Stateside musings and coverage of Everton FC, brought to you by Alex Johnson, James Boyman, and Ryan Williams. LINKS: linktr.ee/usatoffeepod

Available Episodes 10

An early Derby day brings the full power trio together to bring you all the drama from a 2-0 Toffee loss at Liverpool.  Alex, James, and Ryan give their takes along with listeners on all the drama – the red card, the lack of red card, Craig Pawson’s performance, the tactical switch to 531, and the overall Everton performance.  The ATP also tries to look at how much of this is Dyche’s tactical setup and personnel decisions vs. individual performances.  They also take a hard listen and look at Sean Dyche’s post-match comments and some of the ridiculous language that constitutes the FA Rulebook.

James is not longer in Liverpool, therefore Everton win. In the sunshine at Goodison Park, the Toffees matched their highest goal output of season and kept a clean sheet for the first time this campaign. 

Alex and James are here for a bit of a throwback to the OG pod (though they both miss Ryan dearly), going through the customary instant reactions, lineups, tactics, and main moments of an enjoyable victory. They then discuss the changes to the midfield forced upon Dyche, the emergence of Jack Harrison, Onana's quality, and a strong performance from our #9. 

Wrapping the show with a number of insightful listener comments, it's clear the fanbase are reveling in the victory. We hope you enjoy the recap!

First of all, Happy Birthday to James Boyman and congratulations for representing the ATP well in a 2-1 loss at Goodison to Luton Town.  As a result, Alex and Ryan hold down the pod this week and discuss how big of a loss this is, where we thought Everton went wrong, and what this side could look like in the future.  Lots of listener comments this week with emphasis on Sean Dyche’s role and whether or not the adjustments he made - Gana off, 2 CFs, Patterson for Young, Danjuma for McNeil - were the right ones today.  But most importantly, thank you James for bringing your good luck and charm to Goodison as you definitely made an impact.

Everton tonight advanced to the 4th round of the Carabao Cup with a 2-1 win at Villa Park and the ATP is happy to bring our loyal listeners all the details.  It was a tremendous performance against a side that had won 10 straight at home against all competitions and Alex and Ryan bring you all details as to how Everton pulled it off.  Per usual, the duo mix in some tactical analysis, a bit of data, and a ton of listener comments.  The ATP then close with a discussion on how Dyche and the Toffees can go forward as well as wish James best of luck on his travels to Goodison this upcoming weekend.

Some might find it hard to believe, but Everton finally won a game of football, and did so in convincing fashion away from home! The 1-3 victory at Brentford is our first of the season and sees the Toffees to 15th in the table. Goals from Doucoure, Tarkowski, and DCL marked a superb team performance.

James and Ryan bring you full recap of all the main moments as well as a tactical breakdown of how Sean Dyche got the better of Thomas Frank. They discuss the decision to bring James Garner in for Danjuma, Dwight McNeil finding fitness and form, and the midfield trio's strong showing controlling the middle of the field.

The ATP does their deep dive into the situation at Everton football club and most importantly the prospects of 777 buying out Farhad Moshiri.  Alex, James, Ryan go through not just the financial perils of Everton football club, but take a look at what we know about the viability of 777 as a business as well as a football club owner.  While we pride ourselves on our original research, we want to credit the JOSIMAR article by Paul Brown and Philippe Auclair as well as the article on onemileatatime.com by Ben Schlappig.

The full power trio is here to bring you all action (or lack thereof) from a 1-0 loss vs. Arsenal at Goodison.  While Everton have had considerable success against the Gunners at Goodison in recent times, it was not to be as Everton were outdone by a terrific goal by Leandro Trossard.  The ATP gets into the central debate of the match as to whether or not the style of play is at fault or if it’s instead the individual performances.  Alex, James, and Ryan also take a ton of listener comments and talk about a wide range of topics that eventually devolves into strange commentary on life in Colorado vs. Maine as well as the merit of Taco Bell, Rib-eyes, and authentic Mexican food.

In a choppy and uneven affair, the ATP brings you all the highs and lows of a 2-2 draw at Sheffield that brings the Toffee’s their first point and goals of the season.  The Duo of Alex and Ryan get into the details in terms of the tactics and the big moments aided by a ton of listener comments.  They also take a look at all the positional units now that the window is over and who we expect to come out of international break in the starting XI.  They also give their thoughts on how much of Everton’s results are the fault of Sean Dyche and if he’s on the hotseat or not.  Thanks again for your continued support!

The FULL ATP is back to bring our loyal listeners all the heartbreak of a decent Everton performance that resulted in a crushing late goal loss to Wolves at Goodison. Thankfully Alex, James, and Ryan are aided by a bunch of excellent listener comments as they attempt to balance out the feelings of panic and optimism throughout the episode. The power trio also talks about the MSP deal failure, the Impending arrival for Udinese CF Beto (Norberto), and break down the match in full tactical detail as usual.  If you want balance and rational thought, the ATP does not disappoint this week.

Alex picked the right match to be on vacation as James and Ryan are left to try and make sense of a 4-0 drubbing by Aston Villa in Birmingham.  A combination of individual mistakes and a tactical mismatch led to Unai Emery’s side embarrassing the Toffees in some almost hard-to-believe ways.  The ATP breaks down the reasons for the one-sided affair as well as goes thru the individual mistakes that led to the goals and general poor play.  The dynamic duo then talk through the glaring needs that remain in the side from our Team Assessment and whether or not we think Everton can address those needs by the end of the window.
