 Welcome to Toffey TV, it's my three things Manchester City 2, Everton nil, the afternoon at the exit, I had Manchester City 2 good in the end really, the quality of them, although Everton said it before, Everton did really well today in terms of sticking to a plan on the structure and it's a frustrating one because we need to start picking up victories, don't meet seven games without a win in the Premier League now and that is worrying, that is worrying when other teams are gathering points. We know without the points deduction we'd still have a cushion and we'd be a lot calmer, but right now we still have that points deduction. The asterisk is firmly planted next to our name, so another defeat keeps the pressure on really and I'm watching other games nervously now this afternoon because of another defeat, but I certainly won't be, this isn't something I'll be basing everton season on this game because City are just simply too good for us and that's the way it is. And I think Sean Deitch and the coaching staff these years could have forgotten the players to stick to a plan today. That's the first thing we're going to talk about really is the game plan, the players willingness it seems to take on a game plan and this is what's so frustrating I think for the home games is that when we go away we have a clear identity of what we want to do and I feel as though we give everybody a game away from home, everyone I think you look at it, there's been a couple of occasions this season. Aston Villa away was really poor and wolves, we would just be out on our feet and they thoroughly deserve to win that day, but I think in most away games this season it doesn't matter what the outcome has been, evident of being in the game, evident of giving the team a workout regardless of what the result has been and we've done it today, we played the best side in the world today, they're now top of the Premier League, we've played them, we've battled with them, we've made them bring on the best players. We need to beat us, and they beat us in the end of course they did because they got that extra quality that we don't have, but we were in the game, the players like I said stuck to the plan, you know Manchester City up to the 70th minute had another shot on target, the first time since August 22 did not have a shot on target in the first half of the game, that's how well evident defended, the problem evident of this and I'll probably go into it a little bit more on another point is our attacking play is really there. It's really poor and so limited, so sticking to a plan, making sure we're disciplined, making sure everybody gets back into position, cutting our crosses, making sure that we police the six yard box when a cross does come in, we don't know that very good and I was looking at it thinking well if we do this for the rest of the season, if we follow a game plan like this make it this difficult for the rest of the season for every team we play against, we'll have success against lessers. We just will, it's whether or not we can keep that intensity going in all the other games, that's what it comes down to really intensity, listening and sticking to the game plans, but the home form has to come and you look at the games we've got at home, we've got some games that you'd want really, now you've got to win them games, it's great going well, we've got to play Sheffield United and Burnley and Forrest and Crystal Palace, West Ham all at home, we've got to win them games, it's great going well, we've got to play Sheffield United and Burnley and Forrest and Crystal Palace, West Ham, all at home. And you go, yeah, we have and we could win a lot of those games, Brentford, but I'd still rather have them and have the hope of winning them than there'd be all the top six which is what we've had in previous seasons, so we've got to, we've got to make sure that we can get them home victory, sticking to the game plan. This is the challenge I guess the man has, he'll be looking at is what kind of game plan can he come up to make home Premier League games more effective because we've won three games in February, a good one, that's not good. Our next game is a huge game, Crystal Palace at home a week on Monday, that is such a big game for us, especially if Chelsea can do us a favour and be Palace on Monday, then we'd have a chance to really pull Palace right next to us. And again, like I said, if we get some points back as well, then who knows where that can take us, but that is what we're up to at the moment. But I do feel like the players are listening, the players are sticking together and today we were just simply, the game plan was fine, the strategy was fine, we were simply beaten by a better side and you have to take that on the team and that's the way it is. The second thing I want to talk about is our attack on play and it really is something that winds me up at times, that there's not more invention and people will say, if I have this conversation, people will turn around and go, oh yeah, but we haven't got the players, but I see limited teams mixing stuff up and creating chances for centre forwards. I don't want to call for loon and things playing very well, so I think he battled well today. I don't think he's been in great form, but we also don't give him lots of opportunities to score goals, we don't create that many chances, people don't, you know, we get to the edge of the box, people don't really want to shoot, it almost seems as if it's a walking pace till we get it into a wide area, then we put, we just toss an aimless ball into the box. We had a good one today where Tarkovsky switches it to Michalenko and he rolls it back to McNeill and McNeill, there was just no care taking on the cross, he just tossed it into the middle, it was over-hit anyway. And then we had the second one when we get in the box and it's fired across doms and all in it, you've got to take care in that final third and this will be something that, in the summer, let's hope everything goes the way we want it to. The recruitment team and Kevin said, well, I've got to identify some real pace that plays in the final third, real genuine, as they call it, genuine pace in that final third, because we have to have the ability to unlock teams with one pass, get someone in on the run. And that directness in the wide area is on the pace, but even, you know, you look at us, our fullbacks aren't quick, really, you know, and our wingers aren't quick, and our centre forwards are not a flyer, so we're not blessed with that, and that's one area, I think, when you're doing the filters like it's football manager, pace has got to be the number one for us. We have to have that in our team, and to me it has to be for the final third. We have to be able to get on the coverloon, chances, we have to be able to work little triangles in and around the box to get to the ball and to cut things back, because it's all too shamy at the moment, and it's, I know, like I say, again, it does come down to quality of play. I can't sit here and try to ignore that and hide from that fact. Better quality gives you that, but also patterns of play give you that. So, you know, we have to work on that. Listen, I'm sure they are, but just think it needs more because it's a good somewhere. It almost raises it more than it does away, away, especially if the core is fit again. Like today was fine away from home. We've done that away. Like I said, against lesser quality teams, we might come out with a point, we might come out with all three, but at Godderson we're teams of sat in and we haven't had either a little bit of pace to get someone in round the back and break it, break the lines, or our attack and play hasn't been good enough, the quality, the little patterns of it. That's been an issue for us, and I think, you know, when you look at it like that, we have to be getting better and better in those areas because our home form for me is what will keep us up this season, especially those games when you look at what's to come, so more work on that is needed. And finally, I'm just going to talk about Jared Branthwaith because I thought in general today, excuse me, in general today I thought he had a very good game, but he did show his naivety for Manchester City's second goal trying to go almost body to body with Aaron Harland. He should have really just jockied them and just stuck with them, but when you look at it, he's made such an incredible, I don't want to say leap, he's made such an incredible step up this season as in for us, you know, he was playing in Holland and was very good by all accounts, you know, this is a lad, we've stuck from Cambridge, we know that, he's made his debut, he's played a few games for Everton, some he's looked good in others he's looked like he needed games, he went off to Holland last season. Netherlands and done really well for PSV and he's come back to Everton, he's got in the side and he's absolutely, he's been absolutely brilliant for us and you know, obviously there's a lot to talk about him at the moment as he's linked with every single club. But he's gone today and played that like a big stage there at the Etihad against Welsh, you know, Welsh striker, top top plays and he hasn't looked out of place and you do look at him and see how comfortable he is, how calm he is on the ball and you do think it's probably just a matter of time before one of these clubs does take him. And I hope that Everton keep him for another season, I hope Everton say it's, you know, there's a lot of talk about how we do onana as well as leaving and I'd love Everton to basically not sell both off on this summer, you know, if it's onana this summer then keep Prantwaith for another year let him develop. If you'd had a Prantwaith, can I say this without selling them buyers but if you're him, if I was him I'd want to stay at Everton for another depending where we are obviously, another season just to back up everything he's doing this season then I think he'll be in a great place. He's got a chance to give, they're getting into the England squad, he's played that well, the size of him, the way he plays with both feet, he's so calm, he leads the game really well. He's got a chance definitely of being in Garret Saltgate, there I say it, European Championship squad this summer so for Everton you want to keep and take advantage of that, you want to keep him when he becomes an international and boost his price, get that right up but I think I don't want us to just keep selling off. Sell them asset after asset and that's why I think it's probably likely we're going to have to sell one of them this summer and it's more likely to me that it's going to be onana but Prantwaith is developing tremendously well and obviously a lot of Manchester City fans got to seeing him first hand today and see how good the player he is and he's been brilliant for us this season so today I think he might have learned a lesson. People like Alan Harland who's a force of native and he's running, he's knocking over 6 for 5, he's joking, staying with him, force him onto his right foot maybe, listen to that, that good he might still score anyway but trying to go head to head with him and getting knocked on your backside doesn't look great for you but again it's a learning care forum and nobody's done that to him this season. I think Armando Brwya gave him a good work out for the opening 25 minutes when he beat Chelsea, he got the grips with him and he was fine for the rest of the game, Harland's a different kettle of fish and he will learn from it so long may his development continue and long may his development continue at Everton Football Club. And it helps the channel. Thank you for watching. See you later.
