For the GK shirt in Russia?
His form all season has been a shining light in a terrible year. He has made the odd error, but nothing stupid.
I would have gone for Pope due to the great season he has had, with Butland 3rd choice. I guess the game at Elland Rd will let us know the starting keeper.
Is Pickford the right choice

Pickfords ability with the ball at his feet makes him our number one. Excellent distribution, doesn't panic, and like Ederson he can get incredible distance on the ball also.
England won't win it, so why not bed in what could be our number 1 for the next decade

Why couldn't that be Pope?

He should be second choice after Pope but then Pope hasn't even had a game for England yet. I hope that changes in our next friendly. If he doesn't play then Southgate's an idiot.

Wow. A relevant article in the Everton board.
I don't know what to say so there.

Not quite at Joe Hart's level yet but give him time

I don't think he'll ever go right down to Hart's level, well maybe when he's in his 40's

Pickford’s ball distribution trumps it over the others, gives us another dimension, allows us to circulate round the back.

yeah him and franz cahill to play it around at the back BK

Dunno why Gary Cahill being shįte on the ball has anything to do with me saying having Pickford, a goalie who’s good on the ball, will still help England overall in playing out the back. Pickford started the move off for Lingard’s goal against Italy in March.

It was said in jest.

On a footballing leverl...Yes by a million miles. For us as a club. Probably not with Bayern sniffing round and no doubt united when De Gea leaves them.

Goalkeeper is the most difficult position on the pitch for fans to judge - let's be honest, how many of us have a clue about goalkeeping technique?
My view is that it is a position where we need to look long term and not pick on form as much, as the relationship between centre halves and the keeper are very important.
Pickford seems a reasonable choice for the timebeing, for sure.

Me I study them with great interest. Pickford is a star
