- Asked if records matter, after eight England clean sheets in a row beat Gordon Banks' seven, Pickford said it is good to break them. But he sees football as a collective sport.
- Told he had agreed a new four-year Everton contract, Pickford said it shows the hard work he puts in. At 31 he is still young as a keeper and wants to see where he can get to.
- Asked how he stays alert when England's attack is busier, Pickford said he is quite vocal. Communicating with the back four in front of him keeps him in sync with the game.
“…as a goalkeeper there's nothing better than not making a save and keeping a clean sheet.”
- Asked about Elliot Anderson and Morgan Rogers, Pickford said both have been terrific. He praised Anderson's defensive side, screening the centre forward and breaking up play.
- Asked what has changed since his first cap, Pickford said not much in goalkeeping. He was a young lad learning the game on his debut against Germany at Wembley, and has since matured.
- Asked how big qualifying with two games to spare would be, Pickford said a great achievement, and his fifth major tournament in a row. They have to get the job done tomorrow.
- Asked if his records give him any comfort about the World Cup squad, Pickford said no. It starts with performing week in, week out for Everton, then hopefully getting picked by the boss.
