Jordan Pickford

[Bob Sacamano]

Whenever he doesn’t play England ship a million goals.

7 full caps, 2 clean sheets, 8 goals conceded for Henderson. Imagine if Pickford had that record

[MayorFarnham]

There's no doubt that Pickford is by far England's best 'keeper. But you have to admit it's hardly a vintage crop.

Those player ratings are funny. What is the scale when Jordan Henderson gets a 4 and Pickford a 6? Henderson played about 10 mins, got booked while on the sidelines and broke his wrist.

Quansah got a 6 for getting sent off and being generally poor. Chalobah got 5 for coming on for 5 mins and getting rinsed by Upamecano for the 4th French goal.

Different criteria for different positions and overall play

Where's his golden gloves then!? That would shut up the doubters.

The prize should be something more reflective of a goalkeeper's individual performance than simply clean sheets.

Any team that has the ball a much as Spain will always have a keeper that hardly ever concedes.

This is one change to football I'd like to see.

By the way - thought his throw out for the goal against Preston was great.

We don’t talk about his distribution anymore.

I had to go back pages to find this thread. Are we taking him for granted?

We probably are taking him for granted, it's so nice to have one area of the pitch that we don't have to worry about - no desire to sign replacements, no question marks over who starts etc

Well, one page.

Probably the fact it's dropped off the front page shows that it's one area we don't need to worry about too much.

It was a great throw the other night but I've always thought his distribution was a bit of a myth, he has the odd belter but there's also plenty times the ball sails out of play for a throw in.

[AjaxAndy]

I think Pickford gets loads of praise in the match day thread so wouldn't say we take him for granted, more that people post so much in those that this thread becomes a bit redundant.

[Kerryblueboy]

That throw was absolutely quality right on the money

[Goaljira]

And he didn't play pre-season, wasn't linked with a move away, and hasn't been injured, so there wasn't really anything to discuss?

[Bumble]

Massively underutilised and underrated a good quick throw from a goalkeeper.

[Cods]

Good vision, and almost a pre pre assist. His awareness was so good that he needs to be credited with creating a goal...assists recorded simply for the penultimate touch are often too easily given for no skill or vision.
