Never before commented on player ratings, because I find them rather silly, but then there are saves like Jordan Pickford made today to earn us 3 points.
Forget a 10, I give JP a 12....

Bit harsh on Norberto, PG?
He was aggressive, physical, quick, gave that lump Burns a tough time and was alert for his goal.
He’s never going to be better than that but he did affect the game....

We look a different team with Jarrad at centre back, Beto had a great game - muscular and fast, Ndiaye looks better on the left.

With respect, there is some madness in these ratings.
How on earth can Barry who came on at '74 and scored with his arse get the same rating as Jordan who did not make 'one of the saves of the season', he made one of the greatest saves of the last PL decade.
How on earth can JP get the same rating as Branthwaite, Gueye, and KDH, 0.5 more than Tarkowski and Garner, and 0.5 less than Ndiaye was was not back to 'his brilliant best'?
Once in a blue moon we see something so special and world class astonishing on the pitch and we saw that today. Nothing less than 10 for Pickford for that astonishing save alone which will be replayed over and over again ad infinitum.

Totally agree. Never understand why some on here constantly try and find reasons to criticize Pickford. Too short, has ADD, etc just watch the games see what he does and his quality is evident. ...
