This international break is soooooo boring. Anyways I read a comment from a blue that Pickford is better than Allison and Kepa. What's people's opinions on that?

{Ed025's Note - not much between any of them for me rudder..

Apparently Michael Keane is also better than Van Dijk!

Pickford ain't better than Allison, IMO. Allison is the better GK. As for who is better btw Kepa and Allison? I'll have to see more of Kepa cos he seems never really tested, which is credit to the way Chelsea play as in, playing beautiful attacking footie w/ o leaving their defence and GK all that exposed.

{Ed025's Note - i cant work out how you feel that allison is better than pickford brover?, im not saying pickford is great but allison has done nothing to convince me that he is any better mate, been at fault for a few goals you have conceded and some very nervous episodes with his feet as well, red tinted me thinks..peace..

You mean aside from conceding less goals, having more clean sheets than Pickford, and playing at a higher level due to him being in the Champions league of course. Claiming we're being red tinted?

{Ed025's Note - that says more about his team mates than him john, as an individual he has done no better than pickford or kepa...so yes red tinted..

Both very good keepers in my opinion.

I think Pickford is positionally suspect. I really don't rate him at all.

{Ed001's Note - he is the return of Paddy Kenny.}

I'd take Karius over Pickford. The only way I'd have Pickford at LFC is to replace Migs' butt print on our bench to play 2nd fiddle to Alisson.

Ed01, I have been racking my brain for ages trying to think which ‘keeper Pickford reminds me of. You have nailed it - he is definitely the result of a one night stand between Paddy Kenny and a Sunderland barmaid.

{Ed001's Note - agreed, he has to be Kenny's love child.}

I think Ed25 has took a leaf out of Walters book here and is trying to wind people up lol.

Classic Ed01, apparently he is really good with his feet too. well if your benchmark for that is being able to kick the ball really far and to no one in particular!

{Ed001's Note - agreed, his kicking is awful and directionless. He is massively overrated because he is English.}

'He is massively overrated because he is English. '

Ed1, boom, you hit the nail on the head there mate. He's on a different planet to Alisson and that's all there is to be said about it. I've never rated Pickford and going on what I've seen of him I doubt I ever will.

In the summer I was told on the Everton page that Pickford was an £80m keeper lol! I think he's alright for Everton but that's about it, if they want to progress further they need better but £80m I must admit it did make me laugh reading that lol.

Ed025 I do like reading your post and views mate but please come on, Allison is no better than Pickford? We have comcceded just 5 goals in the prem with 7 clean sheets and have been playing the likes of Psg and Napoli in the CL on a higher platform. Allison distribution is better. Pickford always looks busy and aggresive but seems to let shots pasy him were he should save. In what wsy is Pickford better mate please on your opinion?

{Ed025's Note - i never said pickford was better KB i said they are at a similar level, becker has not exactly pulled up any trees imo and the fact that he has let in less goals than jordan is more about liverpools defence rather than him i feel, pickford is very well thought of in goalkeeping circles and is young and on an upward curve mate, he is also his country,s first choice keeper which cannot be said about allison currently but i dont know if that makes him better or not, in the end its all about opinions and i certainly wont be fretting if people dont agree with me..

Ed you put Allison’s form down to his team mates but you don’t rate half of them anyway! So which is it? Or are you going to have to concede that our entire midfield would get in ahead of yours? :)

{Ed025's Note - i do rate your defence swish which is paramount to you not conceding many goals mate, VVD and gomes are excellent and i like robertson as well, TAA is still a bit green but is still very decent, whether you want to admit it or not the midfield is your achllies heel and until the likes of keita gets their act together it will be difficult to sustain a challenge, im not asking you to agree with me, just pointing out facts my friend..

Ed25, What are you on about? Allison is first choice for Brazil ahead of Ederson (who is better than Pickford, IMO) and has been for 3 years now so you can't use that as a way to measure cos Pickford would not be first choice ahead of Ederson for Brazil but Allison would be first choice ahead of Pickford for England as there is a dearth of competition for his place, I feel.

Allison is the better GK, IMO. You think Pickford is similar in quality and that is your opinion as well so there is nothing blue-tinted about that. He has made arguably 2 errors that led to goals but forget to mention the saves he has made that kept us in several games this season.

You also forget to mention that Pickford has been in the PL for 3 seasons while Allison has been in goal at LFC for 5 months so of course, he is still adapting to the PL and mistakes may happen. Pickford as Ed01 said, is overrated and has no one really to challenge him for England. Heaton? Pope? Hart? Don't make me laugh, man. Allison on the other hand, knows he has to be on his game every week cos Ederson is breathing down his neck. As a result, there is NO way they are similar in quality in any way, IMO. Love ya to death, bro but I ain't buying your argument.

{Ed025's Note - i have said before oli that pickford is a bit green but he is young and is very well regarded by his peers, allison is decent enough and definitely an upgrade on the shower of crap you had previously mate and maybe your comparing him to them, imo we both have a decent keeper and there is little between them but like your fellow supporters you find it hard to give an everton player credit and think the sun shines out of every liverpool players arse, i obviously cant change opinions and would never want to...im sure lots of people enjoy living in bubbles..

I think Allison is still adjusting to the prem and has had a few dodgy moments. He is a big influence in that back line along with VVD. His distribution is first class and he is a commanding presence.
Ed025 is correct about our midfield too. There are no goals and limited creativity and attacking threat. I hope Keita can help improve us soon along with Shaqiri.
We cannot go a whole season expecting the front 3 only to get goals, other players need to contribute or we will come up short against Man City.

{Ed025's Note - spot on greenflash..

Ed25, it is not about me thinking the sun shines about every LFC player's arse or don't give any Everton player any credit. On the contrary, I think some of your players are pretty good. I saw BRover post a while back about how good your lot played vs Chelsea and I agreed with his assessment.

I watched the game as well and Pickford, Bernard, Lookman and Mina had a good game and the overall perf. deserved a point by the team as a whole (Walcott is pants, btw) so you accusing me of being in a bubble cos I disagree with you or don't give any of your players credit (which just I did) is quite sad, really cos I never attacked you for giving your opinion.

As for Allison, I am not comparing him to Karius or Migs. He is light years ahead of them clearly so why would I compare him to them? I compared him to Pickford specifically (as that was the topic) and made valid points to support my opinion that they are in NO way similar in quality. Cheers, man.

{Ed025's Note - im not including everyone in that brover, some like yourself are fair and give credit where its due but some just cant say a good word about everton mate and i find that a bit sad, i try to be fair but with just a tinge of bias as is my want but have been complimentary to liverpool on the whole...and they call us bitter?..peace..

Spot on Salah, BRover saw a post by Brover and agreed with it.
