 Welcome to Toffy TV, here's the player ratings, Everton 1, Southampton 2, hugely, hugely disappointing afternoon at Gooderson Park. Yeah, just absolutely, absolutely crap, wasn't it? To be honest, I'm not really angry, I haven't really been angry all afternoon. I think it's just that there's just a sadness now with this event team. There's just a sadness that surrounds the club. There's a whole, I just felt, I felt sad all day, I felt sad that the situation we're in. I feel sad that the fans have to do what they do. And yeah, it was just crap, it was just a crap day. The fans were magnificent, just got to say that, they were magnificent all day. Bush welch on them during the game. And then, you know, obviously people have stayed behind at the end and made their feelings known in a very, I don't know what the way it is, but they've done it in the right way. And it was just dreadful. The game is a dreadful game, two very, very poor sides, basically just kicking the ball to each other for 90 minutes. They had the touch equality in the goal scorer. And we are where we are. We are, you know, bottom three, 15 points the same as the other two teams with a horrendous one of fixtures coming up. We've literally just gone through the best one of fixtures we've had all season in terms of the teams we've played. We've played the bottom two twice and been beaten twice by them. And next week we'll go to Westam. And I don't know whether if something will be said beforehand about Frank Lambert, whether he's sacked or whatever, but you imagine him and him or David Moyes, if they both make it that far, that would be their last game heading into, certainly for us, a break the week after and then into, you know, whether we've brought anyone in bad end player wise. Just there's such a lack of quality in this team. The team huffed and puffed today. I've seen something early on about Conor and Conor called, he was saying the thing called saying that we try, we try. I don't, I have no real issue with the players trying or saying the trying. I do think they're trying. They're just not good enough. These players are just not good enough. It's as simple as that. And you can, the worst thing about that is, is that you can, you can accuse players of not trying and then you bring in a new manager and stuff. And you will get a reaction. I still think the players are trying. I still think they're giving, genuinely, most of them are giving everything for the manager. That's the worry. That is the real worry. Of course, a new manager will come in and he will change things round. And let's be honest, a new manager is probably overdue now, but you know, we can't, we can't sit here and, and, and pretend that Frank Lampard's not part of the problem. He is part of the problem is, I mean, today he's made two subs and, you know, you got, you can use five subs and he's used two and the, you know, the reactions of them, you know, something changed, tried to change the game. They scored the goal just after half time. They wanted to win. You could see that they had quite a few chances in the first half, close calls. They, I wouldn't say they were the better team, but they looked, they looked like they, they had an idea in the head, in their heads on what they wanted to do and they went for it. It was just sad, really, really sad. And this club is just dying and the people who run it just don't seem to understand that is dying. This club is dying. And I know a lot of people think, oh, you know, going over the top or someone said before, we're still only, still only a win from being out of the bottom four or three, sorry. And today at one nil, we were 14 and all these things, that's great, great. Not in the forest, the winning games, you know, Dave put a few performances together recently. Wolves won. Borma for getting beat us. Dave probably won now that you look at as being one, you want to be in the bottom three, but these teams are starting to pick up points. They're starting to buy players. We're not, we're not buying players. We're skint. We can't, we can't buy players. It's evidence. It's evidence that we are in FFP wise. We are in a, we are still struggling. Things have to change massively. And I just, I don't know whether they will change. That's the mad thing. I don't know whether they will change. They were obviously no one was there today to witness what happened. And I understand why, you know, the points of why they said they weren't there. Which again, yeah, okay. I get, I understand your reasons of why you said the board's not there and the, the, the, you know, the things that were said, but if something really happened, and I'm not saying whether it did or wouldn't did, whether it didn't, why did it? Why did we find out today? Why did we find out today that something had happened to the CEO? Why wasn't it public knowledge beforehand and why, why were the police not involved? Or why did we not hear about this sooner? Why did it come out the morning of a game when there was going to be a protest? Why, why did that happen? Is it to turn it back on the fans? Is it three times this has happened now? The manager started on boxing day. I said it, people said it wasn't real. It was real. Fad Masheri in the week said we, we got all these managers sat, we. And today they've, today they've said that they thought there was a threat. Now listen, I'm lucky. I can't say whether they're telling the truth or not. Although I do find head someone saying they were putting a headlock unbelievably, just strange. But to say it on the day of a game is a way, a way of causing for me more trouble to turn the fan base on itself again, because the fan base is the only thing the club's got going for it and it wants it to turn on itself. It's, it's so weird, very, very weird. I know, listen, I know not every single person stayed in the ground today because I know that's not saying people's way of doing things. I wish everyone had stayed in the ground, but, but there was still quite a few people in the ground 10, 15 minutes after the final whistle went. There's still people in all four steps stands. I know the Gladys Street again. That's where most people stayed. I know there's a big good poker in the parking. It was absolutely freezing. I'll give you that, but people did stay. They might have stayed all the way till hour five and it might have just been a hardcore. You know, same people who go home and away and same people that sort of tells all the banners and that kind of thing. I get, but when is the, when is the message going to get through? When is the message going to get through to the media that this club is just an absolute mess? When are they going to start asking the right questions? When are they going to ask the questions that need to be asked because they don't? Godless scumet on the superchatter. Southampton fan here. Not here to gloat. Don't, not worried if you did mate. We know what it's like having incompetent owners and I wouldn't wish anyone for you for you guys. Thanks mate. That's, that's a lovely gesture. Lovely gesture. Thank you for the superchatter. No, I'm not bothered if the opposition fans come here and gloat or not. We are a mess. We are a shitter. We know what the situation is. We know. We know what's going on with our own football club. It's, I don't know. I don't know what we do. I don't know what the club are going to do. I don't know what, what's going to happen in the next few days. I don't know whether they're going to sack Frank Lampard. I don't know what, whether any of them are going to have the bollocks to stand down. I don't know. I mean, I mean, surely something like Game Sharp should be considered in this position. Surely, surely he should be looking at it and thinking, I don't need this. I am, I've got, I love this football club. I can't, I can't sit here and be part of this. Surely Bill Kenwright as an Evertonian should be thinking right, I can't be part of this anymore. The people have spoken, the people have spoken and they, they want me to give this job to somebody else, this opportunity to somebody else. I just don't get it. I don't get how we can be, just do, I just don't get how these people can look at the situation and think that it's fine because it's not, it's just not fine. And also there's a weird thing at the game today. There's a weird like atmosphere and the people were getting like overly searched out on the way in and then they were checking tickets on the way up the stairs and all these kinds of things. Very, very strange putting fans at odds straight away. Very, very strange. Let me do the play writing because I know that's what you're here for or maybe not. I don't know. Jordan Pickford, I've given him a seven. Yeah, it made a great say from world prowess. In the first half, I thought he was all right or dead. The free kick, I don't know. I've looked, I've just watched the free kick about four times. I don't know about the wall place and that's the only thing and I'm not a goalkeeper and I'll speak to a goalkeeper on Monday about this because we've got one coming in for the final word. The way the wall was placed could that being placed better and I don't think there's anything he can do on that side of the wall. But could the wall have been in a better place? Sitting where I'm sitting, I just don't know. Some people will say that's an incredible free kick and some people will say I look at it and I think that's a great free kick. I really do. I really do. I think it's an incredible free kick. I don't know what he could have done apart from the wall. I don't know. It's an incredible free kick because our wall jumps and he's supposed to, the thing about it was right with free kicks. I'm not an expert but the wall goes on one side and the goalie goes on the other. Did he place the wall in the right place? I don't know. I don't think, I think that's an incredible free kick. I really do. It looks rubbish from our point of view but what powers has hit an incredible free kick there for me? All right, I'll give him a six and a half then. Stop being bitchy. I thought he was fine. Some people look at the free kick and say it's terrible and some people might tell me it was terrible. I honestly thought it was a brilliant free kick. I honestly did. I thought it was an absolutely fantastic free kick. That's just my opinion. Other people might have a different opinion. That's fine. I have no problem with that. I thought it was a brilliant free kick. As I said, the wall has to stand on one side and the goalkeeper normally takes the other side. I'll give him a six then. I'll give him a six. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if it's a great free kick or it's a, all I would say is right. Now when you take a free kick or when you set a free kick up, you have a wall and you have the goalkeeper. So what powers has done that lots of times? Maybe he's a fault for the wall, the free, the wall I'd say for maybe the placement of the wall. But I honestly don't know what he, it just goes up and down. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. I've looked at it a couple of times. To me, it's just a great free kick, but there you go. Seamus Coleman. He was all right. Didn't really offer too much. He just didn't really do anything. Didn't really get forward that much. I thought he was okay. Didn't really, as I said, it's not always easy to judge players when they're not massively in games. He was, I think he was fine. I'll give him a six. Mikhalenko, not good enough. I think more and more people are waking up to the fact that he's not good enough. I think we all tried to convince ourselves that he was good enough because he was taken over from someone, taken over from someone that people really liked and with everything going on. I think we all tried to convince ourselves that he's a good player. He's not. Mikhalenko's nowhere near good enough. He's nowhere near good enough for us as I started left back. Seamus Coleman's not as I started left back. I'll give him a little bit of sway, but Mikhalenko is just not good enough. He's terrible going forward. I mean, because he made one great run against Man City, I'm suddenly supposed to think he's great. He's not. He's not. He doesn't offer anything and he's not even that good a defender. In my eyes, I'll give him a four because he did occasionally something in defence. I just don't think he's good enough. I think players like him are why we are where we are because we replace good players like Dean who offer something. Okay, they have the faults. I appreciate that, but we replace them with players who don't offer anything. Dean made goals, scored three kicks now and again, decent delivery, set-piece delivery, but he created goals. This fella doesn't do anything and we've deluded ourselves and we've been deluding ourselves for a very long time as Anatolians that the players we bring in are good because they play for us and they're not. They're not good players and he is a key example of that and you know what? It's not personal. It's just true. It's just not a good player. So I'll give him a four. Ben Godfrey got injured in the first 30 seconds, then yeah, got turned inside out for their first goal. He was alright. He made some good runs forward. Not brilliant, but he made some good runs, but defensively I still think he's got a lot, got a lot to it laying in his game. He's got a lot to do going forward. I'll give him a five and a half because I think he gets done big time for their second goal. So there you go. Conor Cody. Yeah, again, you know what you're going to get from him. You know what you're going to get from James Tarkowski? They're just they're dependable in a certain way of playing. Today they just did what they normally do. Apart from Tarkowski a couple of times was a little bit stupid jumping into players rather than leaving and going for the ball. Sorry. They just, they haven't got pace after these. So it leaves, it leaves you in a situation where it leaves you in a situation where you need to have cover. And we've basically been found out. Someone just mentioned their spot on. If you are going to play four at the back, play Godfrey left back again. They just, as I said, Tarkowski and Conor Cody are just, they are a certain type of defender, which we thought, we thought we were going to need this year in terms of like backs against the wall, solid, can organise. But the way the, and that was all right, Taylor, on the season, but the way, the way the season's gone on. Someone just said apparently they're last ditch defenders. They are. So it's difficult to get your team going and then you're allowing shots and sometimes those shots go in or you're allowing space. Um, yeah, give them both five and a half. Um, Ghana, part of the game was all right. He was winning tackles and then just giving the ball away too much. And that's what it, it can be so frustrating. I understand people get frustrated with Ghana a lot, but today I found it massively frustrating winning the ball back and then giving it, winning the ball and giving it away. And it was just massively frustrating to see, just putting us back in trouble. It's just you do something good. Give the ball to a better player and go and give him, give him a five. And I, oh Nana, I'm going to do oh Nana. I think he had his best game at Goodlison today. I thought he played well at Old Trafford. And this might have been his best game in his proper position. Got a goal. Some, won some good tackles, ran with the ball as well, which was really encouraging seeing him pick the ball and run with the ball. Um, could be such a big player. Second half of the season could be such a big player. If Everton have got, have got, if they want any chance of getting away from the bottom three. And I mean that, what do you know Nana, could be a massive part of that. I thought he was really good today. He's good to see him get his first goal. There was no sort of fake, his, you know, given it all that. It was mind on the game, done his job really, really did, um, have something, done something for us in midfield. Um, and hopefully second half of the season we see more and more of him. So he done well today. Um, give him an eight. That's cause he scored as well. So that's got to, hopefully that he keeps that, keep him in the number six, whoever's the manager. And, um, yeah, I think, I think there's a player there. I think there's a, I think we've seen that in the last couple of games. There is a definitely a player in no Nana. Definitely man of the match today. A woe be, eh, come back from the, from the injury last week, looked like he hadn't trained all week. Wasn't great. Um, again, final ball, poor, um, up, you know. Yeah, give him a five. The Mali Craig started okay in the first half, picking the ball out, running at them, and then just faded out of the game to be honest. Just faded out the game in the second half. So he got stuck playing on the left hand side where he's faced off when he was central. He was, he was, he was doing all right, picking the ball up and running at them. That was his, that's his best position when he's got that free roll. Um, yeah, just went out the game second half, give him a five. Donald Carver losing a couple of moments, the one that took the deflection in the bar. Um, there was one on the left hand side, second half when he beat the lad in him and then got it into the box. Um, I've trained that just on a woe be, silly well I remember. He did have a, he had won that and it's not going to change his goal, but he was unlucky with the neffet and just after we'd scored the first one when we had our tails up and then after that we stopped playing. Um, but Dom, Dom didn't do anything. Still doesn't look, doesn't look anywhere near fit enough, but what I would say is we've got to get more players around them. We've got to get more players around Donald Carver losing if we want more out of him. Well, you know, he still doesn't look fresh. This is a player who just hasn't played a lot of football in the last year, year and a half and we've got to get more players around them to get more out of them and more crosses into the box, not enough crosses into the box to try and get them on the end or something. Um, I've given him a four, so there you go. Um, subs, two subs. Gordon, well number one he gives the ball away, gives the free kick away for the goal, which is just stupid, absolute wrong side of playing and gives the free kick away. Why are you doing that? Why are you doing that when you know he's a good free kick taker? I thought going forward he was, he was rubbish as well, if I'm perfectly honest. I thought going forward he was terrible. Um, yeah, he just to me didn't do anything. I'm just, I find it, I still find it absolutely baffling that we didn't take the money that Chelsea offered us. I find it absolutely baffling that we didn't take that money. It's just, and don't be even thinking about giving them a new contact. He's absolutely nowhere near a new contact. Just if an offer comes in this month to sell them, he's nowhere near, he's nowhere near what we, what we need to save us. I've given him a two, I thought he was terrible. I thought he was terrible. Um, and Sims, come on, didn't really do, have too much to do. Um, never, I think maybe I've had one or two touches. He didn't really offer anything. Um, I think he should have been on earlier. I think he should have been on before they scored their goal. I think he should have been on, on at one, one. Um, the manager hasn't done that. So, and then we pay the price as we always seem to do. Um, but I've given Sims four for running around a bit. Just not good enough. A couple of super chats, Ricky Keynes has absolutely lost. What are we? Well, what we are is a relegation threatened team. Ricky, that's what we are. We're very, very much one of the worst three teams in the Premier League. Very, you watch that display today. We were terrible and we're playing the team now. We're bottom of the league. We played Wolves. They were bottom of the league and we were terrible on that day. And next weekend might be the weekend that we, we hit rock bottom. And I, I don't think we've got enough to get even get out of, to be the bottom team. I genuinely think we are the bottom, one of the worst teams in the Premier League. Um, Mad says there are so many good managers out there, Pochettino, Tushall and many good players on a free. Um, what is the board doing? I don't know, mate. I don't know. I don't know what they're doing. I honestly haven't got a clue what they're doing. What they need to do is just, is walk away and let someone else run this club now. Um, I don't think they will. I think Bill Cairn might be the catalyst for that. If he loves the club, then let it go, as they say. Um, Jack says Will Frank be sacked even though Mishiri's backed him? Well, Mishiri last year backed Rapha Benitez on the Friday and sacked him on the Sunday after we got beat by Norwich. So the club is rudderless. It's absolutely rudderless at the moment. It doesn't feel like there's, you know, any, any leadership in the club that doesn't seem like there's any leadership on the pitch, but they certainly doesn't seem like there's any leadership in the club whatsoever. Um, and it's, it's just, it's just, um, it's just sad. And as I said, I'm not, I'm not necessarily angry because I've been angry for a very, very long time. I'm, I'm just sad. I'm sad at the situation within because we've seen it all coming. 12 months ago, we've seen it coming. You know, we sat, we knew 12 months ago what the situation is going to be. Has anything really changed? No, apart from bringing in a new manager and having, you know, fans have all the blue smoke and everything. And ultimately, like, you know, you know, I was thinking about it before and the people said, how are you going to do a bush welcome? It's like, it's, it's not, this is not even like, well, in January, it's not a particular big game. I know it was a big game because we were playing the team in another relegation team, but that's where we are now. I think that's where we are. So these games have become big games because, because we're so bad and feel like to have like a bush welcome and all this kind of thing, to need that or feel you need it. Because I feel like the fans need to feel, or almost like, no, we are playing our part. That's why Jordan, the game today, there was no chance of sack the board, by the way, not one chance of sack the board during the game today. As soon as the final whistle went, that was it. Everyone got it. Players bored, everybody. But Jordan, the game, the players, the fans were with the team. And this is something that the club, and this is why I, this is what I absolutely, I find absolutely disgusting about about Evan Football Club is in the moment is all the season ticket stuff is all just propaganda based on what we did last season. We are the gooders in gang, you know, all the blue smoking, the promotional stuff. And then you get in the guy on the first thing to say to you is you can't have any blue smoke and you're being set and all that kind of thing. And then they are the gas lightness. They're telling us where the problem. And I've seen a few fans fall for this. I've seen a few fans fall for it and go where the problem. We're not the problem. We are the constant. We are the thing that has always been here and will always be here. We are the consistent thing. We did not appoint the managers. We did not sack the managers. We did not buy the players. We did not get us into FFP difficulties. They are gas lightness. The Football Club are gas lightness. And there's people in the Football Club and I hope they watch this. You're part of the problem. You're, you're, you're taught. Oh, oh, it's terrible what's going on. That's the problem is you're the problem. They are gas lightness to make it seem like we're the problem. We're not the problem. Everton fans are not the problem. Do you know what, right? I've said this thing about football and you hear it from other people. One being the biggest dickhead in the world, Ben Foster. You just wait 20 minutes. You just wait 20 minutes and the fans will turn on. I'm not being funny. Walk down some Sunday league lines on a Sunday morning and you'll find more toxicity than you do with Goodison Park. I'm telling you that right now. Everton fans always, always dish out what, what players deserve or what the, the board deserve, right? Simple as that. Walk down some lines. I've been more intimidated. Ever, if ever players are intimidated by Goodison, then they're the wrong players. They don't deserve to play for Everton Football Club. What we need is brave men to go on the pitch. You know, you go back years ago and you see people like Peter Eid and they will, they, they looked at, they must have looked at glad that she's going, yes, I want that because I'm going to use that as wilt. And therefore they are the wrong players. It's as simple as that. It's a mentality thing. I've ate this thing with you. You can't say anything bad. You can't say, oh, he's not a very good player. Oh, you can't say he's crap. Oh, he's young. I don't care. You're a professional footballer. You ain't a fortune from day one. And I don't get me wrong. Don't get this confused with it like mental health issues and all that kind of thing. Anyone can have that. Anyone can have that. That's not the same thing on Thomas. What I'm talking about is this pressure on everybody. There's pressure at the top. There's pressure at the bottom, right? If you can't show fight, you know, if you can't show that you want to play for the shades, if you are intimidated by, by Goodison, if you're intimidated by the Gladlustries, if you're intimidated bumping into an Everton fan, then you're, you're not good enough to play for Everton Football, then Everton Football Club. And if you're, if you're, you know, if you're on the board and you haven't got the bollocks to resign after everything that's going on, forget the, forget the, forget what happened today. Look at the league table. Look at the league table. Look, ask yourselves why we can't buy players. Ask yourself why this team can't improve. Ask yourself why we sold the Charleston and then tell me you deserve to be part of Everton Football Club because you don't, you don't belong deserve to be part of Everton Football Club. And what you're doing is you're dragging Everton Football Club down to the championship. It's as simple as that. And you can have all your, your fancy stadiums and all this. It isn't going to mean anything. It isn't going to mean anything. But you know what? We'll still be there. And I imagine no matter what division we would be in when the Everton Stadium opens, I guarantee, well, I can't guarantee it, but I imagine there'd be a good crowd there at 50,000 or so. And you know if we do go down and we have money problems, it'll be us putting our hands in our pockets that get us out of that division. It's as simple as that. It's us. It's us turning up every week. It's us fans. It's us buying all the crap we buy all the time that you can't even get in, get in, can't even get in the shops for us to buy more. I imagine people still winning the shop today. I mentioned people will still be online tonight looking for Everton things because that's what we are. That's what, that's what we will do. But if we went down and financially it would be us, the fans who are paying more next season no matter what happens, don't forget that. At the moment you're paying more money because you're getting four extra games. But if we stay up, that's a massive if, you're paying more to watch shite and we, but we'll do that. We will do that because we are Everton fans. It's as simple as that. So forget all this toxic fanbase and all this. No, it's called passion. It's called passion. It's as simple as that. And these people are gaslighting you. And it's as simple as that. Everton Football Club, the board, the communications people, they are gaslighting you. There's only one reason why they announced today that something had happened and he's brought it back to them. There's only one reason they announced it today. Why didn't they announce it yesterday? Why didn't they announce it today before? If it happened two weeks ago, why didn't they announce it then? They announced it today because they knew that it would split the fanbase that people go, wow, I'm not going to stay behind. Sam, thank you for your super chat. I'm not going to stay behind, not with these Neanderthals. I'm not staying here to be part of this because we have fans like that. Of course we do. You'll have an older generation who'll be like, oh, I'm not staying here for this. I'm going home. I'm not going to be part of this. And that's what they do. This is what this football club is doing. And if journalists and the media as a whole don't start asking questions about this football club and why it is the way it is, then nothing will change to getting away with it. And I'm not prepared to be part of that. And I will speak my mind. And I don't give them monkeys. I really don't. I tell them to the faces if they want me to. But that would never happen because they haven't got the bottle to do interviews with people. Sim says, new Everton fan, this year from us, it's been hard year. It's just, I love football. Jesus guys, mate. You chose the wrong year to give up glue. There you go. Now I'm angry. No. It's not good enough. We know it's not good enough on the pitch. We know it's not good enough on the manager. But it starts up there. It starts up there. It starts at the top. It works its way down because it's called leadership. It's called a culture. It's called an atmosphere. They started. Bill Kenright wants a football club. That is a museum to the past. Then he's got one. It's as simple as that. So West Ham next week. Long week between then. We'll have to wait and see what the club do. We'll have to wait and see what the fan base wants, NS now, and whoever else is representing the fans. It's going to be interesting to see what happens during the week. So there you go. I've got to that point where I just feel like I'm rambling now. Thank you everyone for watching, listening, reacting, giving me your super chats, whatever you've done. Thanks for joining me. I do appreciate it. I'm just sitting here ranting on to myself. It's just sad. It's just sad. It's sad watching your club.
