Ex England number one praises Everton goalkeeper.
Ex England number one Peter Shilton has given his backing to current Three Lions star Jordan Pickford.
Shilton commented on Twitter to say he was glad to read Pickford intended to stay being vocal on the pitch.
The Mirror reported Pickford had a chat with Everton boss Marco Silva about his conduct, but insisted he would continue to shout at his defence.
Shilton argues this is a key part of a goalkeeper’s game.
He and Pickford are the only goalkeepers post-1966 to start in World Cup semi finals.
Pickford remains England’s number one heading into the Euro 2020 qualifiers over the next week.
He has had a solid start to the season for Everton, despite a very competitive start to the Premier League season.
After the international break for Everton is a trip to Bournemouth and visit to Sheffield United, where his side will go up against Dean Henderson, a pretender for Pickford’s England spot who just missed out on the squad this time.
