Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Carlos Alcaraz runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Everton

John Stones was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market28 Sep 2026

Everton may not be able to give Jarrad Branthwaite what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Jarrad Branthwaite wants continental football; whether Everton can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

A masterclass from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

Marked 9.38 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Jordan Pickford gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Ninety minutes of Iliman N'Diaye at his very best

Marked 8.17. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Everton.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at Everton training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Igor Silva is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad28 Sep 2026

7 new faces, and Everton are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Match26 Sep 2026

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall rescues a point for Everton

It needed Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against West Ham United, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Igor Silva gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Igor Silva has just signed for Everton, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Jordan Pickford in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Everton this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market7 Sep 2026

Juan Jesus wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Everton hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Justin Clarke at Everton

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Justin Clarke is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the eights

A performance of 9.44 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Wages eat 383% of everything Everton earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Market7 Sep 2026

Everton sign Igor Silva with one eye on the future

Nobody at the club will say out loud who this signing is for, which is how you know exactly who it is for. Igor Silva has been brought in to take a shirt somebody is still wearing.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Dejan Joveljić

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Dwight McNeil runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
