The Blue Room - Everton FC Podcast

LISTEN IN FULL: https://tinyurl.com/3bv5288n After the worst week so far at Hill Dickinson Stadium, Matt is joined by Adam and Foxy to assess the damage. What approach to Everton take in the transfer window after being dumped out of the FA Cup? And what will that mean for Barry and Beto? The fourth-kit fiasco is also slammed - well, at least by two of us - and we moan about VAR after the latest shambles in the League Cup. 🤝 NORD VPN DEAL Get our black Friday exclusive deal: Big savings + 4 months extra: https://nordvpn.com/blueroom ➕ BLUE ROOM EXTRA Get exclusive content and all of our podcasts ad-free when you sign up to Blue Room Extra: https://tinyurl.com/yc83x2zh 📩 EMAIL Get in touch with Matt and Paddy for questions, comments and enquires at evertonbyline@gmail.com 📸 LAURA GATES PHOTOGRAPHY Get a discount when using code ‘TBR25’ at checkout Learn more about your ad choices.

With Paddy still absent - last spotted in a Noosa drinking spot - Matt is joined by the Liverpool Echo’s Everton correspondent Joe Thomas this week. We assess where the defeat to Sunderland leaves the team. Keep powder dry for the summer? Or chips in in the transfer market in the race for a European place? The new fourth kit is also on the agenda. Should Everton play in anything other than royal blue at home?

What could have been a memorable week of football that saw Everton move up the table and progress in the FA Cup has turned out to be a disaster. On the pitch, the team looks devoid of ideas and players lack confidence, and the manager is once again dampening expectations. Off the pitch, some fans are struggling to adapt to the new surroundings, and the club released a navy and pink that will only be synonymous with another early FA Cup exit. The timing of the (let's face it, needless) fourth kit couldn't have been worse, given comments from Tom Beahon, co-founder of Castore, who last week said: "We live in a capitalist society [not entirely true], if people couldn't afford it, those prices wouldn't be charged." Les and Dave go in on all that and those horrific penalties. We'd love to know your thoughts on it all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What went so wrong against Brentford in the 4-2 defeat? And why have Everton already suffered three heavy defeats at Hill Dickinson Stadium against mid table teams?

Les and Dave pick through another woeful home defeat for Everton. Once again, Moyes has needlessly changed a winning team, and it's seen Everton slump to a third heavy defeat at home to mid-table opposition. Is it down to the manager? Should he be doing better against teams around Everton, even with limited resources? And can he put it right ahead of a huge week of league and cup games? Learn more about your ad choices.

Matt and Paddy look at the future of Dwight McNeil after his return to the starting XI on Saturday night. There are reports that Sean Dyche is keen to sign the out-of-favour winger, but can Everton afford to let him or go? Or is there no way they can turn down a decent offer? Harrison Armstrong’s future could be impacted by any approach. David Moyes seems to be softening in his stance on a potential recall in January. We start the show with an anniversary though. It’s been a year since the Friedkin Group took full control of the Blues. What has gone well and what could be better from their first year? 🤝 NORD VPN DEAL  Get our black Friday exclusive deal: Big savings + 4 months extra: https://nordvpn.com/blueroom  ➕ BLUE ROOM EXTRA  Get exclusive content and all of our podcasts ad-free when you sign up to Blue Room Extra: https://tinyurl.com/yc83x2zh  📩 EMAIL  Get in touch with Matt and Paddy for questions, comments and enquires at evertonbyline@gmail.com  📸 LAURA GATES PHOTOGRAPHY  Get a discount when using code ‘TBR25’ at checkout Learn more about your ad choices.

Ending three hexes in three weeks wasn’t doable for Everton. Stamford Bridge remains the least happiest of all their Premier League hunting grounds. Matt and Paddy assess some of the collateral damage from that defeat. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish have picked up injuries at the worst possible time for the Toffees, with Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gueye now off to Africa Cup of the Nations. We take a closer look at Tyler Dibling’s peculiar situation ahead of what will be a big month for him and look at James Garner’s contract situation after he and Moyes played down rumours an agreement was imminent.
