It’s the morning after the night before and Adam Jones, our Everton FC reporter, and Sam Carroll, who was on reporting duty at Goodison Park on Sunday, join host Paul Wheelock for the latest Royal Blue podcast.
Sadly, the Blues’ 6-2 loss to Tottenham Hotspur dominates the agenda, and Sam, in particular, having witnessed the humiliation first hand, has a lot to get off his chest.
Adam, who had the foresight to book the day off, reckons the hiding to Spurs underlines the importance of Idrissa Gueye to Everton.
But were the midfield helped by Marco Silva’s tactics? Paul doesn’t think so, which in turn leads to Adam suggesting that the Blues boss was a victim of his own ambition and well-read Sam to bringing a bit of Greek mythology to proceedings.
The facts don’t lie, however, and Everton currently have one point fewer than they did at this stage of last season. So have we all been going over the top with talk of progress being made under Silva?
The lads debate that question before flatmates Adam and Sam have it out over whether Jonjoe Kenny should replace Seamus Coleman in the starting line-up.
And the podcast rounds off with predictions for the trip to Turf Moor to take on Burnley on Boxing Day, Sam name-dropping, and waxing lyrical about Adam’s cooking.
Enjoy – and Merry Christmas from everyone at the Royal Blue podcasts. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
