 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is my three talking points from Everton Three, Brighton and Hauvalbyn one. Let's kick off point number one, Richard Halleson. What a sign. Paul Mason's head must be exploding. He must be one of them. Every time Richard Halleson scores, he must just go. Must do. It must do. Just shows you the art and all of that and anything else that he does. It affects the brain because he's been absolutely incredible for us. The nonsense that Mason came up with just makes it all the sweeter. He's playing up front at the minute. Hasn't been great up front, let's be honest. But it's the work that he puts in. Today I would say probably his most complete performance up front for us as a striker. He's been great down the left hand side since we signed him. He was good at Leicester, I think, in the game at home against Pallas. He was a little bit hit and miss. It's because of the runs he makes. He hadn't been making those runs in and behind the centre backs in the previous two games. We're all trafficked last week. It was difficult. We weren't on the front foot as much as we should have been. We didn't use them as well as we should have done. But today he was at it right from the first whistle. Just an incredible performance. At one stage early on he went down, he was limping heavily and you're thinking, I hope he's not going to have to go off. He got on with it and he worked so hard. I'm absolutely delighted for him that he scored those two goals. They're two really good goals. The first one as a team goal, absolutely fantastic counter attack and goal. The second goal was just brilliant composure by him. Gives it a duffy one. He runs the other one. They're keeping knocks it in. Just brilliant. He's on six goals now this season in eight games. Fantastic return. If he keeps doing that, he's going to keep the likes of Jen Towson. Dominic Alder-Lewin up the side. Alder-Lewin came on and Retialason put his hand up and meant me on the right. He just went out of the right and carried on putting the work. Fantastic, fantastic. He's definitely turning into a crowd favourite. It was great to go to some ring and out with his name. Fantastic. Point number two, Marco Silva. He's just a boss. He's absolutely a boss. I don't want to go too early with it, but I started reading about him in May. Early May. Obviously I had a sketchy thing of his history because I'd had a look at it when we were linked with him. He came into Hull but I really started doing research on him the first week in May. Obviously we knew that he was in the room for the job. I started doing a lot of reading on his time in Portugal in Greece. I was excited by what he could bring and then he'd come in. Obviously you're always a little bit concerned that he's tarnished by what went on. Hull thing, when people say, yeah, but Hull got relegated. That's amazing because what he did for Hull was incredible. It was absolutely incredible. He'd come in, he had 11 players or something. 12 players, no money, nothing, and he turned it around. He almost got them out of trouble. He'd gone, he didn't have a chance. So that for me was fine. He went to Waffordd. Excellent at Waffordd until we showed him a bit of leg and he wanted to come here. When you read about him, when you understand him, Everton are the kind of club that he's always wanted in his vision to build, can be backed. Probably like any manager. You want to get on that rung of the ladder. He wanted to do it in England. Yes, you could go in Manchester United and you could be out the door in three months because it doesn't go perfectly for you, but you want to build something at a club. He's at a club now, that's got great history, great fans and money and good players. And he's in a perfect place and everything he's doing just gets you excited because, listen, I haven't watched Everton for the last few years. Even under Cumin, we had a great run of home under Ronald Cumin. We did, but was it great? You know, we were rubbish away. Second, that sum of him and Welsh was just negligible. It was just totally and utterly pathetic what they did on their recruiting side and you look back at it because it was scattergun. Not saying the players were bad particularly if they were, but there was no plan. And then it all went wrong and the football was dreadful. You know, the end of my heart and I said it was dreadful, but this fella has given me a new belief that we're going in the right direction. There's a plan, there's a pattern. We're well back, we've got myself hands in there and it all feels like everything's coming back together. The fans again today, you know, no frustration. Just back, just back the team and back the team and we won the game and it was fantastic and it's him. You know, when I've read an art, I've read an interview with him. I think it was in the Daily Mail. Apologies, but it was about silver so you've got to read it. And it was excellent, you know, you listen to his interviews. They're excellent and it's building and it's single-minded and we do this and we foster the teams better. Listen to Ryan Mason talking about them. He's the best he's ever seen. He's got an aura, but he's amazing what he does with the players. Even the players who I'm playing, you know, even the players who I'm playing, he backs them as well. You know, they like him as well. And he's got Everton playing incredible football and doing well so long may it continue. And my third final and main point is our midfield. In particular today I wanted to talk about Ghana, who was incredible. Ghana today was the Ghana that we saw for the first five months of his Everton career. Everywhere doing a job on his own in midfield. That all got complicated when Snidel and coming, because Ghana's not, for me, isn't good enough to play as an eight. His passing isn't great. And he never hardly scores, does he? I love he did nearly today. But doing all the intercepting and the cleaning up and putting out fires and the carrying and fetching, he's fantastic at it. When he's just left to get on with it, you don't even have to worry about him. He goes and does it. He goes in there, he's right foot, left foot, he'll pick it. A long pass he'll play it short. Can go with both feet strong. You know, wins headers, get up and down the pit. Just such an elegant midfield player. The one of the like that I don't think we've seen Everton for a number of years. You know, our tether, probably the closest thing to him, but obviously, statuwised, Michael was a lot smaller, but still a great player. And this fella is, you know, and the fact he's dreamy looking, is one of them. No, he's brilliant. And then ahead of then, you've got Guilfee Sigarton now, who's really going up through the gates. And because he's got those two behind him, he's gone to another level. For me, he's gone to another level. He can see things today. The assist for Retialis, he was just different class, you know. When Pixar part, he works so hard as well, Guilfee. He's got a goal in him. He's missed a couple of good opportunities today, that he should have scored no question about it. But in general, he was excellent. And that midfield three, I'm not going to call it the Holy Trinity and all that, because they'd have to win stuff to be considered anywhere, even in the same breath, sentence, whatever. But it's a great midfield three for us. And Garner is literally, you know, he's the fulcrum of it. He's the fella in there that gets it going, because he wins the ball and enables the others to have it. And then you see the link play between Sigarton and Gomez. So, so many clever play. And then to the left of them, you've got Bernard. He's such a lovely footballer. And then the pace and the direction of Walcott. And you've got Retialis. Then you've got your full-backs. You know, it's good. It's good. It's exciting. It's a good, exciting time to be in Evertonia. And if we can get our levels higher and start winning a few of the games that people don't give us a chance in, better and better, isn't it? But it's great to watch. And when I think back to 12 months ago, you'd get a full-shever dangos mine when you look at it now. It's really good. So there are my three talking points.
