Jordan Pickford's Newcastle save was the best I've ever seen
"Everton are eighth despite not having won at the Hill Dickinson Stadium since December 6, such is the majesty of their away form. Only Arsenal (29) have accrued more away points this season than the Toffees (24), who only four years ago were being openly and publicly taunted about their travel sickness by Sean Dyche."
"Jordan Pickford and Thierno Barry are nothing more than walking cliches, enduring proof that David Moyes has been doing this long and brilliantly enough that he is now able to deconstruct the game as we know it and manipulate it to his will. Some platitudes can be redundant: you don't always have to beat the first man from a corner if Jarrad Branthwaite is ghosting in at the front post."
"Perhaps Moyes delivered a similar team talk in the bowels of St James' Park before securing victory by the same scoreline; the Newcastle fortress is in ruins and Everton took full advantage, a strong team performance underpinned by Pickford's standard heroics. Branthwaite called it 'the best save I've ever seen'. Eddie Howe said it was 'one of the best saves I've seen live'. Moyes described it as 'out of this world'."
Everton's success under David Moyes demonstrates how effective simplicity can be in football. The team has accumulated 24 away points this season, second only to Arsenal's 29, a remarkable turnaround from their previous travel struggles. This away form compensates for their poor home record, keeping them in eighth place. Moyes has deconstructed traditional football tactics, exemplified by unconventional corner routines and straightforward attacking approaches. Jordan Pickford's exceptional goalkeeping provides crucial support, with his stoppage-time save against Newcastle earning widespread praise from players, managers, and commentators. The victory at St James' Park showcased Everton's strong team performance and mental resilience.
