Sky Sports host hits out at Everton star Jordan Pickford as footage emerges
Sky Sports host Mark McAdam has hit back at Everton star Jordan Pickford after footage emerged of the goalkeeper shunning the camera away from Harry Kane after England’s World Cup defeat on December 10.
Kane missed a crucial penalty that would have brought England back level with France at 2-2 and could be seen crouching with his head in his hands at the end of the fixture.
McAdam responded to the Pickford footage by claiming that you shouldn’t “film any emotion” during live sport, in a sarcastic jibe at the Everton goalkeeper.
“From now on please don’t film any emotion during live sport,” said McAdam on Twitter.
Really? the outburst from McAdam seems slightly over the top, Pickford was simply being a good teammate to his England captain Kane.
Solid showing.
It was another solid showing for Pickford in an international tournament for England and any doubts heading into the competition of his number 1 status in the team have been dashed.
The 28-year-old put out mature and classy performances throughout England’s stay in the competition and can come back to Goodison Park with his head held high.
Pickford will have to get his Toffees head switched right back on though, the Merseyside club will need him at his very best yet again.
Frank Lampard’s side are sitting agonisingly close to the dreaded drop zone and another relegation scrap could result in stars like Pickford leaving the club.
This isn’t to suggest he will, but the Blues need to avoid getting themselves embroiled in a similar situation to last season to make sure players’ heads aren’t turned.
This all starts on December 26 against Wolves, in what will be a must-win game for Lampard and the Blues.
