The Evertonia Podcast: Talking Everton

Paul, Andy and Lyndon look back at Everton's superb effort against Manchester United when they became the first team to win at Old Trafford in the Premier League era having had a man sent off. They review the performance, Idrissa Gueye's red card and discuss what the midfielder's suspension means for the upcoming matches against Newcastle, Bournemouth and Forest

Lyndon and Andy jump on the pod for a chat about the international break and the drama that saw Ireland and Scotland record incredible victories. They ponder Everton's possible transfer strategies in the coming transfer windows as Iliman Ndiaye becomes the focus of mounting transfer speculation before looking ahead to Monday's trip to Old Trafford. They finish up with another instalment of "Chat EFC" where Lyndon's memories of 2004 are embarrassingly murky.

The guys discuss Everton's welcome return to winning ways with the 2-0 win over Fulham at Bramley-Moore Dock thanks to goals by Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane. They reflect on David Moyes's positive team changes and encouraging performances from the likes of Thierno Barry, Tim Iroegbunam and James Garner, plus special mentions for KDH and Keane

A group therapy session as the guys lament two more dropped points, a team performance that fell apart after half na hour and some perplexing decisions from the manager. Where does Monday evening leave Thierno Barry after he was hooked before an hour was played with Beto offering even less as his replacement? What was behind the decision to introduce Dwight McNeil and how should Moyes be better leveraging his squad ahead of a game against Fulham that has now assumed undue pressure?

Andy returns to join Paul, Adam and Lyndon to discuss at length the 3-0 defeat to Spurs and assess where the Toffees are a quarter of the way into the season. They run the rule over certain players and what changes should probably be made ahead of the matches against Sunderland and Fulham as frustration grows at a run of just one win in 7

Lyndon is joined by Adam and Paul to mull over Everton's 2-0 loss at Manchester City, a performance that promised more but ultimately ended with a familiar result at the Etihad Stadium. There is more discussion of the striker problem, with Beto's form a continuing concern while Jarrad Branthwaite's surgery will leave David Moyes short-handed at the back, at least until January

Andy, Paul and Lyndon delve into the weird opinions in the media about Jordan Pickford's status as England's No 1 even while he racks up international records and remains a top performer for Everton. They also discuss whether he tops Neville Southall as the Blues best of the modern era. Finally, they look ahead to the trip to the Etihad Stadium this weekend where Jack Grealish will be missing for the first time this season

The guys dissect a performance that went from fairly ragged and frustrating to determined and then climactic as the Toffees' loan star scored in stoppage time. They discuss whether that was the moment Bramley-Moore Dock took the baton from Goodison in terms being Everton's raucous, bear pit home and dissect another poor first-half showing that bled well into the second period. They touch on the ongoing striker dilemma, whether James Garner is the answer at right-back and the positive statements made to the manager by Charly Alcaraz and Tim Iroegbunam in terms of future selection in the team.
