Toffees Linked To Anthony Martial... | Everton News Daily
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
David Moyes expressed his delight with Everton's late draw against Manchester United, secured by a dramatic 95th-minute equalizer from Angely Maitlin Niles at Hillsborough Stadium. Although the manager praised the entertaining nature of the match and the team's resilience in scrambling for a point, he admitted disappointment that they could not secure a victory after taking the lead. The initial goal came from Tyreek George, who scored his first Everton strike with a brilliant header following a clever play by Hayden Hackney, earning him Man of the Match honors from both Sky Sports and the presenter. Moyes highlighted how George's movement to the right flank, alongside Jack Reiss-Hill on the left, stretched United's defense effectively, creating numerous chances and demonstrating a promising partnership that could trouble opponents throughout the season.
The focus then shifted to the remarkable debut of Angely Maitlin Niles, whose stunning long-range goal into the top corner silenced any doubts about his immediate impact. Moyes noted that while he had intended to use James Garner at right-back for a short period before bringing Niles on, Garner suffered a cramp shortly after entering the pitch, forcing an early substitution that ultimately proved fortunate given Niles' world-class finish. The manager emphasized that the atmosphere at Hillsborough was even louder than Goodison Park during this moment, describing it as an unbelievable way to mark a debut. Despite the unfortunate injury scare involving Garner, which caused significant concern among fans and staff, Moyes confirmed that the cramp was minor and Garner should be fully fit soon, offering relief after the tense incident in the center circle.
Looking ahead to the transfer window, reports suggest Everton is interested in signing free agent Anthony Martial from CF Monterrey as a potential addition to their attacking options. Moyes acknowledged that the club is exploring the free transfer market to bolster the final third and provide competition for Tero Barry, noting that Martial's versatility across the front line could help distribute goalscoring responsibilities. While the manager cautioned against expecting one player to solve all problems, he recognized Martial's Premier League experience and age as assets that could benefit the squad. Additionally, there is optimism regarding new signing Christian Norgaard, who is showing signs of recovery from an injury sustained at his previous club and is expected to return to full fitness after the international break, potentially making him available for the upcoming trip to Wembley.
The video concluded with a heartfelt thank you to the community for their support during a charity live stream organized by Toffee TV, which raised over £26,000 for the Kevin Campbell Foundation and Woodlands Hospice in Liverpool. This fundraising effort highlighted the strong connection between the club's supporters and local causes, with many fans expressing gratitude for the transparency and dedication shown throughout the campaign. Despite a difficult deadline day that saw limited new signings, the overall tone remained positive, focusing on the team's progress, the exciting potential of young players like George and Niles, and the unwavering support from the fanbase that continues to drive the club forward both on and off the pitch.

David Moyes said he was delighted with
the point that Everton managed to
scramble late on thanks to Angley
Maitlin Niles tremendous 95th minute
equalizer yesterday at Hill Dickinson
Stadium as Everton played out a
entertaining two- draw with Manchester
United. But the manager did say that he
was disappointed that Everton couldn't
win the game and he felt as though when
the game went to 1-1, the Trophies would
be the team that would go on and win it.
But obviously Benjamin Cesco then scored
and Everton had to chase a last second
equalizer which they got from Angley
Maitlin Niles. David Moyes was full of
praise though for Tyreek George who
scored his first Everton goal with an
absolutely brilliant equalizer, wasn't
it? Great play from Hayden Hackne and it
came out to George who rashed one into
the roof of the net at the south stand.
I mean if you're going to do it, you get
your first one that's the best way to do
it and self sent the south stand into
absolute raptures with a a wonderful
goal. Hopefully there's a lot more to
come from George like that. And that was
when he'd moved over to the right hand
side. I think he had a good game
overall. He got man of the match from
Sky. I give him man of the match as well
in my aftermatch stuff. thought he he
was dangerous all day. Uh and the goal
obviously giving him a big plus there.
And I think we sort of finished the game
with the two wide players that I think
can cause a lot of teams issues this
season. Jack Reish making his uh his
second Editton debut if you like was
over on the left hand side and George
was on the right hand side and that
really did stretch Manchester United.
And I think like I said we can see more
of um of them two together. It'll cause
teams issues. we've just got to make
sure we take the opportunities that they
create. I think ended up with more
dribbles than anyone and chances created
as well. So, he had a really really good
afternoon. Um, the manager also admitted
he was delighted with Angley Maitlin
Niles and said that he hadn't had the
chance really to work with the right
back much. He he only obviously signed
on deadline day. Um, he said we're still
learning about him, but what a great
goal. and talking of Angley Maitlin
Niles, he said he was delighted with his
Everton debut and then said the noise
after his equalizer was louder than
Goodison Park and he said he's
experienced Gooderson Park and how loud
that was on occasions and he said Hill
Dickinson was louder than that. I mean
it was an unbelievable way to mark your
debut, wasn't it? Coming onto the pitch
a little bit earlier. I think David
Moyes had said he was going to try James
Garner at right back for five or 10
minutes before bringing Angley on, but
he was on the pitch due to James Garner
cramping up and um scored an absolute
world. He didn't. The ball rolled out
and he just guided it right into the top
corner again in front of the south stand
which was incredible. And to be in that
ground and he he scored it was uh it was
brilliant and they're the sort of
moments that I think we need to keep
building at Hill Dickens. I think had
that been the winner it would have been
even better of course but they are the
moments that sort of make the place feel
more and more like home and it was an
absolutely brilliant goalie has said
that he's settled in really well already
at Everton and can see that it's a team
who fights for everything um you know
well well put together side and a team
that can definitely achieve something
this season just mentioned James Garner
there because obviously he gone to right
back and was at right back for about a
minute before he went down injured. I
don't think David Moyes's finest moment
in making substitutions that one. But um
everyone was really really worried when
they seen James Garner sitting in the
center circle, you know, having to you
know play the ball out and just had to
sit down on the floor. I think you'd
always fear the worst especially cuz
he's had an injury and missed preseason
didn't he's only just catching games
now. Um, but the manager has revealed
afterwards that it was just cramp and
that he should be fine. So, really good
news there. And David Moyes was also
asked about the fitness of new signing
Christian Norard. The Evertonians
haven't had a chance to see Norard in
blue yet. He signed with an injury David
Moyes comp, but they'd hoped that it it
clear up a little bit quicker than it
has done. He said that hopefully he'll
be available after the international
break that he has just started stepping
it up. There is signs of progress now.
So obviously Christian Nogard will be
working towards full fitness during that
break and um that means hopefully he'll
be available for the trip to whole city
after the break.
And Everton are reportedly interested in
free agent Anthony Martial. That is more
reports over that today. Martial left CF
Montter the Mexican side in tune. He can
play anywhere across the front three
positions. Obviously played a lot of
games in the Premier League for
Manchester United as well. He can also
um you know we would come in and provide
some real competition for Then Barry as
well. He didn't have a great season in
Mexico. Let's not talk this up as if
he's going to solve all of Everton's
problems, but he would be an interesting
one. He is only 31 as well. So I think
Everton do need some help in the the
final third. I think um you know getting
an extra player in taking the load off
Tiero Barry like I said it can also go
out on the left hand side as well. I
think the squad could do with one or two
more right now. So we'll wait and see if
anything comes of it. David Moyes did
say on Friday in the press conference
that Everton were exploring the free
transfer market and Anthony Martial is
one of them. one free transfer who won't
be coming into the football club and
this is being received well by quite a
few tooffees today is Jamie Vardy who
has joined Bentley and finally we just
want to say a big thank you from
everyone here at Toffee TV for the
24hour live stream that we did for
charity raising money for the Kevin
Campbell Foundation and the Woodlands
Hospice here in Liverpool we managed to
raise £22,93461
but after the gift aid Um, total goes to
£26,19217.
So that'll be split between Woodlands
Hospice and the Kevin Campbell
Foundation. So once again, massive thank
you to everybody who donated, everybody
who stayed right the way through with us
and a few of you came up to me after the
match yesterday to say you've done the
whole thing. Absolute lunatics. Um, but
thanks for all the views, all the likes,
all everyone who subscribed, all the
positive comments as well right the way
through. what was in the end a difficult
transfer deadline day again. Um but
yeah, a massive thank you to all of you
who donated. That is it for the Editton
News Daily. Make sure you check out the
final word of me and Ped Everton to
Manchester United too. See you later.
