Jordan Pickford, the goalkeeper for Everton and England, is often not given the recognition he deserves for his performances for his country, according to The Mirror’s chief football writer John Cross. With 65 senior caps for England, Pickford recently surpassed Peter Shilton as England’s most-capped goalkeeper in major tournaments and holds the record for most clean sheets in tournaments with 11.
Cross believes that Pickford should be considered among the great England goalkeepers, especially given his performances in major tournaments. He commended Gareth Southgate for championing Pickford as the number one goalkeeper for England and highlighted Pickford’s reliability and exceptional reflexes. Cross also praised Pickford’s skills with the ball, particularly his impressive long-range kicking.
Despite facing challenges at club level with Everton, Pickford has consistently shown a strong mentality and performance for the England national team. Cross believes that Pickford’s confidence and reliability make him an important player for England, regardless of his club form. Overall, Cross expressed his admiration for Pickford and believes that he deserves more appreciation for his contributions to the national team.
