John Cross, The Mirror’s chief football writer, believes that Jordan Pickford should be given more recognition for his performances for England. With 65 senior caps and the record for most clean sheets in tournaments with 11, Pickford has been a crucial player for the national team.
Cross praised Pickford’s reliability and exceptional reflexes, as well as his impressive long-range kicking skills. Despite facing challenges at club level with Everton, Cross commended Gareth Southgate for championing Pickford as the number one goalkeeper for England.
According to Cross, Pickford’s confidence and reliability make him an important player for England, regardless of his club form. He believes that Pickford should be considered among the great England goalkeepers and deserves more appreciation for his contributions to the national team.
