Everton’s Pickford hits out at pundits over criticism

“Everyone hates you, for some reason, that’s part of being an England player,” Pickford told British media.

“I think the press and everybody, the punters – look at Gary Neville – they just want to come for England players … as a person, I don’t let it affect me.”

Pickford said his error against Palace was a result of his leg getting stuck and he was lucky to escape injury.

“I’ve watched the goal. I’m lucky I haven’t done my cruciate (knee ligaments), to be honest. My foot planted,” he added. “I couldn’t get my leg out. It was stuck.”
