Squad12 Apr 2027

A one-man rearguard from Jordan Pickford

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Everton

Jordan Pickford 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.

Market12 Apr 2027

Jake O'Brien wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Words at Everton training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. James Garner 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.

Player ratings12 Apr 2027

Fabrizio Sartori runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match10 Apr 2027

Everton come up short against Manchester United

Manchester United left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Alphonse Areola keeps Everton in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market29 Mar 2027

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.

Market15 Feb 2027

Fabrizio Sartori asks to leave Everton

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market15 Feb 2027

Jake O'Brien raises the bar for Everton

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Everton heard it as anything else.

Squad15 Feb 2027

A last season at home is what Nicolas Höfler is after

It is sentimental, it is completely genuine, and it is the beginning of a departure nobody has announced. The club can be gracious about it or it can pretend not to have heard.

Squad15 Feb 2027

The manager makes an example of Jack Grealish

“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.

Match13 Feb 2027

Manchester City take the points off Everton

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall 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.

Loan watch15 Feb 2027

Braiden Graham counts the days

“I watch every Everton game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Milton Keynes Dons runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
