2025/26 Jarrad Branthwaite

Can anyone tell me how the season is going in that parallel universe where this lad has been healthy and started every game this season?

Did we happen to sign a RB there?

Are we top of the table?
 
I have an idea why dont we as Everton fans hound out our best centre back and probably one of the best in Europe out of the club because he has been injured.

Then watch him flourish at a top team in the coming years.

Pathetic some fans

Let’s not do that. He is when not injured our most important footballer.

I am just so un-enamored by our season that I am day-dreaming of one in which he’s kept Keane out of the squad.
 
None of us know what is actually going on with him but the comments about him from Moyes have been a bit concerning.

Not travelling with the rest of the group during the last 10 days is a concern in itself, but then not appearing today after not playing since then suggests something still isn't right. I really hope I'm wrong but it doesn't feel like it's just "managing minutes", I've a horrible feeling something long term still isn't right with him.
 
He played 32 games last season.
35 PL starts in 23/24
28 in 24/25. Fortunately did most of his injuredness in pre-season.
2 starts so far this season with the manager refusing to comment on him after the game.

Not an ideal trajectory for a young player carrying that much weight and who can move at that speed. Non contact injuries.

He’s a fantastic player, regardless of age. If he’d been fit consistently he’d be Englands starting CB, but he probably won’t be near the squad.

If when totting up our CBs for next season we count him as a full player, then it’s Dom all over again. Just assuming he will stop breaking down and ignoring the recent past. If he stays fit, brilliant, amazing. We will win more games. The season after we know we can rely on him. As of this moment, he’s fragile and probably chasing compensatory injuries and niggles around his body.
