Photo by Nigel French/PA Images via The Blues desperately needed a win, and got one in style away from Goodison Live Blog 90+7’ - Fulltime! Everton get their first victory of the season and incredibly it’s away from Goodison too! A huge win for the Blues, does this set their course for the rest of the season in a positive direction? 90+6’ - Another brilliant tackle from Branthwaite, comes across and takes the ball away from sub Olakigbe, who was offside anyway so that won’t get added to his stats. 90+4’ - Brentford are certainly seeing plenty of the ball,...

Photo by Nigel French/PA Images via The Blues desperately need a win Live Blog 86’ - The Blues are defending solidly now with confidence, and hunting for their fourth off the counter. Now Danjuma strides forward centrally with the ball, but a quite brilliant tackle from Jensen nicks the ball off him near the box. 80’ - Mbeumo shot but well taken by Pickford. 78’ - Another change for the Blues, and looks like Dyche does want to improve the Blues goal difference. Arnaut Danjuma is on for Onana. 76’ - Mbeumo booked after he harries McNeil clear across the...

Photo by Nigel French/PA Images via The Blues desperately need a win Live Blog 52’ - McNeil gets to a ball running into the left channel, shoots but it’s tame and straight at the goalie. 47’ - Deep diagonal for the Bees well cut out by a diving Young. 46’ - Second half underway. Halftime Thoughts - Make no mistake, this is a winnable game for Everton. Brentford are there for the taking, the Blues just need to be more ruthless with their chances. Do they have the fight in them? 45+3’ - There’s the halftime...

Photo by Nigel French/PA Images via The Blues desperately need a win Live Blog Halftime Thoughts - Make no mistake, this is a winnable game for Everton. Brentford are there for the taking, the Blues just need to be more ruthless with their chances. Do they have the fight in them? 45+3’ - There’s the halftime whistle. Everton are drawing 1-1 away at Brentford. 45+2’ - Bees chance, ball into the box but Wissa goes down too easily with Branthwaite right behind him. Not a penalty, not even close. 45’ - Another opportunity spurned. Idrissa Gueye counters, plays a...

Photo by Nigel French/PA Images via The Blues desperately need a win Live Blog 37’ - Ooh, chance again! Young plays in a great ball for Beto to run behind onto, he chips past the advancing Flekken but the ball bounces tamely wide. So close. So many good scoring chances. 29’ - Brentford score. Blues lose the ball in the middle, a fortunate bounce finds Wissa and Jarrad Branthwaite cannot clear properly, comes back to Mathias Jensen, his shot is parried by Jordan Pickford (past Tarkowski) and against the far post.. and in. A couple of players switched off for a...

Photo by Nigel French/PA Images via The Blues desperately need a win Live Blog 21’ - Vitalii Mykolenko makes a run, gets a fortunate bounce back from a defender and has a shooting chance from the edge of the box, but it’s his weaker right foot and the goalie can gather easily. 16’ - A freekick for the Blues in the opposing half. McNeil passes sideways to Garner, he puts it into the box but Amadou Onana’s header is wide. 13’ - Chance! McNeil jinks into space down the left, heads towards the goal and his shot is just wide of the far post. 10’ - Everton...

Photo by Nigel French/PA Images via The Blues desperately need a win Live Blog 2’ - Freekick from a dangerous position, Mbeump curves it around the wall but well-wide. 1’ - Here we go! Dwight McNeil gets us underway. Beto almost away but takes his eye off the ball and it’s stolen. Bees counter quickly and Lewis-Potter streaking away, pulled down by the hapless Ashley Young who is straight in the book. Pathetic really how little pace he has left the veteran. A change for the Bees as Kevin Schade is hurt during warmups and replaced in the forward line by Keane...

Dwight McNeil scores the winner at Goodison last time the two sides met | Photo by Emma Simpson/Everton FC via Dyche must show more appetite to get the Toffees attacking after last weekend’s damp squib It’s been an undeniably grim start to the new season for Everton. Following last term’s battle to stay in the top flight - which went right down to the wire - the club sits in the relegation zone with five league games played, something which is becoming depressingly familiar. The team has enjoyed a relatively kind start to the campaign also, in terms of opposition...

Photo by Nigel French/PA Images via The Blues desperately need a win Preview Which Everton will show up in London? The resolute defending bunch that have done just about everything but score? Or the disinterested lot that ambled their way around the pitch at Villa Park then Goodison Park last weekend? Brentford have had a difficult start to their season, compared to how they lit up the league last season. Life without Ivan Toney has not been the same for the Bees, but Thomas Frank remains a wily manager who knows how to get the best out of his side who have a...

Photo by Stu Forster/ Can the Blues pick up a first win of the season away at Brentford? Four games, one point. Everton need a win. Everton finally had a proper striker on the pitch against Arsenal last week… but looked more toothless than ever. The heat is starting to turn up on Mr Dyche, so how will he line up the Blues in order to relieve some of the pressure? Who’s Out? No new team news ahead of this. That leaves just Seamus Coleman, Dele and Jack Harrison unavailable, with the latter ‘not quite’ ready according to Dyche. Although it seems likely his time...

Jack Harrison showing his class | Photo by Tony McArdle/Everton FC via Some positive signs for Tait’s team On Friday evening at the Walton Hall Park stadium (Everton Women’s ground) the Under 21s team, after some unfortunate results, were clearly in need of a lift. Before kick-off Paul Tait may have been forgiven for thinking Christmas had come three months early as he was given the gift of a lively Jack Harrison to lift his team. The opposition was a strong Norwich City team on a blustery night half a mile away from Goodison Park. To say the impact of having the...
Royal Blue Mersey Sep 22, 2023
Photo by Marc Atkins/ The Toffees badly need a positive performance and result as they take on the Bees Uncertainty and confusion may reign off the pitch at Everton football club, but on it their task is crystal clear – points, and fast. Last weekend’s drab defeat to Arsenal made it five games without a win to start the campaign, with just the solitary point leaving the club in the Premier League relegation zone. If you told fans before the game that Everton would lose 1-0, most would have understood. Arsenal are a very good side destined to challenge at the top of...

Photo by Tony McArdle/Everton FC via Sean Dyche discusses the potential squad ahead of the trip to the Bees this weekend After the tepid display last week in front of the home crowd at Goodison Park, there is a glimmer of hope that the creativity that Jack Harrison brings to the team may soon be seen in Everton blue. “Not to start. He’s back on the grass, he’s had quite a long-term situation – he’s going very well I must say, he’s very clear-minded – and his fitness looks good but no, he’s not ready to go yet. We’ve just got to delay him a little...
