  • John I remember screaming out for that tactic years ago. Moyes would have Pienaar, all five foot six of him back defending corners. Had he been left on the half way line two of the opposition defenders would have had to be there with him....
    Alan McGuffog in Is Jordan Pickford the best goalkeeper in the Premier League?
  • Raymond, I agree on Jordan and crosses,hes not the biggest physically. coming through a crowd of blockers. I like the Villa tactic when facing corners against them. They leave 3 men on the halfway line,meaning the opposition have to leave 3,sometimes 4,on the half way line. Clears the box of 6, 7 players....

  • Paul, rumour is Fulham want to cash in on him, before he goes for free in the summer,which would be good for both parties ...
    Mike Powell in How do Everton cope without Jack Grealish?
  • Paul when big clubs are interested in a player they tend to make their interest known. That's been the way of it historically. Are you saying that this interest is only revealed after they've had the nod from the player, well that's certainly not the way Everton do business. We can be outside a player's balcony for months, only to find the last place he wants to come is here. So I think it's fair to say from the facts available that none of the big boys have been interested. And long may it continue, but it's still a mystery....
    Kevin Molloy in Is Jordan Pickford the best goalkeeper in the Premier League?
  • I know let's play someone who speeds the play up on the left ! They won't keep the ball, find a pass, take the pressure off the defence, get any assits, but they might run a bit faster than grealish!! Some people don't know a good thing when they have one (had one). We may have seen the last of him in a blue shirt, unless the fee and wages drop dramatically, even then he has had quite a few injuries, are they going to come more often ? ...
    David West in How do Everton cope without Jack Grealish?
  • Pickford is up there with the best keepers in the league at present, he has kept us in the Prem. for at least a couple of seasons. He does seem to struggle on crosses when the penalty area is crowded though, nowadays its a tactic for attackers to block opposing goalkeepers so there are excuses. As far as his long kicking is concered he will have been told to do it, its working for us at present so why change it. There are plenty good goalkeepers in the league now, probably the most that I can remember, I have always liked Sanchez and Raya from the time they were playing for Brighton and Brentford. They might not be the very best but they are right up there. ...
