Jamie O’Hara has admitted that England's number one Jordan Pickford didn't arrive in Qatar in “great form”.
Everton's goalkeeper has started every single Worl Cup match so far as his side advanced to the quarter-finals of the tournament and are set to face Fran on December 10.
The pundit insisted that even if the Three Lions lose the match to Didier Deschamps' side, he will get Gareth Southgate's back because he manages to get the best out of players who haven’t been performing well for their clubs.
Speaking to talkSPORT's YouTube channel, the former Tottenham player believes there is no other manager who could do better than Southgate does for the team.
“I will be gutted if we lose on Saturday, but I will still back Southgate to be the manager because I don’t think there’s a better manager because I don’t think there’s a better manager out there right now who can get out what he gets out of these players,”
“Stones, Maguire, Pickford and Shaw, these are players who are players who haven’t been in great form coming into the tournament.”
