Jordan Pickford enjoyed a quiet night between the sticks for Everton against Bournemouth on Tuesday night.
That did not stop the England number one being the vocal leader he is as he was constantly shouting at his Everton teammates.
Given how impressive Bournemouth have been this season, David Moyes’ side certainly did well to limit the chances for the home side.
Andoni Iraola praised Everton’s attacking threat going into the game and he experienced just what Jack Grealish was capable of doing.
But it was the defensive shift from Everton’s midfielders and defenders which may have been most impressive on the south coast.
Pickford had virtually nothing to do throughout the 90 minutes as he has now shared what he’s constantly shouting at his teammates.

Pickford could be seen frustrated with Tarkowski as he looked to shift on the blame for his error.
However, if the England number one is constantly demanding his players to get up the pitch, then perhaps there is some truth in Carragher’s comments.
The penalty awarded for Leeds United in the opening game of the season was a prime example of this.
Tarkowski has been praised this season for his displays alongside Michael Keane, but this may be something that Moyes needs to take a look into.
