LIVERPOOL 2-1 EVERTON: No Edge at Anfield

The Blue Frontier - American Everton Analysis ·

2025/09/20

The latest Merseyside Derby at Anfield ended in familiar fashion for Everton: a 2–1 defeat to Liverpool. Ryan Gravenberch’s early volley and Hugo Ékitike’s close-range finish punished a stretched Everton midfield, leaving Jordan Pickford exposed. Yet Idrissa Gana Gueye’s thunderous strike after halftime briefly tilted the momentum, reminding the away end that the Blues still had fight. James, Ryan, and Shan break down where David Moyes’ game plan faltered in the first half, before tweaks at the

2025/09/13

Everton’s winless run against Aston Villa in the Premier League stretched to 13, as the Toffees settled for a 0–0 draw at Hill Dickinson Stadium. On paper it looked like a stalemate, but the match itself told a different story: 20 shots, 46 touches in Villa’s box, and over 2 expected goals: evidence of a side creating plenty, just not finishing it. Emi Martínez, inevitably, played spoiler with another standout display. On this episode of The Blue Frontier, James, Shan, and Ryan break down the fine

2025/09/01

Deadline Day is in the books, and the full TBF trio takes stock of Everton’s summer. James, Ryan, and Shan walk through the full window position by position, testing their own preseason assessments against what actually unfolded. Merlin Röhl’s late arrival from Freiburg, the sale of Youssef Chermiti to Rangers, and the splashy additions of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish headline the discussion - but so do the gaps left untouched at right back and defensive midfield. Along the way, the panel

WOLVES 2-3 EVERTON: Grealish, Garner, and Good Vibes

The Blue Frontier - American Everton Analysis ·

2025/08/30

Everton’s August renaissance rolls on. A 2-3 win away at Wolves makes it three straight victories in all competitions. Almost unbelievably, that means as many league wins in August as the previous four years combined. Beto bullied Wolves’ back line for the opener, Iliman Ndiaye leaned into the banter with a wolf-themed celebration, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall unleashed a bullet on the volley as good as any the Toffees have seen in some time. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Defensive lapses let Hwang

Everton made it ten straight wins in their League Cup openers, seeing off League One Mansfield Town 2–0 at the Hill Dickinson with second-half goals from Charly Alcaraz and Beto. It was more “professional” than thrilling, but hardly short on storylines. On this episode of The Blue Frontier: American Everton Analysis, James, Ryan, and Shan dive into a night of rotation and returns: Vitalii Mykolenko back at left back, Seamus Coleman making his season debut in his 17th year with the club, and teenager

133 years after Goodison Park first opened, Everton christened their new Hill Dickinson Stadium with a 2–0 win over Brighton. The Blue Frontier crew break down a landmark day: goals from Iliman Ndiaye and makeshift left back James Garner, Jack Grealish’s impressive debut in blue, and Jordan Pickford’s penalty save that sealed the occasion. We dig into the tactical wrinkles: N’Jai shifted right, Grealish roaming the left, and Moyes’ new-look 4-2-3-1 holding firm despite Brighton’s pressure. Tyler

2025/08/19

Everton’s Premier League season opener at Elland Road ended in familiar fashion: August defeat, a handball controversy, and a fanbase perhaps already questioning the transfer committee. In the the first post-match recap of the new campaign, James and Shan break down Leeds United 1–0 Everton, by the numbers and by the VIBES. James Garner’s surprise turn at left back, to Beto’s isolation, to Ndiaye battling triple-teams, to Jack Grealish’s anticipated debut, the pod digs into every angle. Was

The conversation covers tactical shifts, including James Garner operating as a deep midfielder, Charlie Alcaraz forced wide, and a promising first look at Adam Aznou. But many of the usual issues remain. The right side of the pitch still looks unsettled, and Beto continues to work in isolation. Off the pitch, Everton becomes the first

Part four of our 2024–25 Team Assessment digs into Everton’s creative conundrum. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s exit all but official, the guys evaluate potential reinforcements up top, headlined by the links to Villarreal striker Tierno Barry. Is he worth the €40M plunge?
