 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the final word ever to nil as the city 2. I'm joined by Mike Cosgolf and it just feels really... this feels like one of the worst ones we've done all season doesn't it? It's fucking shy man. I mean it's cracking start to the show, there you go. Cracking start to the show. Thanks for that Mike. It's the world cup soon. Let me just before we start, one of our viewers on my live show left a comment on it and I had to, it was a you know, he'd actually paid for it and I forgot to do it and I just wanted to mention it now. Jay Talathe said, the machinery era has killed my passion, having to talk about football for the living, I don't envy you and Baz, it must be hard to roll the cameras some days. Jay, yeah, yeah it is, yeah it is. I've been talking to Mike off camera about maybe starting a travel blog or something going on trains or you know, I know what, sometimes I'd rather be Ross Kemp going to like the most dangerous places in the world. You can do that with the trains. Yeah. Combine it. I'd rather do that sometimes. With the headcam. Then watch Evan honestly. Yeah. Honestly. They just kill me sometimes, they just kill me and Saturday was a massive example of that and all the fallout that come with it. Saturday was everything. That could go wrong in a game of football, rolled into one. The kickoff time, bonfire night, playing a bunch of toys, just no game plan, no attack and threat. Defensively didn't look like we have been. It was just basically everything that could go wrong. Yeah. And basically the whole weekend was like that as well. The whole weekend was like everything that could go wrong. The team, like you just like, you wanted all the doors and teams coming back and winning and just all the results were horrible and then the injuries which we'll talk about. Just just like I can't wait for the welcome. Do you know, I'll be honest, right? I know loads of people like love going to match. I don't know where they get that from. Going to match to me is still just, it's still just that thing of like this again. Yeah. Games like that don't make it any better. I'm going to say that. That's the problem as well. We had that little bounce in me last season where going to game was at least enjoyable in terms of my atmosphere and feeling like you were really contributing to something. I mean, fully slipped back into the sit there and you know, you're trying to wait for something to happen and if you're going to wait for something to happen and go to some party, you'll still be there now because I'm still baffled as to what our game plan was going into that game. I couldn't tell you what we set up to do, what we were trying to execute. Let's have a little listen to the manager's thoughts after the match. Well, they were good opposition, so we missed some big chances to probably two of the better chances of the game with critical moments early in the game and early in the second half. Possession, 50-50-ish. Tried to get after them a little bit when we had moments of good pressure and moments, maybe we were a little bit off it on that sense, but against a good footballing team I didn't want to give them the sense of coming here and controlling us and pushing us back. I thought we competed in lots of ways and in the end we came up against a very good team with good individuals in good form and showed their quality at the top end of the pitch. We couldn't find that. So, I mean, listen, he always does look quite composed when he talks to us and he's not like in a panic or anything. He obviously does know it's a... Well, certainly he feels like it's a long-time project, which is when you watch it on a field, it feels like that, but I honestly don't know whether any football team is a long-time project. I think that's the problem he's got, is that no football team a long-time. We've seen that recently with Villar and Southampton have now sat in manager. I'm not advocating something, by the way, I'm just saying it's interesting that that's how he comes across, which is good. You want that calmness to say I keep the fan's calm, but he got it spectacularly wrong on Saturday. Like, like massively, like genuinely, it felt like to me everything he did helped Lester. That's how wrong he got at Saturday. I agree. I think, since you're off camera, my frustration is, and obviously, first and foremost, you can talk about the manager making mistakes without wanting them sacked, I can't if it, because that's all you'll ever hear. But I'm sick of him referencing still back to last season, and I know, I just feel like, look, we've moved on. The start at 11 feels very different than the players that were starting back then. So first and foremost, I really, really want them to move away from continually referencing back to last season. We know it was rubbish, but it's jobs to make it not rubbish, and it's still rubbish. So can you see elements and parts that have improved? Of course we can, we're not stupid. We can see the defensive unit looks a lot stronger and a lot better than it was, albeit still not perfect. We can appreciate the different dynamic of the midfielders he's brought in, albeit to me, I still don't think he's found the right blend of how that works, but personal wise, it's improved. But it's a result game, isn't it? And fundamentally, at the minute, we're, you know, well, we won three games this season, 14 played. I just don't think it's good enough for every football club, in my opinion. I think if you can tally those lack of results, but you've got the performances, which we had at the start of the season, I felt in some of the defeats, in some of the draws, that you could feel like you were going somewhere. I would say the last six or seven games, it feels like it's gone off rails. Yeah, well, I mean, we had the, obviously we had the run. I mean, first of all, you know, you're talking about a football club that completely dismissed the first five games of the season, which again is unacceptable. That's unacceptable to me. You don't play 38 games in a season. You don't play 33. We completely dismissed the first three games, first five games till the window shut, which to me is a disgrace, by the way. I mean, and that hasn't been pointed out enough. That's a disgrace, writing off the first five games, which would do a lot of winnable games in there. They feel it away, for us to hope. You know, they winnable games at home. I know it sounds stupid, but they're not looking like the, you know, going to, you know, Brentford and Leeds. You know, they were winnable games that we ripped off by having no centre forward, essentially. Now we brought them out by him, but towards the end. But even these bigger teams, they're all winnable games if you have the right mentality. If you do have the right mentality, we've seen that recently. So, and you're right, then we had the run, you know, and we went on a bit of a run. And yeah, that was all good. And then I ended by Manchester United. And we've only won one game since. And granted, the Palace game was a really good performance, by the way. It was. And everything clicked that day. And that's why, again, Satie, I don't understand why the, you know, I know he's made, he said he brought McNeill in just to change it up. Fair enough. I don't really know what it adds to the team. What did you think of that? Sorry, by the way, just after the back of, I thought, obviously our last home performance was our best attacking performance by Country Mile. I thought that was a little bit strange to do that. I understand that away performance haven't warranted them necessarily staying in the team. Gordon's not being, we all know he's not being particularly good, but I think you pick a side sometimes based on the equivalent. And I told Palace, obviously being our last home game, you go with pretty much the same team, although I would have brought Palace in back. And I just thought it was very strange to change it. I would have thought, see, do I make Neil for me? We're playing more in away games because he gives you that. Gives you someone who'll sit in front and make a line call and be a bit more solid defensively. Or even actually you can have Gordon and take Grail because Grail's numbers defensively are abysmal. Absolutely abysmal in terms of pressing and stuff. They're just shocking. So maybe you take him away from home, but then you look at the other thing and go, well, he's got pace, so it's the counter attack. But I don't know, I wouldn't have taken him out. I'm putting him on the left. Obviously he's got a bit of play. It just makes the left have no threat at all. But for me, the strangest decision was pushing on out of fear of the forward. And I think everyone was a little bit shocked by that in the ground. People were looking at it. And I thought, was he manmarking Tealmans or what? But I'm watching thinking, where are you playing because you look lost? And he's come out after the game and said that he had an ankle injury as well. Well, why is he playing on an ankle injury? And why is he playing then in a less familiar role? And that to me was where it started going wrong, making changes that were to maybe stop Leicester, but he did that. And that once to me was a very, that just didn't work. No, he felt like little cute clever changes that he thought, but they were, like I said, I thought that was spectacularly wrong because he just didn't get control of them at field. I felt like we had one man in the field and Ghana run right like a lunatic. And at one point, Ghana was higher than a Wobie and O'nana pressing when we, when a Wobie actually got his chance, he was the one that nicked the ball back. And actually I think that's when it does work, if O'nana sits and he is the fella and that allows Ghana to go and press. That's what Ghana was always good at. He's not a sit. He's not somebody sitting in front of the back front. We've seen him. His passing is awful. So for him to take the ball off the back foot doesn't make any sense. He's the one who presses. He's the one, you know, he's the one who goes looking for the ball, press it, nicks it. And I don't really only actually did well in that, but then it started exposing the space behind them. And when he give it away with a few stupid five, 10-year passes, it left that big hole for us and they just kept on running at us. We started okay in the game and obviously one of the big moments was a Wobie early on. Fantastic opportunity. We nicked the ball off the back foot. Don does really well holding it up. Slides him in and everyone in the game thinks it's a goal. Everyone just thinks it's a goal. No one can believe how he's missed it. It's dead easy to say. This is where it's funny because people go, if he scores that it's a different game. Isn't the fact that he didn't score it where we're going wrong as a football club? Isn't that one of the main issues is that that's what we're seeing too much of the time. We get very few chances and when we do get them we miss them. Well that's what I was going to say because we've got, we've had two big chances in the game and we are absolutely clinging on to dear death about the mountain because we don't create any more. If I was a Leicester fan I could probably pin point ten real good opportunities that I think they got in and around the box. That would just shut up, it would just fit. When it's against us it's like oh you don't, but they were massive chances. Massive chances that they gave up. I thought they could have had five or six goals comfortably. But we're clinging on to two. We had two chances in the game. We missed that chance and there is that shell shock and then you look at it and think we can get these, if we press them high up, never happen again. It felt very similar to the Man United game. We started out, we pressed them. We took a few minutes to get into the game actually and then we got on the front foot. We pressed them and Wobby scores that great goal and then suddenly we just retreated the halfway line and allowed them to have the ball and I said again off camera I'm getting sick of, my thing that I'm getting sick of Lampard with is from his interview perspective is every team that's above us, well they're the better ones that are above us, we can't be competing with them. And his interview with Leicester is a much better football side than us. It's like well who are we meant to be to? We're not meant to be beating teams who are below us obviously at the time and teams who are above us. It's a case of are we giving every team too much respect here? When we're at home we need to just be blood, thunder, understand what we are, understand what we've got. We're not daft are we? Attack on wise, the players we've got, they're not the players that you need. We know that, they're not at the club. But his job from, he knew that, that transfer in the close September 1. From that detail now, his coaching staff and him have got to come up with a way with the players he currently has. That's his job, he's a coach. He's got to come up with a way and a system of formations of creating chances. And we don't do it? Yeah, you're absolutely right. And I think about this game is, I mean, I don't want to seem to go overboard because I know a lot of people are expecting me too, but I'll do it for you. It's not about going overboard, it's about looking at and going. All the failings, all the little failings that have been there, have all been exploited in this game, you know, the how many shots we have against us. I mean, Bas spoke about this in the match preview. If anyone was going to take advantage of the shooting, it was going to be Leicester, they've got Tealmans, they've got Madison, they've got Harvey Barnes, they've got players who can really, you know, the top end of the pitch, they're a very talented team. And, you know, they'll go through the gates this season, they've sorted the defense out, they're not what they were, but they'll be all right. If anyone was going to exploit it, it was them and that's because we keep on allowing shots on outside the box and they will have known that. You know, but how's that not being remedied? That's my problem. I don't know because I watched the press moments on Friday and Frank Llanpaw basically almost accepted it. It's just that's the way it is. And I was like, it's like, we're giving up chances, but they're not really that good chances. Like, well, yeah, but you're going to come across a team. That can't exploit that unless they do. It's like, people will go, oh, that's a wairdee, but Tealmans does that all the time. He scores wairdee. That's his thing. You know, that's his thing. He scores wairdee. And all those things come to fruition. We've been reliant so much on Conacody and so much on James Tachoski and Michael Llancow defensively as well. On Pickford. I'm Pickford, yeah. I'm Pickford more than anybody. Pickford saves this season, you know. Now on Satie, he was a little bit offered. I don't know where the firewakes came from. It's like a dog without the caramel, wasn't it? But he still makes saves and that's what he's big at. Without him, if he's not in good form, we're going to struggle this season. I get it. People are going over the top. I don't think I am. I think after 14 games, I think we should have some semblance of what we're trying to do. And I don't quite know what we're trying to do, apart from half defenders who are going to be, you know, who are in the trenches. I don't know what we're doing going forward. I don't see it pattern to play. Set pieces are a disgrace, by the way. An absolute disgrace. We haven't scored off on Barth Southampton, I think, which was a free kick. That's the only one. We've not scored from the corner. There's a disgrace. Now at the other end of the pitch, we've got that right. But I can't stress enough, we will not have a good season by just keeping clean sheets or defensively being sand. It just can't happen. Especially if you're not scoring from things like set pieces. So we've got to, there's this thing of like, oh, it's okay because we haven't got the players or blah, blah, blah. People, you're supposed to coach players. You're supposed to make them better. You're supposed to create opportunities for your players. You're supposed to come up with something if it's not working. And it's not working because it's not working. This is what worries me. 14 games, November doesn't matter. We cannot score goals. We cannot hit the goal. We were looking at the stats before we came on. Harvey Barnes had more shots on target than Everton did in the whole team. Harvey Barnes, we were looking at comparisons on some of our players and just trying to see what was. Harvey Barnes had more shots on target. This evident team is terrified of shooting. I've sent her forward. I've sent her forward. He had one shot. That's a disgrace last week. Last week is the same. The week before is the same. Palace is actually an anomaly. Everyone will go. Everyone will point to Palace and go, oh, see that's what we can be with an anomaly. It's a complete anomaly. The other games are what's real. Palace is just one of those days where it all fell for us. I was stressed. They had one midfielder. But those things have to be looked at massively. And whether you're like Frank, don't like Frank, doesn't matter. You've got to look at it and be realistic and go, something has to be done, whether that's in the coaching for six weeks or whether that's in January and go, we already know we're bringing in whoever. And this is going to sort us out. That's my issue. Sorry to jump in, but that's my issue there is. If he's going, we've identified this, that and other for January, but he's paid to get results now as well. There's January and that's what's really starting to annoy me. As evident fans, we find ourselves constantly waiting for something else. The answers are going to be when Calvertly won't come back. He's back. That's not the answer. The answer is when the transfer window opens, well, it needs to be answered because... Do you know what's funny? We were doing the live before and Ned made a great point. He said, just that alone is funny, innit? We were talking about the charlison and not replacing the charge from which we know. He basically said, I thought it was a brilliant point, Ned. I said, why I'm stressing it. We replaced the charlison with two players that were playing as good as them last season, which is Grey and Gordon. I know Grey played a lot. And then the replacements are not even good enough to replace Grey and Gordon, which are Malpie and Dwight MacNeill. It's like realistically, right? When you think of it like that, he's absolutely spot on. He's nailed it there. I know we were never going to get anyone to replace him, but we've replaced him with a place we already have and we've bought backups for those players and that's what's incredible. Realistically, if you haven't had an abort, Dwight MacNeill and Malpie in the summer, we'd be looking to offload them in January, wouldn't we? I think we'll be looking to offload Malpie next summer. And I'd be looking to offload Dwight MacNeill. They're not good enough and I do not care. I do not care who is this or whether people agree with me or disagree with me. Those two players are not good enough. They are not taking us anyway. Malpie is technically a good footballer. But the problem is, he's not a backup for Domino Carmel. So straight away, you look at it and go, you go Friday afternoon and Dom comes in and goes, ooh, I'm feeling it. Then you've gone, you've trained all week and you've set your team up and you've got Domino Carmel, he's your focal point. And you've got Malpie's playing. The whole team has to change. The whole team has to look to do different things and when you bring them off the bench, it's the same. You've got to have players who have a likeness for each other and they don't. And to act like Neil's just, for me, he's simply not good enough. He's got no pace and keep on doing this thing. He's only 22. If he hasn't got pace by now, he ain't getting pace. You ain't got pace by 22, he's going to go downhill, innit? You ain't got pace by then and he ain't got no pace and he ain't got a trick and he's a weak man kind of footballer. But I watched him on Saturday and he just looked lost. He just didn't quite understand what he was supposed to do. If everyone had bought him for five million quid, people would keep going to me, we've only put five million down for him and now it's still going to pay the rest of it. It's no excuse. It's not good enough. He doesn't take his forward. Doesn't start, does he? I know he starts his game, but the only is. But it's right with Neil and Nell Mopai. And that's not against the playpad. It's not against the lad. Wakes have three. Probably can't believe his luck that he's had a club like Everton. But he's not good enough. He does not take his forward. You've wasted 35 million on two players. I'm not going to say they're not good enough. They just don't fit. They don't fit with what we're trying to do. Or they don't take his forward. I'd rather have got the 35 million and gone knock down I X's door two weeks earlier and gone can we have gooders? I'm not going to say that. I X's door two weeks earlier and gone can we have gooders please? Cos actually you can play off the wide but play down the middle. And play up front. Maybe you would get gold. Felt more like a replacement. Feels more like a replacement. The thing with those two is is if you've got your full strength and everyone's playing at the best isn't that on in the team, are they? And yet the players who are in the team aren't going to have that. It's that golden and grey are not good enough. And Mach Neil and Mopai obviously Mopai will get in if Dom is not playing. But I said this in the summer we should have been looking for someone better than Dom and I know financially that would have been a struggle and I get that. But if you're looking at Dom and going I'm not sure. Couple of years ago the manager's telling us that he doesn't train properly anymore because of he's worried about injuries. So I would have just gone who's like Dom not who's available who can I buy and again it's a failing of the football club it's not a failing of the football club this is a failing of the football club this is whether it's Kevin Felwell or whoever's releasing the pastings this is the football club allowing it to drift into the season not it's like honestly do you know when we were in Minnesota and they got B4 Neil it was like someone woke up to our baby way it was like honestly obviously we've been in Minnesota and being there around with the blues and people are like my face is dirty and a bass is different from me we know that my face is dirty and I'm like we are terrible and it was like that night people at the people Frank Lampard went oh my god we are terrible we are terrible we need plays and it wasn't long before the play started coming in after that it was like a reaction to that and obviously James Halkers was already in but it was like we need someone next to him we need to be solid because actually we've got nothing else we went to America and played two games and they watched the score ago at least they set the tone boy at least they did but it's like that and this is why I'm not I won't put the blame on Frank Lampard obviously him and his coaches it's all of it isn't it but what's happened is we've got to this point now and I know we're coming to the end of the break but you look at what we've got now and you go this will only be sorted out really by bringing in better players because Grey's not good enough, Good's not good enough Dwight McNeill's not good enough, Mopai's not good enough you've got to put your hand on your heart and seriously and go that's the truth and then you've got to look at the midfield and go it's all set up it's obviously set up wrong there's got to be some honesty we're going to move forward with the team there's got to be a little bit of honesty about where we are and it's not about having to go with Frank Lampard by the way that's the point Frank Lampard cultists are out there and I know they're out there and they want to tell you everything's fine because Frank is at the wheel and all that that's fine and the club loved that coasting loved that it gets them out of jail look what we've just put the new tunnels boss but then Saturday was moody it was moody there was no singing this was before the game I don't know what it was but before the game Saturday it's because you know you're not going to go there was a change in the atmosphere on Saturday and it wasn't during the game it was before the game it was like people did not want to be there you go with the game and you know you're not going to see goals that's the problem I'll be honest hand on heart I thought we were going to give you 4-0 Saturday but it was a 4-0 game these are going to smash a couple of long ones against us genuinely and then we'll go after it and they'll get us on the counter like they did with Wolves and it sort of played out that way didn't it it was a 4-0 game without them putting the ball on the net what a miserable section that was the positive is I've got a positive I do actually feel like there's players there within the squad to have a team that should comfortably be sitting mid table so and even with the real poor attacking options that we have I still believe because I look at that Premier League and I watch some of the games and they're absolutely atrocious there's a midfield there what can every team do though what can every team do didn't score goals but I think if we work a system and work something and have some sort of pattern of play there are still good enough players within that it might not be the wingers forget the wingers if it needs to be we get more midfielders on the pitch I still feel there's enough quality there to be able to have a attacking threat whether it be a completely different type of attacking threat but what we're trying to do at the moment isn't working it's continuing to persist with it I'm watching wingers that pick the ball up and just run they don't even know what they're trying to do they've got no idea of what's trying to happen for me at the start of the season Wolves playing a little bit deeper when Wolves was a little bit deeper I felt like we had a little bit more drive and a little bit more creativity he's hired up the pitch and when he's he's getting a bit more starved of the ball than he had been and I don't know there's players there look the back four good solid decent mid table Premier League players all day long keeper is striker should be when he's fit my field individually his players are there's options in my field as well it's the wingers fundamentally but it's still should be able to put something in place and it's frustrating me massively that we've gone from the start of the season to now and I still have absolutely no idea what we're trying to do don't get me wrong it's a work in progress and it just I think what was worrying about Saturday was and now this can just be a one off by the way so I'm not but what was worrying about Saturday was you looked at things that you thought were fixed oh god do you know what I mean and I know they can be like individual things but I thought the midfield against palace I thought that's how we should play O'nana sits Ghana then can maybe do a bit more pressing and I will be higher and then it's almost like a 4-2-3-1 then and I thought that works for us and then in this game he sits Ghana deep and then O'nana and I will be higher and it doesn't work and I'm like why you said before where at home why are we thinking about what less that are going to do against us who are below us in the league and I know that can be false but I thought that was weird do you think I would say just moving it on a little bit because obviously we were dreadful first half and the goal they scored was brilliant and it was being covered there's also and I've seen this because I looked at social media over the weekend I might have been part of social media over the weekend with some of my comments because people just don't like to be people don't like it when you like I put a tweet out saying 1-1-6 oh my god like being in the outstand it's a fact, it's a fact it happened we have won one game in six we've won one game in six and it's like oh no it was fine when we were on beaten in six you know so negative it's like but it's just the truth one thing that annoyed me was was we were playing out from the back and it was not working and we were continuing to do it and I've seen people going the fans need to educate themselves it was fine when it was against Palace and we scored right, Sam, get that but I will stress again Palace had one midfielder and no energy so we played out the back and it was fine and it worked and we scored Lester, well like that on us they smelled blood and they went after it and after a couple of times they knew they were going to win it back and whether it was picked the kick in it out panachem or whether Ghana give it away or one of our centre midfielders give it away Tarkovsky give it away a few times The others and the crowd just was like what are you doing literally put the board on for a goal kick and said to Pickford kick her up there and he told everyone to get out and it was like we need to regroup for five minutes here without them being in our faces because they are human if you push, push, push players will get tired and make mistakes and it took him luckily enough but it's that thing of like why are the crowd telling you and people are like people are going it's fair you shouldn't be like that but we're not stupid I'm sitting in the gladus seat and you're going they're going to score because they're good and you get this like negativity it's like no, players should know and luckily enough we've got two centre backs we've got brains we might come back to this in ten minutes but for now just stop and it's like you've got to have plays with a little bit about them sometimes on the pitch haven't you definitely when you're there you can feel it it's like the goal's coming the goal's coming so at that point you've really opened the team and the manager react to it I feel like you've done that but it was too late it definitely come too late we were getting the ball into O'nana we started getting to Ghana constantly and the lad was just giving it away O'nana, Ooby, too high up the pitch we were getting flooded and you could just feel it coming and it led to their goal and like you say, great goal but god we had three chances to clear that ball away as well it was frustrating and I don't know how you felt but I'm pretty confident I don't know how you felt and everyone else would have done in the ground the second ball at the net it was done wasn't it the game was done but that goal was you could see the ball coming over and I'd seen Dwight MacNeill do this a couple of times you had no idea what was going on around him I know he was a little bit more ahead of the play when it pulled out but when that ball came over Dwight MacNeill looked to me like he had no idea that Seelman's the most dangerous player outside the box was standing there and we just reacted really slow and we were floating it was in the back of the net and it was I didn't think it was game over we might be able to pull something out here but then again also as well against Palace we shot at the ground to see the first half maybe that's what we needed to change needed to change but we came out second half and the dumb chance is huge it's huge it's the cat see this is the mad thing isn't it I remember when Dong got injured and I remember the game against Leeds when we do 2-2 and he had a chance to make a 3-1 and it's the same chance he can't dink keep us he can't dink keep us and I remember going I remember going not overboard but I remember being like what a miss blah blah blah could have gone 3-1 up and then you lose them and then you see what you miss in the whole of the situation and so you sort of back off but then he does it in a game and you go he still can't score them and it's like they're the moments in games that's one moment we don't make chances we don't make opportunities we don't shoot so it's not that one opportunity don't look at me you should be doing that five times a game or people should be playing him that many times a game it's um but with that chance I think like you said I mean I dink any after you just finish the stuff so that is poor for me when Angelotti was here he got on to the fact he couldn't finish so he set the tactic so to just one touch finishes being in the box he literally eradicated them being in their positions by getting stuff it crosses into the box we're not playing to his strengths I think it's what's horrible is is that and this is why I don't want to go overboard with what came over his chance they both should score but they're the only two chances that's me's waste they've both missed the chances I get that they miss loads of chances but he scored two because they had 20 odd shots or whatever it is or whatever they've ended up with so they shot on target so they're going to score two to me that's the problem and that is as I go back to it this is my worry my worry is if you can't score goals and this has always been my worry this idea that clean sheets will save you this is just bollocks it's just nonsense but we're not getting enough clean sheets these United have just conceded four goals in two games and got six points you know you've got to be able to put the ball in the back of the net bollmouth we play bollmouth twice this week now bollmouth have just been twoing it up against Spares and threeing one up against Leeds and they've lost both games if they go three one up against those or twoing up we ain't winning so straight away they can score goals they can see the goals but I don't think we can score goals so but this is where I get them getting frustrated with Frank Lampard bollmouth do not have better players than us but they've found a way of scoring goals and that's the problem isn't it and that's my worry with the set pieces if we were a threat on set pieces if we had something about us less than an awful set piece you could see that earlier on didn't do anything we had a couple of opportunities that's a means to market we could score off set pieces we would be comfortably mid table we'd guarantee ourselves the goals and we're not play walls last season were exactly the same this season they can't win games because they can they've got a couple of the weekend and a couple of goals but they've lost the game ultimately but last season we've seen this a goodness in first hand on a goal these scores off a set piece early in the second half and then they just set back for the rest of the half now and we had nothing this was last season and they've got a 1-0 win they did that loads of times and it got them halfway up the league now we don't have that in our army of course we've got the better pass of six weeks with a trip to Australia and obviously plays a little bit of time off as well we've got one of the tallest teams as well in the league when you've got onana, takowski and Cody you're just looking oh my god it's like a 50 pence piece it's woeful but if you've got good delivery then you won't make to be fair in this game the goalie's got away with a couple there where no one's been near them he's blown which was just utter nonsense but it's got to be better but a couple of plays we pinpointed was obviously a wobby obviously he's our creative player and james maddison now james maddison I thought was brilliant identified before the game he is just class he is just class just have a little look at their numbers their comparisons now what's interesting about this is a wobby obviously probably looked like he had a quiet game but for most of these numbers key passes to me for maddison pass accuracy 87%, 90% for james maddison big chances created one each but I suppose this is what separates them shots one shots four, assists none assists two now if you're looking for things in games now he's had four shots to one and two more assists and if you add that per game that's where the difference is a wobby's been great this season that's not to criticise a wobby by the way it's probably to criticise what's around assists only come from if someone puts it in the back of the net that's a bit of a but I think shot is a big one there maddison likes having a crack he likes working to get himself a crack a wobby doesn't necessarily look like a play natty likes to get it out of his feet and have a go but it is interesting when you look at the stats cos I thought maddison was absolutely brilliant and let's just have a listen is also of what Frank Rampard thought of james maddison's performance I can't think of the top of my head but I thought individually he's used to the ball the way he moves it the speed of his thinking and the quality of the execution it's always great with him isn't it so I thought he was fantastic it balances a huge threat and do his prehaul but yeah maddison is on from formany he's in great nick so he was basically asking the press conference did he think james maddison's performance was the best performance against dev at this season and it's interesting cos as I said the numbers are particularly amazingly more than a wobby but just the influence he's had on his own team and like you said the players around them making them seem like everything he's done is better yeah I think you look at the key stats of the actual game they're very similar to a wobby's key stats in comparison they shoot more maddison's shooting more let's just shot more it's as simple as that isn't it I think as a team and a wobby as well in that we don't shoot we're getting into positions again you have to match how many times you shoot I don't anymore but it's just natural it's strange I find it do we actually get into positions I feel like we do at times there's moments where we can definitely let the trigger go and the irony is quite a lot of goals that we do score come from deflections then you will win corners to score goals it's all a knock on effect you have to shoot on saturday I never felt like we had any kind of sustained pressure not at all and that is everything by the way just that bubble and not that quality just build and build that pressure can I ask you a question do you think we played the right way because seeing a couple of comments over twitter whether people like it or not it's my barometer do you think we played the right way do you think the way we play was fans like football at Gwladysenbarch it's pretty straight forward I think we do it in moments and spells so for me first and foremost I feel like we need to be on the front foot so I can't comprehend why at any game when we're at home would we ever relinquish that moment when we come out what we did against Palace isn't it we were on them I felt like there was a moment against United where we we'd done that we got the goal, the crowd was up and they did force us back we allowed them we treated to the halfway line so tactically I feel like at home in particular he's getting things wrong I feel like you know look going through the times I'm sitting on the moys didn't play any amazing creative football it was about building pressure when Gwladysen feels that pressure building you can imagine there's no way player I know going back but second half games under moys where you were getting beat or whatever you felt like something was going to happen there was a pressure and I don't think we've seen it again his hands are tired by the plays he's got but you've just watched the game against Palace that doesn't necessarily need talent that what that needs is players who are prepared to go out there be on the front foot and get in the opposition's face and put some tackles in and get Palace we've seen the little scuffle and tack out his over there and then he's clearing Mateta out of the Gwladysen and it goes out for a goal kick that's what we like and if you go out and you're pussy footing around for the first 10 minutes the crowd will just sort of lose the crowd and maybe people will go that's not right but that's just the crowd again people will go the crowds of the states and the crowds of the give us what we want which is getting in people's faces and having a good going see for me tactically it comes down to tactics because player wise to just create pressure of getting some shots away and winning some corners it's not about how boss the players are we've got to have that structure in place having to be able to just press and it's just people being disciplined what did you make of the subs because I'll be honest I know like there was four subs Dom going off and you know Ghana probably had an owner but I just thought it just become such a mess yeah I thought again I must admit I was expecting a couple of half time no no no I wasn't expecting a couple of half time I was hoping for a couple of half time I think the players that ended up on the pitch were the right players they came on for the right reason if you know what I mean obviously they were coming on because they were forced off with injuries but I wanted James Ghana on the pitch I actually wanted the Corry on the pitch and I understand his limitations but I was hoping just having him a bit higher on the pitch and seeing if he could just burst into the box and try and create something a little bit different I wanted Mopai on but I didn't want them to be coming on to replace Calvert Loom I wanted them alongside and the Corry were on for half an hour and they just did nothing the Corry did you know Anthony Gomes on for 20 minutes and Nathan Paterson on for 20 minutes and Nathan Paterson I thought I thought he tried to get his going but he also did leave the back door open which is natural it's natural isn't it Paterson is still way more to come from him because we have this thing of he's the real attacking threat and Michael Enco is not I don't really see Paterson firing in crosses or driving into the box he cuts into the middle and then plays the ball backwards quite a bit it's not a criticism as in I want him in the team as a good player but I don't think he's delivering a massive thing I think he drives us forward I think he gives us an option I don't think he's I don't think he puts crosses I don't think he's got a delivery common in his heyday he's quite there at this stage and he did leave the door open Seamus had been we had to go for it a little bit but we were we changed two of our forward players and two midfielders and the two midfielders were forced and it did feel a little bit all over the place we were massively susceptible I was expecting a bad e-tapping I'll be honest second half we huffed and puffed but apart from the dumb chance we offered much apart maybe set pieces I wish I know where you're going with this I was going to say what we really need in the team someone who can switch the play from left to right or vice versa quickly rather than taking three or four passes because I do think that our wide men I think that could be Garner James Garner our wide men do get or the fullbacks do get in high positions and I decide but then we take three passes to get to them with time to get to them I know they're a rare commodity in football now but the way we play maybe Garner is that man maybe he does deserve a place but it's that thing isn't it, it's like weird now because you're like deserves a go and it's like footy shut down in a few days but we also need two big results this week we can't just be going let's just get to the world cup that group of players and that manager they need two big results this week for us we've got six weeks there where we want to have some level of positivity I want to be in the next round of the cup and if we can't be beaten Bournemouth as well to be honest I'll be dead low I don't fancy this because we can't score goals it's for no other reason it's that we can't score goals if you can't score goals you can't win games can you pack them in the field a little bit more one of these wingers out that does nothing it's mad isn't it we couldn't really think of too many people to give stats because it just make everyone look bad so let's just look at Jordan Pickford's numbers save six from inside the box a shot from inside the box three long balls 11 hours 26 that's not good enough it's got to be better cleaners two and his pass accuracy was 64% it's against crap and he was a rat in his kicking he was like a few things he was one, they took a three kick and it looked like they were going to shoot from it and he didn't and he played this looping ball to the back post he didn't know what to do so he just sort of punched it like that like a hammer punch and it went back into play and it was a weird one he was expecting the shot and then he just didn't know what to do with himself and then from that moment on for 15 minutes he looked so ruffled because we all know what he's like he does get a rat and then after that he came down a little but he's kicking some of the kicking was terrible but as she knows six saves six saves why is that keeper at all making six saves he's going to let the city and they keep it they keep a look like a fella who's made up in ISS bro he's like the goal he get when you get the master league at the start and he hasn't made one save do you know what I mean I mean he made two saves he made the one save he made the one save he's been a weakling for them and we've put them under no pressure but now I think the world cup is coming at the right time because I think the last few weeks his numbers are still really good and saves I know he's got a little bit gone a little bit a little bit erratic at times but he's still making massive saves so that last week against fuller male he was huge whether people like him or not he's just got a little bit of erraticness in himself let's have a look at the match 12 shots 2 shots on target that's just embarrassing but 2 big chances there 3 big chances you know what I mean he's still made 2 big chances and missed them both and again that's an issue possession 48% they've had 8 shots on target less the city the thing for me is they've had 22 shots that's the thing we've had 12 with 10 more shots absolutely crap there you go let's move on from this quickly and look forward to Bournemouth 2 times to Bournemouth this week so yeah there you go right we'll be continuing this over on
