Being through the England set-up since I was a young lad, passing was the style of football I grew up with.
— Jordan Pickford
The Manchester City game is what the Premier League is all about. You have to thrive on those big occasions.
I think everyone can have their own opinion. I think that all that matters is how I feel and my opinion, my coaches, and the people around me, like my family.
I would advise that if you can get out on loan and play football, it is the best path to go down.
My mam and dad have brought me up well.
As a goalkeeper, you want to be the best, but you can only get better by playing games, making saves, and putting in man-of-the-match performances.
Every chance I've had, I've grabbed the chance to wear the No. 1 shirt.
Sometimes, off the field you learn the most, becoming a better person, and nutritionally, I've worked a lot on it.
Nothing really affects me. That's from being brought up well by my parents and where we're from, and we're a hard working family.
I don't worry about being the best keeper in the tournament. I just focus on being the best I possibly can for myself and for the team.
Physical activity can help improve your mental health, as it helps to take your mind off things if you are having a bad time.
The only way you're going to get caps is by playing. I've played all the way through the age groups, and that was my experience. Now I'm on the main stage, and I've got to play to my strengths.
I never really doubt myself or think that if I make a mistake, I am going to make another mistake.
I was growing up watching Rooney as an England legend and as one of the top players in England in my lifetime.
As long as I'm communicating and staying in the game, my concentration is always going to be there.
England fans are a different class. When the fans are like that, it makes us even better and so much more relaxed.
It's my job to be a goalkeeper and keep the ball out of the net, and that's what I've done. I've kept a clean sheet.
The quality of goalkeepers is very good in the Premier League - and you have to be good at using your feet.
That is what I always do: try and perform well.
It is never nice to see keepers make mistakes. All keepers talk about it, and we work very hard not to make those mistakes.
I always wanted to be going out on loan and playing football and maturing as a goalkeeper.
I hate making mistakes, and I hate conceding goals, but I try not to beat myself up too much.
I am always learning and always wanting to improve.
Getting the opportunity to become England's number one was down to being at Everton, I believe, and being able to put in solid performances week in and week out.
No, I never go into a game with any doubts. I always feel confident in my ability, and hopefully I can be strong mentally.
I know straight away if I can do better. It doesn't take people to criticise me for me to realise it.
Places like Wrexham and Southport, when there are not that many people there, were tough. You are a young lad, and you're having abuse hurled at you.
As a goalkeeper, you've got to have mental toughness, and that's one thing I'm good at.
Freak mistakes happen sometimes as a goalkeeper that if you make them, then it's always going to bite you.
It's never nice to make mistakes, but it's just how you bounce back.
I'm always ready to play when called upon; that's why I train so hard.
I always enjoy football.
I've been critcised for going with my top hand, but as long as you save it, that's all that counts.
So long as I keep performing week in, week out for Everton, I will have the chance to stay England number one.
It means a lot to be voted for awards by the fans and your team-mates.
I don't practice many penalties! I don't mind taking them but don't really practice saving many.
For me, going out on loan and playing men's football was crucial, and I was getting bored of playing Under-23 football because I wasn't getting tested.
I want to become the best person as a goalkeeper I can be.
The important thing is to react well to your mistakes.
While at Sunderland, I was No. 13, which I'd worn since I was 18, so it proved to be a decent number for me.
I wasn't going to McDonald's every week, but a nice pizza after three points isn't a bad way to have it.
Sometimes maybe it just doesn't go right in the game, but that's football, and I think I'm definitely improving game by game, and getting more experience is good.
I've saved a few penalties; I'm good at them.
I'm just a normal lad.
I always take my opportunities.
I am able to mentally block out mistakes.
It is all about concentration, and the more games you play, the more you concentrate.
We do about 600 saves in a training week, just for that one save on a match day. That's why you've got to be in the game at all times.
I play in the moment; nothing fazes me.
I'm just a lad who likes playing football. I'm not bothered about anything else.
