Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has made his feelings on manager David Moyes clear following the recent struggles on Merseyside.

Since the international break, Everton have failed to pick up three points in a game, with their hopes of European football taking a huge blow.

This has led to some Everton supporters calling for a managerial change over the summer over on TalkingPoints.

Jordan Pickford shares clear David Moyes verdict at Everton

Moyes was satisfied with Everton’s point at Selhurst Park, despite the notion a win was a non-negotiable in the bid for Europe.

Frustrations were high among some in the fanbase, with Pickford backing his manager for having Everton’s best interests at heart.

“The manager [David Moyes] has put his own stamp on it. He is a workhorse! He’s non-stop. He won’t leave anything to chance and will never cut corners,” Pickford told the Everton website.

“He puts a lot of work in to give us the detail to give us the best opportunity to win each game.

“He knows the club so well, he knows how to get the best out of individuals and, on top of all that, he knows Evertonians and what they demand from their team – and I think that’s been a massive help as well.”

Next up for Everton is the final home game of the season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium against Sunderland.

Hopes of European qualification are still alive, but only just, and they would require some major luck with results elsewhere.

Everton decision over David Moyes is pretty straightforward

Despite what some supporters may think, uprooting Moyes from the dugout and making a move for Andoni Iraola feels incredibly unlikely.

The 63-year-old has done a lot of good on Merseyside since he returned to the club last January.

However, European football was there for the taking this season and the poor run since the international break has cost the Toffees.

With one final year remaining on his current deal, there will be a lot of discussions to be had over the summer as to what next for Moyes.
