21/10/2024

I think most of us agree that Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a really good game against Ipswich if you forget about his failure to convert at least two one one-on-ones with Muric.

It’s an assertion made in both The Telegraph and the Daily Mail (so someone has been briefing journalists) but Jordan Pickford will apparently have to fight for his place as England’s first-choice goalkeeper now that Thomas Tuchel is in charge.
