Everton need a right‑back desperately for the next season. Seamus Coleman is leaving the club after an amazing 17 years service while Nathan Patterson is also expected to leave for Rangers ahead of the next season. Jake O’Brien played at right-back last season but he is a centre‑back. So David Moyes has made signing a […]
Everton’s final home game of the season ended in massive disappointment as the Toffees fell to a 3-1 defeat against Sunderland. Everton from chasing Europe, dropped to 12th place in the Premier League table and any hope of European football certainly went down with the final whistle. Merlin Rohl scored his first Everton goal, putting […]
Everton have been on the wrong end of VAR decisions all season. The Premier League’s Key Match Incidents panel has confirmed three more video assistant referee errors, taking the total this season to 23. Among them is Everton’s penalty claim during the 3-3 draw with Manchester City at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The panel unanimously agreed […]
Nathan Patterson arrived at Everton from Rangers in January 2022 for a fee of £11m. The Scotland international was seen as a long‑term successor to Seamus Coleman at right‑back. However, injuries and limited opportunities have prevented him from living up to expectations. Now, with his contract expiring next summer and no new deal seemingly on […]
Ask any Evertonian how David Moyes can modernise this Everton side, and they’ll likely point straight to the full-back position. While the “new striker” debate dominates social media, the pursuit of two specialised full-backs this summer is an absolute necessity. To evolve beyond mid-table stability, Moyes must fix the “engine room” of his tactical system. […]
Everton have struggled on the right-back position this season, prompting David Moyes to experiment on the position. David Moyes has relied on Jake O’Brien, a natural centre‑back and even used James Garner to fill the position this season. Nathan Patterson has struggled for fitness and consistency. He was unable to force himself into the team […]
Everton’s need for defensive reinforcements is clear. Jarrad Branthwaite has been injury‑prone this season with very limited games, Michael Keane signed a one‑year extension but is not a long‑term solution, and Jake O’Brien is a natural centre‑back who has been used as right‑back cover. If European football is secured next season, squad depth will be […]
Jake O’Brien has flown under the radar for much of this season. Signed frm Lyon in 2024, the Republic of Ireland international made 20 appearances last term. This season, he has stepped up significantly, featuring 34 times, playing 2,891 minutes. While naturally a centre‑back, he has been deployed primarily at right‑back due to Everton’s lack […]

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 […]
