'Embarrassed' Pickford tipped for England axe by former Three Lions striker Phillips




Gareth Southgate will have a big decision to make ahead of Euro 2020 next year if the Toffees' shot-stopper continues to make big mistakes

Everton's Jordan Pickford needs to find a consistency to his game if he is to retain his position as England's first choice goalkeeper, according to former striker Kevin Phillips, with the 26-year-old having come under increasing pressure following more high-profile mistakes.

Pickford's performances have been under the microscope for some time, but the Sunderland-born shot-stopper hit the headlines yet again when the Toffees fell to a 3-0 defeat against Wolves at Molineux last weekend.
Indeed, the Three Lions No.1 was beaten at his front post as Diego Jota added the hosts' third, an error that followed the 'keeper coming very close to spilling a tame Daniel Podence effort into his own net – a blunder that was followed by a wry smile.
