## Resource

Two leads, two lapses, and a major sense of "what if" at Selhurst Park. EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee. 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. #EFC #EvertonFC #DavidMoyes #EvertonStadium #HillDickinson #RoyalBlue Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.
