So get over there and see what we're doing. Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the Daily Extra here on Patreon. We are talking about Neil Vassage in his comments. The little snidey shit out. Shit off. And that's it. Thanks for watching. Yeah. And it's, I said this last night on the Everton News Daily, when things are not going well for you, your focus don't, you're on like, he's doing brilliantly on loan. Why did we let him go? And then the minute things start going well, you're not asked are you? And I don't know whether that's got anything to do with what he said, but he's obviously made a couple of comments regarding, well, he spoke about, I think he spoke first of all about the nature of the Premier League and how the top six, only like the top six teams play attack on football and everyone else is quite defensive. Now, I don't quite know if he meant that in terms of that didn't help him because of the way we played or that didn't help him because other teams just want to defend, so therefore his abilities don't come out. But I wouldn't surprise me if he meant it both ways. But I suppose we're looking at this now, and it's easy to be critical at the moment of him, because we are playing totally different, we are playing very attack on football. But if he'd have said this in May, I wouldn't have batted Naila, because we were s**t defensive last season, we were terrible, we were terrible. And a lot of the Premier League top sides do play attack on football. So if he'd have said this three months ago, or if this interview had been done in August when he hasn't really, you know, had it gone, you know, to be fair, like his experience is hard, so I've got no problem with him saying that stuff at a certain period of time. If he'd have said then followed it up with more evidence of playing a lot more attack on football this season under a new manager, he'd have gone, well yeah, he's absolutely right, everyone would have said he's right. But it's the other little bit that he's put in as well and I just think I don't know whether he's eating, it's just like look, do you want to go back and he's like now, so it's the starter, they're like make it easier to get you a move away that you're not interested, I don't know. He's right, a lot of teams do play defensive football. We did, we all saw it, hence why we were all bitching last season, because it was shifing, yeah, we were getting these ults, but it was terrible. And the thing with Flacities for me is he's a very good technical footballer, but he hasn't got pace. He is strong, but if you haven't got the pace to get away, it makes it difficult and he's only ever used him wide in. I didn't think he was that strong because one of my big criticism of his, if you haven't got the pace, you have to be strong to stop the player who is faster than you getting in front of your own. So I didn't think he was that strong. I thought, I think he's a good player. No problem about that, I said that. And I suppose, I think what happens when players go on loan, it's whoever controls the narrative, and I think some, I think on this one, I don't think, I don't think we control the narrative well enough on this deal, because I think there's a way of doing things. When we, when he said the four players weren't going to be involved and they were basically like, find your own, find the new club. But Alice Williams and Martina, you're just like Sam. But I think with him, I think with the club, Mr. Tick is, I think they should have approached it a little bit more positivity and said, I'll, you know, not, I don't even think, I don't think they should have included them in the four in terms of like, what was revealed to everybody. I think they should have been a little bit more, well, I was trying to get him alone, deal somewhere. Maybe they were, maybe they were happy for a payment deal. I don't know. I think they should have kept the pile to dry a little bit. And then, you know, box level with it and said, we want them to go somewhere where they'll play games at high level like Luchman did last season and come back. Now, whether they mean that or not, it doesn't matter. And I'm not having to go with anyone here, by the way. I'm not like, I'm just saying me, I think other people, some clubs do better with these spin things that it always makes them look in a positive light. It always keeps them in a positive light. And I think that's where Evan just missed a trick with this. I think if he'd gone, well, he's going to Russia. He's going alone. They're playing in the Champions League. This is fantastic for us. You know, look at like, even without Yakuura, without again, no one's saying, no one's really said anything because everyone doesn't know the situation. He needs to go alone so he can get his, get his work payments.
