Royal Blue: What next for Morgan Schneiderlin and how Goodison Park must be for the Merseyside derby

It's your pre-Merseyside derby Royal Blue podcast with host Phil Kirkbride and regular guests Adam Jones, Gavin Buckland and Sam Carroll.

But before the panel get stuck into Sunday's massive match, they talk the confidence-boosting win at Cardiff City and what it means for Marco Silva.

The Blues boss sprung a surprise by recalling Morgan Schneiderlin to his starting line-up but the midfielder justified that decision.

That leads to the questions: Why hasn't Schneiderlin started sooner? Can he still have a future at the club? And are we all going over the top given it was 'only' Cardiff?

Adam, Gav and Sam tackle them before thoughts turn to the visit of Liverpool to Goodison Park, Jurgen Klopp's 'World Cup final' comment, Silva's response to it, the atmosphere needed in the ground, and the big factor in Everton's favour.

The second half of the podcast is dedicated to answering questions submitted by Evertonians at our first-ever Royal Blue Live event earlier in the week that Phil and the rest of the panel didn't quite get around to answering.

Topics include the search for a new striker, Silva's future and Farhad Moshiri.

Enjoy.
