Deeney Questions Pickford's Role in England's World Cup Bid
Troy Deeney, the former captain of Watford, stated that England cannot win the World Cup with Jordan Pickford as their first-choice goalkeeper. Pickford achieved his 85th cap during England's 4-2 victory against Croatia, marking a strong start to England's World Cup campaign.
The Everton goalkeeper made his international debut in late 2017 and has been a consistent player under coach Gareth Southgate. Despite this, Deeney remains skeptical about the 32-year-old's capabilities, believing that England's chances of winning the World Cup this summer are hindered by Pickford's unpredictability.
Deeney questioned Pickford's performance, particularly regarding his handling of shots, and expressed concerns that he does not instill confidence in the team.
