There were times in the second half when we looked very good, an excellent shape and we brought the ball forward well and played good football.
Everton put in an excellent performance at Portman Road to secure heir first away win of the season with a fine win over Ipswich Town
Over the last 32 years, the Premier League has become dominated by the Red Cartel. How’s that for a monopoly?
There has been some more clarity regarding The Friedkin Group takeover of Everton released by i News and carried elsewhere, apparently garnered from an article at the Josimar independent website.
It wasn’t pretty to watch and arguably Newcastle should have won that. But we got a result and ground out a valuable point through dogged resilience
Doucoure had a goal ruled out for marginal offside before Goodison Park revelled in Anthony Gordon's penalty miss in this stalemate against Newcastle United
Whilst we’ve been good in spells this season (the points tally is lower than we deserve), we should be better. What would make all the difference? Good full-back play, that’s what.
I thought it was so similar to the 3-2 win over them a couple of years ago; our first half was dreadful but we then came on strong after the break, scored the goals we needed, then shut up shop.
Goodison Park was a pretty discontented place at half-time after a turgid first half but aided by a key sub at the interval, Everton's new "No.10" delivered a decisive brace
Everton are back at Goodison Park to host Crystal Palace in the first of two back-to-back home games that they hope will finally yield a first Premier League win of the season.
The Friedkin Group's millions will be welcomed. But money isn't what Everton need from them the most.
It is only through excellence across all areas of the club that we can hope to be a success by any measure in the future
When the Friedkins take the helm, hopefully later this year, the impending expiration of Kevin Thelwell's contract will be one of the matters in their in-tray. An argument that he has at least laid the foundations on which we can hope to build a better future.
Too many teams are trying to develop the "expansive", possession-based style embodied by Pep Guardiola's Manchester City where there is merit in a more combative, front-foot style that is attacking but not dull to watch
The Texas-based firm have now agreed a deal for Farhad Moshiri's majority stake but what can Evertonians expect from The Friedkin Group's ownership?
Assuming that TFG's concerns over Everton's debts are assuaged and they acquire Moshiri’s shares, then as with their acquisition of Roma, the real work begins.
That last 10 minutes were nerve-wracking to the extreme, so it’s a positive we showed good resilience to hold on.
Quite apart from two more points tossed away, the most disappointing part of the afternoon was that Everton played some really nice stuff at times and should have put a desperately poor Leicester to the sword.
Everton travel to the King Power Stadium this weekend for what is an important fixture despite how early it is in the season but Sean Dyche’s squad continues to be stretched.
We could have and should have won that. But we’re off the mark and have a point. In different circumstances, an away point would be welcome.
A much changed Everton side struggled for large periods of a difficult game against Southampton at Goodison Park before Young saw the 6th Everton penalty saved.
Aston Villa’s recovery from 2-0 down and eventual triumph over Everton felt almost pre-ordained when Ollie Watkins scored. The fragile Blues "went too soon" but still should have been able to salvage something from the contest
They say lightning never strikes twice. Well, it did. Different circumstances, but it felt the same.
Everton achieved the impossible, squandering another 2-goal lead they had built up to shock Aston Villa, only to progressively collapse, with huge opportunities to win the game squandered by Calvert-Lewin
Moyes may cast a shadow, but Evertonians must never lose sight of the fact that they deserve managers of the calibre of Howe and Arteta.
To purchase Everton, Textor has to sell his holding in Crystal Palace, whether held directly or indirectly, and the ownership and control of that club is complex. So significant barriers exist, not all answers are known and in the meantime Everton’s competitive and financial position worsens under Farhad Moshiri.
Given Everton’s extreme cash requirements, it would seem the last thing we require is a purchaser relying on debt, possibly even greater debt than Everton already carry.
There’s no questioning Textor’s desire to majority own and control a Premier League club. Whether he can and the possible reasons for doing so are discussed here
A genuine, albeit injury-prone star, James Rodriguez passed by our Evertonian world more like a fleeting comet — the pandemic ensuring that fans didn't ever get to see him play a competitive game in the flesh. He departed in 2021 having delivered some magical moments nonetheless.
For four decades, the responsibility for keeping the famous Goodison Park playing surface in top-top condition lay with the Storey family
We Blues have had to endure some excruciating results over the years, usually a gut punch of reality just when we dared believe things were on the up. Saturday hit as hard as any, perhaps harder for some, but it's early enough to be corrected if the manager can turn things around
Football is one of the few areas of endeavour where rank mediocrity is richly rewarded.
Everton looked like a different side as Ndiaye and Iroegbunam inspired a tremendous performance that gave them a 2-0 lead with 3 minutes to go. But three tremendous crosses saw three ridiculous goals given up in the last 10 minutes to turn the game on its head.
The Gaffer is, in football parlance, a streaky manager and accepting that as our truth may save you a few sleepless nights over the next few months. The big question then is why? And that's much harder to answer.
Sean Dyche includes the three new summer signings yet to be handed their full Everton debuts in the team to face Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup while Seamus Coleman and James Garner return following injury.
There’s no getting away from it, we were dreadful, and it was a painful watch. Tottenham bossed the midfield with ease and battered our flanks, giving the full-backs a torrid time by stretching the pitch.
Everton’s first away game of the 2024-25 season is a difficult one at Tottenham Hotspur with rookie Roman Dixon getting his debut at right-back
Dan Sharratt shares his Everton story, inspired by his Dad, Rob, who died last year
Sean Dyche has been far from perfect in his time as Everton manager, but he has also done what his predecessors couldn’t by restoring relative stability and unity from the team on the pitch. Replacing Dyche must happen at some point but we have to acknowledge that we simply aren't ready for that yet.
Disappointing result, but it’s one game with 37 more to go. Don’t write us off just yet. It’s a long season and there’s a long way to go.
Everton began their final season at Goodison Park with a lively start against Brighton & Hove Albion but an early goal disallowed was just the beginning of a ridiculous descent into laughable farce with everything going wrong that could.
Stasis will remain the order of the day off the pitch but on it, Everton under Sean Dyche appear well-positioned to at least deliver the kind of mid-table mediocrity fans pined for a year ago following two gruelling battles against relegation
A quick look at the likelier candidates for a possibly outbound Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Danny reports on his day trip to Goodison Park's last pre-season friendly.
Robert Tressell compares the value of current Premier League squads and uses this as an indicator for possible outcomes by the end of the new season
He has indelibly written himself into the pages of Everton history but his legacy stands to be tarnished if he ends up seeing out his contract at Goodison and can't deliver goals or performances this coming season
Locally born, he served both Blue and Red during a long and varied career as a player, coach and manager that took him well beyond Britain's shores.
Danish football writer Toke Møller Theilade provides the low-down on the kind of player Everton have signed from Napoli
It so often felt as though Amadou Onana was playing within himself; as if it was better to save himself for bigger things and higher-profile occasions to come. He will feel he has taken a step up with his switch to Aston Villa while Everton have completed an excellent piece of business
Sam Hoare runs his eye over the Everton squad as it stands this summer, and muses over possible incoming players who could improve it.
