A belated posting of the X (formerly Twitter) Spaces hosted by Shan & Ryan following Everton's 0-2 defeat at Goodison Park to Man City. Accompanied by a number of guests, the guys discuss a number of different topics:

• Impact of injuries on Everton's strategy,
• Future prospects for player development and potential transfers
• Challenges and opportunities facing the team in the summer transfer window.
• The performance of strikers, particularly focusing on DCL's future.
• Disappointment in current performances
• Contract negotiations
• The emotional significance of the farewell to Goodison Park.
• The need for strategic signings to enhance the squad and reflect on memorable moments at the historic stadium.

Huge thanks to all who contributed!

PRODUCER'S NOTE: Apologies for the delay in getting this up, and for the inconsistent recording schedule over the last few weeks.

In this episode, James and Shan reflect on their experience at Toffee Fest 2025 in San Diego, discussing the vibrant atmosphere, the weekend's activities, and of course, Everton's dramatic 1-0 victory vs Nottingham Forest.

This episode represents a slight departure from the Blue Frontier's normal post-match episodes, with a more relaxed look at the game with a focus on the experience of a last-minute victory surrounded by fellow Blues. The guys highlight the team's growing confidence and strategic approach under manager David Moyes, the community engagement at Toffee Fest, reflections on Everton's rich history, and the excitement surrounding upcoming matches.

Producer's Note: Thanks for indulging us on a different format this weekend, we expected to be able to record more content, but the San Diego & NA Toffees put forward a weekend full of activities!

Many thanks to all who helped organize, to Matt Clevy for being a legendarily tall chauffeur and awesome person, to Darren Stuart and David France for being excellent guest speakers, the San Diego Loyal for hosting us at their tailgate, and all the amazing Toffees we had the pleasure of meeting! We'll be back to regularly scheduled programming soon enough.

After a long wait for another post-match, the Blue Frontier is back after Everton’s gritty 1-0 loss to Liverpool in the 246th Merseyside Derby. The trio is fired up and ready to go through what was a somewhat lackluster (albeit competitive) loss at Anfield.

In this episode, they break down all the tactics and matchups, as well as discuss the more memorable moments such as from Vitaliy Mykolenko’s masterclass against Mo Salah, to Beto’s near-miss heroics, and James Tarkowski’s thunderous tackle sparking red-card debates. Tactical insights shine as they analyze Everton’s defensive resilience, Liverpool’s attacking edge, and the frustrating VAR calls that left Toffee fans fuming.

James, Shan, and Ryan also give their take on some of other individual performances and what’s next for the Toffees as they enter into a difficult April calendar. The guys thank you all again for your listener comments via the discord and social media.

Everton’s new era under The Friedkin Group is starting to take shape, and The Blue Frontier crew is here to break it all down. In this episode, James, Ryan, and Shan take a deep dive into the appointment of Angus Kinnear as CEO-in-waiting. What does his tenure at Leeds United tell us about his vision for Everton? With a strong background in commercial growth and a different approach to football operations, Kinnear’s arrival raises major questions about the club’s recruitment strategy, its evolving structure, and the long-term sustainability of this model.

The team analyzes his past decisions, his views on PSR, and the delay in his start date—plus, how his leadership could shape Everton’s future alongside David Moyes. They also examine the financial realities of modern football, the role of a director of football, and the risks and rewards of moving away from existing recruitment structures. With insights from The Square Ball and Paddy Boyland (thanks to both for the fantastic source material), this is an in-depth look at the biggest off-pitch story at Everton right now.

Is this the bold move Everton needs, or are the Toffees taking a massive gamble?

The full crew is reunited on this episode of The Blue Frontier to dig into Everton's 1-1 draw at home to West Ham, extending their unbeaten run to 9 matches. Ryan, James and Shan dig into the phases of the game, from a stalemate of a first half, to WHU gaining traction to start the 2nd, to Moyes' successful triple sub that put Jake O'Brien in position to thump home the equalizer, the second time in three games he’s rescued a point for the Toffees.

Moyes faced his previous club for the first time since leaving West Ham, and the pod brings you all the details of the fantastic Everton goal, as well as all the analysis in what was a very tactical match. From strange West Ham team construction and the key matchups to the data insights that highlight the difference in the results. The guys then discuss potential lineups going forward and what this Everton team might look like in the next match for what could be a difficult April schedule for Everton.

Everton escaped their trip to Molineux with a 1-1 draw against Wolves, bringing their unbeaten run to 8 games in the league, something David Moyes has not achieved as a manager since his OG spell leading the Blues. James and Shan are here to dissect the (admittedly) less-than-thrilling match which saw both goals scored within a 7 minute spell in the first half. They of course have to mention the absence of Cunha, as it wasn't mentioned enough elsewhere in the media. But they also dig into all the other major moments, including Moyes' different approach to the substitutions, Andre nearly headbutting Stuart Attwell, and much more. Our listener input and comments really shine in this episode as the guys continue to come to terms with secure Premier League safety with 10 matches still to play.
