## Resource

Everton’s season ends in a frustrating slump. In this latest edition of the Royal Blue Podcast, Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas reflect on the final game of the season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. While Everton's Premier League future wasn’t on the line this year, a straight shootout between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United saw Everton fail to make Spurs work for their safety. The lads break down the tactical frustrations, David Moyes' setup, Jake O'Brien continually being forced out of position at right-back, and how Sunderland's massive leapfrog has fundamentally changed the mood of the Everton fanbase. What went wrong in these crucial final seven weeks, and how must the club address these glaring squad issues in a massive upcoming summer transfer window? #efc #EvertonFootballClub #EvertonFC Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.
