The ToffeeWeb Podcast: Talking Everton

The guys are still on Cloud Nine following Everton's tremendous win in the Goodison derby that takes them to the brink of Premier League safety. They give credit to the players who, to a man, gave 100% to get over the line a victory, orchestrated by Sean Dyche and his staff that will live long in the memory.

Andy, Paul, Adam and Lyndon enjoy the rare air of a solid home win for Everton and review the positive response from both the players and the manager to the hammering at Chelsea that led to a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Goodison Park. They also look ahead to the Merseyside derby where Sean Dyche may have change things again and possibly deploy the little-used Youssef Chermiti up front

The guys try and compartmentalise the misery of Monday evening's 6-0 hammering at the hands of Chelsea and try and place it among the pantheon of pathetic Everton performances down the years. They discuss what changes should be made for the massive home game against Nottingham Forest at the weekend and briefly touch on the ongoing takeover saga following the news that 777 Partners have been granted an extension to the deadline by which they needed to repay MSP Sports Capital.

Another day, another points deduction. Andy, Adam and Lyndon discuss the ongoing farce that are Premier League sanctions for PSR breaches and Everton's ugly win over Burnley which was partially negated by the loss of those two additional points following the verdict from the second Independent Commission.They also look ahead to Chelsea (A) next Monday and some of those crucial home games to come that offer the Toffees a chance to save themselves if they can avoid defeat at Luton

The fellas try to make sense of Everton's almost incomprehensibly bad showing at Bournemouth, an equally bad first hour at Newcastle and the contrasting display following that uncharacteristic triple-change by Sean Dyche in the 1-1 draw at St James's Park.They debate whether Sean Dyche should be moved on this summer if the takeover goes through or whether it's a case of "better the devil you know" before looking ahead to the visit of Burnley and who should start in midfield in particular.

Andy Howard reprises his role as quizmaster as Adam McCulloch, Paul Traill and Lyndon Lloyd battle it out to see who has retained more useless information about Everton than the others. Play along at home and see if you can do better!

Lyndon, Adam, Paul and Andy preview Everton's trip to Bournemouth at the weekend. Has the three weeks off helped the players and allowed Sean Dyche and his coaching staff the time they needed to retool, reassess and re-energise the team for the crucial final 10 games of the season?

Lyndon, Paul and Andy discuss Nottingham Forest's controversially low points deduction and how it compares to Everton's treatment by the original independent commission and then the Appeal Board. They discuss the state of the Toffees on the pitch following the defeat to Manchester United and, over the course of an hour's chat, talk themselves around to some optimism around Everton's run-in.

Paul Traill, Andy Howard, Adam McCulloch and Lyndon Lloyd express their shared concern over Everton's lack of goals and inability to put games to bed which is keeping them mired in trouble near the bottom and at the mercy of the next Independent Commission
