Episode Notes

In today's episode, host Ian Croll is joined by Tony Scott and Gav Buckland to dissect a pivotal week in Everton’s season. As the campaign enters its final stretch, the stakes couldn't be higher for David Moyes' Blues.

The lads dive into the newly released audio from the PGMOL regarding the controversial clash at the London Stadium against West Ham. We finally hear the explanation behind why Mateus Fernandes’ apparent handball wasn't given as a penalty. Was it an accident? Was it a natural position? Or did Everton once again fall victim to a baffling VAR interpretation? 

After a string of games where the Blues have looked uncharacteristically shaky at the back, the panel asks if it's time for David Moyes to experiment.

The Jake O'Brien Question: With the Irishman impressing in a "hybrid" right-back role, is it time to move him to his natural center-back position? If O'Brien moves inside, who makes way? We debate whether Michael Keane’s goal-scoring threat outweighs the defensive stability of James Tarkowski.

With a massive game against Sunderland looming at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, the big team news revolves around Idrissa Gana Gueye. If the veteran is declared fit, does he go straight back into the starting 11 to provide that much-needed shield, or do the Blues stick with the current midfield balance?

The Black Cats are coming to town, and the lads offer their score predictions and tactical blueprints for a must-win home fixture.

To wrap things up with a bit of fun, the lads rank Premier League Kick-off Times.
