View from the Gwladys Street: Leadership, Pickford and the Barkley question

With the dust having settled on Everton’s needless defeat at Newcastle United, the View from the Gwladys Street podcast returns, hosted by Paul Wheelock, featuring big Evertonians Rob Astell, Connor O’Neill and debutant Anthony McEllin, and listener questions submitted on our Royal Blue Facebook page (click HERE to join). The panel sift through the wreckage of St James’ Park, lament the lack of leaders in this current Everton team and wonder what portion of the blame manager Marco Silva – and the officials – should take for the collapse. A lot of focus centres on the performance of Jordan Pickford and his difficult second season at Goodison Park. Richarlison’s form is called into question, too. But there are positives, namely a blossoming partnership that has Rob recalling one of the Blues’ best, and the predictions for Chelsea, which will see the first return to L4 of a certain Ross Barkley.
