Pickford.

How bad must Everton's back up keeper be? Do they have one?

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Arms are far too small for a goalkeeper

Because I'm the only one slating his performance it's not biased to claim he's been shit tonight. He has.

I'm only interested in why a mag feels the need to frequent the board of their rivals whilst his own team is playing.

Always in your shadow is it?

They’ve went very strong tonight, fair play. It’s a cup they can genuinely win.

 

[SAFC_Jack]

People blaming the defender for passing the ball to him.

I’m not sure he should have tbf, despite the fact Pickford could have handled it better.

It's not unreasonable. It's not a great pass

It was a bad scenario to play it back, looking at the Fleetwood positioning.

 

[sir rowell cummins]

It was a very poor back pass mind but he just should have walloped it

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

Is that a howler? Does the defender who plays it back to him, on the goal line, to his wrong foot take no blame?

The defender is at fault, I’m not sure why Pickford took a touch if he was under pressure. He should’ve cleared it, even on his weaker foot.

He could have got rid of it. It's his mistake.

 

[JL1985]

I doubt Ancelotti will give two shits. He’ll just say next time get rid of it.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Let’s be honest, it’s f***ing terrible goalkeeping.

The defence he gets on here just because he's a local lad is incredible like.

 

[rentaghost]

Dealing with backpasses and his distribution with his feet has been top class over the years so he can be forgiven for the odd error. I also think he gets criticised for every goal that goes past him irrespective of whether he was at fault or not. I had heard he had made a blooper at the weekend and it wasn't his fault at all. Also when he has a great game like first game of the season there is barely a passing comment.

That said the mistakes are mounting up and he hasn't developed into the type of keeper he might have been. If he doesnt improve his consistency quickly he wont be number one there for much longer.

 

[SAFC_Jack]

then add to the fact that the pass was between the posts (so increases the risk), the keeper is on his line AND it's played to his wrong foot so he has to take a touch, Yes, Pickford could have done better, but he's not totally at fault

Your parents are siblings

Exactly - he’s been at fault plenty other times but there are some other factors at play. Daft to say otherwise.

 

[deleted user 785]

Should have cleared it 1st time but the pass didn't do him any favours either. He'd had a decent start to the season before tonight

Disagree - it's lazy analysis to just blame the keeper

There are other things at play, you could say the same about any keeper in the same scenario.

Disagree - it's lazy analysis to just blame the keeper

And you say I'm biased

What's your excuse for him charging around the box like a headless chicken, realising too late he can't get the ball then when an overhead kick tamely hits him straight on and he still can't save it?
