That was largely in jest. Pope is an excellent keeper and pulled off a couple of quality saves against palace. I do think Pickford gets a weird amount of criticism though, especially given that his numerous unbelievable saves kept us in the league.
I think part of it is he just looks more panicked and more frantic. Partly down to his personality, partly down to being a (relative) shortarse compared to keepers like Pope who doesn't have to hurl himself around as much.
Pope had a lot of games like that last season. We wouldn't have made it to the final day with something to play for without him.
