While Everton continues to battle in the lower half of the table, one player keeps standing tall — Jordan Pickford.

The England goalkeeper has delivered consistently outstanding performances, keeping his team in games with big saves and vocal leadership. His reflexes, especially in one-on-one situations, have earned Everton valuable points.

Pickford’s distribution also remains a key weapon, helping the team launch quick counters from the back. Despite the pressure and noise surrounding the club, he’s remained calm and focused throughout.

Manager Sean Dyche often credits him as the foundation of the team’s defensive resilience. “He leads from the back,” Dyche said, “and gives the players in front of him belief.”

If Everton stays up this season, Pickford will have played one of the biggest roles in that survival story.
