Liverpool: So, Michael Owen stirred things up a bit on social media. He picked his Premier League team of the season, and guess who made the cut? Jordan Pickford from Everton.
Now, you’d think that would be a no-brainer, right? But not everyone is on board with that choice. Sure, Owen included big names like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, but the goalkeeper pick raised some eyebrows.
Some fans were scratching their heads, wondering why Pickford was chosen over other keepers like David Raya. I mean, Raya has been pretty solid this season, and some folks were quick to point that out.
One user even asked, “What’s the reason for Pickford over Raya? Raya’s better in every way!” Ouch! But then again, there were Everton fans who jumped to Pickford’s defense, saying he’s been a lifesaver for the team.
They pointed out his seven clean sheets and two penalty saves, arguing that without him, Everton would be in deep trouble. It’s true; he’s been a key player for them.
And here’s the kicker: Pickford’s been told it’s now or never if he wants to move to a bigger club. He’s been with Everton since 2017, and at almost 31, it’s crunch time for him.
Former England keeper Paul Robinson thinks Pickford has the talent to play for a top club, especially since he’s been in great form lately. It’s a big moment for him, and fans are definitely watching.
Owen’s full team? It’s Pickford in goal, with a solid lineup around him. It’s going to be interesting to see how this all plays out!
