The Toffees are currently eighth in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Premier League<\/a> with an outside shot at European football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jordan Pickford is one of the main reasons why they stayed up last season and improved this year. He was already playing at a very high level under Sean Dyche, but has somehow got even better under Moyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>How has Jordan Pickford improved over the past year?<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-2024-25-under-sean-dyche\" data-level=\"3\">2024-25 under Sean Dyche<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-since-david-moyes-return\" data-level=\"3\">Since David Moyes&#8217; return<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-2025-26-season-world-cup\" data-level=\"3\">2025-26 season + World Cup<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2024-25-under-sean-dyche\">2024-25 under Sean Dyche<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sean Dyche left Everton 16th in the table with just over half of the season played. Eighteen points from 20 games was good enough to have them above the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/wolverhampton-wanderers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wolverhampton Wanderers<\/a> and relegated trio <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/ipswich-town\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ipswich Town<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/leicester-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leicester City<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/southampton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Southampton<\/a>. But they were still just two points clear of the bottom three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By then, Pickford still manage to have a good impact overall. He had a positive goals prevented tally of +1.7 and ranked well among other goalkeepers in saves (fifth) and even clean sheets (second) thanks to five goalless draws.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2>BOYLE Sports offer: Bet \u00a310 Get \u00a340 in free bets<\/h2>\r\n<p>Not signed up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/boylesports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BOYLE Sports<\/a> yet?

Only five teams had faced fewer shots than them (253) at that point, while they were mid-table collectively in goals conceded (27) and him individually in save percentage (71%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a catch, however. Looking at the quality of chances they conceded, Everton were just slightly above average. The shots on target their opponents managed were worth, on average, 0.107 Expected Goals &#8212; the eighth best in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it&#8217;s nothing to write home about, it&#8217;s still better than most of the teams. And despite not being great defensively, they were much better on that end than on the other. Dyche&#8217;s side&#8217;s main issue was creating opportunities and scoring goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that only Southampton (12) had found the net less often than the Toffees (17) clearly proves this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-since-david-moyes-return\">Since David Moyes&#8217; return<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Moyes fixed this during his second spell. Since his return in January 2025, Everton are now among the best in the division in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their shots conceded, on average, are worth 0.10 xG &#8211; the exact same as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arsenal<\/a>.

Which means that Moyes&#8217; defensive approach has complemented Pickford&#8217;s heroics, making for the league&#8217;s third best defence in this span (just 1.1 goals conceded per game).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also leads the league in goals prevented (+10.2), and saves (147) in this span.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/24163938\/player_-pitch-5-stats-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1440257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/24163938\/player_-pitch-5-stats-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/24163938\/player_-pitch-5-stats-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/24163938\/player_-pitch-5-stats-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/24163938\/player_-pitch-5-stats-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/24163938\/player_-pitch-5-stats-214x267.jpg 214w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/24163938\/player_-pitch-5-stats-160x200.jpg 160w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/24163938\/player_-pitch-5-stats-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/24163938\/player_-pitch-5-stats-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/24163938\/player_-pitch-5-stats-32x40.jpg 32w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/24163938\/player_-pitch-5-stats.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2025-26-season-world-cup\">2025-26 season + World Cup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This season alone, the Golden Glove award will most likely end up with Arsenal&#8217;s David Raya.

Pickford is England&#8217;s main option and has been basically since his debut nearly 10 years ago, in November 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For perspective, the last time he didn&#8217;t feature in an international break for the national team was in September-October 2023 &#8212; two and a half years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the last time England played in a major tournament game without Pickford, including Nations League finals, was in the infamous 2-1 loss to Iceland at Euro 2016. At the time, Joe Hart was in goal and remained the first-choice goalkeeper despite the fall-off and a miserable loan transfer to Torino in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So Pickford would probably remain as England&#8217;s No.1 even if his form wasn&#8217;t as good as it is now. But the fact that he has not only maintained good performances but also improved them since Moyes took over is a great sign for Three Lions fans ahead of the biggest and greatest sporting event in the whole world.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jordan Pickford had already been playing at a high level, but improved even more following David Moyes&#8217; arrival.
