Post-Game: New Year, same old Everton as 2019 begins with lifeless defeat to Leicester City

It may be a New Year, but there was no reversal in Everton’s fortunes this afternoon.

The Blues went down to a 1-0 defeat to Leicester City to extend their winless run at Goodison Park to four matches

It also meant they have now lost five of their last eight, both home and away, a run that includes the draws with Newcastle United and Watford, and that Boxing Day win at Burnley, which sadly is looking like an aberration in what is a worrying slide.

It is a slide that is discussed in detail by Tom Clarke, who gives us the view from the stands, and who also talks the feeling among the fan base about manager Marco Silva, who probably for the first time in his short reign, is facing some tough questions.

And it is with the Everton manager that we start this podcast as we hear every word he had to say after the match.
