Shambles, toothless, pathetic – just some of the words to describe Everton’s performance against Chelsea. Without a doubt Everton’s worst performance under Carlo Ancelotti leaving a huge cloud over the Blues’ European aspirations. Everton never really got going at Stamford Bridge and a 4-0 drubbing could’ve been a lot worse. Ian Croll and guests of Ben Crawford and Stuey Carroll sit down around the Royal Blue table to discuss, debate and scrutinize what unfolded on Sunday afternoon. Who was to blame and did last week’s VAR decision kill any momentum as quite clearly every single Everton player on that pitch wasn’t at the races. This week’s show is a hard listen but it’s all part of the weekly Everton therapy. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Ian Croll is joined by Ben Crawford and Gary Callaghan who analyse and discuss the defeat against Arsenal in this week’s View from the Gwladys Street podcast. Frustration is the overall theme but the overriding positive has to be the return and impact of Andre Gomes. A number of players struggled on Sunday and the lads question where the likes of Sigurdsson, Iwobi and Schneiderlin go from here. Djibril Sidibe hasn’t had the best of times lately and there is much debate on whether he has been found out. Calvert-Lewin got Everton off to the perfect start but missed some great opportunities to get the Blues back in the game. Was he unlucky or just not clinical enough? It was a disappointing result but the lads do their best to take positives from it heading into a must win against Manchester United on at the weekend.
