 Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the match preview and joined by Stuart Lowes, one of our patrons all away from Sheffield to preview Everton vs Sheffield Wednesday in the Carabao Cup third round tie at Hillsborough. Welcome, Stuart. Obviously he did the final wave with us for the Sheffield United game, we just focused Sheffield's centre here with Stuart because he's got his ear on the ground. Sheffield with regards to these clubs. Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough, tough game. How do you feel their fans are going to be feeling about this game, they're going to be confident? I think they will to be honest. They're an old fashioned club, they've got a big fan base, 30,000 every home game. Even when they were down in division one they were still drawing 30,000 just like Newcastle did and Leeds United so they've always had that good fan base. So when it comes to knocking us big boys, so called big boys out of the cup competition, they'll be chomping at the bit to do that I think. We've just got to make sure that we reverse the result that we've just had. From the opposite side of Sheffield but they'll be definitely up for it I think and I think they'll give us a tough game as well. We found it tough down at Lincoln in the last round, obviously turned that round and ended up with a good win and that's the most important thing quite clearly in cups just getting through doesn't matter how you play. It's lovely to play well but ultimately the result is all that matters. But like you said there could be 30,000 of Hillsborough for this one and Everton at the moment not in a great moment as coaches like to say since the international break. We had a good end, a good start of the international break with a win over Wolves and we've had the two weeks off and come back with two very disappointing results really. And I suppose with all that's been said and the pressure probably being put on Everton and put on Mark O Silver for this one it's a big big cup side this now forever and it means a lot doesn't it in our season. Oh absolutely I mean dare we say everything rides on this now because it's too soon in the season six games gone and we're not counting on just this because our league position is recoverable by a couple of results in your back up there again. However as this is something that we've always wanted we've never won and we always want to put a good performance out there. One thing or another lets us down year upon year as you know that going to these games yourself and the history that we've got so we want to put that right and we've got a good squad to do that. You know we've built a good squad we've got to look at it positively you know put Sheffield United behind us and move on with this one. It's going to be tough but you know I think we can do it and once we get into that next round should we get into that next round. Anything's possible I think you go to three rounds and that's when you know the team's still in it start taking it a bit more seriously so it's certainly the big club you know we're blooding under 23s and things so but you know one or two players aside last season when we went out we put out a good squad last season as well so is it and we're lost to that one so we've got to put that right again. Yeah you know it's a tough one to decide who we'll bring in really you know obviously what we want to see from Everton is we want to see a bit of tempo in this game a bit of attack and wave a bit more dare I say blood and thunder from us you know it's not necessarily about snapping people and getting into tackles but it's about dictating the pace of the game. Sheffield Wednesday looked at the team he played at the weekend you know Stephen Fletcher up front likes to put himself about they play a 4-5-1 he's got Barry Bannon running off him, Lee as well he gets wide areas, Gary Munk obviously gone in there he had a good result the week before he won two nil a Huddersfield in a Derby mat or you know a local game that was a big result for him. But forever we've got to look at ourselves in this and we've got to you know you're probably going to see Sid the B coming at right back I would imagine possibly Mason Hallgate will come in alongside either Jerry Meenard or Michael Keane I guess. I'm not saying that's the right thing to do you know Willie play I don't know whether Lacell's fit or not will he start instead of Pickford I don't think you can mess with that back for too much because of those. You know but then in Miffield I want to see a totally different Miffield I want to see Delth, Schneidlin and Sigurdtson I want to see maybe Delth with Tom Davis and Alex Oboby you know maybe Rose 3 and because I doubt even if Andre Gomez is close to being fit I doubt Everton will risk him with City Rose at the. And then in the wide areas I'd like to see Bernard I'd like to see Richard Charles and Moise Keane through the middle or maybe even Moise Keane on the left and Dominic Halbert through the middle. It'll really try to put Sheffield Wednesday on the back foot you know play with a 4-3-3 with attackers and with movement and try and get some rhythm because at the moment it just feels a bit stale for us doesn't it? It does yeah. It feels very stale and as we mentioned in the final word last time around the tempo wasn't there. There were no pace. There were no guile determination. I think we lacked three or four crucial attributes to win the game against Sheffield United and I think we can put that right now. I mean just because we're away to Sheffield Wednesday doesn't mean to say that they have to dominate the proceedings. You know we've got to get it and be in their faces say we've come for a battle but you've got to have a squad to put up a battle haven't you? You've got to have the squad that's willing to do that. It's over okay all very well going out there and saying that's what Silver's said that they need to do to right the wrongs of the last game. But I think like you say that there's that balance centre of mixing it up to change something and changing it too much where if they lose they'll go you didn't take it serious. And there's always a risk of that happening and that could be crucial on where Silver goes from now dependent on the result of this. I think though if you just kind of went with the 4-3-3-1 again and just maybe changed keen for Calvert Lou and I don't think people would be too happy with that either because it hasn't worked in the last couple of games. There has to be a level of obviously you take it seriously I want to win it so I want us to put a team but I believe I could mix the team up and it'd be good enough to beat Sheffield Wednesday and those players who are coming in should be chomping at the bit. Go hang on get me in there and it might take you know Ped mentioned in the final word you know maybe putting Anthony Gordon on the bench just to give that little bit of interest as well a little bit of a spark maybe. I don't know I don't know whether that's even a consideration but we need something because we need to catch fire even though you know the season is sick getting rolled it's very young obviously so far. But we haven't performed like we can like we did the back end of last season so we have to try and ignite this season now and get playing. I mean I'm looking through Sheffield Wednesday side in the weekend obviously they've got Westwood in goal who's been around for a while. Back four plays most games. You've got Sam Utterson in midfield, Rich Leibhann and Harris behind Fletcher. The week before was a little bit more of a 4-2-3-1 in the win of Huddersfield. Got Jacob Murphy coming off the bench who's been on loan a cart or he's played for Cardiff and he's quick on the break. They've got Nuhu who come on and equalise later on at the weekend but from the weekend's game the last time out against Fulham they had 168 passes compared to Fulham's 538 and managed to get themselves a draw. So that tells you that they keep going right at the end they're going to be buoyed by the home crowd. So we know what it's like but I suppose from Everton's aspect the one difference with Lincoln Lincoln was a tight compact grand Sheffield Wednesday Hills was a big stadium. But Everton aren't up for the task if we're a little bit like we can just turn up here and waltar on the pitch and we'll be too good for them. We'll go out because that's what's happened in the past I think wherever and when we've gone out of this competition recent times. We've turned up with the arrogance against teams of these were well better and you can't and I think Everton are good enough to take any game for granted. I think we have to win the battle and then play our football and ultimately if we do that we'll win games of football. Exactly and that's it and those stats that you point out there you know pin points how much possession they actually have that many passes. I think Fulham had about 68-70% possession but they still dug in and dug in and dug in till the end because like you say the big crowd 30,000 every home game they do get behind them and they're noisy. So once that the volume rises in the stadium we could be in trouble if we're not up for the fight. It's up to people like with Charleston you know like Dean getting forward like Coleman, Siddabi maybe if Coleman's not playing. Siddabi could be a good option because you know he could be stronger and he's got the pace as well to get up forward. And from what I saw of him playing for the international he could really push Coleman with a couple of shouts. If he's selected for a couple of games he could get a shout to be oust Coleman out of that position I think. Definitely when he done he obviously had the names but he was okay for Monaco last year as part of France's well cut winning side he's played in the Champions League a lot of experience. He's quick okay he's a little bit positionally he's not brilliant but then Seamus can be a little bit suspect at times it's what they offer going the other way. With the likes of Siddabi who likes to bomb on you after that discipline then you may feel so that's why someone like Fabian Delphi will naturally have that responsibility to cover for him would be key. But listen we're playing a championship side regardless of all the pitfalls we've just named that they'll be offered it Gary Munchall have them offered it the fans will drag them through. You know Sheffield Wednesday being in the Premier League for so many years you know they were a Premier League team and it's sad to see you know slip away and struggle but brilliantly suppose it'll be a tough game for us no questions about that. But for Everton and given the money we've spent on what we want to achieve they've got to stand up and be counted because at the moment we're just seeing I don't think we're going through the motions but it's not happening and the only way you can do that is play through it. Stand up if you're not playing well it doesn't mean you can't work hard it doesn't mean you can't win your battles so get out there win our battles and hopefully like I said before the quality will come through and that'll be enough to take us into the fourth round. Yeah yeah and I mean yeah that positively that's what we should aspire to undoubtedly you know when you go back to the latter stages of Martin as his era at Everton you could see that they weren't playing for him. They'd lost interest they'd lost passion they were no drive and I'm not saying that that's happening with Marco Silva at the moment but if they really do want to play for him and I do think that they do you know I'm not going to say that they don't and they down tools because we have seen that happen at various clubs but if their passion is there and he can rally that passion from it we'll turn him over tomorrow we really will because we will have too much and we have got a great squad and you know it's just instilling that drive one two results from now we could be backing it you know as long as we're not Man City don't do it obviously but two steps two three steps from now we could be back in the running and how many how many times of managers and pundit said you know your season can depend on a good cook run and Sheffield Wends is a perfect example of that you do well in this game and you know it could sort help us sort the league out. Most definitely. Listen it's going to be a very very tough game it's hard to call because we're not in great form Sheffield Wends they must settling them down a bit now at their place anything could happen but hopefully we'll see the real evidence please stand up. You know Marco Silva said we have to go there and remember what evidence well I hope he means like good evidence or not the evidence we've been the last couple of weeks but fingers crossed big thanks to you for coming in and previewing this.
