Liverpool and Everton meeting is often coined the ‘friendly derby’ but sometimes that old mantra is lost in modern climates, something which Jordan Pickford embodied ahead of the most recent meeting.
As the players lined up in the tunnel, the England international appeared to take a large gulp of his drink and then spit it out on the Anfield tunnel floor.

It’s hard to tell fully what happened from the angle provided but it does seem that the 29-year-old showed a huge amount of disrespect to both our club but also whoever would then have to clean his mess up.
Rivalry and tribalism is part of football but this is taking it too far and just shows what type of man the Sunderland-born stopper is, if he did indeed do what it appeared he has.
You can watch Pickford in the tunnel (from 4:47) via Liverpool FC on YouTube:

What can u expect from a pig but a grunt…
if pickford has spat in the tunnel after the match its disgusting and some type of punishment should adhered.
I think he did it twice. Notice he tried to do it behind someone else’s back so he wouldn’t be seen, knowing it to be wrong of course at least he should be man enough and brave enough to do it where he could be seen but no, he’s just a pathetic coward.
He probably doesn’t know any better. Probably does it on his own floor at home, so just the “norm” for him.
yeah so is the referee being favored by liverpool and liverpool using it to their advantage that was more disgusting.
If he really did it Southgate should not select him for the England duty anymore. Disgusting.
Good!!! This kid is nowhere near an International quality. England’s downfall will be him next year.
He is the most despicable human being I know . Manners of a dog . Why does a fellow footballer behave like that. It’s for people to evcomment on.
As Gérard Houlier famously stated…
“Sometimes, when you spit into the wind, it comes back in your face!”
Which for Pickford, it certainly keeps doing for him when meeting the Reds 😉👌

Wait… just humour me here… but maybe he was just spitting? Even though it is disgusting any where, like on the pitch clearing their noses.
