 Hello everybody and welcome to this week's Everton show. It's been a week of mixed fortunes, hasn't it, for the Toffees. Three Premier League points on the board with a 2-1 win against Bournemouth, in spite of course by Oomar Niass at Goodison Park at the weekend, but then the disappointment of sharing four goals with Apollon Limassol, also at Goodison on Thursday in Group A of the Europa League. Let's first of all get some reaction from the European game. We make incredible mistakes by the first goal of Apollon and then we got a big present to score the 1-1 by Wayne. After that, better, more aggressive. Second half, okay. Good football. Good goal, the 2-1, chances for the third goal. And even after the 2-2 we had maybe the biggest chance in the game to win the game and that's also football. If you are struggling, maybe a little bit afraid and then you don't get that luck. Yeah, you know, sometimes you need to have luck in football. Today we didn't because we have some chance and in second half they had a bunch of chances and they scored so we watched for the game in Sunday and we hope we will have more luck. Some players when they come to England take time to adjust but you seem to have settled in very quickly. Are you happy with how you are playing so far? Yeah, I'm happy because I have a chance. I play already two games from the start and I came side two. So I'm happy with that but I have many games in my legs because I play where I was very young. So I know it will be time to adjust but I think I will be much more better so it is not my full adjustment. Graeme, no hiding away from that. A 2-2 draw at home to the Cypriots is not a good result. Very disappointing, unfortunately. Ten minutes to go you think we have ourselves back into a good position in the Europa League table but we lose that goal from a set piece which is even more disappointing because we should be able to deal with that situation and all of a sudden we find ourselves bottoming the table so it is very, very disappointing evening for us. You just didn't keep the football well enough when we needed to? No, especially first half. I think the boss will be upset with the way we failed to look after the ball properly in the first half. Second half we certainly improved upon that, created a few more chances, looked a little bit livelier especially with Nicola Vladich coming on and I thought his performance was excellent and he should be proud of that as well. He was excellent and I mean he got the reward as well by getting us that equalising goal which was all important but unfortunately even though we got ourselves ahead we couldn't hang on to it and it was vital that we had won that game. Was a lovely finish not at a composed finish, at the Gladys 3-10 by once so young? Yeah it was, I mean he's come on and he's been positive, he's given us some energy and he takes his chances, a lovely little ball round the corner from Guilfrey Sigurdsson to set him on route to goal and he takes one touch and then buries it with a plon pass the goalkeeper and we're back into the game so you know at that moment you expect us to go on and pick up all three points. Any other plus points from the game Graeme? Any decent individual performances for you? I thought Leighton Baines played very well, I thought young Mason Holgate had a decent game at centre half and obviously the performance of Vladich, they had the three most positive moments for me but I think all round I think even the lads would concede that we have to improve. The other game ended in a draw, what does it not matter? Well I think we've looked to ourselves don't we? You know that would have been an ideal scenario for us that you know those two Leon and Atalanta only take a point each and we win the game because then all of a sudden the group looks totally different. Now we're up against it, we're going to have to produce some really big performances, two games against Leon, Atalanta here and obviously a difficult trip as we've already seen with Limousole out on their patch so hopefully we're still in the situation where we can win the group when we go out to Cyprus but it's going to take some big performances. The games are coming thick and fast as you can see and here no doubt the lawn mowers in the background, the ground staff have only got a few days to get good support ready for the next Premier League game. Let's now hear from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, he's this week's focus of a very popular feature that we call my first. My first car was a Volkswagen Polo, a black one, first football hero probably either Thierry Omri or Ronaldinho. The first game I can remember going to was I think it was an FA Cup semi-final Sheffield United against Arsenal at Old Trafford. Probably too young to be listening to it about 50 cent. Get rich or die trying. The first pet was a dog, called Luca, American Bulldog. The first roommate ever was Tel Kennedy from Sheffield United. I was on the bench in the FA Cup third round and he was my first roommate. My favourite Christmas present when I was a kid was probably a Nintendo Wii. I had a paper round when I was 13. I used to have to be at training for half four and I finished school at about half three and then my nan had dragged me around my paper round. So I got a thank her for that. We're back inside, we're in the media centre here. That was Dominic Calvert-Lewin. What's impressed you about Dominic this year? Just his development as a whole I think Darren. Clearly we saw a taste of it last year where you can see that Dominic's got good pace about him. His athleticism is good. He can score you a goal and that's the most important thing for a centre forward. I just think he's come on again so far at the start of this season. The fact that he scored goals early on will give him confidence as well. I think he's shown a real maturity to lead the line for us so far this season. A lot has happened so soon, so quickly for Dominic since he came from Sheffield United but he seems to be taking it all in his stride which is very important. Well he's a level headed guy. Very intelligent, very articulate when you speak to him so he's clearly a clever thinking person and he shows that on the park as well. He thinks about what he's doing. Some of the runs he makes are excellent as well. Doesn't always get seen but I can see him in the stand. Some of the runs he makes are intelligent. He seems to push on beyond defences as well which is important. You can't keep coming short. You've got to stretch teams as well. From one young player making his mark at Goodison Park to another one. Let's speak to Mason Holgate. He's looking ahead to our game with Burnley at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. Yeah it's massive. I think we had a tough run of fixtures opening the season but I think now we've seen games. We believe it can be anybody on our day but we've seen games now that we need to get points up and start moving up the league. You played at centre-back last weekend how much did you enjoy that challenge? Yeah I really enjoyed it. I'm happy to play anywhere but centre-backs were at my preferred position so to get a chance there obviously I wasn't wishing injuries on anyone but to get a chance there is really positive for me and I enjoyed it. You had to contest with Defoe and King last weekend. This weekend it could be Vokes and Woods. Slightly different challenge. Is that something you relish? Obviously every time you play a new team every week there's going to be different challenges and that's beauty at Premier League you're always going to come against. So everybody brings a certain different aspect to the game that's more challenging than what the person before was. No matter who we're playing against I feel like I'll be up for it already. For your season so far how do you feel it's gone? Yeah it's been okay. I've enjoyed it. I'm playing a lot of games there's a lot of games I've come fast so as long as I'm on pitch I'm happy and I feel like we do it. I've done alright and looking forward to it carrying on. Graham when you look at Bayley you look at the job that Sean Dice has done. They're no longer the type of football club that is happy to finish fourth from bottom and is content to simply be in the Premier League for the following season they've surely set their sights high now. I think they probably have they probably sat down pre-season had a meeting and set their stall rounds decided what can we do what's our targets for this season. I think one of them will certainly to improve their away form because at home last season they got their line share of the points and they were very very good at turf more but away from home they got rolled over too simply. So I think we'll see a Burnley side come here try and frustrate us put ten men behind the ball and try and stay in the game for as long as they possibly can. They know what goodness and part can be like at times it can get a little bit frustrating for everybody watching the game and things aren't working out and panning out in the way that we want them to and sometimes that's that can play into the hands of the opposition and that's what Burnley are going to look to do to us. They spent a few quid on Chris Wood from Leeds United New Zealand International good centre forward and he's hit the ground running. Yeah he has it's probably a good fit for him as well as a player you know he did terrifically well at Leeds but to get a move into the Premier League you know not one of the big clubs but certainly a club that is looking to progress in the Premier League as we've already touched on I think it's a good move for him and he's set off in a good fashion. From Mason Holgate a few moments ago he was pressed into central defensive action last weekend due to injuries but he coped with it well. He did yeah I mean and two good players as well Josh King and Jermaine Defoe two really good players so it's a good test for Ashley and Mason he might have to do it again Sunday remains to be seen. He's an old head on young shoulders. He is he's a good lad. Certainly one for the future and that's it for part one of this week's Everton show but don't go too far away because there's a real treating store in part two we spend a lot of time in the company of one of Diamond's old team-mates Daniel Amacacci. Welcome back to part two well back in 1994 Everton signed a virtually unknown Nigerian striker called Daniel Amacacci but by the time he'd left Gooderson Park he was an Everton legend thanks largely to an unforgettable afternoon in 1995 when he was the hero of an FA Cup semi-final win against Tottenham Hotspur. Well it goes like this that Paul Rideout's gone down on the far side of the pitch and I've said to Daniel get warmed up and then Lez Helm used to have a code you know we didn't like earphones or any of that nonsense Lez was a very basic man at times and it was either that, that or that you know so but he's given me that for Paul Rideout he thinks he's so he's going to take him off the pitch and treat him. I've said to Daniel and he said he was that desperate to get and I'm so pleased that he did substitute himself but realistically Paul Rideout there wasn't that I didn't want to get Daniel on I just wanted to see what was happening but he was so keen came on scored two and the rest as they say Daniel what's your memories of that game? I remember but I remember quite alright when Paul went down and I saw for me I thought Lez Lez said you know you know five minutes and you know and then get warmed up Daniel he's at home and then Jimmy was the coach from the reserve you know Jimmy Gabriel. Jimmy Gabriel just gave me the paper and I handed over and I just walked in and I saw how Joe got up from his seat and I looked back at him and I've already crossed the line. But I say again it wasn't that I didn't want Daniel on I just wanted to see because we were playing well at the time you know we were we'd come back into the game they had a dubious penalty the only goal we conceded in the whole cup run and then you know Daniel's going on I just didn't want to play quite that quickly but I'm so glad he did. The players they had you know they the players they had you know I think everybody thought we were going to lose that game because sports we on fire they were really on fire. Sharing them cleans them and bomb them it was incredible but you know the good thing about us from you know from the training throughout that week to the locker room at Allen Road that believed that we're going to win that game was right there and you can see it from the first second when the referee blew and you can see the way everybody was walking and you know even the players on the bench you know that's the most beautiful thing about you know the coach here you know the atmosphere that he brings into the into the teams makes a lot of difference and he contributed in that in our success in winning the FA Cup you know for sure. And people don't know I nearly signed him at Manchester City when I was managed I was desperate to sign him at Manchester City shall we be political and say he had a very unfavorable reports and operation that he had done and we couldn't sign him I was desperate to sign Daniel I tell you what I was desperate to sign Daniel the player and Daniel the person because he's he was one of those rare people who could light the dressing room and he had a great dance he used to dance he did honestly Neville Southall had this now 56 or whatever it was and I remember Wigfield was number one but the House of Pain used to come on to jump around and that was just key for Daniel to stand up and give us all there but he had the place buzz and he was a great what would you call it a great igniter of the dressing room the best substitution I never made You were here at the club when Daniel first signed what's your first memories of him first memories is his first goal he scored and he kept telling us he had this strange dance that he did when he said to celebrate a goal and I remember he scored at the park end end if I'm right and I jumped on his back and he couldn't do the dance and he was like get off and he couldn't do his dance but we saw the dance a few more times after that so that's my first memories of Daniel and John Ulls just in and around the dressing room Daniel was brilliant brilliant fit for us at the time he was full of life great form big beam and smile fitted in straight away great for Banta you know we would pull his leg he'd pull ours just brilliant around the lads fantastic and it was a great time at the club because that period when we were struggling and everyone remembers that memorable season whereby we were towards the bottom of the league Joe came in we won the Derby and then it just took off from there it did and we went on a great cup run and our league form improved as well at the same time one thing that stood out with that team not just the fact that we escaped the relegation and won the FA Cup but the team spirit I have to say and I say it every player's home is open to the next you know he invites me to his house like one million times and you know I know his wife I know his kids and you know it's an incredible memory if you have that spirit in a team definitely you should be very successful you know when Joe came in he told him what he wanted and we saw more of him you know as a player you know what he can do more the confidence that he had in swinging those crosses those corner kicks those set pieces and you know he took the team to the next level and of course should I mention your name Boldy Wow guilty he was incredible in the middle this one his energy in the middle was second to none we're back in Europe this season John and Sir you guys played with each other in Europe do you know what was special was anyone when we beat Reckevic 3-2 you all scored all three of you all scored you're boring you are boring are you telling us that by the way you could ask us any question in the world and you tell are you asking us that well he's looking at me because it's a big I mean just special memories in terms of favourite games from that era what was the only stand out for you well I have to be the semi-final that was a one great performance and obviously Daniel was a massive part of that and you know I'm not sure he was meant to be going on or whatever but I don't care and it was a magnificent performance that day and there's so many you still see pictures of it now and it's a great picture an amazing day and a great performance and probably a pinnacle well obviously the cup final but in England I think playing for Everton I think that was the game my first game at home at Goudiz and scoring I did mention and the semi-final of course I think I think that I did tell you earlier you know growing up as an African in Africa is the FA Cup we know you know and to be part of you know history to help a team win you know the trophy it goes a long way and just finally for how proud this club's history is what does it mean for the three of you that fans are always going to look back and think remember you and what is the special moment in the club's you know we all play football to win and to win trophies and to have memories and again to quote your royal rocking chair memories you know when you're old and you sit back and you think back on your career you'll remember games like we call it the ammo semi-final don't we just so much pride filled with being a part of this wonderful football you know like I did said earlier once a blue always a blue you know there's a lot of things here somebody asked me this morning how many seasons did you play I said two it's just two you know because the love that they have for me and I have for them it's second to none and that's the most beautiful thing about it and that's why we're still here I'm not wearing the badge but I'm a blue forever and nobody can take that away from me it was me that asked you about the two seasons it was because how much bad gear did you wear flamboyant and you're still going on today look at that look at that no no I brought fashion into the team that's how you cook Duncan brought the madness I brought fashion he did look the past off the pitch ammo didn't he he did very flamboyant in his dress sense wasn't he I mean it was funny actually because I mean you got two ends of the spectrum really you got John Ebrel at one end the other end ammo was all glitz and glamour which is a bit rich coming from me today but ammo knows what I mean back in the day you were somewhere in the middle weren't you to be fair yeah always sitting in the middle just nice comfort zone let's switch our attentions to the under-23s a terrific victory against Arsenal at Southport 4-2 yeah continuing their good vein of form and I'm sure David Unsruff and the boys would be really really happy about the performance because Arsenal were a good side they went one nil down as well so to show the desire to get themselves to have a setback when Arsenal equalised but we forged on and pushed forward and got the three points the Arsenal goalkeeper didn't exactly shout himself in glory on the night he didn't did he I mean he's gone in down in instalments on two of the goals and gets done at the near post on our fourth one I'm sure he'll be disappointed but you take those chances when he comes your way if you're a home player you can see by the celebrations David Unsruff joining in as well just how much it means to these boys that we set our stall out with the under 23s that we want them to get into the first team squad into the first team 11 but go there winning games of football learn to win you know get into the habit of winning games of football because you can't beat the habit of winning David Unsworth's big on game management Sydney and as you said earlier the boys did fall behind they showed immense character yeah I mean that's what it's all about I mean if you're going to pull on the blue shirt week in week out you've got to show character that's first and foremost you've got to have a desire I've got that I've seen them on numerous occasions Darren as we all have and you know to a man they show that and David demands it on them the downside of the night of course was a bad injury to Gethyn Jones yeah that's really unfortunate you know we talk about a fantastic performance and the three points and what have you had overshadowed obviously by the injury to Gethyn we hope it's not going to be too bad obviously we've got to sit tight and wait and see the full extent of the injury but we hope it's going to be short term rather than long term for Gethyn because he's a very good player and a really nice lad as well and you don't like to see the good guys injured we wish him well and the other 23 boys are up to second place now in Premier League 2 and that's just about it for this week's Everton Show my thanks to Graeme Stewart for joining us this week there's no evidence show next week by the way we're all taking an international break so do join us again in a fortnight
