Everton’s goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, is under fire from fans following a “truly awful” performance in their 3-1 loss to Manchester City on Wednesday evening. Despite making crucial saves, Pickford’s errors, including a misplaced pass leading to a late goal, have drawn heavy criticism.
In a disappointing night at Goodison Park, Leeds loanee Jack Harrison opened the scoring for Man City, but Everton’s 29-year-old goalkeeper Pickford struggled to keep his side in the game. The second half saw Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez, and Bernardo Silva stage a comeback, securing victory for the reigning Premier League champions.
Pickford’s performance came under scrutiny, particularly for his role in Silva’s last-minute goal. A misplaced pass from the England number one allowed Silva to capitalize with a cool finish into an empty net. Additionally, Pickford’s weak punch from an incoming corner contributed to a sequence of events leading to a penalty after Amadou Onana’s handball.
Despite some notable saves, including a double save in the early stages, Pickford’s lack of accountability and apparent criticism of teammates during conceded goals have further fueled fan discontent. The defeat to Man City marks Everton’s second consecutive loss, ending their run of four straight Premier League wins and leaving them in 17th place, just ahead of Luton Town in the table.
While Pickford’s shot-stopping abilities were evident, the lapses in judgment and errors have overshadowed his positive contributions, prompting fans to voice their frustration. As Everton looks to bounce back from this setback, Pickford’s performance will undoubtedly be a point of discussion and evaluation in the aftermath of their recent defeats.
