Jordan Pickford speaks on Sunderland return as Everton star in attendance for Newcastle clash

Jordan Pickford summed up his Everton

season thus far by saying he “feels really good.”

At the Stadium of Light, where he went

on Saturday to witness his old team,

Sunderland, play Newcastle United in the

FA Cup, the goalie was questioned about

the Blues campaign. Inquiries into the

29-year-old’s tenure with England were also made.

He described his current feeling as

“mint” and added: “I feel really good. At

Everton we are doing really well, we

have had a points deduction but we have

found some form and been picking up

results. With England it has always been

good, we have just got to keep working

hard, keep improving to be the best.”

Pickford was present for the Tyne and

Wear derby, where he will witness

Anthony Gordon, a former teammate at

Everton, square off against the team he

cheers for. Everton, who drew at Crystal

Palace on Thursday, has already

experienced third-round action heading into this match.

Pickford’s understudy Joao Virginia got

his chance to shine during the game,

which he had missed the previous four.

Before the match, which he described as

“massive for the whole of the North

East,” the Everton and England star

predicted that he would likely have hairs

on the back of his neck because it had

been a while. He also expressed

excitement about the pre-match song

and the enthusiastic response from the crowd.
