 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is Everton vs Burnley, Gwdaithson Park on Monday night preview show joined by Cam from the Mighty Blues and also from us because basically you live so you know, which is great. Burnley on Monday Cam at home, it feels like AA, it feels like ages since we were at Gwdaithson but that's Southampton game. And at B it feels like ages since Everton have played and Brighton game seems time ago now doesn't it, but Burnley at home on Monday night with the lights. Tough test like you said, it is literally weak since we've last played but since we've last played at Gwdaithson feels like a long long time ago and obviously Burnley difficult game, difficult fixture obviously tough team to play against. We know this notoriously beat us around last season albeit no crowd in the stadium but again a game that we were all going into thinking we need to get the three points here and they turned up and they were much better than us on the day and obviously we know from the previous season Carlos first game in charge it was a very difficult game so it was until 84-85 minutes something like that to score the opening goals. So again without being disrespectful to Burnley the auditorious shift back and keep you out and frustrate your whole game and it's up to Everton to be able to unlock that Burnley side and you might be looking at somebody like Hamish Rodriguez who we know is back in training and if he's going to play in some capacity it'd be a game like this where he'd be really useful because his quality might be the difference between unlocking that Burnley defence and then if you go 1-0 up they're forced to come out then and then that's where you might see boxing day a couple of years ago when we beat them 5-1 or something like that but notoriously they'll come out and obviously they'll defend and they defend really well and they have done for years and that's why they've stayed in the Premier League having spent very little money for however many years on the bounce. So tough game, tough side to play but obviously under the light of gooders and again base time under the light for what nearly two years something like that so you would expect Everton to have enough quality to go and break them down and win the game. Fingers crossed that is the case, it will be tough, you're absolutely right Burnley are a low block side and I think it'll be a big test for Everton because obviously we've had success so far this season playing against three teams who were quite open, who've come and attacked us so we were able to pick them off. I think we should have probably won at Leeds in the end but we got a good point there and we won at Brighton and obviously we beat Southampton and Huddersfield in the cup. All of those teams come on to us and we just picked them off on a counterattack where there's, and in this game will be very different because Burnley will sit in, you're absolutely right. Last season like you pointed out he beat us two on a gooders and it was a frustrating afternoon actually because they were really good value when they went two and they looked but Everton scored, Dom scored, Eddard and Gorrish back in it and after that we missed a lot of chances when we could have ended up winning the game but we didn't. And it's always tight against Burnley, you know even the games we've beat them you're rightly pointed out, anti-lotties, you know, the dive and Eddard by Dom to win that one. The only, the most comfortable one I can remember at Gooderson was the last game of the season a few years ago, the Friday night last time and we beat them 2-0 and it was the most comfortable game we've had against them which we controlled and started to finish. Every other game I can remember even going back to like 2016 when Romelu Llew Llew Cachu was playing for us and we beat them 3-1 and it was a tough game that day so we know that we're in for a scrap but you'd hope that like you say Everton have got enough quality to beat a team and let's not forget I've only got one point so far this season albeit that was in the last game. Yeah definitely, I mean you're spot on like you said that they're a tough team to break down and this is a different challenge for Everton because as you said typically you know over the last couple of games Everton have been playing against us that have come at us and we, you know, we hit them on the counter attack and it works for us with the pace of Damari Gray which we've seen obviously has been massively beneficial in the opening couple of games and just turned in as well. The owners is really on Everton on Monday night to control a game and to play the football and to, you know, to again to get our brainly and to show our quality. It's these types of games where, you know, we won't have to hit a team on the counter attack necessarily. Maybe later on in the game if they're coming out and they're trying to get an equaliser or whatever that might work in our favour but initially they're not going to come out flying out of the, you know, the stands thinking right we're going to get the first goal here. They'll be very much right. Don't let them score and then it's up to us. Again, you mentioned last season the amount of chances we missed. We can't be having another, I don't want to be sitting here on Tuesday, you know, Wednesday, whenever it'll be saying, you know, how many chances did we have in that first half that we couldn't convert and, you know, you know against the side like Bailey if you get a chance, you know, you need to put it in the back of the net because again they are a tough side to play so it'll be interesting. It'll be interesting, you know, can't wait to get back to goodness and obviously because it has been too long. But I would like to hope that we've got the quality with Dominic Calvert living obviously and training. Ben Godfrey potentially being back and maybe not being back. We'll wait and see. Hamers obviously training Solomon Rondon, you know, coming into the club obviously, the Marey Grae, Andrews Townsend, all of those players. So Alex Iwoe being in good form at the moment so we should have, you know, more than enough to go and win the game and hopefully we can do that. Hamers, things really interesting what you were saying there. I personally don't see him starting but I think having him in the squad would be a big boost. Obviously he hasn't gone anywhere. There was talks about him going off to Turkey and Portugal, it's not happened and I think everything, I think everything, there's a better squad with him innit. I understand, there's two sides to it. I understand that people are desperate for him to stay and I understand people looking at the other side going well he doesn't want to play and he's on a boat doing all this. It just goes to show, you know, the misinformation as well. It's something I did point out the other day is that people were putting stories out of how he had to isolate and he couldn't train and all that without knowing what his status is. Well he don't know what his status is which we've been told he didn't have to isolate and it's proving that. So I think he'll be back in contention for a place in the squad. Hopefully he can do that. And you're right it might be a case with 20 minutes to go, 25 minutes to go, but he says look at it and goes, we need hammers to unlock these because they're so difficult to break down because they are. Hopefully from our perspective, Everton are able to break them down early on and we can build momentum and go on and win the game. I'm not trying to look too forward into the future, but it could maybe be a turning point in hammers or diggers as a career. We've all spoke about him playing in front of a packed out goodness and park with a full capacity stadium. If he comes on at a point where we're going, this is difficult and he comes on and does a bit of magic or fires one in in the top corner or plays a lovely ball through. It could change from his mentality of I'm not really bothered, I don't really want to be and I'm not focused. I want one of this. The opportunity is there for us not to convince him because the club should be enough to convince him, but don't forget this is a fella who's a Welsh superstar. He's played at all the big clubs in Europe and has come into Everton for a man and he's had no longer there, but played in empty stadiums for the year where football isn't really real. He's had no chance to bond with Evertonians, he's had no chance to go have his wow moments. We've seen that with the Corey when he smashed it in against Southampton just the emotion and he said I've waited to score a goal for Everton because he wanted to come here for over two years. He said I've waited for that moment for over two years of air in this stadium, celebrate with me and you're seeing Alan how energized he was as the crowd noise went up. If that could happen to Hammers as well it'd be excellent, but barely we've already pointed out. Let's have a look how he lined up last time.

Neil's got quality as well as Neil's. What we have to worry about. He's also added Maxwell Cornyd. He's got Aaron Lennon in the squad who's coming. He's got Conor Roberts as well in front Swansea on deadline day. So, Everton, you know, with the 4-4-2. And Everton, to be honest, have been playing since half time in the Southampton game. We've kind of gone 4-4-2, 4-4-1-1 haven't we? So, again, that's another little interesting thing to look out for in this game. I actually, as part of our opposition preview on Peyton, spoke to Chris from Torbain. This is a little bit of what Chris had to say about the game. Heather, this game, what have you made of Everton so far this season? Obviously, you drew to Leeds 2-2, like we drew. You've got Rafa Benitez, haven't you? You've got Rafa Benitez and I think he's a class manager. If you stick with him, he's obviously going to do very well. Obviously, you're still undefeated. I think at the beginning of the season I predicted Everton to have a really good season because of Rafa. And I think it's going to be a tough game. It's going to be different to when we played you last season. But yeah, I think whenever you go to Everton, it's going to be tough. The thing is with Everton, you're not talked about up there with the city or the Liverpool United. You're not really talked, but you have got a very solid, on paper, you're a quality team. And I think with the manager of Rafa Benitez, I think obviously you're going to do so much better. I think with Charleston, again, a great player, but I think in the last game it sort of went to his head with the rumours of him maybe signing for a big... You got into that little scuffle, didn't you, with the other player? With Dom over the penalty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you've got a quality team and it's obviously going to be tough going to goodness. And I think, as I said, your quality team, there's not really much to say apart from that. You're still undefeated and you're going to be looking to carry that on. Well, that was Chris talking about Everton, obviously. It seems to be a big fan of Rafa Benitez, which is fair play. It makes some good points about Benitez there and what he thinks Everton will do. I also asked Chris for who Bernley's danger man was, and this is what he had to say. Who's the danger man we should be looking out for from Bernley in your eyes? Well, I want to say Cornet, but obviously I don't really say a lot. I don't think he's going to start even against Everton, knowing dodge. I would say Dwight McNeill, definitely a little scuffle, but this season as well he's played unbelievable in every game. So I'm not really expecting him to really, you know, worse than that in the Everton game. I think, yeah, Dwight McNeill is definitely a player who, yeah, I'm surprised he's not left. It is wrong in a sense. I'm surprised he's not gone to a team like Everton or something like that. He's a player of star quality. So, yeah, him on the wing definitely going to be tough. Chris Wood, again, he's scored in the Leeds game. He's got his confidence a bit up, so he's going to be a big target man. But I feel like, you know, you look at Bernley, you look at him and you don't really see a lot of star players, but it's just about the team ethic and the work that we put in. So it depends what day you catch us on it. It depends who scores first, really. If you score first, then you're pretty all right, I think. So it's just about how we play the game and, you know, we'll slow it down and we'll see. Chris, that's all kind of about Bernley's danger man. Well, obviously the biggest one he mentioned was Dwight McNeill, but it was heavily linked with Everton all summer. But he's got a nice left foot, hasn't he? Yeah, I mean, we showed that first hand, didn't we last season at Godderson Park? Unfortunately, technically, very, very good football. Obviously, there's a question there about his pace and speed and why, you know, that was a big talking point when he was linked with Everton and when we were having the conversations about his equal enough. But technically, there's no doubting his ability. That goal at Godderson last season was absolutely special and that's what we've got to be careful of. You know, we know our defence sometimes can be susceptible of allowing those types of situations to occur. So we have to be aware that if he's standing anywhere near the edge of the box with the ball that is left foot, don't allow him the space and time to bend one round because he can do that as shown last season. So technically, a very good player and certainly someone to look out for on Monday night. Yeah, definitely will have to watch. I mean, it could be that we picked out Damari Gray with some of Damari Gray. So it could be a battle of the left wingers. So we've now done a nice head-to-head with Adib Goron so far. So let's have a look at that. There we go, Damari Gray and Dwight McNeill. Both made three appearances played in every Premier League game this season. Dwight, Damari Gray has two goals, Dwight McNeill, yet to register that neither of them have got an assist at the moment. Damari Gray, no big chance has created. Dwight McNeill, one big chance has created. Damari Gray has passed an accuracy of 82% of Dwight McNeill's 77%. Obviously, what we've benefitted from is Damari Gray's goals. I think we'd like to see him continue that if he could get 6, 7, 8 this season and be a real help, wouldn't it, to the team? Absolutely, absolutely. I think as well, we've benefitted from his pace and his directness. Having somebody on that side of the pitch who picked the ball up in his aim is just to get forward and get in the right areas. I mean, he scored twice for everything this season and the two goals have been almost carbon copy of each other, picking the ball up, running down that left hand side and firing it across the goalkeeper and two goals with his left foot as well. Again, moments where we needed them to pop up, he popped up in big moments. Like I said, obviously we've just spoke about Dwight McNeill and the quality that he brings. I think technically Dwight McNeill is more likely to whip on in from outside of the box. There may be Damari Gray's, but Damari Gray is faster than Dwight McNeill so we'll cause a lot of trouble to barely down that left hand side. I don't think he'll have as much space to run into. On Monday night as he's had in the two previous games, as we mentioned before, with the counter-attack and style that was played recently, often when he's picked up the ball Damari Gray, he's had a lot of space to run into. By the time he's drived forward, he's effectively in the box so he's got a decision to make whether to pass it or to take a shot. I think we may see more of his ability or hopefully see his ability to take a player on. On Monday night, I think there'll be a lot of sort of head-to-head standing up. We won't have as much space to just run into freely. He'll have to take a player on. He'll have to make a decision quicker and hopefully he can do that well on Monday night because, like I said, it won't be an easy afternoon for him. But we've benefitted massively from just having somebody so direct on that left hand side. He doesn't just want to pick it up and go right. I'm going to pass it sideways. He's going right. I'm heading that way and I'm heading that way fast. Then hopefully he can show his dribbling ability on Monday as well. Yeah, it will be a tough game. There's no doubt about it. Just some little facts before we go. After winning four of the first six Premier League meetings with Burnley, Everton have won just three of the last eight against the Clarrits. Not great. Just one of the last 15 meetings between Everton and Burnley has been drawn with both sides winning the seven, eight of the others. That was last season, wasn't it? It was a tough one. Dominic Calverlumin scored in every Premier League game this season for Everton, having also netted in their first five matches of the campaign last time. He's the first player in Premier League history to score in his side's first three games in consecutive seasons. Did not know that one. It's not anyway if you play for another club. Champion chips like it. Apparently so. Everton's Dymari Gray scored neat of his last two Premier League games having scored in just two of his previous 32 in the competition. Need them to carry that on. He can make it three and three and off we go. Dwight McNeill has played 99 Premier League games for Burnley. He'd be the youngest player to reach 100 appearances in the competition for the Clarrits on Monday. He's 21 years and 295 days so congratulations to Dwight McNeill. I'm sure he will break that record on Monday when he appears in the game. So there you go. That is our preview. We are feeling quietly confident that Everton can continue their good start.
