Everton have come on leaps and bounds since David Moyes replaced Sean Dyche in the dugout.

The Premier League’s the place for Bramley Moore next season, with Moyes strengthening the tenuous grip his predecessor’s demise had left at Everton.

So many players have found a new lease of life with the Scotsman at the helm, nearly 12 years after parting with his Goodison Park dynasty to take a role as Sir Alex Ferguson’s heir at Manchester United.

However, some have showcased their lofty talent from the get-go. Jarrad Branthwaite’s one of them.

That’s not actually true. Branthwaite was absent across Everton’s opening five top-flight fixtures of the term. It’s no surprise his unavailability covered the wretched four-game losing run that perhaps condemned Dyche from the term’s offing.

Everton have only fallen to four defeats across the 20 matches the Englishman has started in 2024/25, so strong and sturdy, such an “immense” centre-back, in the words of The Athletic’s Patrick Boyland.

Unfortunately, this Englishman was snubbed by Thomas Tuchel as the former Chelsea manager named his first Three Lions squad.

Toffees from all around have been left questioning why.

Jarrad Branthwaite's England exclusion

It was a star-studded list of miss-outs. Tuchel could only pick so many, and England do have an overload of quality. However, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more compelling case for inclusion than Branthwaite’s.

Harry Maguire was unfortunate not to be on the list due to injury, for he is a seasoned international and the world’s record defender besides. However, he’s ebbed away from his best football this season. Liverpool’s Jarell Quansah has been a bit-part player under Arne Slot.

Branthwaite, however, has indeed been one of the division’s standout centre-backs for the second season running, perhaps not showcasing the silky passing range that other top defenders boast, but Everton’s counter-attacking style highlights how such skills are placed on the shelf for those in the 22-year-old’s position.

His time will come. Sir Gareth Southgate had already named Branthwaite in his senior squad one year ago and Manchester United’s vested interest last summer makes for further evidence he is destined for regular inclusion in the Three Lions set-up.

Everton even rejected United’s offers last year by responding with demands of a £75m payment. This saw the saga fizzle out, sure, but given the towering talent was signed from League Two side Carlisle United for just £1m back in January 2020, this is quite the rise.

It’s one of the best signings the club have made in an age. Here’s to more in the future now Moyes is pulling the strings. Everton’s transfer dealings have left plenty to be desired in recent years, but there’s little question that one of the finest in many, many years was made last summer.

Everton's best signing since Branthwaite

Plenty of work needs to be done in the transfer market this summer, but Moyes has already breathed life back into this team and with players such as Branthwaite in the mix, there’s every chance the Merseysiders will continue to go from strength to strength.

However, Branthwaite’s not the only one, with Iliman Ndiaye also thriving throughout the entirety of the campaign. His brilliance predates Moyes’ arrival, and he might just mark the best bit of business Everton have completed in a long while.

Under Farhad Moshiri, with Dyche at the helm, Everton signed Ndiaye from Marseille for a £15m fee last July, expecting to land a talented ball carrier who would add a bit of impetus to the attacking roster.

But he’s gone above and beyond, driving forward with menace, yes, but also demonstrating remarkable technical skill and crispness with the ball. Sky Sports’ Jamie Redknapp has hailed his “dynamite” quality.

With eight goals from 28 matches in all competitions (six in the Premier League) Ndiaye is Everton’s top scorer this season. He’s also bagged three in five under Moyes’ wing, the last of those matches lasting less than half an hour as he was cruelly injured in last month’s Merseyside derby.

As per FBref, he actually ranks among the top 16% of Premier League attacking midfielders and wingers for pass completion, the top 7% for successful take-ons, the top 1% for ball recoveries and the top 14% for tackles + interceptions per 90.

This is a player. Everything suggests Ndiaye has what it takes to become a superstar for Everton as they move to Bramley Moore,

The signing fee was considered shrewd at the time, but in a year or two (if not already), Everton fans could look back at the deal as nothing short of a bona fide success.

Analyst Ben Mattinson has remarked that he’s an utterly “relentless forward” who could earn his keep as a “regular squad player in every Prem team.” He probably has a point.

Both Branthwaite and Ndiaye have enough quality and confidence to play instrumental parts in Everton’s journey over the coming years, however high they may reach.

Ndiaye’s injury absence has come at a frustrating time, sitting sidelined as Moyes’ project takes off.

However, he scored in all three of the Scotsman’s opening victories and is sure to be among the standouts next season, right beside Branthwaite.

أعلن الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم “يويفا” تأجيل قراره بشأن مشاركة كريستال بالاس في الدوري الأوروبي لموسم 2025/2026، بسبب تعقيدات تتعلق بملكية مشتركة مع نادي ليون.

وكان بالاس قد ضمن مقعدًا أوروبيًا بعد فوزه بلقب كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي على حساب مانشستر سيتي، لكنه دخل دائرة الشك بسبب امتلاك جون تكستور حصصًا في الناديين معًا.

ويمنع “يويفا” مشاركة ناديين يملكهما نفس الشخص في نفس البطولة، ما استدعى مراجعة لوائح الملكية المشتركة قبل اتخاذ القرار النهائي بشأن أهلية الناديين.

ليون، الذي تأهل أيضًا لبطولة الدوري الأوروبي، بات مهددًا بالاستبعاد بعد صدور قرار بهبوطه إلى الدرجة الثانية الفرنسية، لأسباب مالية، وهو القرار الذي تم الطعن عليه من النادي.

وأكد يويفا أن ليون توصل إلى تسوية تقضي بخروجه من البطولات القارية في حال تأكيد هبوطه، ما قد يفتح الباب أمام كريستال بالاس للمشاركة الأوروبية رسميًا.

تكستور وافق على بيع حصته في كريستال بالاس للملياردير الأمريكي وودي جونسون، كما استقال من مناصبه في ليون، لتقليل تضارب المصالح قبل قرار يويفا.

بحسب المادة الخامسة من لوائح “يويفا”، يُحظر امتلاك أو التأثير على أكثر من نادٍ يشارك في نفس البطولة القارية، ما قد يضع أحد الناديين خارج المسابقة.

حتى اللحظة، لم يصدر أي قرار رسمي، بينما يترقب كريستال بالاس مصيره الأوروبي وسط تطورات معقدة، ويُتوقع صدور الحكم النهائي خلال الأسابيع القليلة المقبلة.

Wayne Madsen, Luis Reece looked to have set up Falcons for a bumper total with 112-run stand

ECB Reporters Network26-May-2023

Joe Clarke blasted 68 from 29 balls on his 27th birthday before Matthew Montgomery revealed more evidence of why Nottinghamshire rate him so highly with a high-quality 51 as the Outlaws launched their Vitality Blast season with a four-wicket victory over neighbours Derbyshire Falcons.South Africa-born Montgomery, who made 177 against Essex in the LV= Insurance County Championship last week, was making his county debut in the 20-over format and took to it impressively as the Outlaws eased home with 18 balls to spare despite Zak Chappell’s 2 for 29 against his former team and George Scrimshaw taking three late wickets in five balls.Half-centuries by Wayne Madsen and Luis Reece in a second-wicket stand worth 112 in under 10 overs had seemed to set up the Falcons for a bumper total as they sought to win at Trent Bridge for the first time in 10 years but the Outlaws fought back well to restrict them to 178 for 6.There were debut wickets for quicks Shaheen Shah Afridi and Conor McKerr – on loan from Surrey with three senior Outlaws bowlers out injured – while skipper Steven Mullaney took 2 for 37.The Falcons lost Pakistan batter Haider Ali to ex-Derbyshire quick McKerr’s first legitimate ball in an Outlaws shirt when a loose drive saw him caught at third but with Madsen smashing 36 from his first 18 balls it turned into a decent powerplay for the visitors, who were 56 for 1 after six having elected to bat first.Madsen looked in superb touch from the start, following three consecutive fours against the off-spin of Matt Carter – also celebrating his 27th birthday – with a couple off Samit Patel’s left-arm spin before bringing McKerr back down to earth with an effortless pick-up for the night’s first six.Reece caught the mood, despatching Patel and Mullaney over the ropes with the Outlaws unable to find a way to stem the runs as Madsen’s ninth four took him to a 26-ball half-century and the Falcons reached halfway at 102 for 1.The two took a six each off Mullaney but when Madsen slapped the last ball of the same over into the hands of extra cover it sparked an Outlaws fightback that saw Reece hole out to long-off – a wicket on Blast debut for Montgomery – and Luis du Plooy bowled behind his legs as 118 for 1 became 134 for 4.Tom Moores, in his first action for six weeks after breaking a finger, pulled off a sharp stumping to remove Anuj Dal and Afridi claimed his first Outlaws scalp as Aneurin Donald missed an attempted ramp, the second half of the innings going in favour of the home side, with 76 runs added for five wickets lost.Needing nine per over, the Outlaws raced to 78 for 1 from the powerplay, 26 off them in a single over of Mark Watt’s left-arm spin as Clarke smashed five fours and a six, completing a 23-ball half-century along the way, Alex Hales – wearing number three on his back after Afridi claimed his regular 10 – the solitary casualty as he skied Chappell to backward point.The home side’s progress was checked when Clarke was pinned leg before by a Chappell yorker that avenged a huge hit over long-off earlier in the over, but Montgomery joined another debutant – the New Zealand international Colin Munro – in adding 60 in 34 balls for the third wicket to bring the requirement down to 32 in 45 balls.Munro fell when he scooped Zaman Khan to long leg, Montgomery departing in similar fashion after hitting six fours and a six in his 29-ball innings as Scrimshaw gained some consolation for an otherwise expensive evening by taking three wickets in the same over as Mullaney and Moores were dismissed before Samit Patel scrambled the winning runs.

Faltou eficiência ao Botafogo no empate sem gols diante do Atlético-GO. O time teve muita dificuldade na criação no primeiro tempo, mas mesmo com um a menos acabou finalizando mais e tendo um melhor rendimento na etapa final. Luís Castro analisou a atuação da equipe e ressaltou que faltou mais qualidade nas finalizações para sair de campo com os três pontos.

– O Botafogo jogou melhor na segunda parte do que na primeira, dados estatísticos não deixam mentir, são fatos. Estivemos estáveis, não deixamos o Atlético criar quando estava com 11 contra 10. Tivemos muitas situações de bola parada, a do Matheus (Nascimento), estivemos perto do gol em situações com dez. Penso que estivemos bem na segunda parte e não estivemos tão bem no primeiro – disse, e acrescentou:

– Fomos à procura de refrescar o ataque, o Victor Sá esteve parado por muito tempo. Lançar jogador novo no corredor era importante, assim como buscar novas dinâmicas no meio. Matheus liga mais, Erison procura mais a profundidade e contatos físicos. É forte quando consegue fazer. As 14 finalizações não são um número baixo, cinco no alvo contra duas do Atlético-GO também é um número bom. Faltou realmente finalizarmos mais e criamos mais do que criamos. Faltou mais qualidade nas nossas finalizações – completou.

No segundo tempo, após um erro de Jeffinho, Philipe Sampaio fez um falta para conter o contra-ataque e acabou sendo expulso com o segundo amarelo. De acordo com a visão do comandante português, a expulsão foi justa.

– Temos soluções para a zona central da defesa. Não temos o Carli (lesionado). Tínhamos o Kanu, o Adryelson, o Mezenga no Sub-23, o Cuesta. temos soluções. Foi uma imprudência que ele cometeu. O segundo amarelo foi uma imprudência clara e a árbitra não podia fazer outra coisa além de expulsá-lo, já que ele tinha amarelo – frisou.

Seamer carries on T20 Finals Day form with eight wickets for the match at Northants

ECB Reporters Network21-Jul-2023

Somerset 351 (Dickson 70, Bartlett 55, White 5-77) and 56 for 1 (Lammonby 30*) beat Northamptonshire 180 (Vasconcelos 78, Overton 4-50, Henry 3-36) and 224 (Procter 87*, Henry 5-73) f/o by nine wicketsMatt Henry followed his T20 Finals Day heroics with five wickets to set up a nine-wicket victory for Somerset over Northamptonshire on day three of this LV= Insurance County Championship match at Wantage Road.Henry, player of the match in Saturday’s Vitality Blast triumph, continued to prosper with red ball in hand, finishing with figures of 5 for 73 and eight in the match.Northamptonshire had resumed still 20 behind and six wickets down after following on the previous afternoon. They finished on 224 thanks to skipper Luke Procter’s highest score of the season. But while his battling undefeated 87 off 128 balls with 13 fours ensured Somerset needed to bat again, it was not enough to set the visitors a challenging target.Somerset duly knocked off the 54 runs required inside 11 overs before lunch to continue their winning ways, with Tom Lammonby powering six boundaries in an undefeated innings of 30.Earlier, Procter and Tom Taylor (32) extended their seventh-wicket partnership to 53 before Henry trapped Taylor lbw to claim his fourth wicket of the innings.With Australian overseas batter Sam Whiteman absent following the birth of his daughter last night, Northamptonshire were effectively eight wickets down and only six runs ahead. Procter, the last recognised batter, had already reached his half-century off 94 balls and, joined by Ben Sanderson, decided to take the offensive option against Henry and Craig Overton.He quickly switched from rearguard mode into Bazball territory, hooking and powering balls through midwicket and mid-on. He played an audacious upper cut over the keeper’s head off Overton, as well as playing some perfectly timed late cuts behind square.Sanderson also played some expansive shots before he chipped a Henry delivery back to the bowler, the Kiwi taking a tumbling return catch to claim his fifth wicket.Jack White supported Procter for a while but became Overton’s third wicket when he pushed at a ball on off-stump and Tom Abell pouched the catch at first slip.When Somerset began the chase, Lammonby drove Sanderson’s second delivery down the ground for four, but he was dropped at third slip when he offered a difficult chance later in the over.Sean Dickson drove White firmly through the covers for four but did not add any more to his total thanks to a lazy push outside off to a ball from Sanderson, keeper Lewis McManus taking a tumbling catch.Abell took consecutive boundaries off White before Lammonby sealed the win by smashing Sanderson down the ground for four.

India offspinner available for four games, starting with Essex at Chelmsford

ESPNcricinfo staff01-Sep-2023

Jayant Yadav, the India offspinner, has joined Middlesex on a short-term deal for the last four LV= Insurance County Championship matches of the season.Yadav, 33, has taken 16 wickets at 29.06 in six Test matches for his country, the most recent of which came against Sri Lanka in March 2022. His best figures, 4 for 49, were against New Zealand in December 2021, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.However, his stand-out performance in Test cricket arguably came on England’s Test tour of 2016-17, where he made his highest score of 104, batting at No.9 in the fourth Test at Delhi and adding 241 with the then-captain, Virat Kohli, in an innings victory.”I am honoured and excited to join the prestigious Middlesex County Cricket Club for the upcoming Championship games and be a part of its rich cricketing history,” Yadav said in a club statement.”I enjoyed my experience of playing county cricket last year,” he added, having played two matches for Warwickshire in their Championship run-in in 2022, “and am eagerly looking forward to the new stint with Middlesex and contributing to the club’s success.”Yadav’s first outing is set to be against Championship challengers Essex at Chelmsford next week, prior to contests against Lancashire, Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire. In his first-class career to date he has taken 205 wickets, with best bowling figures of 7 for 58 for Haryana in the Ranji Trophy in 2019-20.Middlesex’s Director of Cricket, Alan Coleman, said: “With Pieter Malan returning home to South Africa, we wanted to bolster the squad with another quality signing ahead of four crucial matches that lay ahead of us in September.”We feel that spin will be an important factor in September and the opportunity to sign an international spinner of Jayant’s quality was too good an opportunity to turn down.”He brings us that extra bit of something you get from an international cricketer, experience, quality, know how – all attributes that will prove hugely valuable to us in the coming games.”We can’t wait to have him with us and wish him every success here over the coming month.”
