Jordan Pickford made history for the Blues this weekend

Jordan sometimes puts your heart in your mouth and has the odd moment of madness, but don't all goalkeepers? They're all a bit crazy to play in that position.

Congratulations Jordan.

With another keeper, I think we would be in the Championship now.

It's right up there isn't it? Just ridiculously brilliant.

He's England No 1 and one of the reasons we're still in the Premier League.

His save against Arsenal at the weekend would probably have been save of the season, but play was called back for a foul on Branthwaite, and so it didn't count.

He has some amazing saves through the years that have contributed to Everton remaining in the top flight and okay his kicking can be erratic, but I think that he can forgiven for that as he has more than made up for it.

I hope he stays with Everton for many years to come.

Although, given how referees had a problem with moving the ball forward if defenders didn't retreat the required distance at free kicks, it may not last long. I think it is fair to say that the one unqualified success with refereeing has been the shaving foam.

If he'd have left to pursue honours and Champions League football, I wouldn't of blamed him. Hope he can win something with us.

He seems to be happy at our club, perhaps without the enormous pressure to be found at a top-level club. Says a lot for him that he stays.

Of course, family comes into it. Has young children, maybe doesn't want to uproot them. We sometimes forget the family dynamics. Has to suit all.

We were all calling him what for after his derby faux pas but he has never ever agitated for a move, he has proved you can play and keep your place in the England team while playing for Everton.

He's been worth every single penny we paid for him.

Yet I’m not too sure that I would put too much stock in the French-based CCIES (Comparative and International Education Society - “the largest and oldest organisation of its kind: focusing on comparative and international education”).

Their ranking (covering the world not just Europe) is drawn from “the sporting level of matches played according to the methodology, the results of games as well as the deviation in the percentage of saves compared to the expected value given the defensive strength of employer teams” (!).

Jordan P is nowhere to be seen.

However, we do see Flekken (5), Sanchez (6), Arriabalaga (17), and – in order – James Trafford, Allison, Kinsky*, Cooper (Sheff-Utd), and Areola in the top 100.

* WTF! To qualify a keeper must have played 20 games In the season: Kinsky has played three times for Spurs.

Shifting gear to something that might carry more weight: FIFA Ratings Top 100 Keepers:

1 Donnaruma followed in 2, needless to say, Allison.

And then we have: Ederson (5), Martinez (10), Vicario (20), Onana (21), our Jordan (22), Pope (23), Raya (24), Leno (34), Ramsdale (39), Areola (40), Ortega (41), Sa (66), Sanchez (68), Kepa (70), Flekken (71), Henderson (74), Johnstone (98).

Our Jordan behind Onana (“one of the worst keepers in Man Utd’s history”)?!

Jordan must be the first name on every teamsheet (mind you, he is the keeper). He is indispensable. I can’t wait to see him running out at the dock for the next five years at least.
