Jordan Pickford's England goalkeeper position faces competition
Jordan Pickford's position as England's number one goalkeeper is under threat as new manager Thomas Tuchel evaluates his options. Tuchel has stated that all four goalkeepers, including Burnley's James Trafford, are being considered equally. Pickford has been a key player for England, but his style may not align with Tuchel's preferences. Trafford, at 22, has shown strong performance in the Championship, boasting a high save percentage and better passing accuracy than Pickford. Tuchel values goalkeepers who are comfortable with the ball at their feet. Trafford's ability to play short passes contrasts with Pickford's tendency to go long, which may influence Tuchel's decision ahead of the World Cup.
