After the worst week so far at Hill Dickinson Stadium, Matt is joined by Adam and Foxy to assess the damage.

What approach to Everton take in the transfer window after being dumped out of the FA Cup? And what will that mean for Barry and Beto?

The fourth-kit fiasco is also slammed - well, at least by two of us - and we moan about VAR after the latest shambles in the League Cup.

With Paddy still absent - last spotted in a Noosa drinking spot - Matt is joined by the Liverpool Echo’s Everton correspondent Joe Thomas this week. We assess where the defeat to Sunderland leaves the team. Keep powder dry for the summer? Or chips in in the transfer market in the race for a European place? The new fourth kit is also on the agenda. Should Everton play in anything other than royal blue at home?

What could have been a memorable week of football that saw Everton move up the table and progress in the FA Cup has turned out to be a disaster. On the pitch, the team looks devoid of ideas and players lack confidence, and the manager is once again dampening expectations. Off the pitch, some fans are struggling to adapt to the new surroundings, and the club released a navy and pink that will only be synonymous with another early FA Cup exit.

The timing of the (let's face it, needless) fourth kit couldn't have been worse, given comments from Tom Beahon, co-founder of Castore, who last week said: "We live in a capitalist society [not entirely true], if people couldn't afford it, those prices wouldn't be charged."

Les and Dave go in on all that and those horrific penalties. We'd love to know your thoughts on it all.

The Everton rollercoaster continues!
Giulia Bould joins Matt on the podcast this week with Paddy in Australia. Unfortunately they have a challenging afternoon to reflect on.

What went so wrong against Brentford in the 4-2 defeat? And why have Everton already suffered three heavy defeats at Hill Dickinson Stadium against mid table teams?

We also look at the transfer window. What are Everton expecting? What do they need? And how do you cover them?

Les and Dave pick through another woeful home defeat for Everton.

Once again, Moyes has needlessly changed a winning team, and it's seen Everton slump to a third heavy defeat at home to mid-table opposition. Is it down to the manager?

Should he be doing better against teams around Everton, even with limited resources?

And can he put it right ahead of a huge week of league and cup games?
