Have Everton found transfer alternative to Beto and Barry?
LISTEN IN FULL: https://tinyurl.com/3bv5288n
After the worst week so far at Hill Dickinson Stadium, Matt is joined by Adam and Foxy to assess the damage.
What approach to Everton take in the transfer window after being dumped out of the FA Cup? And what will that mean for Barry and Beto?
The fourth-kit fiasco is also slammed - well, at least by two of us - and we moan about VAR after the latest shambles in the League Cup.

Will Everton change transfer plans after Sunderland fiascos? | Byline 76
With Paddy still absent - last spotted in a Noosa drinking spot - Matt is joined by the Liverpool Echo’s Everton correspondent Joe Thomas this week.
We assess where the defeat to Sunderland leaves the team. Keep powder dry for the summer? Or chips in in the transfer market in the race for a European place?
The new fourth kit is also on the agenda. Should Everton play in anything other than royal blue at home?

Blue Monday - Are Everton suffering an identity crisis on and off the pitch?
What could have been a memorable week of football that saw Everton move up the table and progress in the FA Cup has turned out to be a disaster. On the pitch, the team looks devoid of ideas and players lack confidence, and the manager is once again dampening expectations. Off the pitch, some fans are struggling to adapt to the new surroundings, and the club released a navy and pink that will only be synonymous with another early FA Cup exit.
The timing of the (let's face it, needless) fourth kit couldn't have been worse, given comments from Tom Beahon, co-founder of Castore, who last week said: "We live in a capitalist society [not entirely true], if people couldn't afford it, those prices wouldn't be charged."
Les and Dave go in on all that and those horrific penalties. We'd love to know your thoughts on it all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
