Everton spent much of the summer searching for a right-back, eventually signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles – and yet may still have a completely different long-term plan for the position. Everton signed Maitland-Niles from Lyon for around £4.3m on deadline day, so the obvious assumption was that David Moyes had finally got his right-back. Yesterday suggested it […]
Everton’s transfer window left David Moyes with a smaller squad than he wanted. Tyrique George may be one of the players who benefits from it. There is no pretending Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United made Everton‘s deadline-day problems disappear. Moyes wanted more players and didn’t get them. But George offered one reason for encouragement […]
David Moyes covered plenty of ground after Everton’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United at the Hill Dickinson, including Jack Grealish’s return, two stunning goals and the rather unavoidable subject of his small squad. Everton twice came from behind on Sunday, Tyrique George scoring his first goal for the club before debutant Ainsley Maitland-Niles rescued a […]
Thrown on late against United at the Hill Dickinson, the Deadline Day signing rescued a point with a stunning strike from distance six minutes into added time. And afterwards, he admitted the 2-2 draw didn’t really feel like a draw at all. Maitland-Niles: ‘It felt like a win’… “It felt like a win,” Maitland-Niles told […]
Everton twice came from behind to earn a dramatic 2-2 draw with Manchester United at the Hill Dickinson. Tyrique George scored a belter for his first Everton goal before Ainsley Maitland-Niles rescued a point with an even later one. Two crackers. One point. But it felt like a win. Here are our player ratings. Jordan […]
Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored a stunning equaliser six minutes into added time as Everton somehow rescued a 2-2 draw with Manchester United at the Hill Dickinson. And what a way for the Deadline Day signing to introduce himself. Everton twice fell behind, first to Bryan Mbeumo and then Benjamin Šeško, with Tyrique George scoring a cracker […]
David Moyes has used his programme notes ahead of today’s Manchester United game to issue another rallying call to Everton following a difficult end to the transfer window. Moyes struck a positive tone during Friday’s press conference despite admitting his disappointment at Everton’s Deadline Day business. And his message today follows a similar theme. Moyes: […]
When Everton and Manchester United walk out at the Hill Dickinson this afternoon, another little piece of history will be made. These two have been taking chunks out of each other for well over a century, although United weren’t even called Manchester United when it all started. The first meeting came in September 1892, when […]
David Moyes has some big decisions to make when Everton face Manchester United at the Hill Dickinson this afternoon. Friday’s press conference brought some welcome news on the fitness front, with Christian Nørgaard the only confirmed absentee and no fresh problems reported. The bigger questions concern Everton’s Deadline Day arrivals and how Moyes reshapes his […]
There will be no flags. No banners. No giant tifo. The 1878s have made their decision and, after the way Everton handled the final days of the transfer window, it is entirely understandable. They have done more than most to provide the colour and noise that followed Everton from Goodison to the Hill Dickinson. For […]
Everton return to the Hill Dickinson on Sunday when Manchester United provide the opposition in the final Premier League game before the international break. David Moyes’ side have made a solid start to the season, taking four points from their opening two league games, and Sunday brings another sizeable test. It could also bring a […]
It hasn’t been a quiet Saturday at Everton, even with the transfer window finally closed. Questions surrounding The Friedkin Group have continued, David Moyes’s extraordinary admission about Dan Friedkin has given Evertonians plenty to discuss, and some familiar names have been linked with a possible future takeover battle. But by the end of today, attention […]
