Burnsie Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Good shot stopper (unless he had time to think about it). Awful at everything else. How he's ahead of Pope et al I'll never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Sunderland fan I know raved about his distribution. Which seems to be overvalued in a keeper nowadays.

Night King Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 He’s just not a very good goalkeeper. Henderson should be given the Wales game and Pope the 2 nations league games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannofan Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Jonny Liew in the Guardian suggests that the high scoring games are due in large to poor performances by defences and goalkeepers. He reckons these positions require much more concentration than the others, and that mental fatigue after a long season and a short break, and a lack of intensity and danger due to absent crowds have combined to result in multiple errors and indiscipline in defensive units. He gives Maguire at Man Utd as an example - we know what happened to him in his short break - ..Man Utd conceded 8 goals in 19 games in the second half of last season..this season Maguire is bloody awful - the same lumbering, talentless wardrobe that earned him the nickname 'Herman ' when he was at Sheff Utd. However, Pickford was rubbish all of last season, so he just maybe plain old bang average in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which seems to be overvalued in a keeper nowadays. Call me old school but my priority for a keeper is preventing the opposition sxoriy You say that, but actually in a game, how many times is a keeper needed to make a save or stop a goal scoring opportunity? maybe 10? But how many times does he restart a possession? It could be 50+! Now granted if your defence is awful you probably need a better stopper than distributer, but to overlook it is naive. Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
