Summary
It’s the Merseyside Derby this weekend! Which naturally means Clo and Rach have roped in Everton (and Ireland) number one, Courtney Brosnan!
Courtney takes us inside Everton’s injury-hit season, the impact of fresh investment at the club, and what Brian Sørenson is building with this team.
Elsewhere, she and Clo obviously get into the nitty-gritty of what it really takes to be a goalkeeper at this level, while Rach of course gets the lowdown on all things Ireland! And yes, Courtney does reveal what it’s like coming up against international teammates in a huge club fixture like this...

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Upfront. I'm Chloe Morgan. |
| 0:05.2 | And I'm Rachel O'Sullivan. |
| 0:06.6 | Ahead of the Merseyside Derby this weekend, |
| 0:09.3 | Rachel and I thought it was the perfect time to check in |
| 0:11.5 | when none other than Everton's goalkeeper, Courtney Brosnan. |
| 0:15.4 | Courtney's been at the club for four years now |
| 0:17.4 | and she's well and truly established herself as their number one, |
| 0:20.2 | playing over 70 games for Everton across the WSL, FA Cup and League Cup. And on the international stage, |
| 0:27.0 | Courtney is just as experienced. Since making her Republic of Ireland debut in 2020, she's |
| 0:31.8 | become a vital figure for the Girls in Green. We're about to dive into all of that from her |
| 0:36.6 | perspective on Everton's eventful season |
| 0:38.6 | to how Courtney has navigated the highs and lows of international football with Ireland. So, |
| 0:43.9 | let's get into it. Welcome to the pod, Courtney. It's so lovely to have you on. I know we always have tech issues and we're so, so glad.

Appreciate you spending your time with us and giving up your time away from the sticks to kind of let us know how |
| 1:11.1 | the season's been going. Obviously the first half of the season, pretty brutal. Back in November, |
| 1:17.4 | Everton obviously bottom of the table without a win. But then you beat this weekend's opponents, |
| 1:21.5 | Liverpool 1-0 and form really picked up after that. And now you're sat in in eighth. What's sort of changed Everton's |
| 1:28.4 | fortunes in the past, in the past, or recent weeks? Yeah, I think obviously we had a slower |
| 1:34.2 | start to the season than we would have liked, but I think something that we're really good at |
| 1:39.1 | here is we have a lot of principles and a style of play that we want to play. So I think, obviously, |
| 1:44.1 | sometimes that takes time to come. So I think obviously sometimes that |
| 1:44.7 | takes time to come together. But if you keep working towards that and obviously you're doing the |
| 1:49.0 | right things day in and day out, I think we all really believe that the results would eventually |
