from Walcott's shot

3. Punch of the free kick second half.

Otherwise he was excellent. The lad looks to have a bright future, hopefully with us.
Difference was he punched it with the intention to do that and get the ball up field instead of a moment of misshap and caught between catching and punching it.

Agreed mate.
I'm not saying he's as good but from what I've seen of Pickford he seems to have a similar style to Lloris. Where he's quickly off his line, has great distribution and likes to punch.
How many people would be criticising Lloris for punching like Pickford did today?
 
Surely we would be better paying Henderson 40k a week rather than Lens?
I can't think of anyone we've signed since we sold him that was a better way of spending our wage budget. It's got to the point now alot of people are sick of these mercenaries coming in who still play crap anyway. At least if it was out own crap we would know they cared.

Watching fletcher, lens and Rodwell this season has been a disgrace. I'd swap them for Henderson, waghorn and leadbitter in a heartbeat.
 
The saves he made were often routine (straight at him) and had a few shaky moments.

He's still very young though and keepers mature later on in their career usually. Will be happy to give him the number 1 jersey next season - this season it's a tough call

1. I think Pantillimon has 15 of these every game.

3. Nowt wrong with the clearance, ended up out the box and away from danger.
 
The lad dos alright in a tough game with some poor defending in front of him for the goals. I don't blame him for any of the goals but he's not as good as I hoped when I think of a you Given. Parried too much when he could gather easy enough first half. Maybe nerves.

Happy enough with him today but he's not a 'great' prospect like most people want to wish for. Me included. He's a decent prospect on the face of that. His performance was average. It was certainly poor first half.
Literally written off after 1 game away to Arsenal. :lol:

A new low for here

Hope not mate. Isn't he a washy mackem?
Yup

Pickford looked decent today but it will be inevitable that the lad gets hammered a few times with our defensive performances. You cnat keep on replaying the Alamo without losing your confidence, both pants and Mannone have been excellent at times but it must be hard to endure constant pressure. Lets see if he survives that.
 
I'm at the game and I want him to be good, but actually he has been very poor. Compare him to Given when he came on loan as a youngster and Pickford is light years behind.

Yes I know that was championship and this is Arsenal but most stuff he's been presented with today should have been simple stuff. Twice, easy saves have beaten him and had to be cut out by defenders behind him.

That and he seems reluctant to hold onto a ball
:lol:

Utter nonsense.
 
Utter nonsense.

Try to read on and after you find this is not a whole game opinion then you can come back and argue against the this being applicable to the first 50 mins.

That said, I would, not, and have not said he had a bad game.

Sadly you, like most others have jumped on a very justifiable post after 50 mins and made is disagreeable after 90 mins.

I expected better.

No. That is an idiots conclusion like yours.

I never wrote him off., yet you stupidly think I do.

It's idiots like you who make people written off after one game. Read on in the posts and try to actually think about what is written and when it is written.

Or else be an idiot.
