Your daily dose of Everton news and rumours
Jordan Pickford reflects on his recent of form including four clean sheets.
“It’s great as a goalkeeper to get clean sheets. It’s not just me getting them, it’s the lads in front of me working really hard – it’s a team thing. You know if you can limit chances, then we will get opportunities and it’s about taking them.
That’s how you win games, keeping clean sheets or only allowing the opponent just one goal. It’s a massive part of it and that’s what the manager has brought into this side. A lot of credit goes to the lads who have been working hard, from Dominic (Calvert-Lewin) right down the side. Then, when called upon, I will look to make the saves.” [EFC]
