Topic: The Jordan Pickford thread

[Frizzo]

I think Mignolet is twice keeper pickford is. To think how much scrutinty he got compared to this fraud.

I don't even think it's close to be honest.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

As long as Southgate doesn't drop him, they'll continue to play him no matter what.

[elsewhere]

Could have been 2-10 if they had an average keeper

[Statto Red]

I've said it before, such a comical keeper, never seen a keeper with such lack of awareness as to where his goal is, & his Hollywood dives when he's nowhere near to saving the ball, so sweet after him calling out Alisson for errors[which we still end up winning the match] Pickford promptly makes hilarious blunders that cost them the match.

[Red Beret]

It's like having a toddler in goal. One whose parents refused the choccy biscuits in aisle 3

Maybe they should make the ball look like a giant malteaser,

[PhilV]

Comical to see some blues blame first goal on Zouma.

Zouma was fully in control, in front of the attacker and ready to clear into the stands or head back to kepper... but ol' T-Rex comes rushing out like a lunatic and fucks it all up.


He is awful and so out of his depth - one of the most overrated keepers I have seen in recent times, anything either side of him but still within a foot or two he will dive for instead of putting out a low arms or a leg out... by the time he dives ball flies in under him, watch him, it's a given!

[Red Beret]

it's like he only knows how to dive for balls, as if he watched some very basic training video or read a book on how to be a goalkeeper.  Doesn't seem to realise there is more than one way to save the ball, and that that is actually the purpose of being a goalkeeper!

When I rewatch the derby clip, I honestly wonder if he'd just left the ball alone would it have just landed on top of the net and stayed there, or would it have bounced down off the crossbar and into his hands?  I'd almost feel sorry for him right now - if he hadn't been such an arrogant arsehole earlier in the season.

[Elzar]

He's alright, but his downfall seems to be that he thinks he is actually in the world top standards already. Constantly trying passes that aren't on, coming for balls he shouldn't and trying to play in a way he clearly isn't ready to.

[sinnermichael]

Apparently Jordan Pickford hasn't got any Christmas cards as he has no idea where his post is.

[Andy-oh-six]

I’ve seen three Everton games this season (including yesterday’s and ours obviously) and he’s been responsible for at least five goals they’ve conceded. That’s incredible.

The most incredible thing is that he seems have a Hodgson Media Pass as it never gets picked up. I guess that reflects that no one in the media gives a shit about a small, lower mid-table Premier League team and that he’s England’s number one and people can’t see him for what he is.

[El Lobo]

He’s atrocious

He was basically what Mignolet was at Sunderland, making a load of ace saves because he was facing so many. With the added bonus of being English, he’s suddenly been hyped up to the sky. And now he’s needing to do a bit less, but better. And he can’t. Plus Mignolet then went to a team with at least a half decent defence whereas Pickford plays for Everton. And Mignolet seems quite down to earth whereas Pickford seems to have a bit of lad culture confidence from somewhere, much like Joe Hart.

[Dr. Beaker]

I love the way he unsaved that second goal - it was about to strike his left foot but he just managed to get it out the way in time, so he could do one of his dives.

[Lycan]

"But, but, but, he's a good shot-stopper..."

I should bloody well hope so as well, he's a professional goalkeeper ffs.

[Chavasse1917]

He is the Phil Jones of the goalkeeping profession......somehow he has got into the England team but regularly has a howler and his face afterwards is usually priceless!

The Pickford thread on GOT

They've turned on the dopey fucker big time!!

https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/jordan-pickford.104328/page-403

Compare page 3 of the thread to page 410.

The change in opinion of him is hysterical. From "world's best and let's not sell him to Real for £75m", to "let him rot on the bench, no one will buy him, why did we give him a new contract?"

He's been living off that penalty save at the World Cup. I think only now are the general football public waking up to the reality he's really pretty shit.

It deffo wouldn't have come back into play, it either hits the bar and bounces into the Kop, or just lands on the net.

[mikeb58]

Part 3....

He makes silly dives, he pulls funny faces.
He can barely reach down to tie up his laces.
He lets in 6 goals likes he's playing for fun.
One massive fuck up and the derby we won!

To me he looks like an arrogant, spoilt brat.
He's England Number 1, I'm not having that.
It doesn't say much for our number 2 or 3.
A T.Rex armed keeper, now how can that be?

Tottenham the latest team to take the piss.
8 goal attempts , 6, Jordan managed to miss!
He blamed other players, he mumbled shite.
As the shots reigned past him left and right.

Embarrassed bitters came away from the pit.
Now will they admit Jordan Pickford is shit?
An overrated, overpriced keeper he is for sure.
With T.Rex arms he makes it so easy to score!

Make no mistake, the ball was going over.

However it's not just that. His technique for a ball like that is awful. You need to jump up, get ONE hand above the crossbar and punch/palm it over. It's actually probably more difficult to keep the ball in play than to see it out.

[Crosby Nick]

On MOTD last night when they were showing the stats, Spurs zag was only 1.88. That suggests their finishing was incredible (Erikson’s was a great strike to be fair) or Pickford was Pickfording.

[Djimi Smicer34]

Still can't believe he got away with that "tackle" on Alli after the whistle had already been blown for offside.

It's one thing being a grossly over-rated goalkeeper, it's another trying to assault an opponent when you're annoyed at being shown up as that.

Definitely should have been booked. Was reckless and stupid

[Yosser0_0]

That gif had me pissing my sides, crying with laughter here.

I hope they don't drop him, it would be unfair as he's one of the great entertainers in the Premier league!

Surely there would be no coming back from being dropped for Stekelenberg.

They can't afford to drop him, unless they've got a really good GK in their academy squads.  If they had any sense they'd go out and get someone like Heaton (God knows how he is behind Joe Hart at Burnley) for the short-term in January and look to get someone with actual talent in in the summer.  They won't because Pickford is one of England's golden boys post-World Cup.

He's incredibly fortunate that Everton's business in the transfer market has been so haphazard and they haven't signed decent cover/competition.

The Pickford thread on GOT

They've turned on the dopey fucker big time!!

https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/jordan-pickford.104328/page-403

One of their posters mentioned the late tackle on Alli - be getting a ban for that!

Someone on here said that Pickford made a similar tackle whilst playing for England, if he keeps doing it eventually he'll get done for it by a referee. Watch this space.

Sat here with SSN on, the ads are on and I hear Tylers voice "The daftest Derby goal of all time"

[FiSh77]

Genuinely read that and thought you were joking with the page numbers, how has it got to over 400 already

take you don't go on GOT?

over 3300 pages on their invisible stadium
647 pages on a fella who was a shareholder at Arsenal then sold his shares
2500 pages on Moshiri

they're fucking nuts, 400 pages is nothing to them

Definitely, don't see any way to blame this on Zouma, he had everything under control until he got tackled, in my opinion.

[rafathegaffa83]

[Yosser0_0]

It's the way his head falls forward after diving over the first shot - Pickford all over. 

[12C]

Had a quick scoot through that GOT thread.
Everything from “he’s shite” to him “being on the lemo with Mina”

There is a large element that think he was good but the Derby mistake has shattered his confidence.

There are those like Davek, who have always had him down as a fraud.

The best shouts are for Southall to come in and coach him...
They haven’t seen big Nev recently have they?

One actually compared him to David Lawson.( Nicknamed Dracula due to his fear of crosses)

Now that is an insult

[jooneyisdagod]

Forget his fuck ups as they're funny but just seen that tackle on Dele Alli. He's a proper fucking c*nt isn't he?

Owen will turn up to training and meg Pickford.

Well done, he’s only 24.

Meh, Ian Rush could meg Pickford.  Hell, Lawro probably could.

[DelTrotter]

Yep, he’s an arrogant little bellend. The dig at Alisson who’s 20 times the keeper, that yesterday, shouting at his defenders any time he makes a mistake, trying to pass off his Anfield clanger as some sort of curse, he’s a prick. No wonder he shows no signs of improvement.
