Supporters of Everton have slated Jordan Pickford following the England stopper’s 100th Premier League start for the Toffees.
As announced by the club prior to last night’s 2-2 draw with Newcastle United (as per Everton), the goalkeeper made his 100th start in the league, however, instead of praising, fans slammed their number one.

How is he England’s number one? He’s not good enough… you dont let in two goals in 2 mins in that fashion ?

He’s the worst player we have.

Maybe not now, eh?

Should Everton look to bring in a new goalkeeper next summer?Yes, he's not good enough
No, we should stick by him |
During this season for the Toffees, the 25-year-old stopper has featured in 29 games in all competitions, during which he has kept eight clean sheets and conceded 40 goals in the other 21 games (as per Transfermarkt).
Having picked up a 4/10 performance rating in his milestone match (as per Liverpool Echo), fans were reserving little praise for the former Sunderland ‘keeper.
Hopefully his last for us. Awful.

What do we think?
With the Toffees having been cruising at 2-0 when heading into added time at Goodison Park, it is fair to say that Jordan Pickford, who is valued at £31.5 million (as per Transfermarkt), did not cover himself in glory on his 100th Premier League start (via Liverpool Echo).
With a 6.45/10 average rating for the season (per WhoScored), it is absolutely clear that the 25-year-old is not having a great season and he is fairly being criticised for that.
