Jordan Pickford added to his collection of howlers on Wednesday night as he cost Everton from bagging all three points against Leicester.
After flapping frantically at a few crosses, the former Sunderland stopper parried a tame effort by Youri Tielemans into his own net in the 67th minute to gift the Foxes a point.
Watch the error here below – something that’s left Everton fans calling for summer signing Robin Olsen to start against us tomorrow afternoon:
A string of gaffes this season has rises huge questions about his England spot ahead of this summer’s Euros, but Gareth Southgate has remained faithful to his man between the sticks so far.
Ancelotti, however, did drop the Mackem for our clash with Everton at St James’ Park earlier this season – a game that ended in a 2-1 victory for us.
Could he do the same again after yet another howler, or will we be lucky enough to see him start in Saturday morning’s early kick off?
The fact I’m hoping it’s the latter says all you need to know!

And yet Southgate thinks this guy is better than Pope or Darlow. lol.

It is the Geordie crowd that he struggles with, so will be fine on Sat, like our own Darlow he is a top shot stopper but also like Darlow cannot command his area, and always has a rick in him…

That was true value for money – 2 howlers from Pickford in 20 seconds!
