patto Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 I’ve always said Pickford is too small to be a top keeper that’s another reason we should be looking for another keeper but make sure he’s at least 6ft 3in. Liverpool have just bought a keeper and left him on loan I think he’s 6ft 5in they plan way ahead compared to us. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen anything about the sun I’ve always said Pickford is too small yes he has his good games but he is awful on crosses the 6 yard box should be dominated by a keeper and that is where he falls down.

Southall dominated his six yard box you can’t compare Pickford to southall I thought Gordon west was great but he had the same faults Pickford has he hated crosses hence some people gave him the nickname Dracula.

They're exactly the same, so was Southall too small? The difference being Southall dominated his 6 yard box if Pickford done that I’d be happy but yes if Southall was 6.3 he would have been even better the same applies to Pickford. I’ve seen Pickford get just beaten on a number of occasions where if he had an extra few inches he would have saved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if Pickford was a bit bigger he would be a little slower, and not react as quickly as he does, so he may still not get to those ones he just missed.

Cornish Steve Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 This site is unbelievable at times. We have England's #1 goalkeeper by a flying mile and still some complain that he's not good enough. Yes, I've suggested at times that we should sell Pickford, but that's because we need the money and are in a phase of investing in younger players for the future. There's no question that he's top-notch. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patto Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 To sell Pickford you need to have a club wanting to buy him that doesn’t seem to be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this but think he’s had a poor start to the season - having Michael Keane and generally as mish-mash back 4 doesn’t help. Keane needs a keeper who properly commands his area and claims crosses - this is Pickford’s weakness in my opinion. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
