Thierno Barry has an interesting profile. Physically, he could deliver a lot of what David Moyes wants from an Everton striker but he is also much more of a ball carrier than Beto. Analysis here with some insight from talking to his old coach in Belgium. skysports.com/football/news/…

A closer look at how Everton have struggled to score from open play for the last two seasons 🔍

"What Everton are...they're a throwback" @Carra23 says Sean Dyche’s side has "dropped off" this season 😮

Jake O’Brien’s route to Everton is fascinating, particularly his title win in Belgium. 🔹 ‘Like we had two players there’ 🔹 ‘Brave as a lion on the ball’ 🔹 ‘Comfortable with space behind’ Enjoyed speaking to his old coaches who clearly adored him. skysports.com/football/news/…

Consistently impressed by the use of data on Sky’s Monday Night Football. Don’t think any other television programme in the UK would spend so long discussing fairly complex graphs. I spent Monday watching them put it all together. ⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/54922…

Thank you to @SportSJA for choosing Monday Night Football as the Television Show of the Year! #SJA2023 #MNF

@nicholaspwright This is great!

In The Radar this week: Man Utd’s inability to defend transitions (not ideal with Liverpool, West Ham, Villa next), underrated Dejan Kulusevski, Roberto De Zerbi’s revolutionary rotation, plus praise for Andoni Iraola #mufc #thfc #bhafc #afcb skysports.com/football/news/…

Everton’s third goal of the night against Newcastle, scored by Beto, came after a 29-pass move. It is the longest pass sequence leading to an Everton goal ever in the Premier League. #EFC

The 10 point deduction for Everton is excessive & not right, considering they have been working with the PL about this for the last couple of years. Would it have been better to be evasive & try & drag it out like other clubs? No doubt relegated clubs will have put big pressure on the PL to deal with Everton, but when you consider 6 clubs tried to leave the PL & there was no sanction at all it doesn’t feel right. Until other clubs are sanctioned Everton will feel they are being used to show there is no need for an independent regulator, and they are right.

Everton’s 2.93 xG v Fulham is more than any side created in a single PL game last season without scoring

Doucoure’s goal his first in PL from outside the box in 6 years - had failed to score with 82 successive shots from outside the box before today’s strike

This year marks the 10th anniversary of @soccerquant's 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞. In this 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 panel, Anderson is joined by @susanaferreras, @carling_chris, @Matt_Cheetham and @Matt_Furniss to reflect on how the application of data has evolved since.

@MattJFootball Congrats mate, great to hear

Something to learn as a new dad - don’t scream in celebration at a goal holding a newborn 😅 #EFC

PL games with a side recording 44+ touches in the box this season: 29 Times that side has failed to score and lost: 1 - Everton (v Aston Villa)

The Dyche effect 👇

The Dyche Effect - most distance covered by Everton in any game all season, and by some margin Onana, McNeil & Doucoure all covering more ground than any Everton players have in a game this season

@greenallefc Nice graphic!

Updated Everton Expected Goal Difference Trends 2020/21 - present. - peep the steep drop under Benitez - Lampard been unable to recover performances on a consistent basis - 12 months later, EFC are performing just as poorly as when RB was sacked - FL's Everton now in free fall
