 Welcome to Toffy TV and it's the match preview Leicester City vs Everton before we get into it. Toffy, te pas. Thanks to Itorro for sponsoring Toffy TV. Itorro sponsored a number of Premier League clubs, as you probably know by now. Itorro recently did a survey with Premier League fans and found that 92% of Evertonians are enjoying football at the lockdown without crowd being back there. During lockdown, 73% of Evertonians missed significant moments, they said, through things like tendon to pets and answering the door. So they're not going to enjoy it at all. Let's be honest.

We've just come off the back of one big game and now we're straight into another. Every week is going to be a big game for the next, well, for the whole of this month, isn't it? But Leicester City, most wins in the Premier League, eight wins, I think it is. But they've also lost three times a hole, currently sitting third in the Premier League. So they're a good side, but obviously they can be beaten at home. No fans after they still at the KC, so, you know, they've lost to Ville Fulham and West Ham at home, so I'm not exactly clubs you'd expect them to lose to. But they are, like you said, they're a good side. They've got goals in them. They won't be bright in three-nil at the weekend, a couple from James Madison and Vardy. So it'll be a very, very tough game for Everton. I don't think it'll be quite be like the weekend against Chelsea, because I think we'll have a bit more of the ball on that. But we are going to have to defend, probably, exactly the same, because they're dangerous. No, don't leave spaces for Vardy to run in behind and, you know, compete everywhere because otherwise we'll get rolled over. But conversely, to that of Everton, can get stuck in and stay organised. We can win again. It's got a nice balance list that I haven't, do you think? That's one of the things they've really got going for me. Obviously, we've seen last season, they started off the season really, really well. Just fell away basically when we got to the no fans in the stadiums. They started the season really well, and it is that balance. They've got a good goalkeeper that they defend well. Midfield, they've got a couple of really talented players, and obviously with Jamie Vardy o front, he's always a threat. With that kind of pace, if you get a one-on-one with you, he really does the damage at the end of the day. He's just that threat that occupies other people. He's like having two centre forwards. He's almost like making it out like they've got an extra player in the team. As I said, with the likes of Madison and Midfield pulling the strings as well, they've got a good side. He's a massive threat, isn't he? He is. That is a nuisance. We work so hard on his own plays, that one off-front role brilliantly for them. They have people like Harvey Barnes who work hard. Up there, Perez, when he's involved, can be a handful. Madison, like you've mentioned, they've got Ceilings who's a good player. They're a team full of good players, and they've got it. He's building a decent squad there, and I've got to just show. It is. It's a tough game. It's a tough game, you know, and they've done over what the last since they've won the league. They've done very well, really, haven't they? You know, for a club the size of them with the money. They always invest well, and they're a team who does lose like a big player a year, but they just reinvest it, you know. They lost Harry McGuire for £88 million, you know, and Ben Shillwell's gone within the last two windows, and they brought in, like Wesley Foffarner, and Kistan Yee from Italy, and they're just building James Justin, you know, just keeping that level of play a tick and over nicely, so. It's a big ask. It's a big tough, tough game, but, you know, West Ham beat them three in the lift, full-on. It won one game before they went and beat them there the other week. Beat them, so it's, you've got to beat Leslie, you've got to stay in the game, stay organised, and then they will give you opportunities. You've got to take them when you come along, and, you know, it's going to be a tough game, but, you know, last year we were a member of school, and then last year we were dreadful, yet we were winning after an hour, you know, and we capitulated in the last kind of 25 minutes, but, you know, ended up losing it in the 95th minute, didn't we? And that was a day that, you know, they were flying, don't forget that day as well. So, we know they're a good side, not going to be any surprises, you know, how they're going to play. It's whether we can defend and compete like we did against Chelsea. Yeah, it'd be interesting whether we go into the game like we played against Chelsea, obviously, with the back four the way it was, and I'm sure we will. I'm sure we'll look to hit them on the counter-attack. It's all about leaving as little space in behind as possible. You know, and if we, I think if we can, if we force them out wide as well, I think that will play into our hands as well, then, you know, they want a counter-attack, they want a, or they certainly want to get through the defence up as much as they can to leave all that space behind them, and that's when they can hit you. You can hit it your other ways as well, of course, they've got a, you know, but I would fancy those defending crosses against them, and then it comes down to what have we got, what, how, you know, how, how are we going to approach it? I mean, obviously, with the likes of Richarlis and the likes we've done with Calvin Learon, where the Hamas Rodriguez is back, we don't know, but I won't be carrying a threat. You know, I don't think we're going to carry too much of a threat from, you know, like the fallback areas, and I don't expect the Coray and Allen to be, to be bombing on or anything like that, but it'll be interesting to see whether, if Hamas Rodriguez is available, whether he's been going to say back or whether he just says, you know, let's leave you for a couple of games, a couple of games where we really just need to dig in. Let's leave you, because that was one of the faults we found, you know, when we went, when you go back to the Southampton game, the fact that he played, and he wasn't going to fit, and it wasn't necessarily a game that we needed him in, we maybe needed to be a little bit more solid, whereas the week after when we played Newcastle, we did need that cut net, and it might be that. For this game, it might be a case of trying to do what we did on Saturday again, and then maybe against Arsenal, who were not in great form, we do look for that little bit of a cut net, and that's where maybe Hamas Rodriguez could be reintroduced into the side. Yeah, but I wouldn't play him on Wednesday. Maybe if he's fit and trained, and maybe on the bench, just in case you need something for 15 minutes, but I'd rather give him the week. You know, we don't want to be having to carry him with an injury. No, not with all these games. No, not just show his on the pitch. You'd better give him a player a few days' rest. The team's just won. It's not like you have to try and create something to get a response. We've won the game, so there's nothing wrong with saying, like you 11, you 11 go again. You've won the game at the weekend. You were solid, you were fine. Let's do exactly the same thing at Leicester. And if we keep a clean sheet, we come away with a point. If we nick a goal, great. If we don't, we've got a point and we get out of there and we move on. We carry on then to a home game at the weekend. It's what you'd have to do with this stage of the sheet. You've got to, yeah, you're right. You've got to put the month into one big thing. I mean, you can't be going, well, get through this game, get through that game. You've got, you've really got to fit. You know, if Hamas Rodriguez is 80% fit, you just leave them. You're going to have to leave them. It's not because there's a lot of games coming up. You know, we've got Manchester United next week in the League Cups quarter-final. That's a massive game. Which you think if Hamas Rodriguez can be fifth for that and maybe Seamus Cole can be fifth for that, then you leave them for the next couple of games and say, right, be fifth for that. There's other areas of the pit, don't forget. We're going to be stretched in the next couple of games. Okay, with Charleston, I missed three games, so he's probably feeling a little bit less. So, Wobie's being in and out, so he's probably feeling a little bit less. Wholegate to be fine. Yeah, Wholegate, but the Corry and Allen, they've been... Every game. Every game. And Dominic Arblun has been in every game, so you're looking at it thinking, are we going to have to swap them round? It's that kind of, they're the kind of decisions. You've got to just... This is a month where it doesn't really matter about how you play. It's about how you get results. You just have to throw everything else out the window. How many times in a season you're going, oh, we've just got a point there, and we've just... But at the time, you're just chasing them. If we win today, we go there. And the reality of it is, none of it really matters to the bar people, so you see where you're at. It does, because you're in it, and you feel it, and you want to be feeling good, and you want to be looking at that later. We're going, oh, we're third or whatever. But the reality is just put the points on the bud. If you just said to me, we'll get a draw, or a saltampton a draw at Newcastle. At the time, I'd have been like, oh, we're winning every game. I want to win, I expect to win. No, you made up with them extra two points. Because time goes on. So, we go to... We're going to have to be really careful. Got to prioritise stuff. With two games away from Wembley, if you like for the league. So maybe they're quarterfinal against United, which is obviously a one-off game. Extra time penalties, job or... No, actually no extra time, is it? State of penalties. So that's a big game. A one-off game. Maybe we'll look at hammers for that. But certainly for Wednesday, I'd just be saying to now, you know, get you right for Saturday, because we might need you to carve something out against that. Home game, 2,000 fans there, we might need that. Yeah, we're going to go and dig in a bit here. Try to just do the dirty work or whatever. Give him that break and call me. Maybe call me on the bench and maybe hammers out the 18, and then back in hopefully at the weekend and then for United. Because we've got Sheffie and I to come and go. Excuse me. Unboxing day. And I think he'd be key in that, because that'll be a game where you've got to open them up, and it's a game that you're looking at and thinking, to struggling, we need to beat this. So we will have to make them decisions. The thought of leaving Domout is not a great one at the minute, but we'll just see how we go with them. And you know, what would be lovely, and it won't happen because these are big games, we'll be to get three in a lwp in a game and be able to take them off, but we're running into the wrong set of games to think about that show. Not that we did that. No, you're right though. You have to look at it like, of course you have to take each game as it comes, but I think December is one of those periods where you have to look at the collective of the games and almost take a step back. I mean, if anyone were to get, let's say, nine to ten points from December, I think that would be a really good return. From now or including Chelsea? No, including Chelsea. I think that would be a really good return when you look at the games on paper. If everyone could get that, then you know, you're four out of the average. So can we get a point at less than beat Arsenal? Can we beat Geoff United? Yeah. They're the questions aren't they? Like you just said there, two extra points, if we picked two extra points up, two draws where we should have got Leeds or Newcastle or whatever, you're looking going, well, two extra points put you in the top four or just in and around. That's how close it is, and that's why I think it's like, I don't think, I don't think, this is always, this is always a defining area time for the air season where you're looking at. You're looking at, you're looking at thinking, and you go into this spell now, what you come out of it, where you come out of it, is going to be the area you're going to be playing in for the rest of the season. But I don't know, that's the case this season because everyone's so bunched together. You know everyone, I know we've played less games than we've played, we will have played last season this stage, but everyone is so bunched together that you just want to just, you just need to keep adding points, keep adding points and just keep chipping away. And it doesn't, you know, like we've said loads of times, if we'd won our games over the space of time, I haven't had that period where we'd only won a couple in like seven or eight. Then you think, everything's ticking over. And for some clubs, it's felt like that. I mean like Southampton, who were like the three-pointer head of us, aren't they? You look at them and you feel like they're always winning. But because they had a slow start, whereas we had a fast start, it's just the same with Westam, they had a slow start at the same point as us, but they had a slow start and then they've picked it up recently. Perception. So it is, yeah, it is. Whereas this month now, I think this is the month where it's like, like you've had that. This is now, this is time to knuckle down. And get yourself sorted. And actually, we've, with the Chelsea game, we look at the way we played in that game, it almost feels like the manager's gone, no, for these next few games, this is, we've tried all these other things, but for these next few games, it's just about digging in. It's just about getting points on the board. It's not about being fancy, it's not about playing in a certain way, it's just about digging in, getting, and I expect, I expect, you know, performances in that, in that mould. If we can, like you said, we can dig in and battle over these next few games and come out of it with points then. We'll be going into January into the new year in a good position. And you start looking and then like, now the tough run of games, this is where we like in the table. Can we get one or two in in January as well to give us a boost or to improve the squad? Things look different then. You can start to have a look at your goals and go, well, your it was a goal. Where are we? Oh, we're right in the mix. Great. Now when we get to March, can we still be right in the mix for your it? And that's how you have to do it. You can, we do get caught up sometimes in what's going on and it can be amazing or terrible, but it is over the course of the season. And obviously you want to see your team knocking it round well and you want to see your team giving some clubs a hammer in and you want to see your team looking like it knows what it's doing all the time. But this is a strange season this season and it's a case of just keep adding points to the tally and see where we go with it. No-one gives us a chance at the weekend really and we beat Chelsea. Probably most people won't give us a chance here because less they're flying, but like you just said, they're right at the very start. There's four points between the two teams. They've won the most games in the Premier League and there are only four points ahead of us. We beat them on Wednesday but it's back to our point. So for me, first and foremost, can we defend well again? Can we go and do what we did to Chelsea? Can we cut Leicester down to not having many chances? Well, the teams have done it full on to being the most recent. They beat them last week and O'Brighton went there in the spanked but full on when and beat them when they were winning anyway. So they're not unbeatable. They are a very good side though. So we'll have to see. Leicester have won three of the last five own games against Everton. We've won the other two. That's as many as they had in their previous 16 against Everton. Everton have kept one clean sheet in their last 15 Premier League games against Leicester last doing so on Boxing Day, wasn't it? December 2016. Rom. O'n mynd i'w caeth i'w sgwrdd. After 13 of the first 18 Premier League games between Leicester and Everton and then in draws, none of the last 10 meetings have ended in a draw. Both won five each. Leicester's last Premier League game played on a Wednesday was also when Everton ended in a 2-1 victory for the Blues. I'm not reading that one. It's depression. Or that one's depression as well. Guilfee Sigurdsham was directly involved in eight of Everton's nine shots against Chelsea last time out two shots and six chances created and also scored the winner since the start of the 2017 season 18 seasons. Sigurdsham is the only Toffees player to have created as many as six chances in a game last doing so. Done it against Barney and Southampton. Call of Antioatties won all three of his meetings with Brendan Rodgers. In the afternoon scored in each of his last Premier League two Premier League pages against Everton both as a substitute. The only player to score as a sub in three consecutive games was Julian Josham and Olivier Giroud. And Dominic Calderlumin has scored 19 goals in 32 games since Carlo Antioatties took over. Incredible. Compared to 16 goals in 94 games for all of the other Everton managers. Incredible. So there you go. So cheer up. Festive cheer. Oh. Festive and festively cheered. You have to currently tell. Yeah. Does he call? What would it be? Will it be a victor? I mean, we could get a three points out of this. We could sneak three points out of this then. Incredible. Incredible. It's all the bagels you saw. No, no. Again, I'll say it again. Clean sheet. Get me a clean sheet. I'll see where we go. I'll see what happens, yeah. Get a clean sheet, don't lose. That should be the mantra. Spoken like Michael Owen. That should be the mantra. I don't know if Michael Owen would understand that. Well, you know. It's too busy in this game. You've got to score a goal. Do you, though? That's what he said. Do you, though? Will you have to have a goal creditor for you? What he said was knowledge years of watching football. That team who's never scored a goal is never one again. It's not true. Burnley beat Arsenal. They never scored a goal. He's got his creditor to Burnley. Well, fair enough, but they didn't score it. Just saying. There you go! Great on Dubai, Helicopter. He is, he is. He is. And there's nothing out of that. There's nothing out of that. There you go. Listen, you thought in the comments on this one that you fancy is against Leicester. They were just, why are they, why, what is the secret to them? What is the secret to them? Good sign, Jamie Vardy. That's the secret. You know, hopefully it won't be Jamie Vardy. But even Rebecca Vardy, on my illegally, you've not allowed to mention it. Probably not. There you go. Let us know your thoughts. Let us know your thoughts. What do you just said? Happy place, happy place, Casey. Where's this Casey come from? You've said that twice. King power. What are you talking about? It's not whole the King power. You've said that twice. You've just mentioned someone you shouldn't mention. I'm allowed to mention a name. It's not like, it's not like I'm legally not allowed to. Here's the it. King power, Casey. King power. I was just thinking of Kevin Campbell and feeling sorry for Tavisa. It's just that I'm a mile away, fair enough. And so. There you go.
