In this episode of the Royal Blue podcast, Ian Croll is joined by Chris Beesley to dissect Everton’s frustrating 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace. After James Tarkowski and Beto twice put the Toffees in front, David Moyes watched his side pegged back by Ismaïla Sarr and a late Jean-Philippe Mateta strike.
We dive deep into the defensive fragility that saw Michael Keane’s clearance fall short and the lack of clinical edge from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Iliman Ndiaye that could have put the game to bed.
In this episode, we ask, why can't Everton hold a lead? We look at the "poor sensing" at the back that cost us the full three points.
Beto’s Brilliance: A silver lining as the striker finds his scoring touch—is he now our most important attacking asset?
The Table as it Stands: With the draw, Everton missed the chance to climb into 8th. We look at the standings and the mathematical reality of a top-seven finish.
Two Games to Go: Where does this leave the hunt for Europe? We preview the final run-in and ask if the dream is "drifting away" or if there’s one last twist in the tale.
