2025/26 Jordan Pickford

[Swartzy]

We're realistically heading into the world cup as favourites, we have been for a few years now..

Pickford has been a standout keeper in that team, that Equates to world class..

….my personal definition is, ‘walks into any team on the planet’ which I don’t believe he does. Southall definitely did, as is the case with Alan Ball and Ray Wilson.

Pickford is a top keeper, though.

I’m not sure there’s too many that we could say are definitely better than him though. Certainly not for the consistent levels he’s been at for a number of years now for club and country.

We’d probably be in one of the lower divisions now if it weren’t for him.

He has his weaknesses, as with any keeper. But if we’re not putting him in the category of world class, he’s certainly the closest I’ve seen to it in an Everton shirt in my lifetime.

….its a fair point, Dan.

I, for one, always look forward in anticipation when England enter a major tournament as “favourites”…

Yeah, favourites means nothing, ive grown to not expect anything out of these tournaments.

My point was, we are looked at as world class team and Pickford & Kane are probably the first 2 names on the team sheet.

To me, thats World Class.

Spain are clearly the favourites

Spain are clearly the favourites

Spain are favourites in our eyes cos we know what happens with us, but the amount of quality we have to choose from others will look at us.

Same with the squad Belgium used to have. Favourites doesn't mean anything unless you can live up to it..

Everton news: Jordan Pickford and Adam Aznou - Giulia Bould Q&A

www.bbc.com

the final part of our Q&A with BBC Radio Merseyside's Giulia Bould, we discuss the futures of Jordan Pickford and Adam Aznou.

Rich asked: I don't want to lose him, but what stops Pickford playing for a top five English club or European team? Is it Jordan himself who has reasons why he doesn't want/need this?

Giulia: It is my understanding that Pickford sees Everton as his home, and there is intent on both sides for him to finish his career at Hill Dickinson Stadium with a new deal being discussed.

Loyalty is not a new thing at Everton - Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman are just two who stayed with the Blues when there was interest from other clubs. Pickford loves being Everton's number one. He made his 300th Premier League appearance for the club against Crystal Palace and remains England's number one, breaking the clean sheet record against Wales with his eighth consecutive one.

Sometimes players just fit at a club and Pickford is a great example of this. Many credit him with keeping Everton in the top flight over three brutal seasons fighting relegation and he is regarded as a hero for that. A new flag is soon to be unveiled at Hill Dickinson for their goalkeeper matching the fans' song "Jordan Pickford is dynamite", and the man himself is more than happy to call the stadium his home

Spain have more quality

Spain have more quality

Either Either, my point was about Pickford, I was using England as a reference of him being 'World Class'

Yes he's world class as he's in the top 10 goalkeepers in the world
