For the second straight season, Everton crash out of the Carabao Cup in the third round, this time a 2-0 defeat to bottom-placed Wolves at Molineux. James and Ryan pick apart David Moyes' heavily rotated XI that left fans scratching their heads: Seamus Coleman starting at left back, Dwight McNeil miscast yet again, and summer signings Charly Alcaraz and Tyler Dibling yanked before they could properly settle.

The duo dive into the key turning points: James Garner rattling the bar with Everton's best chance, Wolves punishing a midfield that never quite clicked, and a defensive unit that looked overly cautious. What does Moyes' refusal to trust Aznou say about the left-back situation? And did too much rotation kill a cup run before it even started?

With listener comments spotlighting frustration over effort levels and tactical rigidity, this episode weighs the fallout for squad players who failed to impress. Plus: standout performers (spoiler: Garner again), the curious case of McNeil, and what this loss means ahead of West Ham and a tricky Premier League stretch.
