Jordan Pickford sends message to Jack Grealish as stars react to Everton masterclass vs Wolves
Jordan Pickford raved over Jack Grealish as Everton secured a 3-2 win against Wolves on Saturday afternoon.
Grealish is on loan from Manchester City and has already enjoyed a blistering start to life on Merseyside.
David Moyes wanted Everton to sign a game-changer in the final third and the England international has proven to be exactly that for him.
Jordan Pickford lauds Jack Grealish display against Wolves
Grealish provided two assists as Everton secured a dramatic victory against Wolves at Molineux on 30 August.
This has taken his Toffees’ assist tally to four and he appears to have hit the ground running in his new surroundings.
He moved to the Hill Dickinson Stadium for regular game time and to prove to Thomas Tuchel that he deserves to be in England’s World Cup squad.
- Grealish has provided four assists since joining the Toffees
- He had a 92 per cent pass accuracy against Wolves
- In the same game, he completed five dribbles and won seven fouls
Thus far, he certainly has given him plenty to think about, and it remains to be seen if he is on the plane next year.
After Grealish’s performance against Wolves, a number of Toffees players, including Jake O’Brien and Jarrad Branthwaite, replied to his Instagram post to laud his efforts.
Jordan Pickford also jumped in on the act and wrote: “The man, the myth.”

Everton need Jack Grealish to achieve their goals
Since his season-long loan arrival from Manchester City, Grealish has electrified Everton, hitting the ground running with flair and creativity that Aston Villa fans always banged on about.
In his debut substitute appearance against Leeds, he injected energy into the side, but it was his full start at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium versus Brighton where he truly shone, providing two assists in a 2-0 victory.
Grealish’s dribbling, vision, and willingness to take on defenders have revitalised Everton’s attack, something that was much needed after Sean Dyche’s days on Merseyside.
Fans, already flooding him with social media love pre-transfer, now chant his name, viewing him as the talismanic figure to usher in the club’s new era.
Moyes, a long-time admirer, certainly couldn’t be happier with Grealish’s arrival, injecting quality and ambition.
