JACK GREALISH PRESSURE: DAVID MOYES NEEDS GOALS AFTER GUEYE RED CARD FAIL
David Moyes calls on Jack Grealish to score more for Everton. Get the full team news as the Toffees face a midfield crisis against Newcastle United. Preview inside.
David Moyes wants more from one of his key players as Everton gets ready to play Newcastle United in the Premier League.
After a memorable 1-0 win away at Manchester United—their first victory at Old Trafford since December 2013—the Toffees play the Magpies at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored the only goal in a match where Idrissa Gana Gueye was sent off for slapping his own teammate, Michael Keane. But thanks to some great work from goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, Everton was able to hold on for the win.
Moyes is asking for more from Jack Grealish.
Grealish was taken off near the end after a quiet game, where he didn't create any chances or take any shots.
Still, Grealish has made Everton better in attack. He's tied for the most assists in the Premier League (4) and is third in chances created (24), with only Jeremy Doku (27) and Bruno Fernandes (31) ahead of him. Despite all that, the England player has only scored one goal since joining Everton on loan from Manchester City.
Moyes is happy with Grealish’s assists, but he wants the winger to score more goals for a team that has only scored 13 times in the Premier League this season.
I think he can get better. I would be lying if I said I was happy. I want him to score more goals. "I need him to score more," Moyes said at his press conference. If he keeps getting assists, then it's OK, but I think goals are more important. We've been really happy with him. He's helped the team a lot.
He's probably played more games this year than he did last year. He's doing well. He's getting better physically, and we want to keep him in the best shape.
Everton team updates for the Newcastle United game
Gueye has been given a three-match ban after being sent off for hitting Keane—Pickford had to pull them apart. Moyes said Everton appealed the ban right away, but the FA rejected it without giving a reason. We appealed the red card, and our appeal was rejected, Moyes said. We weren't told why it was rejected, but we did appeal it.
So, Everton might not have many players in midfield, as Merlin Rohl is out after a hernia operation.
"Yes, we are," Moyes said when asked if Everton needed midfield support. Merlin's operation has left us short, but we have other players who can play there—Charly Alcaraz and Dwight McNeil, if we need to. I think those players can do the job if needed. Merlin probably won't be back until the start of January, and Idrissa's suspension leaves us short in that area.”
Also, veteran defender and captain Seamus Coleman is out with a minor hamstring injury, and Nathan Patterson isn't ready to return after an injury. Jarrad Branthwaite will also be out until mid-January with a hamstring injury.
£35M LOSS: ANALYZING THE COLLAPSE OF HARVEY ELLIOTT'S MANDATORY VILLA TRANSFER
Harvey Elliott's loan to Aston Villa is ending early after just six months. The mandatory £35M purchase clause is now unlikely to be activated.
Harvey Elliott's time at Aston Villa might be cut short. Just six months after joining the club, he might be leaving in January.
The attacking midfielder came from Liverpool on a season-long loan on deadline day in September.
The deal with Villa included a requirement to buy him, plus clauses about selling him later or buying him back.
But, Elliott hasn't played much since joining Villa, even though they won against other teams in the Premier League and Europe to get him.
Unai Emery said that the club is looking at what to do with the 22-year-old before the next transfer window opens next month.
This comes after Elliott didn't travel with the team for their Europa League game against Basel on Thursday.
Emery talked about Elliott's future at Villa in a press conference before a game.
He said, We're talking with him about his situation.
He's not with us. We hope we can find the best solution for him and for us.
I respect him as a player and as a person. He's training well, but there's a situation with him.
Hopefully, we can find a solution for him to play often and continue his career, either with us or somewhere else.
Elliott has played in only five games for Villa since joining, scoring once.
His last game was a short four-minute appearance against Feyenoord in the Europa League in October.
He hasn't been in the squad for any of Villa's last seven Premier League games.
Emery added, I've spoken with him two or three times about the situation.
First, my decision and also the situation. He's on loan with us, but he's not really contributing to us with a permanent contract.
This is a setback for Liverpool.
Liverpool was supposed to get £35 million when Elliott's loan to Villa became a permanent deal.
But the requirement to buy him kicks in only if he plays in 10 games for the club.
So, the Reds will likely miss out on that money this summer since he's only played about half that many games.
If Elliott leaves Villa, he'll likely have to return to Anfield in January.
The former England under-21 player played twice for Liverpool this season before being loaned out.
FIFA rules say players can only play for two clubs in one season.
Elliott could get around this rule by joining a club in a league that runs from summer to winter, like those in the MLS.
BUNDESLIGA STAR: ANALYZING NATHANIEL BROWN'S FIT FOR TOTTENHAM'S DEFENSE
An analytical look at Nathaniel Brown's Bundesliga performance shows why he is a top target for Spurs. Can they beat out three major rivals for the defender?
According to a recent report from journalist Dean Jones, Tottenham Hotspur will have a tough time signing Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown. Spurs will have to compete with Manchester City, West Ham United, Manchester United, and Arsenal to get the German defender next year.
Brown has played well on Frankfurt’s left side this season. The 22-year-old has one goal and four assists in 20 games for the German club in all competitions.
The German player has shown he can defend well, with 30 tackles, 15 blocks, ten interceptions, and 16 clearances in the Bundesliga. He also passes the ball well from the left, with an 81.3% pass success rate in the German top league (stats via fbref.com).
His contract with the German club ends in the summer of 2030, so it won’t be easy for Tottenham to sign him next year.
Should Tottenham Hotspur Manager Thomas Frank Sign Brown?
Brown is a good tackler and times his challenges well to win the ball back. He clears the ball when the other team is attacking and is also a good passer.
The German player can score and assist goals from the left. Brown is mainly a left-back but can also play as a left-sided midfielder if needed. We’ll see if he can handle the Premier League’s physicality and intensity if Spurs sign him next year.
Brown would make Tottenham manager Thomas Frank’s defence better and deeper. He could earn a regular spot in the first team at the North London club in the years ahead.
At 22, Brown could become a star in English soccer if he keeps improving each season. Overall, Frank should sign him in 2026.
