Maybe he's turned the corner now. We need to make sure he doesn't get balls hoofed up to him.

That sequence of fast passing was joyous

We need to buy him a helmet.

Mad how many of those clips start with a bomb from Pickford

Thank you brother!

Hey - he’s not bad, is he? Couldn’t fault him for any of that. Anything that didn’t come off exactly right was due to massive pressure from at least one defender - and even under pressure he got a lot of right - keeping possession, putting it into good areas.

I love his goal celebration and I hope we see a lot more of it!

I think the most impressive thing about that video is that if you put it side by side with his performances at the start of the season it'd be hard to believe it was he same player.

It's a weird one, but it's almost like young players from abroad need time to adapt to new leagues before they are dismissed as ''crap''.

Not sure I'd agree with that tbh. I think more that it looks like that same player has developed and settled and improved. Not that it was guaranteed to happen of course, but the signs were there.

He needs to maintain Monday's level now though, that's the important part.

It’s his intelligence that’s shining through for me
