The Blue Room - Everton FC Podcast

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.

Another late Everton goal saw the Toffees take an important point away at Brentford. But the league is so tight that just six points separate Chelsea in 6th from Newcastle in 14th. Every point is crucial if we want to qualify for Europe. With both teams in almost identical form, how should Moyes approach the weekend's derby? Learn more about your ad choices.

Everton will play their 7th Monday night game of the season in May. It affects travel plans, enjoyment, and if we look at the stats, it could be affecting results, too.Is it time for fans to get together and take a stand against the ridiculous scheduling of matches? Or are we too tribal to ever really come together for a common cause?An FSA poll has found that 75% of football fans don't support the use of VAR, with 92% agreeing it's removed the spontaneous joy of goal celebrations. Should its use at least be rolled back, as it currently feels more like video refereeing than video assistance.And there's the small matter of this weekend's European six-pointer at Brentford.
