    Needs to see far less of the ball in the next game. Don't understand why they kept passing it back to him like he was an 11th outfield player.

    Just the way they play, trying to draw out the other team (you knew that)

    I love his anger/madness/passion, showing it seems to help calm him, even if he looks crazy

    Yeah, probably best we don't draw the team into a press when we can't deal with a press though.

    It's not a criticism of Pickford, love the lad and last night you'd have been forgiven for thinking he was the captain on the pitch.

    But I sure as **** hope we see a lot less of him in the next game.

    Stones never looked comfortable on the ball and I think it’s probably quite a change from what he’s used to at club level for Guehi. At least when Maguire is playing he’s constantly looking to get the ball into midfield.

    Love the way the team use Pickford.

    I remember my mate telling me about 5 years ago - Watching the lads playing 6-aside. Nobody could get the ball off Cats or Pickford.

    They both have great quick feet.

    Which is why Pickford is trusted a last line of defence, like an outfield player or a sweeper.

    Not many keepers in the World with these skills...

    One of our own!!!!

    He's the only keeper who doesn't seem to be calm during the matches.
    Used to be the little unfancied teams who had flamboyant keepers.

    Hes certainly no shrinking violet is our Jordan, love to see him help England to the final , then go one better. The draw has been so favourable to us, and after last night anything is possible. OaU

    Been absolutely shire so far but it's almost like he draw is on our side!

    I'm not at all confident they can beat anyone but I wouldn't be shocked if they scraped their way all the way to the final and even lifted the trophy with a combined total of about 60 minutes decent football (they've had about 25 minutes so far and that's very generous! <laugh>)
