In this episode, we dive deep into Everton's squad performance this season, highlighting standout moments, unexpected breakthroughs, and areas that urgently need attention. We scrutinize the formidable defensive partnership of James Tarkovsky and Jarrad Branthwaite, alongside the persistent struggles at the right-back position. Our discussion also dissects the potential of Amadou Onana and whether his underwhelming performances can be blamed on his own limitations or Sean Dyche's tactical system.

We'll explore the ups and downs of individual players like Dominic Calvert-Lewin and James Garner, as well as the noteworthy improvement of Mykolenko under Dyche's guidance. Nathan Patterson's limited playtime and the utilization of Onana raise some eyebrows, but the team's overall effort, especially in light of behind-the-scenes challenges, receives well-deserved praise. On the transfer front, we evaluate potential reinforcements such as Dwight McNeil, Jack Harrison, and Ashley Young, and discuss strategies to strengthen the squad without breaking the bank.

What financial sacrifices might Everton need to make to move forward? We tackle the complex issue of potentially selling key players like Pickford, Branthwaite, Onana, and Calvert-Lewin to reinvest in the squad. With a focus on strategic decision-making and financial implications, we debate the merits of keeping or selling these assets. Finally, we assess the potential return of Jack Harrison and the critical need for squad depth, wrapping up with cautious optimism about unexpected signings that could boost Everton's prospects.
