“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.”
