The third act of Roberto Martinez's Everton story, as demanded by the listeners, begins in the summer of 2015, as the Blues embark on a chaotic Capital One Cup run. Off the pitch, everyone at the club is affected by the untimely passing of Howard Kendall, the greatest Evertonian of all. On it, the team plays some genuinely exciting attacking football at times, but still can't string two wins together. All that and more from the podcast that knows the real reason Tim Vickery went to South America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Les and Dave argue over whether a new 15-goal-a-season striker or two full backs would have the most impact at Everton, in between reflecting on what went right and what went wrong against City.

Matt, Mick and Dave look back at the big moments from the draw with Man City on Monday. What were Everton playing at for City's second goal? And what were the officials looking at when Bernardo Silva dragged down Merlin Rohl. There were positives too. Rohl was rampant down the right and Iroegbunam was gargantuan in midfield in the second half. What can they offer at this late point in the season? Learn more about your ad choices.

These things come in threes…for a third consecutive game Everton let points slip in injury time. Matt and Paddy assess the reasons for the late collapse against Manchester City. Lack of focus? Lack of capable officiating? Lack of clinical play on the counter? Paddy spoke to the excellent Merlin Rohl after the game and gives us an insight into that chat. There’s also a look ahead to the summer transfer window, as the rumour mill starts to ramp up again. 🏃 SPONSOR MATT Matt is running the London Marathon next month to raise money for the Kevin Campbell Foundation: https://t.co/p698UvxHW1 🤝 NORD VPN DEAL Get our 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.

Another great weekend for VAR – Salah's dodgy penalty, Calvert-Lewin escaping red for a hair pull, and two incidents in Everton’s game at West Ham – Jordan Pickford should have been given a red card on review, and Everton should have had a penalty.We were sold a vision of minimal mistakes and no more post-match chats about how our team was robbed by a refereeing mistake. Yet we're still having those same conversations, and we can't put it down to the officials being unsighted.So, how is VAR making everything worse?The penalty decision had no bearing on Everton's defeat. That was squarely on the players and the manager. We look back at West Ham and dip in form at a bad time for the Toffees, before looking ahead to another Monday night match against title-chasing Man City.Blue Monday is brought to you in conjunction with Invisible Wind Factory. We’ll be back for the penultimate What’s the Score? at the Windy ahead of the City game, where you’ll be able to enjoy pre-match drinks and food from Pierogi and Pickles.

Matt and Paddy are back from a painful weekend in London - mentally and physically. As if a marathon wasn’t agonising enough, Matt has to relive Everton’s loss at West Ham. We look at why the Blues have suddenly lost defensive stability and what positions need to be strengthened in the summer. Also, is it the right time for Everton to complain to PGMO about the refereeing decisions after Saturday’s appalling handball miss? 🏃 SPONSOR MATT Matt completed the London Marathon to raise money for the Kevin Campbell Foundation: https://t.co/p698UvxHW1 🤝 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.

Numb to it all now, aren’t we? Aren’t we!?! The lads have the unenviable job of talking about Everton’s latest Merseyside derby masterpiece. Matt - after an antibiotics and alcohol mix - and Paddy - fresh from a big rewrite - had to steel themselves for this one. So why does it keep happening? Is it something deeper or just dreadful defending? And how can Moyes and the players pick themselves up for a European run? It’ll be therapeutic.

Everton were stung twice by the Bees but remained standing on Saturday…just. There is plenty for Paddy and Matt to discuss on the Byline this week. We look at the pattern of the game and the impact of Tyrique George from the bench. How big an impact can he have before the end of the season? Season ticket renewal details were also released. Are some fans right to be frustrated about the increased prices? And there’s the Merseyside derby against Liverpool too. Can Everton take confidence into the clash with their bitter rivals. 🤝 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 🏃 SPONSOR MATT Matt is running the London Marathon next month to raise money for the Kevin Campbell Foundation: https://t.co/p698UvxHW1 📩 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.
