[Ian Latham]

Pickford is wank

 

[stan bowles]

That's what you get when you have a short-arsed keeper.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

I dropped him from my fantasy.

I’m an idiot.

He can kick the ball a long way though

He can kick the ball a long way though

Usually straight into touch.

 

[Gray]

Goals from corners, what sort of football is that?

:D im happy i didn´t do it

 

[Stelea]

Really really pisses me off seeing other clubs corners and set pieces compared to ours which are pathetic to say the least. And that’s with us employing a new set piece coach

Why did Pickford not give as good as he got from Van der Ven?

 

[waspish]

Teams seem to work on set pieces score set pieces but you have to have a player who has the ability to consistently put the ball where it needs to go!

Match that to their trophies ratio and you’ll soon realise the former is completely irrelevant.

Goals from corners, what sort of football is that?

When half your team is about 5'7", scoring isn't really an option from set pieces.

 

[heslops barnet]

Goals from corners, what sort of football is that?

Great deliveries from corners, can we try that?

 

[stan bowles]

Why did Pickford not give as good as he got from Van der Ven?

Conceding about 5 inches in height and 2 stones in weight.

You may be giving them a few more inches, I’ve got garden gnomes bigger than Silva, Foden, Bobb and Savinho…

 

[Goater=Legend]

Apart from Gvardiol and Ake we don't really have anyone good at attacking the ball so it's not really a surprise

VDV? I have him in mine. Salvaging my week; he has over twice as many points as my front two combined...




My CB pairing has over three times the points of those jokers up front.

 

[The Black Shed]

Am I wrong, or is it an automatic foul if an opposition player touches/impedes the goalkeeper? Sure, Pickford isn't much of a strong & imposing keeper, but Van de Ven shoves him with his arm and that's got to be foul play?

Even our CBs are barely 6 feet tall. Dias is probably 5'11. Gvardiol probably 6'0. Reijnders, Doku, and Nunes aren't going to be winning any headers either. That leaves Haaland, O'Reilly, Gonzalez and Stones (if selected) but none of them are dominant aerially. Been saying it for a year now - we need to get (a lot) bigger and faster as a squad.

Not sure it's automatic. Depends on the severity of the contact, I guess. Both of them at the "Hill Dickinson" were very minimal. Not fouls, in my opinion. But the Everton goal was I think?) ruled out for offside.
