Post-Game: View from the pressbox and the stands after Everton lose to West Ham United

We were hoping to kick off this new show by talking about a second victory of the season for the Blues. Instead, we will be reflecting on their first defeat of the campaign.                       

Two goals from Andriy Yarmolenko – it just had to be – put West Ham United in control at Goodison Park before Gylfi Sigurdsson gave Everton hope.

But that hope was extinguished by Marko Arnautovic and while the Hammers and Manuel Pellegrini were left to celebrate a first win of the season, Marco Silva and the Blues were left with plenty to ponder.

This podcast kicks off with the thoughts of our full-time Everton FC correspondent Phil Kirkbride.

You’ll then hear from season ticket holder Ian Croll, who also hosts our View from the Gwladys Street podcast.

There will two Royal Blue shows this week, along with a View from the Gwladys Street, before this podcast returns after next Sunday’s trip to Arsenal.

Here’s hoping for a better outcome.
