TK-421 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I think the thing with Pickford with England, he's had the time and settled into the position, whereas Pope is getting the odd game here and there, and obviously will be slightly nervy, and has made errors in recent appearances. Given the time to settle as Pickford was, I think he could be as good/better for England. The impressive thing with Pope for us, becasue the defence has been solid, he often doesn't have much to do in a match, or many shots to face, but when he does, he's on it, and still reactive. Save at Palace as an example, but also the two last night. Edited January 25, 2023 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see when people use this as an argument for preferring Pickford for England makes absolutely zero sense. Let's say Pickford has three or four shocking performances for his club (which happens regularly) then has a great game in England's next game, is he undroppable because of his one good performance? Does that mean Pickford can have an awful season for Everton but still retain his international place because "he's great for England"? It makes a mockery of the selection process if that's the case.

The World cup selection showed its a joke anyway under Southgate, with his favourites and the likes of Maguire getting picked ahead of arguably better performing (well, even just playing for their clubs) players. I know he will pick players who have 'played at that level' and have experience of such matches, but if he continues to ignore players who are performing well at club level, just becasue they've never played for England before (eg BDB), then when will they ever get the chance, especially now we don't have international friendlies anymore.
