Jordan Pickford has been No 1 for nine years now, ever since Gareth Southgate brought him in to replace Joe Hart.
He has never been under as much of a threat as he is now.
Thomas Tuchel keeps saying that Pickford is still his No 1, which may well be true in an academic…
If Trafford gets the England keeper’s jersey for the toughest game imaginable away to Spain, is he now the No 1 ? Not sure what Pickford did to lose it. Simple rotation ? Not in a big game like this, surely.
Trafford has officially locked in that Goal keeper position under Tuchel.
He’s better than Pickford with his feet and decent shot stopper with good reflex aswell.
This performance will do a lot to his confidence
