 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the final where Daston Villa 2, Everton, lucky to get nil. I mean, three games in and we're already pulling our air out on this performance. Just a very, very poor performance. I know last season we waited till I think the fourth game to go into Meltdown but we've decided to do in the third game this year. I think there was a lot of expectation in that until last night, wasn't it? So I think that matched with the performance that they put out. It sort of obviously made me include a very disappointed. Look, you look at, you know, obviously we went into the game, could have went top of the league, you know, it's only three games in, but it was exciting, wasn't it, for fans? And as soon as that sort of pressure went on the game, even I should have realised that that's whenever it don't win. I never bought into any of that because I just don't because I just think it's when people, you know, being in Evertonian long enough to know that as soon as someone does put something on you, like you're the only team in the Premier League hasn't conceded, then being evident you are just going to concede or you're not going to take that opportunity to go top of the league and even if you do, it's not going to be for long. Now, I thought last night I had all the markings of the banana skin and it turned out that way and it's for the same reasons that I always feel like that. It's because someone asked me on Twitter and he said to me about it, you know, I put something like, we've got no fight in us. And someone said, what does that mean, fight? And the way I was rationally, that is, when things get tough at Everton, when games, when they get tough, when you go, go behind, when there's a crowd banging up, banging for blood, when everything seems to be against you, we don't seem to have players or we don't seem to ever buy players who can roll up their sleeves and chain it round. I mean, our record from being behind in the last year is poor, I imagine, and away from home, it's even worse. And I think the fact that we don't seem to be able to win more than half a dozen away games a season, suggest straight away that that's a problem through Everton's team is that, you know what, we take thousands away everywhere we go, and yet we can never, ever rise to the occasion, never ever, you know what I mean? It's like you see some teams and you see them going away and you think, how did they get that result? Oh, that's a great result, you know, they've got that to 10 men or the best player's got injured or they haven't started with the best team or whatever, but they can roll up their sleeves and get their job done because they know that they're a better football team than the team they play against and all it takes is that little bit of hard work and getting stuck in in the right places. And for me, we just don't have that. And the only time I would say we've done that is West Hamerway last season. Is that, went two-nil up and then came out second half and they cranked it up a little bit and we stood up to it. I don't know, maybe it's players not fully confident in the system or there's a little bit of an imbalance because we've got some players not playing or whatever, but I don't know, but that's why I quantify it. When the goal gets tough, roll up your sleeves and dig in and making sure for the next 10 minutes nothing bad's going to happen. Yeah, I agree with you there. And also you can see as the game goes on and on, when we're one-nil down, there's no way agency players are just standing on the ball in the field, passing it wide, slow, slow. You know, where the top teams go away and they'll see the losing late in the game. The defensive flight and the crowd's behind and the defensive's getting the, you know, the defensive's flight and stretching them, the playing, creating chance after chance after chance. All that just seems to be the same format of playing. It never really builds. We never really exciting. Gary never made a good point on the TV last night. He said that a half-time and he said that a full-time. And he said, Everton have got the makings of a good team. Jamie Carrigan said that as well. He said that after the game, he said, look at the plays, Everton have got. Neville said, but everything's just too safe. Everything is just too safe. None of the midfielders ever break the net to get into the box. Like I commented daily on last night how we never had any men in the box. We had like one or two when we were going wide. So you've got straight away, you've got nothing to aim at. You can criticise the centre forward all you want, but it doesn't matter who the centre forward is. If him and one of the other persons in the box and they've got five players now, how are you ever going to score? Just the perfect ball. How are you ever going to score? But he said, Everton are just too safe. The players are too safe. The players are too comfortable. No-one's ever breaking the net to get into the box. They're always thinking we'll hang back because the ball will probably break. No-one's ever... We never overload teams ever. We never, ever overload teams. And he's absolutely spot on there where there's teams like Tottenham. The reason Tottenham have made that big step up is because Pochettino loses a third of his games and yet finishes in the top three and gets to a Champions League final. We lose a third of our games and finish eight. And the reason is because they go, we're either going to win this game or we're going to lose this game but we've got the quality that we believe in to win this game. So they throw everything in it and that's where they end up, where they end up. We don't have that mentality and I don't actually, I'm not seeing that mentality build. Maybe with the players we've bought if we get them into the team, maybe then we'll start seeing the mentality. I don't know, I don't know whether the manager is waiting for his players to emerge. Like forget about some of the players that will come on to it but he's waiting for his players so that his way of playing can start taking over. Yes. My only worry about that is is this silver style or is he waiting to play his own? I don't understand why he hasn't. If I'm a manager, my job rises to win games, you want to play the style whether you've got, whether you have to incorporate other players or not. Are they fitting to that system or that out the team? That's what it should be. And I think, I don't know, it was the same, do you know what? I haven't been the same way for like what? About 15 years that going wide thing. Moise, that's him Cale and Maron Flaney to a great editor. We haven't got those players alive in the box anymore. Then under Martinez, where it was slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow. You had Ross Barclay and Romain LeCarte who could do that thing to go through the middle, create something to score a goal. That made the difference. But now it's just the same style of pattern of play. Goes out to like Bainz, Dean to the left. Sometimes goes out to Coleman but actually he ends up playing as another winger because he's always in the box and it's just all going down the left. I think my look at him must get bored because the board just goes out to him all the time. It's all on him to create something all the time and there's no space. There's no overlap. When he overlaps, he sometimes gets the ball and he sometimes doesn't. But yeah, it is too safe. The thing about the field is you've got Andre Gomez who's supposed to be linking midfield in attack, who stands on the final third line basically and doesn't go fast there. At times that's like Moke Schneider was going ahead to me. Moke Schneider was the last person I wanted ahead to me in the midfield because his job is to sit in front of the back four and just pop the ball off. That's it. It was just a mess that the field changed. The team obviously there's no good Barclay. He's obviously got an injury and he might be out for some time. It's a quad injury, isn't it? So he could be out for two, three months easily. Okay. So straight away, you're looking at that midfield three, that triangle, and there's no energy in there. There's no emergencies. There's no agency. There's no athleticism. There's no one going to break past the centre forward. There's nothing. So the manager straight away has got to look at that now and say, what am I going to do with that? And maybe that means that we're going into a three and we do play a proper four, three, three. And that will be bad news for Guilffy Shiggerton, but let's be honest, he hasn't started this year. No, at all, haven't he? So that's a major headache for him because for me, that midfield does not work without a player like Ghanan. And it simply doesn't. Ghanan did the work at two men, which allowed us to be allowed us to spring somewhere. We just don't, from last night, there was no counterattack at all after the first 10 minutes. Well, we started really well. The first 10 minutes, we were getting down the left day-a-day a lad booked and it was like, well, we'll just play on him, we'll just play on him. But we did that thing again where it's just, well, we'll just do our little thing. Don't worry, we'll just throw the ball in the box. We won't actually try and like craft anything together. We won't get numbers forward. It's all just, on Bernard to throw something to the box. We had one decent corner where Dean had a shot and it bounced their hands offside. And then after about 10, 10, 15 minutes, maybe about 15 minutes mark, the village just went, right, we need to get into this game. So they just started rolling off the sleeves, Jack Grelish, John McGinn started just putting energy into the midfield, getting, hassling our players on the ball. They'd seen our slow gole miss and snaddle them away and we're like, right, just hassle them, win the ball back quickly and then move the ball quickly. And they had a centre forward that does what Don doesn't do. Don's great as a focal point trying to hold the ball up and bring other people into play. But what he's not good at is making intelligent runs in front of, and using the pace that he's got, he's supposed to be a very quick player. You never see him. He's always in front of a defender, a defender that's back here. And I don't know whether that's because Guilfee Sigarton's never in the position. The way he should work is Guilfee Sigarton should be in a tent looking to slide Dom in. Now is it because Don doesn't make the runs or Guilfee's never that high up with the ball? I don't know. But Don never makes that run and that, the kid who scored was Wesley. Yeah, Wesley. I mean, the kind of run that I've never... You don't see Dominic Arvindlun ever me. You've got... We fell asleep from the free kick but all just... Well, go on, let's make the tactical foul, which actually was quite smart. No, you've got one in your pocket. Because they're about to break, so you've sacked the foul, but then they all switch off. They're all standing there. But he basically jacked me. There's Bobster Ball on the floor. Puts through it and he's got ten yards of space to run in. And then obviously we get the ball. The ball goes into Jota, and as they go, this is a legitimate twin, isn't he? Just put slides on the board, just on the diagonal. I'm like, he's like on the runway, just rolling them in. Because he even checks, just runs right across them. As you see, the problem with everything though is you make a bunch of Guilfee's tickets in this. He should be in that ten spot. You should be getting the ball, tanning, and then you've got... Ben Arthur is left in the half space. We're Charleston in the half space. Dominic Arvindlun, you've got options then, but it's not. They both are wide to each other. So the ball goes into Dom and then asks to go wide because there's nothing to drop it off to at all. The goal, I mean, Michael Keane has been excellent for the last six, eight months of the season. It's been good, yeah. And he's made a mistake. He's not seen the kid. I mean, imagine if you slow it into very slow, 60 frames per second, you'll probably see him go... and the lad gets past them and it's a good fair play to him. Nice finish. It's a good finish. And really, that was the only shot they had till about the 75th minute and then the goal they scored. They did nothing after that. That was the most annoying thing. They did nothing, but have energy. They had energy and he hassled and he got in our faces. And we didn't like it. And that meant that Andre Gomez every time got the ball it ended in the cloud or it ended in the five yards behind. Well, yeah, exactly. Because like there's moments where all you have to do is play a simple ball and go. But by hand the player, in front of the player, there's one bit in the second half we're getting too far now where it takes two players on. You think, yes, right, popping in the box, passes it behind because James Gomez off for a throw and it goes. I said in the first half when you look Andre Gomez is that not fit or he's creeped in back into his shell and he can't, he's become a crab which is the safe part. I hope it's because he's not fit. Yeah. But the thing about Andre Gomez is I think is that I think within the first 10 minutes you look at him and go you're not going to have a good game today. No, you can say it sometimes, yeah. So obviously they took the lead. And really, we should have got back into the game. You know, quite quickly. Snadlan played a really good ball actually over to. Yeah. It was one of the only times that James got actually beaten back. Sure. And it was one of the only times he pulled off a good ball and it was a lovely pullback. Don was exactly where you want him to be. Penalty spot. And unfortunately, I think again this is the limitations with Donman Carvalunas. He's just tried to get it on target whereas an agwerau or someone like that sweeps that into the bottom corner. Yeah, of course. Or, you know, top corner. Because they're not even tops like us, confident tops like us, they're not even thinking about scoring, the thing about where they're going to put it. Don is, unfortunately, in a position where he's thinking, I just need to hit the target and hopefully it will go in. Let's relax, though, composure, because like, you know, obviously, it's just a split second, but I can imagine him going, oh, guys, I've got to get on target. There's the balls coming to him. Whereas, you've got that real strikers, like the ice on you, sweeping the corner and off to celebrate. That's all he'd do. Whereas, as you say, all he was looking to do was just get it on target. Because if he did it over the bar, you can imagine what would be said, the G is the booze, whatever, not the booze, but you know, the G is. And I think that's the problem with him at the moment, is not only has he not got that natural instinct, but also he's scared of making mistakes again. He only wants to do something and it was a poor finish, but obviously there's that angle where everyone's going round social media where it's like, off the goals open, but it's a split second for him, I suppose. No, no, I'm not defending him. It's just that. That's the level striker he is. No one's sat here thinking he's going to be the world's best striker. He's just, he's just, he's being Everton's best option up to now. And I think that'll change now. I think that'll change. I think Moise Keane will start on Wednesday night and he won't look back from that. And it'll be as simple as that. And we'll come on to, you know, we'll come on to the changes in a bit, but that was the big chance and it hasn't gone in. And they get away with it, get their crowd up, you know, and then they settle into the game. Come back a lifetime, I'm thinking, right, we might have a couple of changes here. The manager said, no, I don't know why. It's only in 15 minutes. No, in 15 minutes, nothing changed, did it? But he brought a woe beyond, he brought Keane on, went 4-4-2 on about the hour, wasn't he? Yeah. And those players, those players did, did, they obviously make a change. They obviously made a difference to the way we played. They were setting the more pace, more movements, like they'd carry the ball up-field, don't they? That's another thing. Ever haven't got many players who like to carry the ball for long distances, have they? Alex Ooby, you know, people have said things about it, you know, people don't rate it from Arsenal, but go on the ball, go past two minutes, it's lovely ball down the line to Keane, he's in space. That's the type of thing you can do. You can get a side of trouble, you can break the press, you can break the lines. And then, you know, and obviously he wasn't playing, he was playing on the left, we had a bit of a free roll because he was running, he was coming across the pitch, trying to get involved. But as he learned, it still goes out wide before it goes to him. That's the most frustrating thing, isn't it? The ball always goes out wide. So last night, literally Gomez and Snideland could have run all the way to the edge of the box. They would run to the edge of the box, unopposed, and then Villa were like, well, do something now, do something. And every time, instead of someone, like you were saying, getting on the ball and making an intelligent pass to an intelligent little run, or giving it to someone who's feeding the box, every time Sheamus Coleman or every time Dean or a Wobie, every single time. And it's becoming so predictable now that all we ever do is go wide. Honestly, if anyone's ever watched me in basketball and Roll to Glory, right on the pit, we're rubbish at it, so all we do is we get it wide and throw it in, see what happens, because we don't. And that's what like watching Everton's like, it's like good sides go through the middle of the park, that's what good sides do. The fine space, the sensor form makes an intelligent run, or there's a midfield runner or a midfield runner goes past the centre forward and someone plays an intelligent ball. No, we just go wide all the time and we are so predictable. And that's one of the big problems and that's got to start changing. And maybe that's, I don't know what that is, but maybe that's why Guilffy Sigarton never gets on the ball. I was going to say about Guilffy Sigarton's first star performance. The first three games was pretty poor, the two games were pretty poor for him. Now he had chances, he almost created things, but general overall play wasn't involved enough. The first half he was more involved. Again, no, there was times, right? And if you look at the positions again, this time he wasn't as high. He was a bit off-dom this time. And you could see him standing on the edge of the box and always waiting for us to call him, someone to cut it back to him. The ball was never coming back as it was going out wide all the time. Now, I'm not saying he's been good because he's not because he's still ghosting through games, not doing much. But this ball has to go in the middle for someone to do something. I'd rather go the ball go in the middle than he fails. Yeah, all right, then get him off the team or whatever. But the fact the ball keeps going, as you say, you can draw the line. It's not really from Dean to Gomez to Schneiderlin. It's just the line that goes round the circle. And it's just... It generally does happen, though, where you'll see Dean pull it back, Gomez to Sigarton or Schneiderlin, and then over to... And it's like, well, one of you is just taking a chance and actually have a shot or... Try and put it inside somewhere, yeah. I think when Wobie came on, I think literally his face touch was, he tried to slide Moise Keane through and the timer was a little bit off, and they'd both come on the pitch, but straight away, I thought, this lad's trying to do something different. He's trying to slide people in. He's trying to do something a little bit different. They've got a box full of players. They sent her backs, are both monsters. Exactly. He was just a crosser, yeah. And we're throwing in crosses and saying, get your head on that. Well, as soon as he came on, writing out this, he drops, what he does, is he runs behind a player and then he runs in front of them to gain a half yard of space, shows for it. And then the ball just went wide, and I thought, and I thought, he put his hands up, welcome to heaven Alex. This is what's going to happen all the time because he was trying to get those spaces that Sigerson should be picking up himself. And he's looking to turn and turn one towards goal rather than just keep, because there was a moment where me, they got it on the edge of the box and it would come up way from the corner. The first thing is, they would pop it right back out to the side and it was near the halfway line and I thought, why? Just turn? Even if you turn into trouble, just turn and push it wide, but turn towards goal, there's a problem with everything that goes wide, even Bernard and with Charleston are far too wide as well. I know the wingers, right? But they should be in the half space. So they're actually not bunching two players up on Dean and coming. There should be one-on-one. Everyone should try. That's the aim of trying to break teams down. Everyone should try being one-on-ones. You try and break the one-on-one down. You get space then. But it's never like that. It just keeps popping it round, popping around. And the midfields part of the main problem with this because they are not putting balls essentially and they're not willing to take chances and they just stand on the ball. So we'll have a bit of emphasis. We'll break a pass and we'll get it. And the ball will go back to Gomez. He has to play a quick ball. Instead, he'll just pass to Snaglan. This is a big problem with army fielders. I said this on my reaction video last night. When people were asking the question, why do we need the Corae? Games like that are why we need to play like the Corae. Because I've sent Snaglan. Snaglan, right? Whatever you say about Snaglan, he's not the problem, right? And Gomez is not the problem. But when you put them together, they're a problem because they're both very similar players in terms of their body movements. They both want to run as far back as halfway in their own half and halfway up in the opposition's half. None of them. I don't think I've ever seen Andre Gomez, apart from the sit that he missed at Amphil, ever get in a position where you think, right, he's going to get on the end of something in the box? There's been a couple, right? I know that Valencia, however I know his hags by night, he used to do that. He used to go beyond the man. He used to take two players on and break the teams down. And Everton, I think the Barcelona thing, I always say this about him, it would take a match of it, he used to Chelsea. What happened is, they became scared to make mistakes because they built the team at these big clubs and it's killed them because they just don't make that. Like you get Gomez in the box, he's like, I just goes wide. Well, I think that after a problem with that, it is that, because we haven't got a garnetype who almost will get as out of, like, you know, get your out of prison free card, you know what I mean? We haven't got that kind of play now. So they're probably thinking, well, I have to stay in a position where I am sort of half one way, half the other way, and it doesn't work for us. But Schneidlin, all Schneidlin has to do with sit, he doesn't have to push up because his old job is a six to sit in front of those back two and patrol them and basically meet the man as they're breaking out and trying to shut down a play of tactics like Fernandine who does for City. But he's then coming wide. It's going with the two, so basically you've got a bank of four in the middle with the centre backs and they're all about ten yards three from each other. And basically it's four attacking plus the two wing backs you have to stay on the touchline anyway. But Gomez has sort of become a six, hasn't he? He's just getting deeper and deeper here. He's just getting deeper and deeper and deeper and because there's no energy in there or because Sigurdtson is somewhere where you can't see him. But in the first two games he was basically a second striker with some in the box, wasn't he? So there's not in the middle, that's where it always goes. Right, this is where I'm trying to... I don't know whether that's silver or that's the players not taking... Surely we just don't work at wide and training all the time because someone would go, oh Dan, this is too easy. Because all we're doing is teams are going, right sevens a day, have to narrow the full backs and have to push it out wide because we know we can deal with the crosses all day. That's all you do. Instead of going, but if we go narrow, then they might pick us off if they drag us out wide. You know what I mean? There's not in through the middle. They know that they can just sit... I'm just... I thought it would be played really well when it comes on and that gives me optimism that he can come in the side and he can make a real difference. Again, it's that idea of people, where will he play? For me, he wouldn't play out wide on the left. He'd play a lot more central for me. But yeah, because he picks up pocket to space and he can drive past the man. Like, if he's picking the ball up at like halfway through the opposition half, you can turn and run a people and beat a man and that opens it up for people. Then you should have done or hopefully moist keen as it is and should be now. Run off and he can slide. He's capable of sliding past you. Prom a guilty six and he plays too high. He doesn't drop and that's it and he can't go past the man. He has to gain. He has to buy that yard. I think keen and wobby when they came on, they showed that. They are those different kinds of players. They are those kind of players that... The... Well, we obviously hit the post very unlucky, you know, in another game. That bounce, it goes in, but it's the goalkeeper all comes out to an ever player, which probably would have been kicked over. But in this game, it's just, it never went in. So straight away, you can see, wants to be on the end of things, wants to take responsibility. Keen the same, Keen's all over the pitch. You know, one point, he got booked for... he fouled from an off off outside that area. Wants to be involved in the game and they want to be on the... you know, and the chance, the wallcott chance, which is just horrific, but... The wobby slipped Keen in to the bar line. He makes a sensible decision instead of going, let's walk out, set himself, put the ball. It took a bounce fair enough, right? All he had to do was push it in and he sighed foot to the bar. Well, if he does what Don does, he scores there. If he gets it on target, he scores. And we draw back him? Yeah. But the point being is that. There's intelligence there. There's intelligence there. We don't do that enough. Keen's making a run so a wobby can find him. We don't have, like I was saying in the first half, Don doesn't make those runs to be slipped in behind enough. He just wants to go back to... That's what I'm saying. Don't want to go back to goal. The sentiment fielder's and Guilfri Sigurds and don't want to run forward. So essentially, then, you've got nobody going that way. And as soon as a wobby and Keen come on, the two of them want to go that way. And the aim of football, by the way, is to go that way. One team goes that way and the other team goes that way. Do you know what I'd say about those two? Right? Everyone else is dead rigid. It's so rigid. And then two are off the cuff. They're not playing. You're a striker. So stay central. No. In the channel. Like what we used to do. Keen's in the channel trying to pick things up. A wobby dropping to space on the left, coming across to the right. Where's the rest of them? Just stay in the position. There's no fluidity. There's no fluidity. That's a... If you do it, then the team has to start doing as a whole. You should do. Which also made a really good run in the first half when you come off the right and moved essentially more to the left-hand side and had a shot and went out for a corner. And that was really... The Charleston, apart from that and the sort of penalty incident, which I'm really surprised VAR didn't check. I thought they would check. I think they did check, didn't they? They just didn't stop and they checked. Yeah, but normally like Sky say. I thought they had to check the handballs as well. They must have had to check the handballs because two handballs or potential handballs wasn't there in the box. But there's one where Mina blocked. Yeah, that was one of them. One where it bounced up and then bounced onto his hands. It wouldn't have been handball. Yeah, yeah. And then there was another one which was slight, but I thought they would have checked that. But those two moments were only with Charleston's on. And he's been a reason why we haven't been playing well in the first three games because he's been miles off it. Because he's in their own position. But no, understand that he's been miles off it because physically he's miles off it. And I don't know. I don't know what they'll do with him but hopefully he'll play as well. I don't know where the Brazil have got a game in a couple... They'll have a friendly. I hope they have. I'll sadly make the money. It'll be here though but it won't be over there. It'll be New Zealand but he needs... He can do it a couple of weeks off. Another couple of weeks off. But you're right. But plays like with Charleston probably and Bernard would enjoy that fluidity. He would, yeah. Because they can change positions. So basically you'd have Moise Keane who just sends a strike here and then he can say to Bernard so this is with Charleston. Swap. I'll drift out wide. You run in and create the space strike. The players are in a position. Because players can't set themselves then and the problem with everything is they know how we're going to play. It's then easy to set up to defend us. There's nothing that's going to do a difference. That's why I'm not scoring goals because teams know to set up. It's not even scoring goals. We're not making chances. Chances, yeah. It's not even quality chances. We don't make chances. It's something that's been going on. I've said this before. It's been going on for a while now. It's been going on. It's current's first season. We just... It's all good up to a point and then it is that idea if we're too safe because if we're not commitment forward then we're not overloading teams. We're not overloading teams. Then we're not getting men into areas to get balls into the box and maybe I don't know whether that's... people are worried about them being overrun themselves or if there's not enough players in the team that can get up and down or what. I don't know what it is but maybe that again, that energy having players like a Wobie and the team having players like Moise Keane in the team might. Hopefully Gabarman as well when he gets back here. Well, I mean that's... I think the problem with Gabarman is you're just going to have to write them off for now. Yeah, he's going to come back and try again. Adam, say you've just got to write them off because it's not going to be... Christmas, yeah. It's like Gomez from last season. You just have to write these players off and stop thinking, well, it's all right when he comes in. You have to come up with a solution now for that problem and I don't know what the solution is maybe whether it's a flat three, get a Wobie into the sentiment field. Go play 4-4-2. Maybe get 4-4-2. Maybe 4-4-2. I played with Charleston from Keane. Honest, I think them into changing and dropping into the channels. And then who would you play on the right? Benar, because he doesn't need to cut in on his right foot. He doesn't need to cross it. Sorry, I thought you were going to say woke up, obviously. No, but I've always thought this. Benar obviously plays on the left all the time, right? But he's not going to cut in and hit the ball all the time as a shot. So if he's only going to cross it, then play him on the right. You know what I mean? That's what he's going to do. And then play a Wobie on the left. And then have him cutting in. OK. Free roll. Free roll? That's what I want. I'm trying to find a way to fit our best players in the team, basically. And basically, I think with Charleston, Wired, it's just a waste. He's a decent dribbler, not a good dribbler. He's an OK passer, but he can't break things down. I wouldn't. But wouldn't. I don't know. Get him a course to go. Wouldn't Dom. Wouldn't Dom. People are like, you're trying to get Dom in the team. No, but wouldn't Dom be the... be the foil for... Yeah, I get that. Right. I understand. And that is usually how it works. But we just... I just want a bit of fluidity. Maybe I'm... Usually, yeah, because if you look at... I'll do a quick side. Ben Fee can play a 4-4 two last season with Joe Felix. He was your with Charleston Keen. And then you had Seferovic or Jack Jonas, who was your Dominic Havill when he'd hold the ball up and let them do with him. But there's ways to play it. I think even a 4-3-3, you'd have... I'd go with Wobie, with Charleston Keen. I wouldn't have been hard in there and I'd have a 3-3. Obviously, there'd be... Would not... Let me just... Let me just... Wouldn't the simplest thing to beat to do would be to swap Moise Keen, Don for Moise Keen and a Wobie for Sigarton. Yes, for now. But... Because he's took... It's took all this time to get us up to this point where we found a sort of solution that works. Well, it did, didn't it, at the back end of the season? But even I was saying then that you're only working in certain teams. They give us space to play direct because when teams sit back, there's no space for that to work. And that's the problem. And that's why when we go away from home, we're poor. And that's the difference. And I've always said that. You know, saying to my Dominic Havill is he's not on a waste right here. He's someone that'll help you when you're alone to get with Charleston and Bernard in the game. But away from home, when you get limited chances, you need someone at the end who's clinical. And he's not clinical. So I think Wednesday night is really important because I think Moise King can... We can see a bit more of him. We can see a bit more of a Wobby, maybe Sadeeby. Get Tom Davis up and running as well. Well, he's another one. He's a... You should have started. He should have came at that time. I can't understand why. Honestly. I just don't understand why you get overlooked. I honestly don't. I can't. When you look at that game last night and you think, right, who's someone we can bring on to get in the midfield? And the thing about Tom is, and this is why some people don't like him, is because he does take risks. He is prepared to play passes that people go, that could end up with them getting the ball. He is a risk taker. He will overload. He will get in the box. He will snap at people's heels. But that's no different from, like, little what Grealish was doing last night. Exactly. And what John McGinn was doing last night. That's what Tom will give you. And he will make silly little files. But to me, the manager's got to look at him again, because he's completely, I honestly don't understand. I would have left Bernard on and took Sigurdson and Gomez off last night's lifetime. I think if you put Tom Davis in there, you have someone who's going to link who will be up, he's going to put the ball into him straight away. Or even the way they were playing. Just took Snadlin off and said to Gomez, just sitting in front of the back four. Because these ain't coming. All these are doing. It's time to play a long ball and catch our centre-backs out. You sit in front of the back four, then you can win that baseball. Tom then would have 10 yards to the one in two. And then he's another attacking option. That to me, bringing Wolcott on isn't nonsense. It's absolute nonsense. It was a waste of time. Yeah, I agree. Because let's be honest. If the chance falls to a Charles, he's probably scoring now. Let's be honest. Chance falls to Tom Davis. Exactly. And I think what the problem with Wolcott is, another player who's actually his confidence is clearly going, I can't remember a chance he scored. I think I was scoring against Tottenham. I can't remember a one-on-one. I can't remember a one-on-one. They liked it. Yeah, we liked it. But I can't remember many one-on-ones. He's finished. Because every time he gets put in one-on-one. But it's not the one-on-ones and it's then chances. Yeah, yeah, the snap on. It's the one-on-ones, but it's the ones where we actually need them to bury like that. It's going to drop them. Compose yet? He does this thing where it's like, he's a right winger. So I have to replace him with a right winger. Don't think outside the box. Play 43. Sage of shame is coming there. Play fader up. Play fader up and start taking that chance. You're in the last 10 minutes of a game. Start pushing up. Let's see what they can do. These have got anything. Because he wins. Last 10 minutes. Tresigame was a goal. You didn't even touch the ball. Last 10 minutes of a game for them. They're thinking, we won three points here. So everything just two feet. So all you got to do is every time they recycle, get it going again. So get players higher up the pitch. And I think, Tom is the kind of player that will look for a pass through the middle. We've got to start looking now at other ways of playing. Because it's like, I'm not listening. It's not throwing the baby out with the bath water yet. But let's be honest, right? The first three games we haven't played well. The signs last weekend's Wafford that the midfield was getting overrun. It didn't have the legs. And we just did enough. We just did enough. And obviously we had Gabamen in there. But now we're looking at the prospect of having no one with. God knows when Del's going to be back. I mean, he might be back for Wolves. I don't know. He might be back on Wednesday. But he isn't necessarily going to go taking out midfield into something or not. No, he isn't. I know he's going to get on the ball and he has a good pass on the ball. But again, without thinking about an athlete in midfield and Gomez had a decent game against Wafford last week defensively. He's terrible defensively. He doesn't make the right decisions. He's at it. The second goal last night, he just fell out. I'm honest to God. It was like Ghost from the film in the 90s. He just ran right through him. You know what I mean? That midfield as well as obviously the attack and play needs to be sorted because the shape of that ball off front from five essentially or the front's five including the midfield is all wrong. We've ended up last night with 65% possession. And we've ended up with two shots on target. And I think that to me is the most worrying stat is that again another game where we scored one goal in three games. And okay, and we've only had another couple of more chances per game. We just don't make chances and that straight away says that there's something fundamentally wrong with the way we set up. It's not, it's, you know, and if Silver now has got the autonomy to turn around and go right, we're doing it like this and if you don't like it, I've got Moise Keane bank. I've got a Wobby bank. They can come straight into the team because that performance. And I know afterwards he came out and he said he thought we didn't deserve to lose. I can understand where he's coming from because there was times in the game when as an Evertonian, you're sitting with your head in your hands. Every time we kick the ball out or every time the ball will turn something poor happens. But that was us, that was us doing something. It wasn't really dictating how we played. They had a lot of energy and they might have forced some mistakes. But they weren't, like, coming at us in droves. I mean, they... I can't remember winning the ball in the sense of the park that much. It was mostly us crossing it, going out, keeper getting it, whatever. There was never, like, a bit where they won the ball out. They've hit really and caused us problems. It was a bit where me and Ed had the ball straight to their player but he snuffed that out quickly. But, yeah, again, it wasn't, it was us making our own issues. We were giving them positions and then winning it, yeah, essentially. I've said this all week, every time someone says, oh, Chelsea are there to be caught, or whoever's there to be caught. No, no, we've got to get 65 points. And this is my big promise, that everything is great until something has to be done. And last night, something has to be done where you go away from home. You cut, you know, all the pressures on us in terms of everything. Can you, like, can you just go out there and win? And I see a lot of fans going, oh, yeah, 3-0 tonight and all this. I'm just, for me, I don't see, I don't know, maybe it's my age or maybe I've seen enough, but I just don't have optimism. I look at it black and white and say to myself, are we good enough? And I think to myself, we're not good enough, we're just not good enough because, so we're in games of football, you have to make chances, you have to force, you have to go at teams and have a plan where it's like, you're relentless, you stay on them till you've weighed them down. We don't do that. We start games sometimes, well, and then after about 10, 15 minutes, like last night, go, right, we're bored of that now. Or to the minute the opposition go, we need to step it up. And when the opposition step it up, we don't seem to have another gear. It's like we go, all right, it's your turn now. Yeah. It's like, you know, we go, right, we'll have a big five minutes that you just get back in the game. After an hour, I was looking at the game going, going, Dave had nothing since they scored. In your mind, you're like, this is tough, but you know, they've had one chance and it was one silly, silly mistake by the defence. And you're like, they've done nothing, but we look terrible. Because it was just no impetus. It went 1-0 down, you think, right. Let's stop putting pressure on them. Let's find a way. Yeah, yeah, let's try different things. Let's break them down. But no, let's stand on the ball in the field. Wait till it opens up wide, go wide. If I'm looking at Dean, I'm thinking, why do I have to cross the 25 times a game? You should be stepping balls back on the edge of the area. For Andre Gomes, someone who's caught him. The other thing I would say is, how slow our pass is. Oh, it's just like... It's been like that for years, though. It's never crisping into people's feet. It's always... I get an area on it, what's between Dean and Bernard? It was out at BAM, BAM, BAM. I can't even remember it's Bernard. Bernard didn't do anything particularly bad. He never did anything particularly good either. I'd say that Charlotte as well. I think it's been quite enormous in the first half. Charsen did okay at the start of the game, but then it was late in the game before he got took off, where he got the ball and thought, I'd do something nice. Run into three players. It's decision making. I like Bernard and Charsen. It's decision making to become a top player that really needs to come on because he's making terrible decisions a lot of the time. I think that this is the problem. I think there's a lot of talent in the team. It's just not being moulded. I'm not saying it's something. Marcus Silver needs to find the system that fits the talent that we've got. Not play this system that suits basically Guilffy Singleton's on the carpet loon, which is what it is doing at the moment, that direct style of play. Let's try something different. Let's get the wingers to come off the wing. Let's do something. It's time now as well. He's got this game. You can go, right lads, it's not working. We can see it here. These three games. Let's try and change it. You just have to say, oh, I've got this 45 million at number 10. We've got this young striker you want to work in. Let's play like this. He doesn't have to do that now. He can just do it how he wants. Play 4-3-3. Play 4-4-2. Play six up front. Whatever you want to do, just do it. The excuses are gone. The excuses for all the players now are gone. We've got a world where things showed enough. Moose Keane showed enough. And there'll be other players like Sadibi. Colman needs to be pushed. Colman was bad defensively at times last night. But again, it's his final ball. I think that's why it goes all the way down the left all the time again, which is another thing. There's no space teams out, but anyway, I digress. It was crap. Let's just put it that way. It was crap. Paul isn't putting it mild. And we've been beaten. Can I just say that Gomez was absolutely horrendous last night? He was horrendous? He was horrendous? Do you know what? I really don't like saying that because I know he suffered from criticism in the past, but at the end of the day, he can't have a performance like that, not be criticised. He was terrible. And I hope he comes back for a better next week. But come on. The manager's got a lot to think about and we've got a long time to think about it. You can imagine how much Marcel Brands probably sat there watching that. He probably threw his... He wasn't here. He was sitting through the window. Honestly, God, it was the kind of performance that makes you just not want to watch another game of football. I had to watch it again this morning. Fuck off. I don't even want to... Honestly, I don't want to even... Yeah, getting this out the way in London. Yeah. There you go. That is all you thought in the comments on the game. It was horrendous. It was.
