The panel starts with the "final word" on Tuesday night’s 2-1 collapse against Bournemouth. After leading through an Iliman Ndiaye penalty, how did the Blues allow the game to slip away in just four minutes? The lads discuss the costly misses from Thierno Barry and the late red card for Jake O’Brien that summed up a miserable night at the waterfront. Also on the agenda: Everton’s January Transfer Strategy. With the transfer window closed and only Tyrique George arriving on loan, the trio explores Everton’s strategy. Was the lack of signings a calculated risk or a missed opportunity that will haunt the club’s European ambitions? The lads turn to home form in a broader sense: Why has Hill Dickinson Stadium become so hospitable to visitors? We look into the alarming home form and the growing concerns regarding the atmosphere, debating whether it’s the stadium design, the scheduling, or simply the performances on the pitch. And finally, David Moyes is back under the microscope. Is he being stubborn or systematic? The panel questions his recent team selections—specifically the persistence of playing players out of positions when other options are available.

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee Join Ian Croll, Joe Thomas, and Gav Buckland as the Royal Blue Podcast turns its attention to a crucial Saturday afternoon trip to Craven Cottage. Everton arrive in West London as one of the Premier League’s most resilient sides, currently unbeaten in four league games and having suffered just one defeat in their last seven.

With the loan signing of Tyrique George from Chelsea officially in the building, the big question remains: will David Moyes hand the 19-year-old an immediate debut on the banks of the Thames?
