Branthwaite Injury Blow | Beto Contract | Derby Final Word!

Reach Podcasts — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 14:40:00 GMT

Host Ian Croll and the Liverpool Echo's Chris Beesley dive into a somber week for the Blues following a painful 2-1 defeat in the Merseyside Derby. While the result at the Hill Dickinson Stadium stings, the long-term consequences could be even more severe.

The headline news is the injury to Jarrad Branthwaite. After being stretchered off in the dying minutes against Liverpool, reports suggest the star defender is facing two months on the sidelines with a hamstring tear. With the 23-year-old’s season potentially over, Ian and Chris discuss how David Moyes recalibrates a defense that has looked far more stable with the England international in the lineup.

The guys turn their attention to Beto. Despite a tireless work rate, questions remain about his clinical edge. With his current deal running until 2027, the panel debates the latest rumors surrounding his future: Does he deserve a contract extension to secure his value? Or is it time for Everton to look for a different profile of striker this summer?

It’s been a tough run for Thierno Barry. After a solid start to his Everton career, his recent performances have dipped, leading to visible frustration in the stands. We explore his complex relationship with the fans and whether the young forward can prove himself as Everton’s.

Finally, we wrap up the post-match autopsy of the 2-1 loss to Liverpool. From missed opportunities to controversial officiating, we provide the final word on a derby that leaves Everton looking over their shoulder as the season enters its final stretch.

Why are Everton like this? | Byline 90

The Blue Room — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 22:40:00 GMT

Numb to it all now, aren’t we? Aren’t we!?!

The lads have the unenviable job of talking about Everton’s latest Merseyside derby masterpiece. Matt - after an antibiotics and alcohol mix - and Paddy - fresh from a big rewrite - had to steel themselves for this one.

So why does it keep happening? Is it something deeper or just dreadful defending? And how can Moyes and the players pick themselves up for a European run?

It’ll be therapeutic. Honestly.

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Join Ian Croll, Gavin Buckland, and Tony Scott as the Royal Blue podcast looks ahead to a high-stakes Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park.

Following a dramatic 2-2 draw away at Brentford—salvaged by a late Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall strike—the Toffees return home with Europe in their sights. Currently sitting 8th on 47 points, David Moyes’ side has a massive opportunity to reel in the neighbours.

The timing couldn't be better for Everton. Arne Slot’s Liverpool will arrive at Hill Dickinson Stadium nursing a European hangover after crashing out of the Champions League quarter-finals to PSG last night. With the Reds sitting 5th and only five points ahead of Everton, a win on Sunday would blow the race for European football wide open.

Everton’s never say die attitude earns vital point away to Brentford!

Reach Podcasts — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Royal Blue: Dewsbury-Hall Rescues a Point at the Gtech & Season Ticket Price Hikes.

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Join Ian Croll and Joe Thomas for a post-match reaction as Everton showed serious fighting spirit to snatch a point in a chaotic 2-2 draw away at Brentford.

The Blues looked to be heading for a narrow defeat until Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall popped up in the 91st minute to sweep home a dramatic equaliser, silencing the Gtech Community Stadium and sending the travelling Toffees into raptures.

We break down the key moments, from Beto's first-half header to the defensive lapses that twice gave the Bees the lead, and ask: is this the "never-say-die" attitude David Moyes has truly instilled in this European-chasing squad?

Was a draw a fair result? We discuss the resilience shown to come from behind twice and Dewsbury-Hall's knack for scoring "clutch" goals.

We’ve also got reaction to Friday’s announcement regarding season ticket price increases for the 2026/27 season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. With some fans facing rises of up to 10%, we discuss the timing and the impact on the loyal match-going fanbase.

Finally a quick look ahead to Sunday. The Merseyside Derby is looming—can Everton carry this momentum into a massive clash against the neighbors?

Will resilient Everton rock the Reds at Hill Dickinson Stadium? | Byline 89

The Blue Room — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 22:59:00 GMT

Everton were stung twice by the Bees but remained standing on Saturday…just. There is plenty for Paddy and Matt to discuss on the Byline this week.

We look at the pattern of the game and the impact of Tyrique George from the bench. How big an impact can he have before the end of the season?

Season ticket renewal details were also released. Are some fans right to be frustrated about the increased prices?

And there’s the Merseyside derby against Liverpool too. Can Everton take confidence into the clash with their bitter rivals.

Another late Everton goal saw the Toffees take an important point away at Brentford. But the league is so tight that just six points separate Chelsea in 6th from Newcastle in 14th.

Every point is crucial if we want to qualify for Europe. With both teams in almost identical form, how should Moyes approach the weekend's derby?
