Match

Everton taken apart

0‑3 to Wolverhampton, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market

Jarrad Branthwaite puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Everton, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Iliman N'Diaye

22 goals and a season average of 7.41 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match

5 matches without a win for Everton

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Everton are no longer polite ones.

The dugout

Ceiran Loney says Everton went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Jack Grealish 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.

Squad

Samuele Tupone gets the move he always wanted

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Jakub Kiwior

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jakub Kiwior, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Brooke Norton-Cuffy runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

In brief

  • Squad A row about effort at Everton
  • Boardroom Doors closed at Everton
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
