 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the match preview Arsenal vs Everton. Trip to the Emirates where we have only won once in its entire existence. Which was of course in the Covid season. We won one of the last 26 games away at Arsenal. Fair play. Consistent. But we did beat them. I feel that way. Two weeks ago, three weeks ago. Everton have never won a Premier League game against a team starting top of the league in the Premier League era. Is that a fact? That's a fact, eh? Losing 19 such matches, the Toffy's last league victory away to top flight leaders was in September 1986 when we won two on a Wimbledon. So there you go. Historically, we've been in September. That is incredible. So that's away from home now, of course. Yeah, yeah, away from home. Very difficult game, but you know what? We sat here a few weeks ago when we were looking at the Arsenal game thinking we've got absolutely zero chance of winning that game of football and we won it. So what were you feeling about this one? We've got absolutely zero chance of winning the match. I'll be honest with you and people will probably give me a stick for this, but I can't see anything other than a national victory on Wednesday. Saturday was obviously massively disappointing, but even if we'd have beat Philly, I'd have been looking at this thinking maybe the best we can get is a draw. I think they're playing, they're doing well. Obviously they had a little wobble. We beat them and the city beat them. They lost the city in the FA Cup as well, haven't they? True of Brentford. Yeah. I just haven't got goals in us. Do you know what I mean? The biggest for me this week, we've obviously got forest away on Sunday and that is the bigger of the two quite simply because they're by us. It would be, I hate myself for saying this, but it would be like damage limitation for me at this stage with Arsenal because goal difference will be a big thing. No, I understand what you're saying. I can't really sit here and project an ever and win. I just can't because you can't normally. Whenever they've had really good sides, we've gone down there and we've been poor. So you can't really envisage your win and that's the difficult thing with everyone at the moment, isn't it? We've won one away game all season, Southampton. We're going to Arsenal, but we went to the city with the Etihad and no one gave us a chance and we had a game plan and we hung in there and we got the goal. Even when we got the goal, there's plenty of time left for them to get another goal and they didn't. So you can't write it off, but do you think though, with the being three games in the week and a huge game on Sunday against forest, do you think there should be changes? Let's just have a look at the team I played Saturday. Obviously, this team has been the same for the last couple of games. Pretty much the team is used in all four games by a couple of changes. Can you see changes in there? Who would you look to change? It's difficult to see whether to look at it and go, he will make these changes, but he should do. I think there's a case for Gary Mina coming in. There's a case for Ben Goffrey coming in, to be honest with you. I understand people's points of view will go, this is a game though, and it's a game with points. I get that, I totally get that, but are we really asking Seamus Coleman to play three games in eight days? Tough games as well, not ones where we have all the ball and he hasn't got it. He's going to be up against Nellie Bosner y Gwdusyn, I imagine he'll be the same. He's really quick and he's done a great job on him at Gwdusyn. You could understand maybe that's going to move us through again. But, on a cold, he's not had a good time, two of the last three games. Does he therefore try and get Ben Goffrey back in and go, let's have some insurance with Ben Goffrey. Does he go full-call-out and go, actually let's give Seamus and Michael and Cowell Blau when we'll have whole-gate at right back and go for eight left back. You know what does Mina come in. So, there's options then. Again, that's indicative, I think, of Evan and Squad. Is that the options are all in defence? There's no midfield options like you said before we were talking about something else. Tom Davies is the only midfield option at the moment who's fit. And we don't have options up front. I'd personally, I'd play Sims. Cos what I would do right now is I'd go all in on Sims right now for the next few games. Still Dom's back, I would. I'd now buy it just be a sub for me. When Dom's back? If Dom comes back, you know what I mean. I haven't bounced it. Now, because Ellis Sims is more of the type we want at all, stronger striker. And he's proving he can get goals at times, you know, certainly in other leagues. So, we've got to give him that experience. Yeah, I'd definitely make, I'd definitely take Conacold out. Who'd you bring in, no Mina or Goffrey? Well, that's a good one. I don't know, you know, I just... Yeah, Goffrey may be cut for the recovering pace, I think in a team like this. I would buy shit on the idea box for the entire game. And you're asking for trouble, aren't you? And then maybe I'd be making all games in it right back. Give shame, I should have bought. Give shame, I should have bought. Ready for Sunday. Yeah, and I mean that just for a blow. I don't think it's fair to be playing them three times in a week. Especially when he does run his art out, he really does. He's not somebody who goes hard and you can question quality of performance sometimes, but he's not somebody who goes hard. And we don't want him getting injured because of partisans. Alice Sims, I would bring in up front. Again, just experience. Maw pi is like, again, he's another hologram. He's not really there. You could project Tupac up front for us. And I honestly think he'd have as much effect. I mean, I honestly think the beams of light could get a little knock on some of those crosses. I've been coming in. Can we project Dixie Dean? No, because some of them claim loads of goals or something. Or it'd go against his appearance, so they've got the stats with it. But I generally believe that those beams of light would maybe get on the end of things more than Maw pi is. He's just not anything easy. Not anything easy at all. And listen, there has been quality competition. My favourite player, Dwight MacNeill, he's put some decent balls into the box and all it takes is someone making a gamble or even just making themselves big. So when a cross comes in, they can jump and out, jump the fellow who's standing next to him, which Maw pi can never do. I genuinely think I could maybe have a little gob against some of these, you know, put a little bit more of it. Is there not a case for the Mary Grey up front just because of the pace of the ball over the top? I'll be honest. My feelings for the Mary Grey are almost that thing of like, when I watch him, I just think you don't actually care. Your body language says to me that you're just going through the motions. Of course that doesn't mean anything because that's just me, but I watched him come on the other night. It's an equal play because again, you might change things up. Hame for me, I'd play him. Maybe if he did play for a Welby. Honestly, the love's there for Dwight at the moment, but I just think Dwight McNeill on that left hand side, just putting the ball in the box, is actually something that just works for. It just seems to be able to work for us. I'd actually think about taking a Welby out and putting him on the bench and maybe putting the Mary Grey on. But again, the problem is then, the problem with that is, and this is probably why it won't happen is, the reason we, one of the successes we got at Godderson is we doubled up on those wide plays and the Mary Grey ain't doing that, he ain't doing that for you. He's just not. And in a game where you're talking about, you know, trying to keep maybe the score down, they're going to have to work this way, Brad, and work that way. And that's what you need in Ellis Sims. That's what you need in Albor. That's what you need to go with time. You're just going to go long. Otherwise, it's going to be an onslaught. You're right, and I absolutely agree, but you don't want to be a situation for Ellis Sims where he's just there the only chance that he's getting. No, no, but the other side. Play them around the field and then in the two games at home where he could have very might have done a bit more, he was sat on that. The problem is the other way of doing it is you go five at the back and you play Grey off Ellis Sims, but then you're changing your whole thing on that long foot. And then you're... It's a really hard one, but ultimately, Daish, unfortunately, does not have many tools in his box and this is the problem, and this is why you look at the system and go, well, if it's not mobile, it's Ellis Sims and you're just thinking, well, that's a problem. If it's not a woby, it's Daimari Grey. If it's not Dwight MacNeill, it's Daimari Guy. If it's not Michelinco, who is it? If it's not James... Ben Agri, give him a go. He clearly must be. I think what's going to happen at the end of the year is Michael McIntyre's going to come back and he's going to reveal that Daish was an elaborate hoax built off the back of the one from the KF game. So, Ben Agri is still actually playing in Portugal. This kid is really Ben Agri. Yeah, he's not really Ben Agri. He's a competition winner. He's a competition winner. Remember that book about playing in all different sports? Walter Smith brought him on in a pre-season game. It's going to be something like that. Ben Agri is going to write a book at the end of the season or he's a plant season. Ben Agri's not going to, because he's actually playing everything in Portugal. I reckon Ben Agri is actually a guy from Watchdog. He's been poor at everything. No way do you do those whistleblower things where they come in and they have those secret cameras. Ben Agri goes to train him. Ben Agri goes to train him. And he's talking to play to go, oh yeah, yeah, how do you do it? And they're like, we don't tell anyone this, but we don't actually train every day of the week. We actually have Mondays off. That's what happened. That's what used to happen. It's all changed now. But he hasn't got the options. He just hasn't got the options. I thought he's going to bring him on. He might have just been cold. I was thinking I wonder if he's going to bring him on at 1-0, just to try and have another attack and option rather than Michael and Cole. But then he didn't, did he? I don't know. This is a really, really difficult game. There's very little you can sort of... Listen, for more... Shaun Dye shall have a plan. Plan could go out the window after five minutes. That's the problem. If you have to score first, if you want to talk about percentages, the percentages of getting anything out of the game are cut from to about 2% of Andy. No, percent. But they are Andy because we have to score. And if we're going to score, there has to be some kind of worthy and then you have to hang on. And it'll be very, very difficult. Very, very closely with the top of the league. They've only lost three games. Two of those were two of the top three. You know, it becomes... I'm one of the bottom three. It's a ridiculously hard game. I don't have one-four of the last five games. It's just as many as the one in three million games. But not away. The league games. It is what it is. It's a tough game. You've got to play tough games. You'll create a plan. You'll ask the players to execute the plan. If they can, it'll be remarkable. I'm not 100% confident they can. I'm not even 2% confident they can. Because we simply do not have the players. We do not have the players. I don't think they can stick to a plan. But if you've got no threat at the other end, that's where the plan falls down. The defenders might be brilliant pick-up, might be brilliant to mid-fail work, the socks off. And so they've got way more quality than us. So they can open a shut and score a goal. You can do a good job and lose the game. If you had a threat at the other end, then that's where you might nick these games. But we haven't got that threat. But that's the other side of it, isn't it? If you haven't got that threat at the other end and the opposition, no, you haven't got that threat. Then what do they do? They just go at you, and at you, and at you. And it becomes relentless. And especially if it doesn't stick up front, which it doesn't. And we know the atmosphere has improved at the Emirates. And we know this is their game in hand. And if they win it, they go back five points clear in Man City. I said this to you before. Ninety-nine of the 203 league games against Everton. They could become the first team in English history to register 100 victories against a specific opponent. I wonder what that started. I wonder what that start was when the Premier League started. I wouldn't have been anywhere near that. Because they just literally had a home win for them most seasons, isn't it? You know. They actually left a run of 10 consecutive home wins in the Premier League. They actually won just one of the last four at the Emirates. Lost one and drived two. I think they drew the last one to Brentford. There's obviously a lot of controversy over the VAR that day. They've obviously lost the city as well. So maybe their fans will be a little bit navy about this game. Maybe their fans will be thinking, this is our game and we have to win this. We can't have that door open. And maybe if Everton can frustrate them early on and that frustration gets into the ground, then who knows if we've got a viable threat if they have been working on something for Elder Sims. Don't forget, this is only our second away game with John Dyson, his first away game. He played Elder Sims up front. So who's to say he's been looking at that and thinking, and now I know what I need to do with Elder Sims, or we've been working on something to get Elder Sims more into the game. Who knows you'll be training every day. They can't just be training with Mopai. They've only got two cents of hours as its fans. So maybe they have been working on a plan. And again, it's about sometimes you can get lucky. Sometimes you do put a plan in place and everything falls for you on the day. Sometimes you get that touch. People say, well, you've got that luck maybe, it could lose some part. No, it wasn't a lucky win, of course. It wasn't a lucky win we deserved to win it. Maybe this is the one where we get the luck then. And Arsenal, like, oh my God, we've batted everyone, and if some reason we can't beat Evan. Let's hope that's the case. Baiters had a truck point at Arsenal for Burnley as well. Draws and stuff. Last ever player to score home and away against Arsenal in the same season. It happened in 0-3, 0-4. Who do you think it was? 0-3, 0-4. Oh, no, sorry. The striker? No, the little striker. The one where Tiaffers, when you come play the loan against your own, the loan player against your team, and Tiaffers pulled it back and smashed it in at the park. And then it was the away. It's a long time since then, Evan plays good in both games, against him and Tarkovsky. He probably represents as good a chance as anyone has scored in a goal for us, doesn't he? Off a set piece, so. I wonder if he'll just either retain it or back post corner, which against Felle wasn't there for some reason. No. Maybe, and maybe that'll be the opportunity. And maybe when we're three and up at our time from the three corners going deep. Tarkovsky had to it. Then Evan will be like, why you no believer? I don't know why he'd do that. It was Farad having a goal, so I told you that was the sense of forward we were getting. Did you go? Listen, listen. It is the week of the seventh anniversary of Farad Mishiri coming to Evan from Arsenal. It's almost synergy. It's synergy, he's going back and this time he's bringing Tarky with him. Tarky with him. Arsenal will be worried. You never know. I'll be back. Tremendous. Listen. What can we say? What can we say? It ain't on telly. That's the good news. It ain't on telly. You'll all have to find yourselves a perfectly... Will the both be there? Of course they will. That one won't be. Come on, please. Just do something that no one including Evan ever thought means to think you're going to do. Upshet the apple cart. Get it on the way you went. Huge three points. Why not? Win two away games in a week in five days and let everyone just be like, what is going on? What is going on? What is going on? I've been asking that question. There you go. Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Let's just punish ourselves by looking at Arsenal's team from the last game. There you go. They played Trossard off-front. At Leicester. Got the win. No, it was Matt Nelly. Oh, Matt Nelly. They went with Trossard instead. That's an interesting one. Obviously they've got No Palmer's party and Georgina was playing with everybody. He helped get the goal last week, didn't he? Well, that wasn't it. He played off the bar against Martin as I said. Yeah, it couldn't go last time. He's done well. Two away games, three wins. Let's just have a look at Sacher's numbers as well. 24 games, nine goals. Eight assists. 2.5 shots a goal. It's just signed a new contact for Arsenal as well. Everything's flying for the kid. Hopefully he's flying into the stand on Wednesday night when Tarkowski lashes him in there. That's the celebration when Tarkowski's got. He's going to pick him up and just go Who's got Tarky's got? Tarky's got. That's the Tarky's celebration. I'd rather Sacher's not have a very good game in Everton than he can do what he wants. There you go.
