 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is my three talking points. Everton to Arsenal. One of goodness and it sounds good to say. It definitely does. It's been a while since we've been able to talk about an Everton victory, but they've won it tonight with goals from the Charleston and a Screamer from Damari Gray at the end. It's a big win for Everton and an important win. First thing I'm going to talk about is the attitude of the players tonight. It's been questioned in the last few weeks. It was questioned certainly at games against Wofford, Wolves away. It was absolutely questioned, but I thought tonight it couldn't be questioned. I think every player worked his socks off tonight. I think the crowd were instrumental in that. The crowd were brilliant. I thought all night. I think the players responded to it, but what we say is fans who go to game or watch the game, wherever you're watching it from, you want to see those players giving everything the same as any of us would love to do. We'd love to pull on an Everton sheath and go out there and give our all. That's what we expect from our players. I thought tonight they did that in terms of eight games without a win. You start looking at it and saying, are the players playing for the manager? I think we've seen lots of evidence when players throw the towel and go, I'm done with this manager. I think you can see it a mile off. I don't think it was there with Benitez still. I know some people will want him gone and I'm not here to dispute that. I'm just talking about the team at the moment. Luca Deem has left out the 18 tonight. He's got to get on board with everything same as other players have. We've all got a pull in the right direction. Rafa Benitez, his team is going to be here for a while, so we have to just back it, but the players are still putting the shift in. It'll be different if they stop. If Everton starts appearing and they're not giving their all, then we might have to question other things. I just thought the attitude of them to keep going tonight, keep sticking to battling for the ball. In possession of time, we're still not good enough. We're slow. We look awkward when we've got the ball, which is crazy when you think these are players who have a ball at the feet every day. That's maybe something you've got to get better at, but I think attitude wise, I thought it was quite good tonight. The second thing I've been talking about is just the state of the club in terms of what we've seen over the last week. We lost the Bremford and it was grim. We then had the Maisie side, Derby, and we were destroyed, let's be honest. Since then, there's been a lot of fallout. Fans aren't happy, and rightly so. A lot of stuff on social media, the campaign for 27 minutes, but people just in general getting it out there, that us as a fan base, we're just not happy with what we're being saved up. It isn't enough to just expect us to go every week to support year after year. There has to be some evidence. There has to be a plan. Marcel Brands has ended up paying the price yesterday. He lost his job yesterday, or resigned, or whatever, but whatever happened, he is no longer Evidence Director of Football. Whether people agree with that, disagree with it, that's the way it is. It's a fact. He's not Evidence Director of Football. His statements kind of hint at that. Him and the club have different views, different vision. Now it's difficult to talk about that vision when he hasn't spoken about it. He did an interview, I think it was something like two months before he started that ever, and he did an interview about the job when he was at PSV. But since he's been here, he's hardly spoken about what his vision is, what he wants to do, where we're up to, and I think that was an issue, and I think that was a massive issue, communication. Apparently he didn't want to communicate. We've spoken to people, and certainly on this channel we wanted to speak to, we know that other people wanted to speak to, and he didn't want to talk to anybody, not even Evidence' own media team with regard to his vision. So that's an issue. If you're not telling everybody what your vision is, it's difficult to see what that is, but obviously it is a concern. And when you have a director of football saying, my vision and the football clubs are totally different or different without moving forward, who's right? Is it brands that they have this vision to build this young team or the young manager and ever wouldn't let them? Maybe. Maybe, and time will tell, I guess, or the more it comes out, whether he will speak, he'll probably sign an NDA with Everton, so we won't talk about it, because it could be very embarrassing if he started putting a few people in the place. But then maybe he wasn't the right man, who knows, but he's not here now. And the reason I'm talking about this is because this has got to be an opportunity for Everton Football Club to pull its socks up, really. The fans aren't happy. We know that. We've seen it. We've seen it on our channel. We've seen it on social media. We see it in terms of things like the 27 campaigns tonight, things like that. The fans aren't happy. The board needs to know. The owner who is getting a kick in it. And rightly so, rightly so, he's made some dreadful errors, I think, since he took over. He's done good stuff, don't get me wrong, but we want him to take hold of this now and put a proper structure in it. And whether that means replacing the CEO, or whether it just means bringing another football person onto the board, but someone with a proven track record, or someone with a business track record of working at a, I don't know, a real top company, big business. Maybe that's what Everton needs to drive this whole thing forward. The talk of replacing the doff, the other type of football. I don't know. Maybe they will. Maybe they won't. Who knows? A lot of people aren't happy that Raffer Benitez will be giving more responsibility with that. That's just the way it is at the minute while we've got this owner. But I hope Everton used this as an opportunity to almost reset because the fans are absolutely right to demand more. It's been disgusting really. 27 years it'll be the season without a trophy. It's embarrassing. And especially when we've had money, we've been a fantastically well supported football club and they've not been able to deliver it for us. It's embarrassing. And the last five years have been not as short of embarrassing really because they built to this point. When Meshiri come in, we finished seventh and then we had two eighth places and we've had 12th and 10th and who knows where we'll finish this season. So it's not going that way. It seems to be going that way or certainly it's plateau. I hope they use this as an opportunity to really move the club forward because we can't just continue. And fans won't just continue to put up with it. We've been proving that now. So let's hope they do it. And finally, let's just talk about Richard Allison to finish off because I thought he really battled his socks off tonight for us. He would have been disheartening to the first goal. He could see how much it meant to him and then it was ruled out. And then the second goal again and that one looked tighter and he thought he'd done it. It would have been easy for him to throw the towel in a little bit. Sometimes he does. Sometimes the toys come out the pram. But I don't think he did that tonight for us. I thought he battled and worked hard. And he got his reward by scoring what would have been a hat trick goal to equalise for us. And he battled and soiled and was a real threat to them all night. And even after Gray's goal he set up what should have been the third goal for Everton, for Alex Oboby, when he fluffed his lines. But he done brilliantly. Richard Allison held it up, waited, battled Gabrielle, moved him out of the way, laid it into Oboby and he should have smashed it in for 3-1 and killed the game and he missed it. But Richard Allison was excellent tonight. I give Michael Key man of the match because I thought he had a really good game and I thought the core I had a good game got better. But Richard Allison was definitely up there in that conversation for me, absolutely. I was just delighted that he just kept going because it wasn't his night for so long. And he could have let his head drop and mightn't have been alive to the Damari Gray, one that hit the bar, which he eventually stayed at over Ramsdale brilliantly to get us that equaliser. So fair play to Richard Allison. It's always good to finish on a positive. If you have any three things, let me know what you think in the comments section below. If you never told me, just enjoy it. Feels great to win a game of football. But thanks for watching. Give the video a thumbs up, subscribe. If you haven't, have a great night. See you later.
