The full ATP is in tow with Alex, James, and Ryan bringing you all the action from a satisfying 3-0 Caribou Cup win at Goodison against Dyche’s former club, Burnley.  Key moments from former Burnley stalwarts, Dwight McNeil and James Tarkowski helped the Toffees on their way as they advance to the quarter finals of the Caribou Cup.  The ATP get into the details of the match including the starting lineups, which should have been a good indicator of how the match would pan out.  While the match itself was uneventful in a positive way, there was plenty to discuss and the ATP brings in several listener comments to help with the dialog.  The ATP then finishes with a bit of a dialog about current form, playing identity, and chances of a deeper cup run.

An early Derby day brings the full power trio together to bring you all the drama from a 2-0 Toffee loss at Liverpool.  Alex, James, and Ryan give their takes along with listeners on all the drama – the red card, the lack of red card, Craig Pawson’s performance, the tactical switch to 531, and the overall Everton performance.  The ATP also tries to look at how much of this is Dyche’s tactical setup and personnel decisions vs. individual performances.  They also take a hard listen and look at Sean Dyche’s post-match comments and some of the ridiculous language that constitutes the FA Rulebook.

James is not longer in Liverpool, therefore Everton win. In the sunshine at Goodison Park, the Toffees matched their highest goal output of season and kept a clean sheet for the first time this campaign. 

Alex and James are here for a bit of a throwback to the OG pod (though they both miss Ryan dearly), going through the customary instant reactions, lineups, tactics, and main moments of an enjoyable victory. They then discuss the changes to the midfield forced upon Dyche, the emergence of Jack Harrison, Onana's quality, and a strong performance from our #9. 

Wrapping the show with a number of insightful listener comments, it's clear the fanbase are reveling in the victory. We hope you enjoy the recap!

First of all, Happy Birthday to James Boyman and congratulations for representing the ATP well in a 2-1 loss at Goodison to Luton Town.  As a result, Alex and Ryan hold down the pod this week and discuss how big of a loss this is, where we thought Everton went wrong, and what this side could look like in the future.  Lots of listener comments this week with emphasis on Sean Dyche’s role and whether or not the adjustments he made - Gana off, 2 CFs, Patterson for Young, Danjuma for McNeil - were the right ones today.  But most importantly, thank you James for bringing your good luck and charm to Goodison as you definitely made an impact.
