 Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the instant match reaction. Newcastle United won, Everton 2, a fantastic victory at St. James's Park today for the Blues. Yeah, he's just gone. Apologies. Just a really, really good three points. It's always hard this time of year to put some results together, but if you can, it really does propel you up the league. Coming into this month, I was maybe slightly optimistic. I thought we could get ten points out of this month. We needed to get ten points out of this month. After everyone had told us how bad December was looking and what we've ended up getting 11 points out of it. From that point of year to being brilliant, we've nearly doubled our points almost, haven't we, from what we had on the Marco Silver. I'm not saying it's a full transformation, but the differences are startling, I think, between what we had with the Lone Striker and everyone else. 20 yards behind to having a free-flowing team with players flying forward and getting back in. Obviously today he made five changes, much needed. He knew we couldn't play the same team. He knew it was all about legs. He'd already said that, brought the legs of Leighton Baines. It's funny people like Leighton Baines coming back because under Marco Silver, I actually said this this time last year, after we'd beaten Burnley 5-1, we went down to Brighton and I think we might have made one change or possibly two changes. He was flogging the players because he didn't trust the other players where there's Marco and Carlo Antillati's simply looked at it from a fitness point of view first. That team possibly can't sustain the levels and we have to get the legs in. That's sensible management. People like Leighton Baines coming into the team. Obviously he's played a little bit more recently with Dean being injured so his legs have played a little bit more. But it's those little changes. Obviously we've seen Michael Keane coming today for Miener and Tom Davis coming back into the side. Just those little changes I think made a massive difference. He kept the likes of Dominic Averlywm, Richard Lawson, Mason Hawgay, players I think he knows are fifth. I think they're young and they look after themselves and they're fifth no matter what. The fifth no matter what they will run through brick walls. I think today with Charlottes and Dominic Averlyw were absolutely fantastic. I think in previous games what was happening under Marco Silver was. If they weren't playing well as in the game, they weren't contributing. Maybe with Charlottes and a little bit less because he always works hard but certainly Dominic Averlyw. I think since Duncan Faggson came in I think what you're seeing out on him is maximum effort and making sure they're in the game. Even when maybe it's not in an attacking sense, they're working hard. This is really annoying. The closing people down and I want to talk a little bit slower now. The closing people down, they are getting the faces of defenders and they're getting into the game a lot more. I think that showed today. Obviously Dom scored basically with his first chance and then obviously gets the winning goal from a great run from a Charlotteson. Nice tapping at the back post even though it wasn't the cleanest of connections. It went in, it does that all it matters. That's for him as well. He's working hard all round the pitch but now he's working hard to get into positions in the box as well. I think that's hugely important. I think this is something that people forget is how hard centre forward work to get into positions and that's what we've seen from Dom recently. He's working hard to get into positions. Those two have been absolutely brilliant. The whole team worked hard today. We changed formation a couple of times because it was a difficult game. Andy Carroll was really good today apart from throwing himself on the floor all the time. He really impressed me how many jewels he won in the air, let's be honest. He gave Michael Keane a bit of a time in the first half. It was just about getting players round him. He's always a threat. I thought towards the end, Sadibi, the little push, nearly gave a penalty away. That might have been because he'd been throwing himself on the floor too much Andy Carroll. It's only pegged us. He got the equaliser. Again a really silly free kick. If I can criticise the players for one thing it's giving away silly free kicks. People may argue that it was on a free kick. It's the fact that we are putting in challenges in silly areas and we're not being a little bit wiser to situations. We responded brilliantly. The manager bought Delfon. He understood that we needed to get hold of the midfield. Keane was unlucky because he had a couple of chances but he never scored. It's fine saying he's getting into the game. He really should have scored. He made a little change. He put Charlotte on the right and obviously that was fantastic for the goal. Even at the back he brought on Coleman and Baines went off and he brought on Mina. He changed the whole of the defence and the midfield shape. Tom Davis went on the left. Seeing two or three formations in one game it's incredible. Different in game management. What was the thing I always moaned about about Michael Silver? It was in game management. It looks like we've got a manager who completely knows how to handle that. There's a lot of people I understand calling for you and me to come a little bit earlier to deal with Andy Carroll. But only the manager knows or the coaching staff know what these players have got in the tank. The manager might have looked at it and thought if Andy Carroll wins a few headers it's about reacting to the knockdowns. We didn't do that well enough for the goal they scored. I don't quite understand why Charlotte was marking Andy Carroll for him to head it down. I don't know. A momentary lapse of concentration, I don't know. Or they're giving assigned areas to go into and then mark up. Part zone or part man-to-man. I don't know. That's the thing is that you don't know. And yet he mean it might have only had 10, 15 minutes really in his legs. And we've used them in those 10 minutes to see out the game. Which I thought we did brilliantly well again, like we did the other day. And you only have to look at the stats, possession. Cos the first half an hour we were so comfortable and that game was incredible. And if there was any criticism, that's when we should have put the game to bed. It was a bit like Southampton. I mean it played out completely like Southampton. But it was a bit like that. We got a little bit comfortable. We were rarely should be punching to finish the game off. To finish the game off. But we didn't. So we responded brilliantly from them scoring. And we had a couple more chances. And you look at how many shots we've had on target. Just seeing the stat before saying it's the most combined shot of two games of any Premier League team this season I think. And the first time I've had that many in two games in four years or something like that. Probably under Martinis. He really has made a difference since he's come on. Carl-Ow Antolotti's not simply about just talking to the players and lifting them. Tactically he's had such a big difference. And I think as we go forward now we're sitting 10th in the Premier League at the moment 25 points I think it is. We can confidently look up now rather than look down. And that's a huge thing as we still got half a season basically to play. So I came into Man City and then Liverpool in the cup. But I think now we're starting to see we're making a few more chances. And with players to come back into the team as well. And other players to be fit as well. And you know it's weird because you know you go back a few weeks. Oh certainly maybe around the time of the dark. Well knowledge was the real one wasn't it? When you looked at it and you're really. I mean Pearson and I was really really worried about the situation. But I was worried about the situation under Marco Silva. Now. Cos for me he had nothing. I had absolutely nothing. And you know the passion of Duncan Ferguson and now the tactical astuteness of Carlo Ancelotti. He's already got a magnificent song. And he's only been here two games. And he's the first. I think he's the first. Only him David Moyes and Joe Royal have ever won their first two games as Everett managers. So it's just a really good win. A really positive win today. And a real springboard now going forward. Two tough games that we've got through and won. And in that, Dominic Cavallun has scored three goals in two games. You know it's there for him now. It's there for him. He's had the goals through his game. Which I always thought was always the big thing missing wasn't it? But I think now that he's got fans confidence now as well. I think a lot of the people who thought he couldn't do it are now looking on. You know what? He is actually a decent striker. He actually works really hard for the team. And he's had goals through his game. And I think with a little bit more strength in midfield. Another centre. Another centre midfielder. Another centre back. And maybe a playmaker. I think we've got the makings of a half decent. I don't want to go overboard. You know what I mean? Because this Premier League is wide open. It's still wide open. If we went on a good run in the second half of the season, we could still get Europe. And that's genuine when you look at the teams we were above us. So fantastic win. Fantastic three points. Fantastic trip back for the away fans. And yeah, we can all breathe a little bit easier now when that we're looking up rather than looking down. So I'm delighted with that today.
