00:00 In terms of the European Championships for Everton, a fair few representatives there.
00:08 You spoke about the prize assets in Onana and Brantway. Is this a sort of tournament
00:14 they should see as a chance to really break through? I know they've had a bit of a tough
00:17 time at Everton this season again, but it's a real chance for them to shine on the international
00:23 stage?
00:24 Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I was in Onana. You've seen them play against England in the
00:28 last international break, against Belgium. He was fantastic. And understandably, Everton
00:33 fans are thinking, "Oh, why can't we see that on week in, week out?" Because he has got
00:37 talent. We've seen him dominate some games. You know, it's Choms' first game in charge.
00:43 He won the winner against Arsenal last season. He was toes of force in the middle of the
00:48 park, but there just hasn't been that consistency. And as someone who has said he'd like to go
00:52 and play for a big club, you want to go and see him do it consistently. He grabbed games
00:56 by the stuff of the net. But he'll be looking to do that for Belgium, maybe Everton. He'll
01:02 be looking for him to do that. I think, well, if he has a good Euros, his price tag will
01:06 increase. And Jarrett Bramfoort, you know, I still don't think he gets enough credit
01:11 for the season he's had. He's been absolutely immense. He really, really has. Fantastic
01:17 breakthrough campaign. He's just got better and better. And if he isn't on the plane,
01:24 it would be a real, real... I don't know. It would be a disservice to him, to be honest
01:32 with you. He's been ever-present pretty much all season. When he's been fit, he didn't
01:38 start the first three games. He's been magnificent. He's won Everton's Player of the Year and
01:45 Young Player of the Year, understandably, because he's been that good. And Jordan Pickford,
01:50 obviously, he's going to be in goal for England. He's won Everton Player of the Year this season.
01:58 That's three seasons in a row now that Jordan Pickford's won it. And maybe he's finally
02:01 starting to get the credit that he deserves from the outside, because Everton fans have
02:06 known how good he is. He's matured. Every goalkeeper still makes a mistake. But for
02:13 England, has he done a lot wrong? Absolutely not. He's been fantastic for England over
02:18 the past few years, from the World Cup to the Euros. And yeah, Everton fans again will
02:25 be hoping he has a big Euros, just to prove everyone wrong, really, basically. You see,
02:30 look, we've been telling you this all along, pretty much. So it'll be interesting. And
02:34 then Vitaly Mikhalenko, hopefully, can be fit for the Ukraine. Disappointing one for
02:40 Nathan Paterson, who hasn't been included in the Scotland squad because of his hamstring
02:44 injury, which is a blow for him. I think maybe he knew that when he suffered his hamstring
02:50 injury. He had surgery after the Chelsea defeat. But yeah, plenty for Everton fans to keep
02:56 their eyes on over the summer.
