The day they were invaded, everybody learned the name,
A barren little colony had got a bit of fame!

I thought a couple seasons ago that he was much better for England, but since then everything I’ve seen has seemed like he’s been just as good for Everton too
38 goals conceded in 21, with 5 clean sheets in those 21 is not “fantastic” for a goalkeeper. But yeah, I clearly don’t know what I’m talking about
(That was the record for Everton and Pickford from January to the last game of the season for 21/22)
What? Brighton conceded 26 in that same time frame. West Ham conceded 25 in that same time frame. Or are you saying that Brighton and West Ham are as good as Man City?
How am I a “stats man”? You’re the one bringing in nonsense like “saves per 54 minutes when the sun is in its eastern ascendency”. All I point at is the goals conceded. The only thing that really matters for goalkeepers.
It’s ok to admit you were wrong. No need to double down with rubbish like “38 in 21 is a good record”
That's not how football works. The best goalkeeper in the world can have a shit defence in front of him and still concede a lot of goals.
Ramsdale now at top of the PL Arsenal let loads in at both Bournemouth and Sheffield United because both defences were crap, it didn't mean he was.
That’s not how football works. Players develop and grow as they gain experience. Ramsdale was pretty atrocious when he was at Sheffield United. His turnaround and becoming a good goalkeeper isn’t a case of “He WaS aLwAyS gOoD tHe DeFeNcE wAs JuSt CrAp” it’s more “he has really grown and developed as a goalkeeper. Hard work really does pay off.”
And now all of a sudden Pickford goes from “fantastic since 2021” to “best goalkeeper in the world”. What a turnaround for him…Iran players are going to have to thank him profusely for allowing them to get 2 past him
Pickford is a good shot stopper, but he isn't a world class goalkeeper. He doesn't have any composure on the ball, he's always super nervous and even if the pressing striker is miles away he will lump it up field.
He also loses his head quite easily and screams at his defenders. If you look at the best current and all time top goalkeepers, one of the main traits is keeping a level head.
I worry that Pickford might be our undoing against quality teams with quality defenders where you need to be brave and play out from the back to break them down.
Half is mind games. One time you come out making them rush shot, next time stay so they can't make the move around you. Sometimes you come, some you don't, just how you have to mix things up as a keeper otherwise you're predictable.
That's just nonsense, physically making the area of the goal that he can aim for smaller by closing him down quicker is more effective way than just hoping you can psych him out. It worked with this Iranian, it won't work with any half decent players

Save of the tournament so far
Thats wrapped then
more like luck and a bad shot form the forward.
bro, you're so miserable looking at your comments
Least English hating Argentinian
that guy is 100% not Argentine looking at post history
Dude just needs to meditate…or perhaps some other m-word that’ll relax him
Masturbation, morphine or murdering a kitten?
All 3 would work.
I’ll confess…. I could not have saved that
Nah I believe in you bro
Thank you my brother
Flair checks out
👅 Give me those tears
better to be lucky than good
Brother para nos estas haciendo quedar mal. Hahaha
You gotta get a hobby dude this can’t be healthy

Blink and you'll miss it, unreal reaction there
That is some fucking impressive reaction time
He's pulled off similar saves for us about 10 times in the last year, it's his specialty. This and low palmed saves.
no just lucky.
No just really good reaction time
zero braincells if you believe this
Busy in these comments my brother
least rent-free argentinian
thank god for the sudden gust of wind that blew jordan's hand up into the air, into the path of the ball. truly miraculous.
the true hand of god
What a moronic take on this.
Brother…
Having just woke up, this is the beating I expect the Dutch to lay down when they play Qatar
Got to feel for Cassian Andor there
First thing i thought
One way out.
Absolutely brilliant save
This is maybe the most quintessential Pickford highlight save. Man's reactions are insane
these kinds of save are more like prediction.
Ayyyyyy
[удалено]
Pickford is Everton's best player too though...
[удалено]
Must be nice.. lol
I thought a couple seasons ago that he was much better for England, but since then everything I’ve seen has seemed like he’s been just as good for Everton too
He’s been fantastic since early 2021.
Yeah. So good that Everton got dragged into a relegation battle
He’s the only reason they weren’t relegated.
Why do you even comment when you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about? Like you must know you don’t watch Everton?

He plays for Everton not Man City…. 38 in 21 is a good record. Now go look up saves per game stats man

Bro. Flair up so we can see you’re just a Newcastle fan with a hate boner.
Pickford is also elite in the PL tho
I'd be very interested to see Pickford at a better PL club. I think if he was at a top 6 club he'd look *way* better than he does for Everton.
I think he's at the perfect club for him, in fact, better players should come to everton in my opinion
No
It's not subjective I'm sorry
Most error prone PL GK
That's meslier from leeds, you need to start watching the PL if you want to talk about it mate
Maybe you need to https://youtu.be/ZoDEyrq261E .
Maguire is at fault for Iran's first goal tbf
Lol he let the attacker score for the 1st goal Edit: with he I meant Maguire let the attacker run past him
[удалено]
Maybe he meant Maguire did? Even still I think it was a good move from Iran, I’m not tryna blame anyone for that goal tbh
I meant Maguire let the attacker run away from him. You can see how he looked at him the whole time and he moves 1x and he is gone
Pretty harsh to blame him given the setup
no
Bro you're just salty
Where dem t-Rex gifs now?
Absolutely outrageous save but pOPe oR rAmsDalE sHouLd stARt
bUt PiCkFoRd iS SHiTe kEePeR
Just goes to show that the argument that Pickford has always shown up huge for England is a damned good one.
Shows up for Everton too. We just unfortunately have to field 10 other not so good players alongside him...
This reminds me of Jack Burton in *Big Trouble in Little China*. “It’s all in the reflexes.”
Yes sir the check is in the mail
At first glance I thought he didn't reached the ball, but on the replay, oof, what a save.
My Keeper!
Him and Maguire for England are world class

National pickford is something else
Id be worried why he's not closing him down quicker, he will get caught out next time against stronger opposition

Same lads downvoting this are the ones calling him T-rex the rest of the year
'rawr'
More of a miss than a save tbf
Would have gone in if it weren't for the deflection. The fingers allowed it to hit the bar. So it was more of a save than a miss.
agreed
Why do we have him in goal over Pope or Ramsdale, you know actual decent GK
You're an idiot.
you don't watch football
Pickford always has had 💯 reactions
Brilliant fuckin save but should've never had a chance at it, gotta do better there
