Former Everton player Michael Ball has suggested that Jordan Pickford deserves ‘huge credit’ after two eye-catching performances.
Ball has claimed that Pickford has undergone an ‘up-and-down season’, but he has shown his class in Everton’s recent victories over Liverpool and Southampton.
Pickford has struggled for form and consistency this season and Carlo Ancelotti used Robin Olsen at times. He has looked “erratic” at times and Alan Shearer Shearer recently picked Burnley’s Nick Pope ahead of Pickford when asked who his starting XI would be if the European Championship started tomorrow and he was manager.
