On today’s agenda:

David Moyes Tactical Debate: Does David Moyes need to evolve his tactical approach to win over sceptical Evertonians? While his teams are notoriously resilient, disciplined, and difficult to beat, does his pragmatic blueprint ultimately stifle attacking flair and creative freedom?
Big Dunc on Dominic Calvert-Lewin: Duncan Ferguson pulled no punches on The Overlap Daily, claiming the Blues should never have allowed Dominic Calvert-Lewin to leave the club—arguing the club should have matched his wage demands, whether £100k or £200k a week. Ian and Chris react to the Everton icon's emphatic comments.

Takeover Limbo & January Spending: With the club's ownership situation dragging on, what does prolonged uncertainty mean for the squad? If a deal is not finalized before the January window opens, how much financial flexibility will Everton actually have to strengthen?

Have your say in the live comments below: Does Moyes need to be more adventurous, and were Everton right or wrong to move on from Calvert-Lewin?

The Paddock Blues — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 19:36:00 GMT

In this episode, we look back at Everton’s disappointing 2-0 defeat to Chelsea and discuss the increasingly negative approach to games under Moyes

Are his tactics holding us back? Why does watching Everton feel like such a chore at times? And is it time for the club to seriously consider moving on from Moyes in the summer?

We also discuss the overall mood amongst Evertonians, the lack of attacking ambition and whether supporters are right to expect more than the dull, uninspiring football we’re currently watching

Have Everton been left behind by modern football? | Byline 116

The Blue Room — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

The Invincibles dream is over. Everton lost for the first time this season at home to Chelsea on Saturday. But had it been coming for a few weeks now?

We look at David Moyes’ substitutions after the Christian Norgaard change backfired spectacularly on in the 2-0 defeat. Is he really bad at them? And is he making enough of them?

Then it’s a look at Brighton, who have been the stars of the Premier League this season. Could Everton really ever implement that kind of model? How far away are the Blues from the Premier League’s most modern outfits?

Finally, Paddy provides and update on Josh Wander, who plead guilty to charges of fraud last week.
