Sean Dyche believes the next step forward for Jordan Pickford is to make his Everton heroics redundant by stopping attacks before they reach him.
Pickford has hit top form amid a relegation battle for a second consecutive year, following up his penalty save at Leicester City with a series of exceptional stops at Brighton and Hove Albion.
Dyche has now spoken with Pickford about how he might be able to prevent opponents from getting into dangerous positions in the first place by directing the players ahead of him - making his life easier by stopping attacks “at source”.
