2025/10/26

Everton's first home loss at Hill Dickinson Stadium came with a hard lesson in margins.

LIVERPOOL 2-1 EVERTON: No Edge at Anfield

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.

Emi Martínez, inevitably, played spoiler with another standout display. On this episode of The Blue Frontier, James, Shan, and Ryan break down the fine

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

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
