Jordan Pickford: Everton goalkeeper's 'erratic' form a dilemma for England
Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford's "erratic" club form has given England boss Gareth Southgate a "dilemma", says former Blackburn striker Chris Sutton.
Pickford, 25, played in all of England's matches at the 2018 World Cup and was also Southgate's number one during the Euro 2020 qualifying games.
But he has made club errors and was at fault for a goal by Crystal Palace's Christian Benteke on Saturday.
"Pickford has not played well enough," said Sutton on BBC Radio 5 Live.
In England's last two Euro 2020 qualifiers, Pickford started against Montenegro, but, with qualification then secured, Burnley's Nick Pope played against Kosovo.
Aston Villa's Tom Heaton was also in the squad. Sheffield United's Dean Henderson, on loan from Manchester United, has not won a senior England cap, but has represented the Under-21s.
This season, both Henderson and Pope have kept nine Premier League clean sheets, the joint highest number from any one goalkeeper - along with Liverpool's Alisson.
