Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?
England's No 1, Mr Pickford, made an epic fail last night of Muric proportions, yet for some reason it has hardly had a mention, certainly not on this thread. Yet another reminder that an error does not define a keeper, because all keepers make them. Surely there is a simple explanation. This threa...

Re: Everton v Burnley - Player Ratings
Muric's was the worst error this season when you consider the context. I'd have scored him a 4 but can understand the several ratings of 3 (not sure why one poster is being singled-out). A shame because he'd been doing very well on his return - he still needs to start on Saturday though.
