The Everton Sentinel
Match9 Dec 2026
Everton out of the cup
Ipswich Town ended it 1‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Danny Ward breaks a bone — 32 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 32 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Squad14 Dec 2026
Mark Travers wins the shoot-out
1 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.
Player ratings14 Dec 2026
Nicolás Montiel, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.96
A mark of 7.96 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Squad14 Dec 2026
Words exchanged at Everton
Jack Grealish and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Match12 Dec 2026
The run is over for Everton
8 matches without defeat, and then Tottenham. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.
The dugout14 Dec 2026
No hiding place for Jack Grealish
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jack Grealish, and the manager let it.
Match12 Dec 2026
A bad afternoon for Everton against Tottenham
1‑2 to Tottenham, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

George Pickford wants to come home
“I did not go to Accrington Stanley to sit and watch. I want to come back to Everton and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 15 matches say the rest.
