So the conclusion of that article is that based on the stats Pickford is the worst England goalie in the PL?

Without reading the article I'd say that's a fair assumption !

You don’t need such detailed statistical analysis to see who has had a poor season. For me, Pickford and Rico, who I think has been frankly awful, would be bottom of the list. I’d have Foster at the top.

Tom Heaton is the real deal.

I don't know what more I can say other than Pope has had the same excellent training and is almost bot-like a replica of Tom.

Testament to both players and the coaching staff... Dyche, Mercer and god knows how many others who help these people realise their potential!

Tom has performed to the peak of his abilty since he replaced Hart, but I doubt that will be enough for him to replace Pickford. The Everton keeper can be a liability at times but Southgate seems to rate him highly, I suppose mainly because of the way he plays it out from the back.

Goodness knows what Nick Pope must be thinking right now, his mind must be in turmoil. For me, he is undoubtedly our number one keeper at Burnley and will need to win his place back sooner rather than later.

The battle for number 1 can wait until next pre-season. Tom is starring, Nick can take until then to get his arm 101% and Joe can slide off to America with a thank you for helping out.

Analysis presented by retards. An inability to even present a graph (which is a picture for people who can't read data) says it all. Probably done by their intellectual heavyweight, Jasper Taylor.

I reckon Pope could end up at Spurs...turmoil is a bit strong!

20m plus Trips? (I'll wake up soon but its a nice thought haha)

[claptrappers_union]

In amazed the media still consider Hart to be in the running.

Summed it up in one.... Southgate rates him because he plays it out from the back

How times have changed Bosscat, that used to be the Centre Halfs job back in the day

[theroyaldyche]

Heaton is currently the best fit for england
Pope is the better keeper for me and will get his chance

Yep, I like my goal keepers to organise, do the basics and be a good last line of defence.

Spraying the odd pin point 50 yard ball is the last of my worries if he makes half a dozen ( being kind ) errors leading to goals a season.

A safe pair of hands is gold dust in knock out tournament football

Heaton doesn’t play out from the back because that what he’s told to do. Doesn’t mean he can’t do it.
