Everton great Southall dismisses Pickford doubts

Everton great Neville Southall is adamant Jordan Pickford will get back to his best.

The England international made another error leading to a Brighton goal in Everton's victory over the Seagulls last weekend.

The Blues also secured the services of Roma goalkeeper Robin Olsen on loan on Deadline Day.

But Southall is still backing Pickford, he told Sky Sports: “I think he's had probably three bad minutes in six months - if [that].

“His mistakes aren't killing us - I think that's a good thing - and I think once he finds his form, we'll be flying.

“There'll be a time when we have that little bump in the road and maybe we'll have to rely on him. Maybe people will have to change their opinions.

“But I do think, if Mr Ancelotti wants to play you, you must be half-decent. If his job was on the line, there'd be a taxi outside Goodison tomorrow."
