Royal Blue: Another League Cup chance wasted, Gomes concerns, and bouncing back against the Blades

This is not the podcast we wanted to record but record it we must as Dave Prentice, Connor O’Neill and Gavin Buckland join host Sam Carroll to pick the bones out of last night’s 2-0 Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester United at Goodison Park. From Everton’s start to the match to the difference in quality between the respective squads, and from the performance of the officials to concerns over Andre Gomes, it’s all here in detail as the panel look back over another chance of League Cup glory wasted. But it’s Christmas Eve, so let’s end on a positive note, and the little fact of the matter that the Blues could go as high as second in the Premier League with victory at struggling Sheffield United on Boxing Day. Prenno, Connor, Gav and Sam preview that game, and wonder what changes Carlo Ancelotti can make, as well as giving their usual score predictions.
