So where does he rank in terms of GK’s in the Prem over the years and internationally
Tough questions to answer that. Personally think at club level Everton or somewhere like Spurs in his ceiling. He’s a good solid keeper, nothing outstanding but still good. Internationally he’s not really had much in the way of competition and he’s never let England down.

Prem wise he’s still way behind the likes of Allison, Ederson, Cech, Seaman, Schmeical(Peter) and not as good as the likes of Raya, Lehman etc but he’s in the next tier down and has absolutely made the most of his potential.

I think that’s where I would put him

There have been a number of “Tier 1” GKs over the years

Schmicheal
Cech
Ederson
Allison
Seaman
Van Der Sar


Think the likes of Donnaruma and Raya could end in that list

Then the next lot is the likes of

Hart
Pickford
Friedal
Lloris
James
Reina

Good list I agree with all of those. I think if Arsenal can win a few things in next 2-4 years Raya makes the list as he’s been sensational for them. Donnaruma has so much time on his, I always forget he’s still mid 20s and if City can rebuild to what they were with the quality he has I agree he gets in the big boys list to.
 
He's incredibly consistent, has improved year after year. Makes very few mistakes now. He's a quality keeper.

I'd agree he isn't in the tier one group but he's at the top of the tier two table.

He absolutely doesn't get the respect he deserves but he completely gets it from Everton fans. We know what he does week after week. Oh, and he has still to ever let England down, 80 caps and counting 👍

Plus he’s a bit of a 💩 house 😂

I think he has been Englands best Gk since Seaman and for England he is prob on par with him
 
He has 100% never been lobbed from distance, twice 🫣. I'd take Pickford over Seaman every day of the week.
you’re right he has never been lobbed from distance twice. But unlike Sean he’s never won the:

Football league First division (Pre Prem)
Premier League x 2
FA cup x 4
Community shield x 3
European Cup winners Cup

Know what CV and career id rather have 😉
