Royal Blue: FA Cup salvation, Cenk Tosun's struggles, and the difficult Idrissa Gueye question Everton may have to answer

So Everton are on the road to Wembley.

But there's no doubt they made it harder work than it should've been in beating Lincoln City at Goodison on Saturday.

However, does it matter?

That's the question Phil Kirkbride, Dave Prentice and Gavin Buckland ask to kick off the first Royal Blue podcast of the week.

The panel also assess the 'reward' for knocking out Lincoln and why a trip to the Den could actually be a better tie than it appears on paper.

With Everton now well off the pace for a top-six Premier League place, Phil, Dave and Gav discuss Michael Ball's hard-hitting ECHO column in which the former defender makes it clear the FA Cup now should be the club's sole priority.

But do the Blues have what it takes to win the cup? Especially if they end the transfer window without signing another striker?

This time last year Evertonians were hoping that Cenk Tosun would be the the man to replace the departed Romelu Lukaku.

But Tosun's struggles continued after coming off the bench against Lincoln and Phil, Dave and Gav wonder what's gone wrong for the £25m man.

And they also indulge in a bit of transfer gossip and what Everton should do if Paris Saint-Germain follow up their reported interest in Idrissa Gueye.

Enjoy.
