It wasn't due to Pickford. He had a great 21/22 season immediately after the injury and was vital at us being in the running for all four competitions until the final days of the season. Sometimes players just have poor seasons by their high standards (something we often erase from our minds years down the line when we evaluate them after their playing career is over). He had a midfield with no legs in front of him which definitely also played a big part.
