BRENTFORD POST-MATCH: Safe With Time to Spare
Despite this being maybe the most trying season in Everton’s history, with turmoil at every step of the way, Everton have finally ensured safety with a 1-0 win vs. Brentford to make it 9 points in a single week at Goodison Park. It was a match that seemed improbable in many ways; from the long moments of possession, to the unlikely goal scorer, and ultimately, to the relatively low-stress environment thanks to the Luton Town loss earlier to Wolves. But what is NOT improbable, is the ATP bringing its loyal listeners all sort of humor from our discord as well as analysis from many of our other loyal listeners. James and Ryan get into the tactics, the individual performances, and finish with a solid referendum on Sean Dyche and the jobs he’s done under difficult circumstances. AND... BREATHE!

MERSEYSIDE DERBY POST-MATCH: Expect the Unexpected
Everton win the 244th Merseyside Derby by a score of 2-0!!! EFC's first Derby win at Goodison since 2010. Liverpool’s title chances dealt a near-fatal blow after Jarrad Branthwaite's first half scrambled goal was coupled by a thundering DCL header in the 2nd period of play. James and Alex are here for an old school ATP basking in the glory of 3 points and a hard-nosed, sp*rited display from Tracksuit Dyche's men. The guys of course discuss what was a rather frantic timeline, key in on some of the top performances including Pickford and Gana Gueye, and breathe a sigh of relief as the Blues have virtually ensured safety in the (corrupt) Premier League for our final season at Goodison. American Toffee Vibescast is here! Hope you all enjoy. UTFT LINKS: Intro: Steve Barkwill Production: James Boyman Outro: Kenboib

FOREST POST-MATCH: There May be Light Shining Through the Forest
After missing a match we’d all like to forget, the ATP Is back to capture all details of a 2-0 victory over Notts Forest in a massive weekend for Everton and its future. Alex and Ryan get into all the drama of a match where the VAR and xG Gods seemed to finally show favor to Everton. While the match wasn’t pretty, it definitely had its share of moments from bangers from distance to incidents of violence. We also bring in a ton of listener comments to talk about the lineup changes, the wildly inconsistent officiating of Anthony Taylor, the bizarre post-match Twitter response of Forest, and conclude with a bit of analysis of the relegation battle. We also hope everyone in enjoying Toffeefest in Chicago this weekend – wish we were there – and hope for the best for Beto.

BURNLEY POST-MATCH: DCL Deflection - Bella Ciao!
The inevitable finally happened – Everton get 3 points in a match with a victory over Burnley at Goodison Park.

The ATP explores some of the reasons for the lack of quality from the style of play to the conditions as well as Everton missing several key players. James and Ryan also get into a ton of listener comments, critique some dubious calls in the second half, and explore the relegation battle in a bit of detail by analyzing future schedules.

While maybe not deserved, Everton scrape together a much needed point with a 1-1 Tony Sampson special at Newcastle, and the ATP is here to bring you all the drama. From the pathetic on pitch officiating to the poor structure and organization of the Toffees, at times it felt like it wasn’t meant to be until it was. James and Ryan get into some of the reasons for the poor performance for much of the game, get into the singular individual performance that kept Everton in it, as well as the changes that helped Everton get the draw. Are the football and VAR gods finally shining some light on Everton? Do we finally have some reasons to be optimistic? The dynamic duo and their loyal listeners give their takes!

After getting a well needed 3-week break, the not-so revitalized Toffees were back at it again today with a 1-2 loss vs. the Cherries in Bournemouth. While the result was probably undeserved, the performance also wasn’t anything to brag about as it was a sloppy affair, albeit one not lacking its share of controversy.

The penalty gods took revenge on finally giving a penalty for Everton last week and two big mistakes lead to a 2-0 loss vs. United in Manchester. The ATP is at full force with Alex, James, and Ryan trying to analyze what was a very frustrating performance from the Toffees. They get into the clear difference in halves, highlight a few positive performances, but otherwise take the rest of the team to task for individual mistakes. They also ask the question about how much of the results are the fault of the manager and what Everton can do to right the ship during an extended break likely away from England.

BRIGHTON POST-MATCH: Dunk Disrupts the Smash & Grab
Despite being on the back foot for the majority of the match, Jarrad Branthwaite's brilliant finish had Toffees worldwide hoping for our first win of 2024. Optimistic feelings were bolstered after Billy Gilmour was shown a straight red for a shocking challenge on Amadou Onana. Instead, it's now 4 draws in 5 matches for Everton, after Lewis Dunk's stoppage-time header brought the hosting Brighton level today at the AmEx Stadium. James and Ryan break down the match per usual, examining the relative weakness of Brighton's lineup, EFC's ongoing ineptitude from open play, atrocious refereeing (AGAIN), and the merits of "packing it in" to preserve a lead. As always, some insightful listener comments help drive the dialogue as the Blues finish the day 1 point outside the drop zone, still waiting for news on the points deduction appeal.

While it’s fair to ask "when will those clouds all disappear?" and it’s obvious there’s no money in Everton’s coats, the Toffees still managed to get a point from a match at Goodison and might’ve deserved more vs. Ange and his rolling Spurs.
