Matt is joined by Sue Smith and Alan Feehely this week. We get Sue's thoughts on the season so far and the new stadium. Everton Women are also on the agenda after a tough start to the campaign and a worrying 3-1 loss to bottom club West Ham United on Sunday. Alan joins us to talk all things Irish football and Everton after their remarkable 3-2 win over Hungary. Is this the start of a late-career renaissance for Seamus Coleman? And could Troy Parrott provide a simple solution to team's complex goalscoring problems.
Paddy has been busy during the international break - he spoke exclusively to Everton forward Thierno Barry HERE. He and Matt explore the nuances that come with interviewing a new player through a translator and how he's adapted to life on Merseyside. We also assess the growing transfer speculation surrounding Iliman Ndiaye. Could Everton get a big offer for the forward in January? And what should they do if they do? In the final part of the show we answer questions on Troy Parrott, Seamus Coleman, Jake O'Brien, the academy set-up, the Toffee Lady and Everton's most overrated and underrated current players.
On this week's episode, Les and Dave piggyback on the feel-good factor around Ireland's incredible international weekend - should Coleman be starting at right back? Could Everton take a punt on Parrott? We then look ahead to Everton's trip to Old Trafford, which is - annoyingly - still a full week away.

Everton go into another international break on the back of a win. And it felt like a big one at Hill Dickinson Stadium. We start by looking at Thierno Barry's performance. The forward felt the love after his best display in an Everton shirt - was a conscious effort made to rally around him after his miss at Sunderland? We also assess the changes Moyes made to the team and whether they are short-term or long-term solutions. With that in mind, our last topic is transfer-related. Would an experienced striker like Richarlison or Ivan Toney make sense in January? Or should Everton keep their powder dry until the summer?

LISTEN IN FULL: https://tinyurl.com/4kespxr3 Matt is joined by Jake and Mick this week. After.a brief chat about fireworks - good or grow up? - we turn our attention to the much less explosive topic of Everton's performance on Monday. The Blues were so passive in spells against Sunderland in their 1-1 draw. Was that down to a mental or technical problem? We also look at the situation Thierno Barry finds himself in and reflect on some peculiar substitutions. It's Fulham to finish off…big game isn't it? Learn more about your ad choices.

Make sure you don't miss out on our exclusive deal – head to nordvpn.com/blueroom A draw at Sunderland - but has an Everton game sparked as big a negative reaction as this one? The Blues started well then faded terribly at the Stadium of Light. What triggered the startling collapse in performance - and what on earth were those substitutions about? Matt and Paddy take a look, and we finish off by looking back at the England vs Australia Test Match at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday. Paddy was in attendance to tell us what it was like and whether there are more events like this to come.

Everton are in a bad run of form with just one win in seven and some awful performances - one of which was for 60 minnutes against Sunderland. The manager has largely kept the same team and is making some terrible and confusing substitutions. Reactions have largely been very negative with some calling for Moyes to be sacked - are we too extreme in our views? Is the team about where it should be?

Matt is joined by Jack and Adam this week. We look at Everton's current situation after back-to-back losses. Could things look different in a couple of weeks with the Premier League table to congested? The summer recruitment then comes into focus - why do Everton have more than £100 million worth of signings from the previous window on the bench?

Everton's issues were laid bare in Everton's defeat to Tottenham - a relatively even game saw Spurs stick three past Everton with no reply. The team suddenly looks imbalanced. There seems to be a lack of trust among certain players, and the manager clearly doesn't trust all of his summer signings. What needs to change ahead of Sunderland to get things back on track?

Les and Dave discuss the defeat at City, focusing on possible frailties in Everton's defence - is Tarkowski's form troubling? Should O'Brien still be at right back? If fit, should Branthwaite come straight back in? If so, who for? We also look at Everton's summer recruitment - too many development players? - and whether the threshold for decisions for Everton is greater than the decisions given against them.
