 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is my three things. Crystal Palace 2, Everton 3. Sounds lovely. It sounds lovely to talk about a win, that score line where Everton have won the game. It's great. This was a big win for Everton today. Tough place to go. Crystal Palace, obviously the victory now. I think it's a point now between the two teams which is a big thing for us and to score three goals on the road is brilliant as well. So delighted with the victory today and I think I said in the week if we end up taking four points this week we took a point against Brighton and then three today. Going into the international break I think that's since we come back at seven points out of twelve which is a great return for us and it is lovely when you go on the international break and you've won the game. You do have that couple of weeks. We've got just over two weeks till we face Manchester United are good as new again. There's nothing to be worried about really. United have got some great players and they could well come and beat us with good as new but I think we can beat them as well so there's nothing to worry too much about there. And we can have this couple of weeks now to just reassess because we then go into a crazy busy period coming up to the Christmas period. So delighted with the victory today. First thing I'm going to talk about is Vitaly Mikalenko who was my man of the match today. I thought I think he's since he got back in the side I think he's got better and better each week. And I think what we're seeing now or what we saw last week and we've seen it again today is his is him starting to add a little bit more going the other way. You know I think what he tended to do on a lot of occasions like last week for his goal against Brighton he wins the ball on a half way line in a 50-50 and then he follows the ball. He follows the run and makes the run into the penalty area. Low and behold the ball comes to him, strikes it with his right foot, it gets blocked. It comes back to his left foot, comes back and hits it with his right foot and we take the lead. And today it is the opening minute. But he's won it as a shot on the edge of the box with his right foot and it gets blocked and it breaks through Adelaide Acore. He slides it wide to Jack Harrison. Harrison thinks of the cross and Michalenko bullets the other in. That's him getting into that danger area again and that's what I want to see more and more of. I think a 1v1 defender I've always said this he's very good 1v1 when he's got a task to focus on and a wide player to focus on he's very good. He had a scrap today he was up against IU it was a good battle between entry but I thought he did very well and that's what I want to see for Michalenko going forward, continuing this. The second goal today is him striking the ball on the edge of the box hits the post. This is what we need the more we get at that the more it's going to lead to goals. This is what we did with Leighton Baines. It's what we had with Luca Dean. I'm not putting Michalenko in the level of because I just think they were better footballers. Ironically I think well not ironically. I just think I think Michalenko is a better defender than the pair of them. Baines was great but he was brilliant all around. He was amazing going forward Leighton Baines but as a defender he was decent don't get me wrong but I think Michalenko is a better 1v1 defender. Baines going the other way it's never even going to be up for question but if Michalenko can add to that and do what he's done the last couple of weeks and continue that going forward then that gives me hope that he's going to keep developing. We definitely need to bring another Leif back in to push him. We haven't really got another one. Ashley Young he plays every week he was alright today the manager clearly wants him in the team and he's keeping our other attack and fall back out at the moment. So that's something a Patterson's got to work on but I think for Michalenko keep doing what he's doing, keep getting forward, keep helping, build attacks, keep getting in the right areas and you know what that'll help us massively. It's helped us the last two games hasn't it? It's so hopefully you'll keep that going on the Leighton forum. Second thing I want to talk about today is Everton's away form which is very very good. It's three away wins now this season which is really good for us more than it has been for a few seasons. Since Shaun Dyche came in I think Everton I've got, I think it's four defeats. Keep saying think a lot don't I just realised that. It's four defeats in all the games he's managed us away from home and that shows a resolute nature that he has built and instilled in the team. And again today it was three wins on the run in London. Okay it's nine out of twelve points the last four away games in fact if you include Sheffield United. So since the Villa game Everton have taken ten out of fifteen points on the travels but it's three wins in London on the run and three away wins is big for us. And if we can keep that going then it means we'll go to most plate listen. We saw her on the field. And let's not forget about that. It took a penalty to break us down even with ten men. And if we can defend as well as that. Okay today I've just bemoaned in my maths reaction to poor errors I think from our centre back. You've been magnificent so far this season but I think today Brantwick's lazy leg out for the there's no reason for it. The lads running into traffic and then obviously Tarkovsky with the ducking out of something he should just head away. They've made errors today but it's generally been fantastic and if we can keep that level of defending going keep organised the way we are on our travels then who's to say we can end up with six maybe even seven away wins. We've got three already you know. I fancy Everton to go and give anyone a game as long as we don't make silly errors if that makes sense. I think the battling and scrapping for everything now which is good and that's what we want to see. I think a way for a moment really suits us so let's hope we keep that going because if we can then start building the home form to even just like an average level. We really will, there really won't be any issues, whatever the outcome of independent commissions and we will be looking up. I mean Brentford at a time of record and this Brentford at a ninth at the moment and the two pointer head of Everton. Now okay Brighton I think Brighton have got 18 points, they're eighth and next I think might have 20 points the European spot. So we're kind of like six points off a European spot and not getting carried away in the slightest but I'm just saying that's how it is the table so we've got to try and get ourselves into that next bit away from home that kind of form will definitely do that. And then the final thing I want to talk about is an extension of that really and that is building on top of that, building and looking up. I was listening to Kevin Thelwell he'd done an interview with the Training Ground Guru so go and give it a listen if you're having it. It's really good if you're interested and he's talking about how we develop, how we kick on you know everybody needing to get better. And I think a mindset change for us is needed as well from everybody but that will come with winning games. Winning games cures all ills, it cures everything and Everton's star for me now need to be looking and I'm talking about us as a fan base as well need to be looking up that table. We need to be forgetting about the teams that are below us in a, not saying everything's fine, there's not a chance we'll go down whatever, whatever, whatever, but believing that we can start moving the other way, there's a lack of quality in our squad in terms of people who put the foot on the ball. I don't think we've got anybody really who will put the foot on the ball. I was looking at Essy for them, very much get the ball, he's a dribblet, trying to make things happen. We don't have that player in our midfield. Our wingers are very similar in our wide plays in that they work so hard. You've both got a goal in them. Harrison is quicker than McNeill or kind of like more direct than McNeill. McNeill has got lovely left foot and creates different space but I think they're both similar. We don't have someone who is like a real speed that are in the wide areas or you can create something out of nothing. I don't see them in that role. Abdelhaid acorau is a bit of a conundrum for us just for the simple reason that ideally in that role just off the striker you would have someone really creative, someone who can put the foot on the ball and score goals as well, do two or three jobs. He doesn't do that but he does pop up with big goals for us and therefore the two midfielders when we played the other two. I'm not gonna, James gonna, none of them do that either, really I'm not gonna try to do his but he's obviously better being destructive and he obviously wasn't fully fit today and was withdrawn a half time. But everything could really do that extra little bit of quality I think in midfield and now obviously the manager's been speaking about Deli this week, he's been speaking about Andre Gomez as well. Deli, it's up for debate whether he can get back to anything like a good Premier League football or that we might use. If so then for me becomes a natural competition for Abdelhaid acorau because he can do both jobs, he can drop into midfield but he can also come up with a goal. Is he ever gonna get that? I don't know, who knows but that's that fit. Andre Gomez has some of the qualities I'm talking about but I'm just not convinced he's good enough to do that so that's I think where everything needs to be looking next in that area and obviously a wide player as well. Because I do believe if we do start looking up we look at teams around us and we have a good baseline of you know what you're gonna get then you add some quality and drive into that then why not? Why not? Why can't everything become a team like Villa who have gone from struggling and looking like they may go? Emery's flipped them on the red and they're now doing great in Europe, they're battling again for the European places. Why not? That's gotta be the aim, I'm not saying everything could get there certainly not this season but you know what I'm saying it's that's gotta be the aim. But maybe a mindset change for us as well is to start looking at teams around us and above us and going right, can we claw our way back. We're going into a hugely busy and difficult December, obviously United in November then we're going. There's a lot of games when we come back after the international break. If we're still milling around and we're closing that pack in January then maybe the management team will be able to come up with a couple of loans or whatever that might give us that extra bit of quality. But it's good to look at it that way and not be obsessed with can we just get fourth bottom because I think we do need to move on from that and I think if we can change the narrative with that. Will all I feel better? I think everyone will be more confident and I include the players in that as well so just wonder if we can get to that bit next but that's the challenge I guess.
