David Seaman

I think he went for the ball

A bit harsh

Better than Schmeichel

Disagree on that one. United’s first great keeper in my life time.
Had some right dross in that position before he came.

I suppose you’re right. I was almost playing Devil’s Advocate, trying to inspire conversation on this one.

In reality, there isn’t much between them. The press, the media, United fans would have you believe there’s a gulf in class.

If someone told me Seaman was better, I’d find it hard to argue against.

Seaman is streets ahead of Lens.

That’s a wild take from Darren Bent.

I can’t recall Pickford making a high profile error for England like Rob Green, Seaman and Scott Carson have, but he is in no discernible way better than Safe Hands

Shame he couldn’t hang on in the squad at Arsenal 1 more season and be part of the invincibles.

Darren Bent a Gooner too, shame on you.

I feel sorry for these D tier pundits whose only gig is talksport where they have to make up stupid takes to maybe get a few calls and watches on Facebook.

All ā€˜keepers have a high profile mistake at some point in their career .
Pickford will have them , that’s for sure .
Did Seamen face better strikers when playing for England?

Oh most definitely, Ash. Those late 90s international sides all used to work off at least one deadly striker.

There’s a dearth of striking talent, comparatively speaking, right now.

When Seaman was at his peak he and Schmeichel were the best GK’s in the PL and two of the best in Europe and he won titles with both Graham and Wenger.

Pickford isn’t even the best GK in Liverpool.
If he was any good he wouldn’t be playing for relegation fodder, he’d be at a CL club.

This isn’t the same logic you were using when describing Richarlison as a top player.

Richarlison scored ten goals and had eight assists in around thirty starts in the PL.
The reason I said that about him was in answer to some who were saying he was no good.

It depends on what the definition of a top player is but stats like that, for a club that was almost relegated, would suggest he is.

As for Pickering, I maintain he isn’t even the best GK in Liverpool.

Not being the best goalkeeper in Liverpool is not a negative when the other goalkeeper is in the top 3-5 in the entire world lol

Yeah, Pickford is shit

I think there’s an argument that Pickford is one of the reasons Everton survived this season tbh.
