DBasia.news – A goal feast is predicted to occur when Everton host Liverpool in the 2020-2021 Premier League at Goodison Park, Saturday (17/10). Apart from the sharpness of the two teams’ front lines, this could potentially happen because the goalkeeper of each team often made blunders.
Everton had a dream start after wiping out the first four games with a win. A total of 12 goals or an average of three goals in each match are scored by Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
Unfortunately Everton’s sharpness in front of the opponent’s goal was not followed by a convincing performance in his defense. The Toffes have conceded five goals.
Jordan Pickford’s figure is in the spotlight of Everton’s fragile defense. He often makes blunders that lead to conceding.
This was clearly seen in the last match when Everton hosted Brighton & Hove Albion. Pickford made a fatal blunder which made the opposing team equalize to 2-2.
Luckily Everton was able to close the match with a 4-2 win. However, this should not happen against a team like Liverpool.
Ironically, Liverpool also experienced a similar problem. The Reds immediately conceded seven goals in a 2-7 defeat of Aston Villa as Alisson Becker missed due to injury.
Adrian San Miguel’s figure who became a substitute goalkeeper appeared less convincing. He even made a blunder that led to Villa’s first goal.
It was not Adrian’s first blunder while guarding the Liverpool goal. He
also had a bad performance when Liverpool were eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last season.
This match, titled the Merseyside Derby, seemed to be the momentum for the two goalkeepers to answer public doubts. They are indeed required to appear almost without any gaps in order to help their team win.
But the pressure of this high-pressure match is not impossible to make Pickford or Adrian nervous so that they make another blunder. It will be interesting to see who will be the heroes and losers in the games later.
