Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Pickford is dreadful. Strange that he is playing worse than Joe Hart ever did but gets no grief.

I thought Tom Heaton was a shoe in until he got injured again, he’s had a very unlucky career that lad.

Joopsy, I'd agree with you on Heaton - he's been excellent all season (until he broke). Can't see how pickford is ahead of Pope in the England pecking order either.

Pickford has *loads* of critics.

Problem is, once you play 20-odd England games in a run, it seems near-impossible to be dropped, or overtaken by someone playing better. It must be hard trying to develop a defence (or a whole team) with familiarity that we all know makes for better results... but sometimes you just have to admit you backed the wrong horse.

Funny - everyone is presumably referring to Pickfords howler for the Benteke goal.

But no mention of the save he made at 2-1 from Benteke that kept the lead.

He ain't brilliant right now but dreaful ? Nah ! He's had a dip in form and I would gladly see him never play for England again.

I'm just worried Dominic Calvert-Lewin keeps scoring and Southgate was there to watch it !

I think Pickford is up there with the great England keepers like James, Kirkland, Hart, Butland, Green, Robinson, Carson and top of the lot Richard Wright.

You’re forgetting Gary Bailey.
