Byline 73 - How do you rate the Friedkin Group's first year at Everton?
Matt and Paddy look at the future of Dwight McNeil after his return to the starting XI on Saturday night. There are reports that Sean Dyche is keen to sign the out-of-favour winger, but can Everton afford to let him or go? Or is there no way they can turn down a decent offer?
Harrison Armstrong’s future could be impacted by any approach. David Moyes seems to be softening in his stance on a potential recall in January.
We start the show with an anniversary though. It’s been a year since the Friedkin Group took full control of the Blues. What has gone well and what could be better from their first year?

Instant Reaction - Everton 0-1 Arsenal
Matt and Dave take a look back at the 1-0 loss to Arsenal at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Why were the Blues so poor in attack? Should Everton have had a penalty after Saliba’s foul on Barry? Should Dibling start at Burnley?

Byline 72 - What is really going on with Tyler Dibling?
Ending three hexes in three weeks wasn’t doable for Everton. Stamford Bridge remains the least happiest of all their Premier League hunting grounds.
Matt and Paddy assess some of the collateral damage from that defeat. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish have picked up injuries at the worst possible time for the Toffees, with Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gueye now off to Africa Cup of the Nations.
We take a closer look at Tyler Dibling’s peculiar situation ahead of what will be a big month for him and look at James Garner’s contract situation after he and Moyes played down rumours an agreement was imminent.
