Fans believe that Jordan Pickford's Cheatheet of the water bottle has abandoned him on Monday evening.
Everton was on track to get a draw at newly promoted Leeds until James Tarkowski's controversial handball in the 82nd minute.
That call went to VAR and was strongly disputed by the players of Everton, but in the end the decision of Chris Kavanagh and Pickford stood by the music.
The goalkeeper of Toffees launched his classical ritual of checking his water bottle, where he writes the criminal routines of the customers he will probably face.
Pickford was confronted with replacement Lukas Nmecha and although he eventually dived in the right way, he was unable to save the low effort of the German.
But fans think that the English custodian was left to guess, and perhaps he might be missing in his dive – because they don't think the name of Nmecha would have been on the bottle.
“No chance that Pickford Nmecha wrote in his bottle,” said a viewer on X.
“Pickford looked at his bottle and it seemed that he had no notes for Nmecha Lmao,” said another.
“I love the point at which Pickford looks in his bottle in front of the penalty, but Nmecha was not in fun there,” they also noticed.
“Nmecha calls Pickford looking at the water bottle a bluff, he knows,” wrote another.
“The Pickford bottle didn't help him, lol,” someone said.
Some thought that the keeper might have mentioned Nmecha, with one broadcaster who wrote: “Even the magic water bottle of Jordan Pickford couldn't save the day.”
In the end Pickford dives in the right way, so in the end he made a decent stab in saving the spot kick, whether the routine of Nmecha was written on his bottle.
Until Monday evening the most recent penalty from Nmecha was in 2021 and he was on the couch as a newcomer in Leeds, so the chance is that he was not on the Pickford list.
Nmecha himself accused Pickford of Mind Games after the game and said: 'I think that was a bit of a bluff to be honest. I don't think I was one of the names there. '
According to Transfermarkt, Pickford saved a total of 10 of 66 penalties with which he has had to deal with Club and Land throughout his career.
His study from where Takers are typical of, in the past proved valuable, as when he saved the Spot kick of Manuel Akanji in the shoot-out between England and Switzerland in the quarterfinals of the Euro 2024.
And we have also seen the Cheat Sheet results in the Premier League.
He denied the last campaign of Erling Haaland and one camera corner showed that he had calculated the chance that Haaland will shoot right, left or in the middle.
