Following Everton’s pulsating 3-3 draw with Manchester City, David Moyes was left with mixed feelings. The Toffees’ boss was unhappy with his team’s first-half performance, happier with their response in the second, but, of course, disappointed to have conceded in injury-time for the third consecutive game. Resilience Everton had just 24% of possession in the […]
A breathless 96+ minutes at the Hill Dickinson ended in heartbreak for Everton, with the points being shared in a game that swung to and fro. A game that looked destined to be a narrow but controlled Manchester City win, courtesy of a first-half stunner from Jeremy Doku, was turned on its head in 13 […]
There’s still work to be done for the Toffees, with four games to resurrect their European charge, but then the focus (for some) will turn to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. For those interested, every single ball kicked can be followed here at ReadWorldCup. With the finals now including Infantino’s dream of 48 teams, there […]
Everton and England defender Jarrad Branthwaite has been ruled out for the rest of the season and also the World Cup following the serious hamstring injury sustained during Sunday’s Merseyside derby. The 23-year-old centre-back, who has been a standout performer for the Toffees since his return from long-term injury, was stretchered off in the 87th […]
There’s no downplaying what awaits at the Hill Dickinson at 2pm on Sunday. It will, almost regardless of outcome, be a special day for Everton FC, although it goes without saying that a win would make it doubly special. Many thought the atmosphere at the Chelsea game, when the Toffees won 3-0, was the best […]
And it started off with such promise. It was on July 9, 2025, when Thierno Barry was introduced to the world as an Everton player. We thought, or at least hoped, he was the answer. Since the departure of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, an out-and-out number 9, has been missing from the Everton armoury. Beto threatened to […]
With just six games to go in 2025/26, Everton skipper James Tarkowski has challenged his teammates to give it one final push and make the club’s European dream become a reality. In an interview with Everton’s official club media following the 2-2 draw against Brentford, Tarkowski made clear what he expects for the rest of […]
Following the Toffees’ 2-2 draw with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium this afternoon, David Moyes spoke glowingly of his team’s defensive grit and the growing momentum in their quest for Europe. Thanks to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s 91st-minute leveller, the draw extended Everton’s good run of form in 2026 and edges them closer to the European […]
The sight of Jack Grealish in an Everton shirt felt right from the word go. It even looked right. He even had his own Everton look: hair in a tight bun rather than at the mercy of an ‘Alice band’. From the moment he first arrived on Merseyside, there was a sense that player and […]
The Friedkin Group are not messing about. Neither is David Moyes. With Europe a real possibility for 2026-27, Everton now appear to be shopping in a different aisle from before. According to South American outlet Bolavip, Everton have made contact with the representatives of Flaco Lopez and his club Palmeiras to sound out the availability […]
In an exclusive interview with thebullensview podcast, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall offered a fascinating inside look at his ‘rebirth’ at Everton under the auspices of David Moyes. The 27-year-old midfielder was in relaxed mode as he opened up about the tactical freedom he’s been afforded at the Hill Dickinson. He also spoke of his growing bond with […]
Everton are reportedly on alert following the breaking news that John Stones is not expected to be offered a new contract by Manchester City.
