00:00 In terms of the European Championships for Everton, there are a fair few representatives there.
00:07 You spoke about the prize assets in Onana and Brantford,
00:11 but it's a chance to really break through.
00:15 I know they've had a bit of a tough time, Everton, this season again,
00:18 but it's a real chance for them to shine on the international stage.
00:22 Yes, absolutely. I was in Onana, you've seen them play against England in the last international break,
00:28 against Belgium, it was fantastic.
00:31 Understandably, Everton fans are thinking, 'Why can't we see that on week in, week out?'
00:34 because he has got talent, we've seen him dominate some games.
00:40 Sean's had his first game in charge, the one that won against Arsenal last season,
00:45 he was toes of force in the middle of the park, but there just hasn't been that consistency.
00:50 As someone who has said he'd like to go and play for a big club, you want to go and see him do it consistently.
00:54 He's grabbed games by the scruff of the neck, but he'll be looking to do that for Belgium,
01:00 maybe Everton will be looking for him to do that,
01:02 and I think if he has a good young rose, his price tag will increase.
01:06 Jarrett Brantford, I still don't think he gets enough credit for the season he's had.
01:11 He's been absolutely immense, he really has.
01:14 Fantastic breakthrough campaign, he's just got better and better.
01:18 If he isn't on the plane, it would be a real, real...
01:26 I don't know, it would be a disservice to him to be honest with you.
01:31 He's been ever-present pretty much all season, when he's been fit he didn't start the first three games.
01:38 He's been magnificent, won Everton's Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year, understandably,
01:46 because he's been that good.
01:48 Jordan Pickford is obviously going to be in goal for England, he's won Everton Player of the Year this season.
01:56 That's three seasons in a row now that Jordan Pickford has won it,
01:59 and maybe he's finally starting to get the credit that he deserves from the outside,
02:03 because Everton fans have known how good he is.
02:06 He's matured, every goalkeeper still makes mistakes,
02:10 but for England has he done a lot wrong?
02:14 Absolutely not, he's been fantastic for England over the past few years,
02:18 from the World Cup to the Euros.
02:20 Everton fans again will be hoping he has a big Euros,
02:26 just to prove everyone wrong really, basically,
02:28 and say 'look, we've been telling you this all along pretty much'.
02:31 So it'll be interesting, and Vitaly Mikhalenko hopefully can be fit for the Ukraine.
02:37 Disappointing one for Nathan Paterson, who hasn't been included in the Scotland squad
02:41 because of his hamstring injury, which is a blow for him.
02:46 I think maybe he knew that when he suffered his hamstring injury,
02:49 he had surgery after the Chelsea defeat.
02:52 But yeah, plenty for Everton fans to keep their eyes on over the summer.
