FULL TIME ARSENAL🔴 2-0 🔵 EVERTON Slog in the rain for the Toffees at the Emirates today. Miserable fixture as always. Reactions? Did we learn anything new from that result?

Everton spent the first half making Chelsea hate every minute. They came back out and conceded before most of the Hill Dickinson crowd were back in their seats. New pod on how an awkward afternoon for Chelsea became a comfortable one in 43 seconds. Listen or watch: linktr.ee/thebluefrontier

FULL TIME EVERTON🔵 0-2 ⚪CHELSEA A poor 2nd half that lacked any cohesion after a scrappy opening 45. The Toffees face defeat for the first time this season. Reactions, comments, questions for the pod?

Everton created six big chances, came from behind and took the lead at Hull. They still struggled to control the match. The full trio is back discussing the transition problems, Branthwaite at LB, and a mixed afternoon for Barry. Hull City 2-2 Everton is available now: linktr.ee/thebluefront...

New heights of amateur podcasting today as we accidentally livestreamed our entire Hull post-match pod, only realizing 40 minutes in. Congrats to anyone who caught an unplanned look at how the sausage gets made. Evidence has since been destroyed. Edited pod out later!

FULL TIME HULL🟠 2-2 ⚪ EVERTON Back from the break, a lively second half at the MKM Stadium sees the Toffees battle back to take the lead. Poor defending allows the home side to equalize. EFC still unbeaten. Thoughts, questions, comments for the pod?

Everton are fifth and unbeaten after a 1-0 Ipswich win. Not convincing, but Barry grabbed his chance, Dibling argued for more minutes (and that's five clean sheets). We've turned James's live chat into a short podcast: linktr.ee/THEBLUEFRONT...

FULL TIME EVERTON 🔵 1-0 ⚪ IPSWICH TOWN The Toffees cap off their unbeaten start to the season with 3 points through Thierno Barry's creative finish. James will be going live on Youtube, FB, and X in lieu of a post-match pod: would love to take some live comments and questions. Link shared shortly

Everton are through after beating Wolves 1–0, a rotated side giving Moyes decisions. We discuss Dibling’s 90 minutes and patience, Alcaraz’s decisive role, breaking down stubborn Wolves, and who deserves more game time. Full episode: linktr.ee/thebluefront...

FULL TIME EVERTON 🔵 1-0 🟠 WOLVES Toffees advance in the Cup through Charly Alcaraz's late winner, moments after being introduced. Lots of food for thought after that one: questions, thoughts, or topics for the pod?

Mykolenko made five first-half tackles... and lost the ball 14 times. That is why simple good/bad verdicts miss the point. His defending held up under pressure, and Branthwaite’s presence changes what he can do. Full episode: linktr.ee/thebluefrontier

Spurs had the territory. Everton had more control than the possession numbers suggest. The shape stayed compact, the middle stayed crowded and Spurs finished with only two shots on target. From our Spurs 0-0 Everton review: linktr.ee/thebluefrontier

Everton defended the match well. They never worked out how to attack it. We look at the missing midfield outlet, Johnson's unused runs and whether Moyes made a winnable game safer with his substitutions. Pod out now: linktr.ee/thebluefront...

FULL TIME SPURS⚪ 0-0 🔵 EVERTON A stalemale in London with neither team doing enough to deserve the three points. Nevertheless, a clean sheet + point on the road, still unbeaten. Match reactions or questions for the pod?

Hackney, Grealish and Maitland-Niles all made an impact off the bench against United. Which one most changed your view of Everton’s best XI vs Spurs?

James Tarkowski doesn’t have to be a bad defender for Jake O’Brien to be the better fit. If Everton want to press higher, their centre-backs have to defend more space. O’Brien’s recovery pace could let the team hold its shape instead of dropping off. Full discussion: youtu.be/WwADJgtRZm0

Maitland-Niles' finish is going to get a lot of replays. The performance around it deserves another look too. James and Ryan discuss Everton’s 2–2 draw with United: the gaps behind the press, Hackney’s impact, and the case for giving O’Brien a chance. Full episode: linktr.ee/thebluefront...

FULL TIME #EVERTON 🔵 2-2 🔴 MAN UNITED TOFFEES EQUALIZE WITH THE LAST KICK OF THE GAME! Ainsley Maitland-Niles with an absolutely STUNNING finish to rescue a point! So much to dissect after this one - give us your questions and thoughts for the pod ⬇️

Man United have been a strange watch so far: 21 shots and 72% possession in a 2-0 loss at Hull, then 33 shots and five goals after going behind to Ipswich. They can overwhelm teams, but have also looked vulnerable out wide. What’s one tactical/personnel choice you want Moyes to make tomorrow?

Balogun might have lifted Everton’s window to a C+ on vibes alone. Without him, the final assessment was painful: some decent outgoing business, a few useful additions, but little that either builds for the future or moves Everton toward Europe. James' final grade: D-

The Balogun collapse completed a chaotic deadline day, but our new episode is about Everton’s entire window: the deals + the recruitment structure that even under new ownership still lacks a coherent plan. A fairly critical Deadline Day Blue Frontier: live on Youtube, Apple, and Spotify.

Everton’s deadline day appears to be just about done. A lot changed late: -Ndiaye, Beto, Patterson, Iroegbunam out -Grealish and Balogun in -Armstrong staying -Maitland-Niles still in question How are you feeling about the window as a whole?

£40m is a big fee for Harrison Armstrong, but Everton may regret it in two years. The real worry: selling your best academy player to bankroll a short-term push for Europe. Who's guarding the club's long-term plan? buff.ly/BSJ88w5
