Popular Post MikeO Posted February 5, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Wow! “I spent three years at Man United and then 10 glorious years at Everton Football Club,” Howard says. “Outside of my two children, Everton Football Club is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. Being able to play 400 times for that club, becoming an Evertonian myself, loving the fans and having them love me, feeling like that’s home… there’s nothing like it in the world. “Playing at the Gwladys Street End [at Everton’s home, Goodison Park] with all those Blues behind you, just willing you on, having this togetherness,” he continues, “yeah, I’m on the field playing, but they’re there. It’s just one family, one team, it’s really special. Like I’ve said, I played for Manchester United, which is the biggest football club in the world, and I’ve played for Everton, which is the greatest football club in the world.” StevO, pete0, Sibdane and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought he was an excellent professional and we were lucky to have him. Still the best keeper I’ve seen play for us in my era.

MikeO Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 From memory he was rarely our number one choice but a solid back-up. Gordon West, Andy Rankin and David Lawson mostly kept him out over the years then he was sold when we brought in George Wood. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52065738 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Jordan Pickford is not such a cause for concern as he was a couple of months ago; he made a couple of typically quick, smothering stops to keep a clean sheet on Monday. But he also flapped at virtually every corner that came into the box; he just doesn’t breed the confidence required of a top-class goalkeeper. Alisson, Ederson, Thibaut Courtois and Kasper Schmeichel as the last four title-winning goalkeepers illustrate the need for an upgrade perfectly. Wouldn't swap Pickford for any of them.

Bailey Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I thought he dealt with the crosses well on the whole. One he didn't get as much on as he may have liked but he did end up getting clattered as he was doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thought he played really well with not a lot to do against Southampton, but when required did the business. In his last two game’s I can’t recall any wtf moments so all good since his return from injury. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Shukes Posted March 3, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Best thing was that he was mostly redundant against Southampton, but was ready the second he was needed. Normally a quiet keeper isn’t up to speed for those, Pickford was ready and saved us two points. Palfy, StevO, Bailey and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Today's results worked out very well for us: Leicester dropped two points, Man United dropped two points, and Villa dropped three. United face City this weekend and could drop three more. If Leicester lose one more game and we win our games in hand, we would be in second place. And this begs the controversial question, with the FA Cup quarter finals coming up. If (and it's a big if) we had to put all our focus and efforts into one and not the other, which would you prefer? To win the FA Cup and finish seventh in the league, or lose the FA Cup quarter final but finish second in the league? (You can argue for both the cup and second place, but, in my opinion, we don't have the squad depth to do that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
