[Sport] Disastrous numbers and a dramatic incident ... How did the England first goalkeeper collapse in 2020?

[HiTLeR]

 

During 11 games in a row, English international goalkeeper Jordan Pickford played ten of them mainly, Everton's team failed to maintain a clean sheet in the Premier League, and the goalkeeping position became one of its clear weaknesses, which disrupted its promising start early this season.

 

Pickford, who was a national hero in England after the distinguished levels he showed in the 2018 World Cup, his career deteriorated sharply, especially during the current year, which affected the great ambitions with which Everton started his season under the leadership of veteran Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti.

 

Beckford conceded a long-shot goal by Irish player Robbie Brady of Burnley, before his team equalized during the opening confrontation of the eleventh round, to make Everton falter again in the local competition.

 

Brady’s shot is the fifth from outside the penalty area that Pickford has received in the Premier League during the current season, a number that no goalkeeper has received in the competition from long shots.

 

Beckford has conceded 39 goals from long shots since wearing the Everton shirt in 2017, a number that confirms the international goalkeeper's suffering with shots that have become a real threat to his team during all matches.

 

Former English star Darren Bennett publicly criticized Pickford at the end of last September, after a series of mistakes, especially after he scored twice against Fleetwood, which competes in the third division, during the third round match of the English Professional League Cup "Carabao Cup".

 

Everton nets have conceded 18 goals in 11 games in the Premier League, as the worst line of defense in the competition, behind 17th-placed Fulham, which prompted Ancelotti to seek the help of Swedish goalkeeper Robin Olsen against Newcastle in the seventh round, before Pickford regained his place again, except That incident did not change anything, nor did the veteran goalkeeper's levels improve.

 

 

 

The negative facts of the English goalkeeper did not stop at his levels and the negative numbers that his team suffered from, and extended to causing the Dutch defender Vergil Van Dyck, the star of the Liverpool team, to sever the cruciate ligament, after a violent intervention that was widely blamed for him.

 

Many stars criticized the way Beckford interfered with the giant Dutch defender, which exposed him to an injury that would keep him out of action for months, led by Brazilian Allison, Liverpool goalkeeper and England's Wayne Rooney, the current Derby County coach and one of the Premier League legends.

 

The Beckford position as a main goalkeeper for the English national team has become threatened, in light of its modest levels during the current season, but he was lucky to return Dean Henderson to the ranks of Manchester United after a loan starring during which he starred in Sheffield United last season, where he remained a substitute for the Spanish David de Gea, as well as the decline in results Burnley, after goalkeeper Nick Pope's remarkable brilliance last season.
