Any stats you look at show they've both definitely been part of the problem. Among others of course.
Is Pickford, England keeper, with only 12 goals less conceded seen as part of the problem there ? Could also go down yet.
Not a sly dig, genuine enquiry.
Pickford's probably the main reason Everton aren't already relegated in fairness to him. He's had a really strong season. Not without a few mistakes, but he's won them points as well with some important saves.
Going off the same link as before and he's conceded 2.7 goals less than expected - sixth in the league by that metric.Quote:

Southampton have been shopping at Man City again. 19-year-old goalkeeper Josh McNamara has joined the Saints on a two-year deal and will link up with their Under-21s squad, "initially". He "was identified by Southampton's new Director of Football, Jason Wilcox, formerly of the City Academy".

Lot of goalkeepers leaving City at the moment, James Trafford is going to Burnley soon, and Zack Steffen could move this summer.
New Leicester manager is a City coach too so expect them to bring in a couple from City too.
Southampton keeper Willy Caballero leaves to become Asst Manager at Leicester. He had a Kelleheresque experience at Chelsea: 38 appearances, including 11 Premier League starts, in 4 years.

Bazunu to remain first choice keeper for Southampton as Joe Lumley set to sign for the Saints.

Starts today along with Manning and Smallbone
Poor from Smallbone at the corner which leads to the equaliser and had been playing well from the bits I've seen tonight.
Only a bit part in a comfortable victory, despite the late winner. Bazunu didn't have much to do other than pick the ball out of the net and Manning had a few decent runs.Quote:

Smallbone also won the MoM award from Friday on the Southampton forum. Think he'll have a good season.Quote:
