@leeholdgate We will do the same thing we did last year @TheBlueFrontier and go through every position of need and make recommendations. But we went through hundreds of names last year so you definitely can’t accuse us of not producing names.

[Nick Weinstein @nickweinstein27]

Excellent pod to end a “meh” season. Thanks to @RyanSoccerAA @0ptimumvelocity @kingkhan225 for another good year! UTFT

Everton had Spurs’ survival in their hands and produced one shot on target in the 98th minute. A finale that felt equal parts inevitable, procedural and symbolic.

SPURS ⚪ 1-0 🔵 EVERTON

The Toffees limp across the finish line of the 25/26 PL season, winless in their last 7, so many of the season-long frustrations on display in the final installment.

Match reactions to the Spurs defeat?
Feelings going into the summer?
All fair game today.

[The Blue Frontier - American Everton Analysis @TheBlueFrontier]

As we near the close of the PL season, we wanted to thank @EFCanalytics @DanMc1878 @jackson_bugle @nebula1979 @greenallefc @EFC_Statto @LeeFolgerV @gareth_latter @BrodyinMD for their recent contributions to the pod. And YES we will be doing another team assessment soon!

If you are a fan of the pod, you'll definitely know why this is so amusing. Props to @nbrackins10 for posting it on the discord (which you should all join!).

[Ryan Williams @RyanSoccerAA]

@TheBlueFrontier so it looks like Everton can finish anywhere from 9th (actually 10th) to 14th on the final day. Interesting...😃

[Archie @EFCanalytics]

@alfie__03 Hoeneß and Iraola both fit the bill. Any wage you give them will be worth the transfer value you're gonna lose on these young players Moyes is gonna bench all year.

The "mean defence" - completely fallen apart this season

The manager's "desire to champion young talent" - completely disregarded the development of almost all young players

The fact the rebuild was "unprecedented for a team not making the step up from..

[Casey Griffin @c_griff314]

@TheBlueFrontier If you don’t have a coherent strategy as a club, he is safer than making a poorly planned hire. Otherwise 🤷‍♂️

[The Blue Frontier - American Everton Analysis @TheBlueFrontier]

Okay listeners...quick question for the pod we are about to get into...what are the reasons to keep David Moyes as Everton manager for next year?

EVERTON🔵 1-3 🔴SUNDERLAND

Toffees poor game management once again proves fatal, ending our home campaign with huge disappointment. Hopes of Europe effectively dashed.

Thoughts on the match, and the first season at BMD?

Crystal Palace 2-2 Everton

Another lead blown, this time done before stoppage time

A lot of missed chances but a ton of luck in not conceding after the 2nd

Instant match reactions? ⬇️

[The Blue Frontier - American Everton Analysis @TheBlueFrontier]

Everton were 3-1 up on Man City with 20 minutes left. Doku scored with the last meaningful kick. New episode breaks down the utter chaos in the second half and why the second-half xG numbers show the Toffees deserved more.

EVERTON 3-3 MAN CITY

A seismic win snatched away at the very death.

Some shift put in by the Blues, but not enough.

Penny for your thoughts on that one? ⬇️

[Ryan Williams @RyanSoccerAA]

Tyler Dibling played over 1800 minutes in 33 matches last year in the Premier League. Paying a premium for players with top flight experience to then treat them like good academy products is an interesting development strategy.

[Ryan Williams @RyanSoccerAA]

I would dig out all the quotes over the years from top managers saying how the most important thing for youth development is meaningful minutes, game in game out, in difficult environments, but this is such a common viewpoint at this point I would be wasting my time.

[Joe Thomas @joe_thomas18]

Asked David Moyes about the use of his squad in recent months.

These were his thoughts on:

🔹 Dibling+Rohl progress+their lack of minutes
🔹 Persistence with core group
🔹 Reflection on last summer’s transfer business

For the second week running, Everton concede a stoppage time winner.
For the first time in club history, it happens in back-to-back games.
Callum Wilson: 9 in his last 8 against the Toffees.

The death of our European dreams?
