Shukes Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Don’t want to put the blame on anyone. All I can say is that far away from goal, the defender should be dictating play. There wasn’t any real danger if it had been left to the defender. The goalkeeper did call, but the defender is already too close, he couldn’t react in that time.

StevO Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 I think if Pickford stays back Zouma can head that ball to him quite comfortably. Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts as well. There's no need for Pickford to come that far out of his area when a defender is so close like that. Yes, when a keeper calls for it then the keeper should have authority, but that doesn't mean calling for it was the right decision in the first place.

Btay Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Is what it is I guess. He made a big save on 35 minutes today after having no involvement what so ever. His qualities are there to be seen, just a few little bits before he is in the top rank of keepers in my opinion.

markjazzbassist Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 They drew at home 1-1 to Arsenal. That's a great result for them, they will be up for it. I'm feeling more confident after our big win, I honestly think they will be playing for a draw against us as well, even though they are in a decent position now, for a club of their size 40 points is the goal until they are regulars in the PL.

Gwlad Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Assume this was for the Brighton match day thread. I agree they'll be full of confidence on Saturday after today. Mind you, so should we. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneyneil Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Great result today. As for the previous Pickford comments, keepers are there to make saves. It doesn’t negate the errors they make. Let’s hope that’s the last of them for the season but I have a feeling it won’t be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneyneil Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Michael keanes fault for the goal today. I thought it was a poor attempt by Pickford to keep it out though. Seems to just get away with criticism for some reason...more mistakes all round today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful attempt - was almost like he let it in. Obviously he didn't but vardy never caught it clean and it was going in the only place he could aim for.

Bill Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 The points he has saved us this season are quickly diminishing with every match. He's going through a very bad spell, but he's not the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If goalkeeping was as easy as some make out there wouldn't be so few quality keepers around, of which Jordan is one. Even his 1 mistake in the Leicester game was palming the ball onto the byline. We have far bigger problems than having one of the best keepers in the league between the sticks. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbanyNYToffee Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I'm a Jordan fan. That being said if someone wants to come in with 50 million plus for him I'd take that and buy Dubravka from Newcastle. He's class and Ashley is always desperate for money. Use the surplus to buy a great RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Cleared out" by his centre backs? Maybe that's part of the problem.... he's not big enough. Nice shot stopper but how often does he push it out back into the mix? I'm just becoming more and more unconvinced. The defenders don't seem to know what he's likely to do. He ran in to zouma and blamed him vs spurs... zoumas ball all day. He bollocked Kenny for vardys goal. He needs to just sort himself out. The talk of going to the mancs will die down. I'm worried he's on a downturn we've seen many a time with young keepers.

It was a great ball in, Mina bulldozed Zouma and Pickford would’ve been next if he’d come for it. Very few keepers wouldn’t have been flattened by Mina Im not his biggest fan either but I didn’t see him at fault for the Spurs goal and I didn’t see him at fault yesterday.

He's highly erratic... a keeper does not stay on his line with a ball like that... it's text book. A ball in 6 yard box is keepers. The defenders acting like they are is symptomatic of a keeper with bad decisions. The defenders themselves? That's another conversation. Spurs goal - zouma had goalside and the pace on son... simple header back. Easy. Pickford just ran out.... it seems most games he's making fundamentally poor decisions. I'm not convinced... seems very similar to mignolet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Pickford.... no way should a ball fly that close to the 6 yard box with the keeper staying rooted. The centre halves are inconsequential if he does his job. The ball was close enough to mina to warrant him trying to get a glancing header.
