Shame it won't be a nomination for save of the season as the shot was offside, so doesn't register as a save nor a shot on target.

Brilliant though.

Neville Southall on the standard of goalkeepers today: “The lad at Manchester City is all right, the lad at Liverpool is okay. Ours [Everton] is average… he does okay. He’s average. If I’d have played like that, I’d be out the team for Howard [Kendall].”

We can't all come from an era where keepers could pick up back passes :whistle:


Yes, yes, I know. He was a brilliant keeper.

Love Nev, but he doesn't half talk some shite.

How disappointing for Pickford to hear that as well.

Was surprised the amount of shite he came out with, verging on bitter

I think I get it with Nev. He took umbrage at someone saying a current player was great. I think he’s annoyed at words like that being thrown around too easily when his team earned it. It devalues the true greats if you say others are also great.

I genuinely think Southall is the best player we’ve had, with the possible exception of Dixie.

Having said that, I love you Nev, but please stop!

I think his problem is the standards when he was there where obviously much higher.

Similar to what Todd said. He's comparing this crop too much to the 80's.

Too true. I sometimes think Nev is out of touch with current football.

Nev's talked shite pretty much since the day he retired. He's suggested Dunc for the manager's job more than once.

It's so stupid it's not worth anything. He seems to have pickford as the 3rd best and number 1 and 2 being okay and average. The whole thing is just about his own ego

When you've been the best goalkeeper in the world you can kind of say what you want, he's not going to understand modern goalkeeping it's a very different game but I don't think there's many keepers in the game, if any near the levels Southall reached.

Love him but only damaging his own rep with this stuff.

Okay to have an opinion of course but never going to go down well these comments.
