2024/25 Jordan Pickford

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

….not surprised, Henderson starts for England v Senegal.

I get the impression Tuchel wants him as his no1.

Yeah I think this is the soft launch of Pickford gradually getting eased out

You’ll only play for England under this manager if you play for a “big” club or are a media darling

Their loss

He's never been the sharpest but this is impressively dumb even for him

'Not for me' - Tuchel told to axe 76-cap England star from World Cup squad

There was no room for Jordan Pickford in Alan Pardew’s England starting XI at the 2026 World Cup. The Everton goalkeeper has been the Three Lions’ undisputed no.1 since making his debut in 2017, an…

And that’s why he had a successful career as manager….oh, er, hang on….

Why is he asking for trouble. Nobody is unpickable. Jeez. No right to play and rotating him to try another GK is good management.

He's already planted the seeds that Pickford won't be automatic, others jumping on the bandwagon. Absolutely he's rotating to try another keeper. Obvious.

Tuchel is asking for trouble not selecting Pickford. But that's on him. I'm happy for Pickford to have a break and not to face Ndiaye

Tuchel will be fine

The media have wanted Pickford out for yesrs

Tuchel is giving them what they want

That’ll earn him bonus points

Not really. The biggest threat to his first team place is a player who plays for Crystal Palace and the other Gk plays for Southampton. Not exactly big clubs or media darlings.

I know I'm childish but I'm a bit offended by Pickford's omission.

So what ? Why so precious ? Nobody is a shoe in, well unless you're Harry Kane. Look, as much as i like JP, I couldn't care less if he plays for England or not. It would be extremely harsh on him if dropped based on the fact I don't think he's really let England down, buts that's football.

I couldn't care less either. But there's a clear campaign against Pickford and as someone else said Tuchel is just giving them what they want. I'm sure Pickford will be back for the next game. However It's more fuel for the Pickford out brigade.

So tedious and you can almost set your watch by these commentators jipping him.
If he was at Chelsea funnily enough I think nothing would be said.

Penny for your thoughts, Alan Pardew?

Second thoughts let's not.

 

[West Side Charlie]

I'm glad he's not playing in a nothing game, less chance of an injury. I wish our two Senegalese Kings weren't playing either.

 

[billybadger]

He will probably still get blamed for that goal by some even tho he’s not even playing
