On the save of the season so far and Jordan Pickford doing Jordan Pickford things @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

Jarrad Branthwaite makes a massive difference at centre back. Better Mykolenko when he's next to him. Adds air of assurance and much-needed pace

Some away win for Everton. Handled the physical battle and overcame setbacks. Key displays from likes of Beto & Mykolenko Great noise throughout from the away fans - Jordan Pickford song ringing around St James' Park at full time. He'll have enjoyed that one!

O'Brien, McNeil & Mykolenko in for... Iroegbunam, Keane & Armstrong

Everton's match against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium will now take place on Saturday 14 March, with kick-off at 5.30pm (GMT). The clash has been brought forward due to Arsenal's UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match against Bayer Leverkusen on the following Tuesday.

Temptation to wonder whether Jarrad Branthwaite would have stopped Sesko's winner had he been playing CB Defender told us his season so far had been "very disappointing", but he has quality to make a difference in his favoured position @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

England Women will be playing against Ukraine at Hill Dickinson Stadium in June. This will be the Lionesses' first ever match in Liverpool. #EFC

Thought atmosphere was better last night. Moments in 2nd half, with Everton pushing, when it was as loud as it's been for some time. Fewer grumbles. And telling that response at end was applause Hopefully important building block. Just need a team worthy of the stage...

Everton held talks to sign Senne Lammens in '23 but he did not want to join as No 2 Moyes tested his susceptibility under the high ball last night but found little joy. Tactic may have worked v past MU keepers but not this one #EFC lacked ingenuity/ideas... www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

When was the last complete performance from an Everton midfield? Villa? Moyes has 7 options there but search for balance continues Garner has become more like Gana. Defensive numbers sky high But is there a need for a rethink elsewhere? @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/704...

Youssef Chermiti scored a hat-trick as Rangers beat Hearts 4-2 at Ibrox to reduce the Tynecastle outfit’s advantage at the top of the Scottish Premiership to just two points. Celtic’s 3-2 win against Kilmarnock mean just three points now separate the top three.

Groundhog Day for Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/703...

Jarrad Branthwaite & Tyrique George start for Everton with Michael Keane & Harrison Armstrong dropping to the bench George's first start since joining on loan from Chelsea on deadline day l

Posting on social media this evening, Jack Grealish confirms he has undergone surgery on the stress fracture in his foot "Didn't want the season to end like this," he wrote "The support I've had since coming to this unbelievable club has meant the world to me"

High in the Riverside Stand, Moyes punched the air in celebration. Just 45 mins earlier at HT, he'd had "stern words" for his players After this latest win, Everton are still in the race. But to stay there, some changes may be needed... @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...

One change for Everton: Mykolenko in for Branthwaite who drops to bench New signing George also on the bench

Everton sought views from Tyrique George's coaches/former team-mate KDH before proceeding with a move for the youngster Expectation he will add versatility, more pace & extra goal threat to attack Player motivated to earn permanent deal @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...

The FAB has made proposals to the Club on ticketing, concessions and membership. The full report can be found on our website: efc-fanadvisoryboard.com/fab-makes-pr...

Not all of the McNeil paperwork was completed in time, leading to collapse of the deal. Player had already undergone medical Shock on Merseyside at late twist @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Everton have completed their loan with option move for Chelsea's Tyrique George Only deal of a dramatic deadline day (w/McNeil off)

Deal sheets in for George & McNeil. Message throughout the afternoon + approaching deadline was that all remained on track (re George)

Tyrique George en route this morning for Everton medical after being granted permission to travel by Chelsea Still a chance of a late loan exit from #EFC, with club weighing up Adam Aznou's situation @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Mykolenko's Fri pm training injury "altered everything" re team selection, Moyes said. But he has long considered Branthwaite to be an option at LB More options at his disposal now but still finding a way of fitting all pieces together @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/701...

That's a massive win for Everton Women, especially after going a goal down!

Everton rejected a loan enquiry from Juventus for Beto in the days prior to the 1-1 draw with Brighton Striker came off bench to score 97th min equaliser at the Amex Work also continuing on loan w/option move for Tyrique George @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Moyes said he thinks there is a "chance" Everton bring in someone before the deadline As reported on @theathleticfc.bsky.social yesterday, club exploring loan move for Chelsea's Tyrique George

From these drills, that looks* like O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Branthwaite (R-L) in defence And Armstrong playing to the side of KDH

Branthwaite, Keane & KDH in for Everton. Looks like O'Brien to right-back & a back four of centre-backs

The Amex Stadium for Brighton v Everton Seagull impersonators beware 🟨

Everton have shown interest in a loan deal for Chelsea's Tyrique George. The Merseyside club expect to face significant competition from clubs in England and Europe for the 19-year-old winger, who has made only five starts for Chelsea this season.

Quite like Strand Larsen. Decent PL player & still young enough to improve. But shows how tough striker market is when he's going for potential £50m fee Can see why Everton went with Barry over summer at c.30m

What's behind Everton's poor home form? Recent results have led to some gripes about the new stadium & Goodison nostalgia But Everton's recent results at their former home were patchy too, and there are lessons to learn from their strong away record... www.nytimes.com/athletic/700...
