While David Moyes' side were well below their usual standards, the Toffees showed their resilient side to grind out another crucial three points and keep their unbeaten start to the season intact.

Hannah Wilkes is joined by Dominic King, Martin Samuel and John Cross to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We kick off with Arsenal's defeat at Brighton, breaking down how Fabian Hürzeler's side dominated the game through an impressive out-of-possession structure and aggressive man-to-man press, culminating in a 3-0 victory with 40% possession.We then turn to Tottenham, who scored their first two Premier League goals but lost 3-2 to Aston Villa, leaving them in the bottom three. Despite some encouraging football, Roberto De Zerbi admitted he was “disappointed, sad and frustrated” and revealed he didn't speak to his players after the game. But is De Zerbi's reputation beginning to come under scrutiny?Finally, we turn to another divisive VAR decision as Everton's Barry saw a header ruled out while leading Ipswich 1-0. Despite no complaints from the Ipswich players, VAR judged Brennan Johnson to have been interfering with play. Dominic King and John Cross disagree over whether the goal should have stood — but was VAR right to intervene?-•You can watch the sporting action live on Sky Sports.

Join Ian Croll, Chris Beesley, and Joe Thomas on the latest episode of the Royal Blue podcast as they preview Everton's Premier League home match against Ipswich Town! Fresh off qualifying for the 4th round of the League Cup with a midweek victory over Wolves, Everton remain unbeaten so far this season. Can the Toffees maintain their momentum and carry this impressive form into the three-week international break? The panel breaks down all the key talking points ahead of Saturday afternoon's kick-off at Hill Dickinson Stadium. On Today's Agenda: Team News & Selection Dilemmas: Who gets the nod after midweek rotation? The lads discuss squad fitness, key selection headaches, and the tactical decisions facing the manager. Stats & Head-to-Head: A look at recent form, past meetings, and where the match could be won or lost. Score Predictions: Ian, Chris, and Joe offer their final score predictions for Saturday's clash.
David Moyes' summer is spent chasing half the Premiership's central midfielders to no avail. So the board's 5m war chest is spent on two wingers, a prodigal striker to go with the other 84 we already have, and a "backup" goalie who ends up being Everton's best cat since Southall's 80s heyday.More worryingly, Wayne Rooney's growing too big, both literally and figuratively. He's overweight in pre-season and his 18th birthday party is all over OK or Hello or one of them stupid magazines, attended by C-list celebrities and media types who want to see him sold to Chelsea.After a half-decent start in the league, the Toffees find themselves in the bottom three after a pitiful Monday night display at Ewood Park, and fans start to wonder if Moyes' 7th-place finish the year before was too magnificent to be true.This episode is supported by The Excelsior.

In today's episode, your host Chris Beesley is joined by Joe Thomas to break down a massive week of news for the Toffees, both on the international stage and in the summer transfer market. On the Agenda:
This is 40, and it's not long into this landmark episode before Everton's dubious title credentials are all dead.Joe Royle always enjoyed a Derby win as manager, but the Barmby-inspired smash and grab at the Baseball Ground will be the Toffees' last away league win for over a year, and Royle's final one as gaffer.Come March, Joe, or "Moosehead" as he's been affectionately named by a couple of Kev's rogue uncles, is on the march and Peter Johnson faces a Sophie's choice of giving the caretaker role to prankster Dave Watson or the potty mouthed Neville Southall.They said no to Flo so Joe chose to go.Not many wins in Part 2 then (not for Everton anyway) but still plenty of excitement - a player/manager in charge, a fight in the Goodison derby, a star player who may or may not be in debt to the Russian mafia.

Royal Blue: The Everton FC Podcast: Ian Croll & Andy Dunn EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee The business end of the season is here, but for Everton, the gears seem to be grinding. In this latest episode of the Royal Blue Podcast, host Ian Croll sits down with the Daily Mirror's Chief Sports Reporter Andy Dunn to dissect a pivotal moment in the Blues' campaign. Everton's European ambitions have hit a significant roadblock. Following a frustrating 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park—where the Toffees twice surrendered the lead—the stats make for grim reading: just two points taken from the last 15 available. With only two games remaining, the "European Dream" is now hanging by a thread, and David Moyes' side no longer controls their own destiny. On Today's Agenda: The Slump & why has the momentum stalled? We look at the recent run of results and why Everton are struggling to get over the line in the final third. With the gap widening, we analyze the permutations. Everton are now in the uncomfortable position of relying on other teams to stumble just to keep their top-seven hopes alive. The Managerial Question: David Moyes has transformed the club since his return in January 2025, but with his contract situation looming, should The Friedkin Group pull the trigger on a long-term deal now, or wait to see how the season concludes? A Crucial Summer: Recruitment has been the Achilles' heel in years past. Andy Dunn gives his insight on why the upcoming window is the most important in a decade to ensure this season's progress isn't a one-off. Is the European dream dead, or is there one last twist in the tale? Should the club back Moyes regardless of the final league position?

Two leads, two lapses, and a major sense of "what if" at Selhurst Park. EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee. In this episode of the Royal Blue podcast, Ian Croll is joined by Chris Beesley to dissect Everton's frustrating 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace. After James Tarkowski and Beto twice put the Toffees in front, David Moyes watched his side pegged back by Ismaïla Sarr and a late Jean-Philippe Mateta strike. We dive deep into the defensive fragility that saw Michael Keane's clearance fall short and the lack of clinical edge from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Iliman Ndiaye that could have put the game to bed. In this episode, we ask, why can't Everton hold a lead? We look at the "poor sensing" at the back that cost us the full three points. Beto's Brilliance: A silver lining as the striker finds his scoring touch—is he now our most important attacking asset? The Table as it Stands: With the draw, Everton missed the chance to climb into 8th. We look at the standings and the mathematical reality of a top-seven finish. Two Games to Go: Where does this leave the hunt for Europe? We preview the final run-in and ask if the dream is "drifting away" or if there's one last twist in the tale. #EFC #EvertonFC #DavidMoyes #EvertonStadium #HillDickinson #RoyalBlue Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO's Royal Blue YouTube channel.
