 Hello, welcome to Tovi TV. It is the start of the Everton play Manchester United tonight in the FA Cup. A lot of people have spoke about this as being a write-off or not really a matter. We should focus on the league, whatever. Frank Lampard said he doesn't see it that way in his press conference and to be honest, this could be a huge game for Frank Lampard. I personally think he'll be in charge for Southampton no matter what at this rate. But if you get to, you know, a big weapon tonight, then it could be the last game for Everton that he manages. So I'm gonna, I'm guessing he's going for the strong team and I'm gonna pick a strong team as well starting in goal Jordan Pickford. Didn't really do much against Bryton for me. I think, certainly, was it there for, I think it was their fourth goal when they went through one-on-one. And it seems like every time a play goes one-on-one with Jordan Pickford, it's a guaranteed goal. He has to improve one-on-one. But yeah, they've cut through it was quite easy. Bryton on the weekend and on Tuesday, sorry, and we can't let that happen again. It gets much united. They've got a lot of quality in this team, a lot of pace. So I'm guessing he's gonna be facing a lot of chances. So he has to be at his best. Wing backs, I've got Coleman and Mikolenko, obviously Patterson's gonna be over six weeks with the media ligaments injury. The next best option is Seamus Coleman. And I've gone for a back five today as well. So we can have three behind Coleman with a bit of cover. It's less pressure on Coleman to get up and down the pitch as you would do in a back four. So stay a bit higher and get higher at the pitch and get some crosses in. He's still, you know, he's still good enough to get up the pitch and get crosses in. And he doesn't have to, we don't have to round him and get him up and down the pitch because he is, you know, 33, 34 years of age now. And I still think he's a decent backup. So I've gone with Coleman. Mikolenko on the other side, poor against Bryton. Poor defensively. And I think he made his first overlap run on something like the 70th minute, which is abysmal to be honest. And I appreciate that. The wide man fronts you out, you know, could be quite deep or in your way or whatever, or positionally poor or, you know, losing the ball as soon as they get it. So it gives you less time to get forward. But he's got to start getting better going forward because at the moment we're not breaking teams down. We're not creating chances and I expect everyone to be, you know, better in that area. Start with Mikolenko. Be three centre backs. I've got Cody, Godfrey and Tarkowski. They were really solid against Man City. I really don't understand why we went back to 43. I think Lampard is the only person who does and hopefully not always thinking, why did I go back to 43? Because we tried a system that was the first time for a while where we looked like we had a game plan. I watched us against Bryton. I thought, I'm thinking, what's our game plan here? I'll be trying to break them down because we're not getting plays at one end of the channels next to the striker. Between the full backs and centre backs. Are we just trying to get crosses in? The white, we cross on the ball. Oh, we're just going to keep passing it round the back and sideways. That seems to be our game plan. We're against City. We went saying tight compacts, played the low block and made it hard to beat. And we had two shots in that game and we managed to score one of them and we got a point from it. So we did that against, you know, arguably the best team in the league or one of the best teams in Europe and got a point off them. Why did we change against a team that aren't anywhere near as good as City and Bryton? A good team, but nowhere near as any good as City and we changed and they beat us 4-1. So tonight, I think we should go to Man United and play that same system against City. Trying to nick a winner. If not, get the draw. And I think there's a replay. I think we're doing replays in this round. If not, then they might go to penalties. I might win on that, but I'm pretty sure they're doing replays. But you just can't go and be as open as you can against Bryton. They walk through our midfield and they cut open our defence very, very easily. So we've got to be tighter, we've got to be more compact. Godfrey in there has got that pace. If they do get in behind it, they did against, you know, like Bryton did against us, then he's got the pace to get back and put a block in or put a tackle in and we can get higher at the pitch then. Cody and Tarkovsky, Tarkovsky was shot, was poor for me at Bryton. So was Cody. We've got to be better this game, simple as. Midfield. Address again to Gay, O'Nana and Iwobi. Gay was OK in terms of making interceptions and getting round the pitch against Bryton for the first 15, 20 minutes or so, and then they thought the rest of the game was shocking. I don't know what happened to him in that game, whether it's an age thing, I don't know. But he's got to be better in this game for me. O'Nana got him back in there. He was obviously out suspended against Bryton. Tom Davis was poor. DeCore, he's been poor when he's came on, so only the choice for me is O'Nana. And Iwobi's in there simply because I still hold a light for him for the start season he had. He was shocking against Bryton, but like I said, on other starting elevens, he's our most creative output. So if hopefully if he's on it and everyone else is on it, then you know, we can try and get some from the game, but he's got to be on it. Like I said, he can't have another game against Bryton because A, will create nothing and B, I wouldn't feel it's going to be too easy to play against. And then up front, Demari Gray, Dominic Harvard-Lewing. I don't get a bit of criticism for Bryton, but listen, you play as a system where your wide men are holding hands with their full backs and you've got a striker with 30 mile radius. We could have Lemondowski up front and they'd do nothing. I watched Lemondowski for Paul in the World Cup and they did the same thing. They had him completely on his own and he did nothing because he had no one to play with around him. Dominic Harvard-Lewing's got to have someone he can get the ball and flick it onto them or pass and go with them. He can't be up front on his own because it's two against one, then put it that way. And in the 43, the way we have our wingers, the centre backs have got no one else to occupy. There's no one dragging the centre backs off, don't allow them to get space in behind. He's just completely marked the whole game by two, if not three players. So this game, get Demari Gray close to him, get him running in behind on the shoulder, get him dragging centre backs away and he's a bit of a pace mobile player and he's dangerous, he's already against City. He scored that goal. I don't think he'd really do anything against Bryson, but he wasn't the worst player. And Gordon hasn't done anything to come into the scene for me. McNeil, I don't want to see him in an ever-zinc shirt again, to be honest. And that's not personal. I just think he's rubbish. And I don't want to see more play starting this team either. A few people said, mentioned Ellis Sims for this game. I'd like to see maybe feature off the bench. Otherwise, why have you calling back on Loam? You just look silly if you want to do that and they're not playing. Whether he's good enough to start, if you want to get something in this game, I don't think so. I think Dom and Gray are better options for me personally. And with this formation I'm playing, I'm not going to play midfield or anything, am I? But if Dom does 60, 70 minutes and isn't producing, then give Ellis Sims a chance. But yeah, that's my starting 11. Please let me know your starting 11 in the comments, whether you're good with mine or any changes you would make. Would you start a weekend team? I don't know. And also, if we get beat in this game, do you think that's the end for Frank Lampard or do you think he'll be the manager for Southampton at home next week? There you go. I want to leave it there.
