So Lee Dixon said Pickford needs to move to a big club.
A few days ago he said Pickford "barely does enough".
A few weeks ago he said he "should absolutely not be England's number 1"
So why should he move to a big club if he barely does enough? Is he good or bad? Which is it.
Mind you, this is the same fella who said "why is Baines starting for England, he is the present, Shaw is the future", when, not only could Shaw at his best, not lace Baines' boots on Baines' worst day. But what is that logic? You shouldn't play the present because younger players are there? Should Bellingham, Rice and Anderson be excluded from the squad because younger players like Miley are there?
Also the same Lee Dixon who once said, when England conceded a shot on goal due to Gary Cahill backing off "Jagielka has to do better to tell Cahill to put a foot in", as if Gary Cahill isn't a grown man capable of knowing when to tackle?
So the real question is, what's his issue with us? Is it because he's best mates with David "I somehow got lobbed by a free kick" Seaman? Or is it another issue? . Just weird behaviour every time he's on commentary, made an effort to excuse Henderson and Pope's poor games for England by saying "that's football, you can't save every shot", but criticises Pickford for not conceding goals? He's just a strange little man.

They have to earn a crust poor things. To be honest I wouldn't/ couldn't rate Dixon in my top 5 never mind 10. As for comments Murphy is better ugggghhhh!

English media always slating the gk position at this moment in time he is Englands no 1 and rightly so I listened to talksport few weeks ago and Alan pardew saying pickford shouldn't go to the world cup unbelievable now there causing beef with Bellingham an tuchal which me personally I highly rate jude but they need ask the question why is maguire still there should of been dropped years ago Henderson good player in his day but Wharton should be starting every game so basically my opinion still to this day i'm not sure if the fa picks the team or its the manager either way think its embarrassing il happily back us all day in the world cup an euros il happily watch every match supporting them but these international breaks are dull.

Think Dixon has had a look a Gary neville being a clown and thought I'm having a bit of that.

Now Danny Murphy having a go at him saying “if he’s so good why hasn’t a bigger club tried to sign him”
1. How do you know they haven’t? By all accounts he’s very settled here and I imagine clubs have asked and his agent has said he doesn’t want to move, so there’s no more talk.
2. You could literally say this about any player who doesn’t play for Real Madrid or Barcelona.
3. Danny Murphy was a good penalty taker and had an amazing 5 yard pass, why does he talk about other players like he was some midfield general.
It’s so boring, people who just don’t watch him so say “well he’s good for England but not Everton”. Then you have the edgy Everton fans who go “he’s overrated” because they called him crap in 2020, so are scared to admit they were wrong.
Only fanbase I see consistently say he’s bad are Newcastle fans and Liverpool fans. What a coincidence.
I hope no club ever does come in for him, aside from Alisson, Donnarumma and Raya, no one in the league is even close to him.

Not sure why we should care about what Lee Dixon says or thinks. He is looking for a response and he gets one keeping his name in the press. Just ignore him and he will go away.

I’d completely forgotten about him till this week but, as a bonus I get to forget about him again next week.
