In this week’s View from the Gwladys, host Ian Croll and guests Rob Ast...

This is understand to be as a result of turning up late for a team meeting. Silva also revealed it was not for the first time.

A difficult game for the Blues against Spurs turned into a nightmare as arguably Everton’s best midfielder, Andre Gomes suffered a nightmare injury leaving his season in tatters.

And the former of those is at the centre of an interesting discussion for our podcast panel. Phil Kirkbride is joi...

Everton’s performance this week in the Carabao Cup was certainly not the most eye-catching display but a win is a win and Everton being in the hat for the next round is the most important thing.
