The ToffeeWeb Podcast: Talking Everton

Plenty of gallows humour as Adam, Andy and Lyndon reel from Everton's abject display against Arsenal at Goodison Park last Sunday and ponder where it leaves the team ahead of three hugely important Premier League fixtures with an unwanted League Cup tie in between. They also discuss the potential takeover by 777 Partners.

Lyndon, Paul and Ell discuss the incomplete summer transfer business, the saga around Demarai Gray and ponder whether Everton have enough in sheer numbers to get them through to the next window. They also look back at the games at Doncaster and Sheffield United which yielded the team's first goals of the season

The lads laud the signing of Beto from Udinese and express their hopes that he can be the key to Everton's chronic shortage of goals. They look back at the defeat to Wolves, discuss the pros and cons of selling Alex Iwobi, highlight which part of the team needs to be strengthened most urgently next and look ahead to Sheffield United (A)

Ell Bretland returns along with Paul Traill, Adam McCulloch and Lyndon Lloyd to go over a horrible defeat at Villa, the team-selection debates that have been thrown up as a result and the lack of more new, badly-needed signings.

The fellas pick through the season opener against Fulham where Everton somehow failed to score and went down 1-0, ponder whether things will ever click for Neal Maupay, assess the signing of Jack Harrison and then look ahead to Sunday's trip to Villa

Rodger Armstrong joins Andy, Paul and Lyndon as the podcast crew look ahead to the kick-off of Everton's Premier League season as they take on Fulham at Goodison Park. The fellas predict who will be the top goalscorer in the side as well as the Blues' final points tally and where that means they'll will finish come next May.
