@Roy have you been to bed yet? Any signs of that psycho?


I keep thinking ill just stay up, but fall asleep eventually.

None of my traps were encountered..im going to keep everything set up for a good while before I relax things...
 
If he's a donk then why is he playing for England. Are we that hard up for keepers?

well the options are Pope or Henderson. Henderson is the closest to pushing Pickford out as No.1

Pope isn’t as his passing/distribution is ****e.

That’s bullshit. Pickfords distribution is really good.
I'm seeing a player who gets flustered when pressed and with a preference to go long and hard. Distribution these days is all about decision making and having the ability to go short and medium length with the necessary finesse as required. It's when the ball is in play that his distribution significantly falls away in my opinion.

If you're happy with Pickford fair enough, but as far as England is concerned I feel his level had dropped significantly and to the point where others should be given their chance. Let's be honest most of the qualifers we'll play will be against inferior opposition so the chances of making mistakes are lowered until we reach the tournament itself. At the moment Southgate has all his eggs in the Pickford basket, that's not a healthy situation and he should have addressed it in the 6 internationals we've played since the start of the season. Definitely an opportunity missed.
