2025/26 Jordan Pickford

[Shevin Keedy]

Really? I thought it meant that if Pickford was injured/unavailable England shouldn’t play with a keeper at all which would put all this concerted media anti Pickford conspiracy in the bin for good.

You're nearly right, but not quite. What it's actually saying is JP should remain England's number 1, BUT should it go to penalties in any major tournament, then he should attempt to save all shots using only his head.

I can see how you're confused.

Aaah……makes sense now.

Never ever heard of that 1st name. I had to check when it was

Promotion team of 68/69 and then kept us in the top flight for 4 seasons virtually single handed.

Imagine what he could have achieved if he used both

Pah, not required!

I think Henderson is a quality keeper and made a couple of big saves against us last weekend, but Pickford is another level.

It's imperative that the club secures Pickles' future past 2027. Hopefully before January he'll have put pen to paper on a deal that keeps him at the club until 2030. I have no doubt he wants to stay, but also no doubt that many other clubs would love to try their hand with a low-ish bid if he enters the final 12 months of his current contract.

To be fair it's proper weird singing 'England's number 1' at your goalkeeper when the opposition (Pickford) is literally the established England number 1 now for almost a decade.

Just checking this is the Southall that has collected the most silverware of any Everton player ever?

Imho until Pickford wins something he isn't even in the same postcode.

Whatever their respective talent was/is, Southall had the advantage of playing in a great team. Pickford has not had that.
So, IMO, in terms of ability he could be "in the same postcode", as you put it.
No way of proving it, of course.
