 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the final word. Manchester United 2, Everton Nill, a dismo performance at Old Trafford as Everton Llews for the first time in five games. Bas, it was dismo, wasn't it? Yeah, dismo performance. It looked like the team looked like they were beaten in the dressing room rather than on the pitch, all over the place in the first half, which is strange for us your own dice team, seemed to not be able to count which strike passes. And only for the goalie had there been a lot worse and we just for whatever reason, we weren't at it and by all accounts it made it downfield and even Arsenal to some extent was the belief really in the players that they could get something out of the game and that's disappointing. The results, you'll have those days where the results don't go your way. It's all about performance levels isn't it and Everton for me felt well below what they've been doing of late. Yeah, I mean obviously we spoke about it all last week haven't we? The change has to be made with the courtie being suspended. It was never going to be an easy one because it does no like for like but the courtie and then it's a case of do you make one change or do you make a couple of changes depending on it. Well you know he's decided to bring Ella Sims in as the change but it never played out did it? When you look at Ella, you see Ella Sims coming to the team you think right and what will shift into my field? Greil go out to the right and we'll keep the continuity just with a different player in there and it won't be works out so you're expecting him to do something similar press high but it never played out like that and I still can't quite understand what he was trying to do. I mean listen qualified coach him and you know I'm sure there's different ways he wants to use them when you're in position when you're out of position but I couldn't really see what he was trying to do because what would be stayed wide? Greil saw to played in a hybrid number 10 role but played also on the right and it left a big hole in the midfield and then with the back four pressing back four being so high it ended up to just be a big one big mess that the players didn't really understand what was being asked of them. Yeah it was weird it was the thing that concerned about last week was moving too many people around and when I done a preview with Joe I actually mentioned jokingly that almost that he could try to marry Greil in the 10 off Ella Sims and leave a wobby where he was and he did seem to do that but like you say at times both the wobby and Greil were wide and it was like no one was close enough to Sims we'd lost what we were doing. We didn't even just boot it long to Sims and just go well we've got to try it let's like hit it up to him and get people around them we weren't even doing that either so we're trying to build up but I don't know it was just a bit of a mess and I was surprised how high we were as well. I don't think the line for me didn't need to be the high when Rashford's lighting it and he's in great form and Anthony I mean Anthony. After what he did to us a good listen as well. Why are we so high? We should have just been sack and tried to contain them a little bit and then with a wobby Greil on the counter attack and maybe Sims maybe catch them that way but I think listen he's not perfect this year and you'll make mistakes and think Saturday you made a mistake because we've been reliant on the corey in that position and having the stable side to settle. And he tried something different it didn't work. Yeah I just as I said I can't really fathom out what he was trying to do because with a wobby and with Greil taking up that space it just it didn't really ask too many questions of Mantis United and I thought because of the way he set up as well it left McNeill very isolated he was just on his own a lot of the time over there he didn't have anyone coming over on it. Anyone coming over on it any of the midfielders really coming in and joining up with him because obviously on on it and gone it are going to sit deep. He's got a left back behind him he's not a left back. I don't know if he did make a couple of overall runs one one quite early that he did quite well with one thing got a corner out of but apart from that that left McNeill really isolated so and Sims was coming dropping into the same area as well as the other two. I just I just couldn't get me you know the thing about it is you can say well he tried something didn't work I just can't understand what he was trying though and that's what gets me is like why go away from something that that has been working so far. I just I don't I don't get that at all and like you're saying earlier it's very reminiscent for me of the performance at Anfield and and and part maybe the second half against Arsenal because I thought to be fair for 35 minutes I thought the game plan was working all right at Arsenal and then you know stupid a little moment switching off and obviously a bad back pass. Lea just to be to know down at our time but just moving on I mean you know we start we started very open and it felt like it was felt like well are we going to have a go here and obviously we got the chance for Sims. Eilias in the game and it actually it's it's our best move of the game isn't it's good little walk face time passing just find the players and moving into space and Sims has got so much more time than he thinks he has and you know I remember last week you referenced Tom Davis and it was pretty much similar wasn't it was nearly the same position maybe not as close but it's almost that play not quite realising how much he's time he's got and he ends up just dragging it wide and. You think you're not going to get many opportunities here you've got to make the most of it. Yeah exactly the same position maybe that's Davis last year and okay. That was was unlucky to me and it was just mad in the off but you know Tom couldn't talk about his feet in it into that corner. The higher gives the shot up. I'm sure because it's in he's thinking it's in because you can't get there but to know it the target is criminal there because he's not going to get too many opportunities in the Premier League where he's on his own with the ball. You know when you have to strike through the ball and he's trying to just side foot it and it's almost a what will be there he's almost hit him in the heel of his foot and that's how he's dragged it but he's just got it out of his foot and it's across it into that far corner. The higher you get there and there's a moment where you just go that was a glorious chance because we'd pick for the trade or so ready a couple of times before that so you're thinking he pops this in. All of a sudden the pressure's on united the one down. We've got a bit of belief something to hang on to and track it wide and it was quite comforting the best opportunity we had all day. I've got to take them and he's got to take them and he's young in terms of playing in the Premier League. He's gone after being more clinical on that. He's going to be a Premier League striker. You've got to hit the target. Keep a save if you save it but don't be tracking them wide big moments. What did you make a decision to actually start him because young lad you know again he's got his first goal few weeks ago with Chelsea. Up till Chelsea the manager had to stop using him. He came on against Sparge. I thought his hold up play was decent against Sparge. It looked like something he's been working on and it was like knowing you've just been taught something you really want to use it. He was like getting his back in and there was early signs of that on Saturday as well using holding the ball up. But it's just I find it incredible that a lad who started three games at Everton has been stand for bridge away and filled an old traffic and to be fair in all three games hasn't really done a tap and I don't mean that in a disparaging way. I just mean that the service to him. We get more opportunities at home which is where he would drive the crosses and everything away. What do you think the thinking is then of him starting up front? I don't know whether he thought he'd just be a target but he is. We know he's not a target. OK he won a couple of betters on Saturday which is not great in the air. I think maybe he's just shown something in training a little bit more positive and he's just a striker and we've seen him at Chelsea but come on at Chelsea. I want to see more of him. He's not ready but he come on at Chelsea when the game's slowing down a bit and he's used a bit of pacing. I don't know. It was a strange one because like you said three starts and the three starts and I'm filled. You know Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford. I mean the three of the most. I mean let's get it right. The Stamford Bridge was a very long time ago. No it was but it's still strange. If you're a young centre forward on the only three games you started for heaven football but those three games you know were you home. You'd be like any chance to just give me a home game where I'll get chances as well and then we can keep building. Maybe they just don't. I'm going to go out on a limb here and I'm going to be ultra positive about this. Something in the back of my head thinks it's because Dominic Arvallun is going to be ready for the next game and I think it was almost like this is the template. If we have him in this week then next week we can have Dominic Arvallun and it's going like for like almost. Do you think he'd start them now? I don't. I think he's got to start them. I don't think he's got no option now. I think for a player who's been out for over two months I think you've got to start them now or it might be a case of start LSMs against Fulham and then bring them on but have that like for likeness so you're not going from the Marey Gray to Dominic Arvallun. I'm sure on Saturday when he took Sims off it was over wasn't it? Maupai come on that was it. We didn't. We got no chance. Did Maupai come on? Apparently. Okay. And the manager said he did quite well. The manager's always positive. That's fair play to him. Fair play to him. But it just showed that we'd lost anything we did that when Sims were not. Not that Sims had done much but at least you're big and you're worried. As a defender that he'll be looking thinking got to watch this in the air or whatever. Even if he hasn't done anything old that he's still thinking he might get a chance or in their minds they're thinking stand for bridge we left him alone he's called. Maupai's not worrying anybody. But you're right though about playing LSMs at home because I think what LSMs is suffering from at the moment. I mean it's airing his everything career even though he's been around for a while. I think he suffers from that thing that Dominic Arblunox he took a while to get into. I can't understand why. And it's the fact of I think all players do this. It's that idea of belonging. It's the idea of getting over that. The fact that do you belong in a game. It's that idea of going. I think we saw this with Dom if we're going to use because I think he's a good example to use. It's that thing of going I belong here and I can start doing what I do naturally. There's a thing with young players where everything they've learned they sort of stop doing. They sort of think they have to play in a same way. If I get the ball I have to give it to you because you're a senior player. Instead of going I'm going to try my thing here because I think there's an element of being a little bit worried that they do their thing and it doesn't come off. One of the senior players is going to go why don't you give it to me. And I think there's a time when that little switch drops and I don't think he's there because I don't think he's played enough games. But I think it goes the other way as well where you're willing to just lean into a defender or you're willing to push somewhere about. That's it. But I think some players, some young players who are destined for the heights have that faith where they carry themselves. I don't think Sims is quite there yet. I don't think he's got that. I'll push people around. I'll get in McGuire's face. I'll get in the other fella's face. I'll show these that I'm a player. It's all a little bit too. I'll do my best. When you're not in the team and you're a younger player and you're getting into teams, you do go in with that. You carry that doubt as a certainty, as a fodar, remember? You're getting in and you're hoping that you want to score. That's your big thing. I want to score a goal to show these. And there is that thing of like, these are like experience. If someone's been left out for you and you come in and people are looking at you and all that, it's like, who's this? My place or whatever it's like on the pitch, give me the ball, let me do my thing. I think there is that. And there is the thing of, at first, you start just doing, you do change the way you play. You see it with so many players. The certain players, like Rhewni, when he comes through at 16, at the arrogance of God, give me the ball. I'll show you what I can do. Some players do have that, not everybody, but some players do have that. We've seen so many times players we've said it. Players get in and do something and then change the way they play. You've got in because you do that. Don't get in and then do something different because you think that's what we want. You see that with lots of things. You write the top, the ones who do kind of go to the top, and the ones who just get in and go, give me the ball or ask like Harland. Would have knocked on people out of the way when he's 18 and scored and turned 18. You see it with shape. Is that belief, or isn't it in a belief? He's not there. He looks like, he still looks like he's not sure if he belongs. By the way, I'm not having a go with him. That's just the fact that he's so isolated, that I think you need a little bit of that arm. You need a little bit of like, when the ball comes up to me, we've seen in the Chelsea what he did to cool the ball. It's that thing of like, I belong here and I'm going to have to do this on my own because these three and the three behind them are helping them. But don't forget at home. We'll have a lot of the play and we'll give him balls that he wants away. Certainly games like that, united. It was always a difficult game going into it. We'd lost the core. They're going for the top four, they're in them positions. I think every game they've led in, they've won. Things like when they scored a fit, wherever it was, they've won. So generally they're quite strong at home. We don't win there anyway. We've won one there and our record terrific against them. They've beaten us the same amount as Tottenham, now 39 times in the Premier League. Right, we're awful. So you know what kind of game. I've seen that game a million times at Old Trafford. We're better players. We're much better players. 2-0, we've beaten almost before we go out. We don't believe. That's fine to me. If everyone would have lost 2-0 but had a right good go on being in the game, you'd go okay. It didn't play out like that. We move on. In fact, to be honest, I almost said this in the aftermath and I thought no because people are taking that on me. 2-0 wasn't a bad result in the end. But we'll come on to that. But we'll get on to that, right? But as for L.Sims, at home, when we're doing the pushing, McNeill's throwing crosses in, he's the penalty box right here. And also the fans can give him the confidence. And the fans will help. So that's the games I want to see in the start. That is when United, every time they scored more goals than us, they've won the game. That's a good start. That's a good start. You can have that one. Yeah, it's a tough day for them. Well, I did say it in my aftermath because I have no issues. The three behind them, honest to God, why people keep hyping up those three players, I'll never know. Because I suppose we are creative players and the three of them don't do a tap. I have no issues. I'm not digging you out. I'm just saying, I have no issues. I always say it as I say it, those three, Jesus Christ, they offer nothing. You know when people, when times are tough, they offer nothing. Gray is a one trick pony, a woe be goes missing. And I felt slightly sorry for Dwight McNeill because he stuck out there on his own. But he's got no ability. He's got no ability. He's got no natural ability. He's got no natural ability. He's got no, he's got no, he's got what he gets from hard work. But the three of them, Jesus Christ, they're supposed to be our creativity. My problem is, it isn't work right over it. I said it a few times with them. They're all, I said it, I did say this on Saturday. I said, people are too protective over some players. Because you can say someone isn't good enough in your opinion to wherever you want to go without saying they're not terrible. The problem you've got is, and I did say this, you can cope with one of them in the team. For the simple reason that if you've got other goals. So what Dwight McNeill's brought lately is great crosses. And he's weighed in with the old goals, set pieces, crosses. No problem with that. He doesn't get enough in the story. But when you've got him, a woe be on the other side, you never score. Just doesn't score goals. And you've got the Marey Gray who is a winger but isn't consistent. Three of them are your supply line and we've got a young lad up front. You've got no goals there. What have we got? One off Sims, two off or three off McNeill. Three off Dwight McNeill. So that's four. We've got one off a woe be five and Gray's got four. So there's nine goals there from four players. Allen Harlan got his 31st goal of the season, 41st 30 Premier League goals of the week and now the different levels. But what I'm saying is, for evidence to be where we all want them to be, them from four have to be weighing in with 30 and 40 goals. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing. And they get away with it. They get away with it because people go, well let's look at the defence, the high line which we'll talk about in a moment or less. They get away with it. The three of them. Honestly, he doesn't frustrate me because I've never rated them. But he annoys me because people go, oh, he's got amongst the six. Well, of course he's got amongst the six. He's got amongst the six because no one else throws in. But he gets the ball and he just does a little amble and then he loses it or he plays a blind ball and then and then ambles around a bit more. McNeill does this. I can't have the three of them. The three of them to me. They don't do anything. The squad plays to me. That's all he has. The three of them are squad players. If you had goals and all in the day was subbed, so one of them is in, you'd go, I've got, I'll be honest, right? I will defend the Marey Grae. Right? And the reason why I'll defend them is he cost us one and a half million quid. For one and a half million quid, if you had one and a half million, you wouldn't get the Marey Grae. He's got, he's the one who's got the ability to bring one in for 25. I know, great, McNeill done it to me, but what I mean is he'll shift it in or he'll create something. The problem with him is he does things like blindly. It's like, I hope he does the same to be honest. They get into good zones and they don't think about putting it into, they stop it. Grae runs and you go on, go on mate, run it and he runs and he stops and he tries to run again and he's like, good defenders know what you're going to do, mix it up. He'll have a shot. The woman he went down for the penalty alright, it was a push by McGuire and other teams probably wouldn't get it, well he wouldn't get it if you were brightening. Other teams might have got a penalty there but he would have been a soft one. McGuire did shove him but he had the opportunity to just hit the first tap and he didn't drag it onto where McGuire was going. They had big moments, a Wobby, he runs up and down but he goes through games because he pretends where a Wobby. He just pretends, he's been doing it since he's been at heaven, bar running around a little bit in the last year. I just think we can't, for me, we just the three of them in the scene. No it's the three of them, the three of them, I'm not isolating them and go, the three of them are supposed to be the players who create opportunities for our forward and they don't, there's no joined up thinking in anything they do, there's no patterns of play, it just frustrates me. Anyway, I mean, let's, again we talked about the forward line but the defensive side of things was just, what was mad was right, so we were playing this weird high line which I don't understand why we were doing it, I don't know whether the players were attracted to go forward and maybe the manager had been. Cos what happens, what can happen in a game of football of course is you're told to do something and the opposition almost attract you to come out and then because it's their play. So we don't know whether the play was to play a high line, I don't know why you play a high line with James Coleman, Michael Keane and James Tarkowski, that would seem strange. But the weird thing about it was, they were targeting our fastest player because his positional sense is so poor that that's who they were going for. Every time Fernandez getting the ball out of his feet, Anthony over the top and down again on the backside of Ben Godfrey and I mean to be fair for the amount of times that way Ben Godfrey got himself out of trouble about half of those times through his pace. But the positional sense of Ben Godfrey, we spoke about this loads of times and I know this sort of thing of like, should it be him or should it be Nicol Ngo? Oh God, what were we doing? What were we doing there with that high line? The one where he jumped on his feet with like that in midair and you just know you're in trouble there. You know what he was doing. I honestly don't know, Michael Keane got done after like five minutes of the strike ball all over the thing. He was terrible at the weekend and now he's almost the goal of the game. But all of them, all of them, they're showing how did you hold your breath man. It's hard because he's done it after Ashford and I'm thinking he's going to put a tackle in and he's going to be out. I think he's got more of a brain. But I don't know because I don't know, it can have been a ploy, it can have been from Dites. He's a dead experienced man and he knows how to shut teams down. They can't have sat there all weekend on. I know what we'll do, we'll squeeze them. You can't squeeze them when they run as a lightning. And you're not pressing the ball. And you're not pressing the ball. So there was a breakdown in communicating because the idea was go and press the ball fast then and don't let them out and then we'll squeeze it. Or it should have been right, we'll sit on the edge of our box and don't give any space. I think that should have been the ploy because we got done a good of a son twice and then they had the third one disallowed. Basically the same thing, always getting dragged up the field, getting attracted to the play and then playing it round the side. When I was scored on one and you got the third, that was disallowed because it popped up on his hand. But we got pulled out there and I just think, I can't have sat there just thinking. You've got to ask, why? You're surely Michael Keane and Tarkos, you've got to look at the situation and go lad. Just sit here, poke on a deep. And you're more likely to get through a game against Manchester United is if you sit on the edge of the box and say break us down. They're a good side but they do play on the count of that, that's what they strength is. And the one, like you've just said, the one with Michael Keane early on, getting caught out. And it fluctuates with this and Ben Godford has done the same thing. Players, when the ball's in the air, making decisions and not seeing. Surely if you see a ball in the air, you should just go that way. If you aren't going to go bang and back in, the minute you're stretching some like Rashford's off your shoulder, surely the first decision should be run that way and then deal with it. If you get to the ball and you've got to beat you, that's poor defending straight off the bat ball. One of them there has got a lot of experience in that back line there. One of them surely has got to say to the other ones or to the manager, what should we do here? Because that warning from Keane should have been the one where they've gone, lad's dropped ten yards, pulled Garner in with us, pulled Onara and then we've got a little bit of pace in front of them. And if you've got a sit, because this is what I couldn't quite understand. You go to Old Trafford, you're in the situation we're in. A point would be brilliant just because every point at the moment is huge. Are you going to sit in for a point or are you really going to have a go? Are we really having a go against these today? And we didn't do either. We didn't do either. So if we'd gone there and had the right go and played the high line and we're getting balls into the box and we're getting shots on, it is a proper two off front and it's not a floater playing the number ten. Then you go and you get beat, you go, well we had the go, lad's. We didn't do anything, we didn't do anything. And that's what annoys me. The last few games obviously we've been playing well and we've stayed in games. Saty was just like it all just come tumbling down. And again as I said before it reminded me of Anfield. It's what frustrated me of Anfield. It's like there was an opportunity to sit in and do well and we just made stupid kamikazi mistakes. You know, let's be honest though, right? But let's be honest with where we are because players do do that. These players do do that. A lot of concentration there was a huge in football. Decision making is huge. Everton players have got the attributes to be the same as teams up on the top half. It's not the highest top half but like halfway up. And yeah poor decision making all season. And for a couple of seasons with some of these players is the reason why but where we are. It would be dead interesting to, and you'd never know this but it would have been dead interesting to just say to Sihan that he's like what was the game plan? What was it? Because that didn't look like Everton out there under you. That looked like Frank Lampard. Everton where it's a bit. And ironically we actually played better than the FA Cup game there and I thought the FA Cup game there. We looked like a team that was just trying to stay in the game. At the time when we ended up did stay in the game and again and we just caught away from 2-3. We were the offside of that game and we were pressing putting them under pressure. Saturday was just a bit of it. And it might have just been because the court was out and they tried something if I don't work but decision making there was one in the second half when it was, I think it was 1-0 and we broke. And we ended, I think it was a wobby. We've got a chance of a party just, he doesn't even look, he just plays it and they break on us and it's like we were in then. If you'd have played the right ball, we were on the edge of the box, he just blind passes and the next minute we're under pressure. It's that kind of stuff but the defending in the first half was atrocious. If we'd have just sat and gone, we'll sit on the edge of the box, we'll have the two holding midfielders right in front of us. So we've almost got six back. That allows the front four as a diamond to maybe play on a counter attack but at least we've got a lot of cover. The irony was that after all the breakaways and the one-on-ones and stuff, the goal comes on the edge of the area. At the edge of the area just, we've had three or four opportunities. Four, fifty, fifty. To win it and just put your foot through it and they're not winning it. They're probably most terrified of giving a free kick away and Scott MacTomley, I think he gets on the ball, gives it and then makes a run. O'n arna, he's asleep. He's ball watching, no concentration because the ball has been pinging. You see this all the time, when a ball gets pinging about a lot, the concentration of some players, they lose it. Tom MacTomley finds runs into the box, the ball is playing, so he smashes it. And there's nothing Pickford can do about it. And you won the O'n arna and it did feel like game over because it didn't feel like... I didn't feel like it was game over because of the other games thinking we might have a bit more of Baras. We've given up so many chances by that time. You looked at the way we were playing and the two midfield, Garner was having to put loads of fires out on Arna. Never really got himself into the game. Again, playing in a two. I found that very strange again, playing him in a two and I think he needs to play in a three because I think he's miles off. The left-pack position is all over the place and you go one-nil down and you just think, well, that's no less than they deserve when you've got a mountain to climb. We had a game of basketball in the first half with them. It was end to end. The problem was we had a decision making and the final third was awful. We got in, we won the ball and we broke quickly. The amount of times you played the wrong pass when we were on a break. We were on a rush again for them friends. But that kind of thing, and it's like, if you'd have made a better decision, or had a goat McNeill, there was one early on. The whole thing opened up for him to shoot. Kept the hold of it too long. We had one, the whole place opened up. He ended up waiting, waiting and passing it. The fact he ended up playing a good ball through to go off and he got a corner off it. But there was an opportunity to get out your feet and shoot. And that old traffic you have to do that. You've got to make them feel like they're under pressure and he just didn't. He deserved the win. He deserved the win but he deserved the lead at that stage. But the 450s, the two, one from Tarkovsky and one from McNeill was poor. They both should have won the ball and both went in half fast. And you might be right, you might have been thinking, don't give a free kick away, but you've got to win the ball. You've got to win the ball and then you go to sleep and Tom will be finished. Of course, you know, before the game. Doesn't score for United. Script just written it. But it was a good goal from their perspective and wanting to climb them among them. Yeah, yeah, we obviously got it in half time. The manager brought Ben Godfrey off, replaced him with Michael Lenco. I don't know, I think we've never caught up again. No, we weren't, because obviously Michael Lenco's a defender and his positional play is obviously going to be much better because he knows the position, except for weeks. Ben Godfrey is in the team for his pace and his power. Do you think Michael Lenco will be back in against Flock? I don't know, I don't know, because I just think Man United had could exploit it because of Fernandez's passing ability, I think they could exploit it. They've obviously, the weakness is there. It's not like, listen, I don't like Michael Lenco, I don't think he's anywhere near good enough and I understand Ben Godfrey's never going to be ever left back. I understand Ben Godfrey was in the team because of that power and that pace. I don't myself fire at trouble. I just think that it was getting exploited far too many times and he just wasn't leaning. It brings Michael Lenco on, you won, they'll bam. And obviously he's looking at the situation and saying, never let that happen again. And that's fine, you get that. You can see that because he's a defender, he understands how to play the position so that's why he's come on. And it didn't happen again because he knows where to be. But also on the flip side, he's never got up the pitch. He's talking to Pro Ox about him and he hasn't got that pace either so you've traded one. You haven't traded anything out really because Ben Godfrey was offering nothing. But you've got to stay in the game, haven't you? So fair play. You bring him in and he does his job. You've got to stay in the game. And we did stay in the game, didn't we? We give us, I suppose, it didn't get much, it didn't get really any better. But we did stay in the game. We did stay in the game. We did start defending a little bit better. We weren't being as reckless. We were giving up less chances and it was just, I suppose in the second half, it started shooting from outside the box as well. But it became that thing of like, that's how we should have started the game and maybe frustrated them and not let them get in behind us. And we've seen what happens if you stay in games of football. Peter and Alton, almost like it did at Chelsea, starts Peter and Alton where the home team don't feel like they need to go forward. And then that just, a couple of things can fresh in the game, couldn't it? And obviously we made the subs on the hour on hour and Ghana going off and bringing Ghana and Tom Davis on. And again, it's those moments, isn't it? You're looking to see if you can fresh in the room, if you can change anything. I don't think it made, it changed anything negatively. It didn't really get us going either. Sadly, I mean, Mo Pines were coming on as well. It was just a day where we offered nothing. We were just, had nothing up front, no real uppers. I think we had one in the second half where I think the ball got played from right to left but again, there's no real conviction, there's no real, there's nothing really there, where anyone really feels like they're going to score since I had no more real opportunities. We had a couple of corners with me which tack off together, and they didn't need that looped up. We just never got going. We never got going. Again on Saturday it just showed me and it doesn't take anyone. It's not clever about it, but it just showed how short we are in the final third. We had no options off the bench and we had nothing on the pitch. The only other opportunity was in the first half on another decent opportunity with the header off the free kick. I think if that lands on tack off, they're going to make it. They're going to make it to keep away. We only had one on Saturday which was Sheamus Collins one. It would have been a goal probably. We hit it well, but it was straighter the higher and he shaved it. Again, like I said, there's nothing new. Frank Lampard team suffered with this as well. There's just nothing in the final third. Sheenir against Spars on Monday night, the amount of time we got into good areas. There's nothing. People can talk to those three players all they want. The reality is they're not good enough. Like I said, the squad players, but we need faith in players who have got something about them to open the team up. We couldn't. We made a mistake. The killer goal comes from a mistake, isn't it? Again, there's nothing, is it? Sheamus almost tried to trap it. He's that clear. He goes to trap it. The ball goes under his foot and Rashford is there and the flashball will get those. What he always does, which is score against Devin. I thought Sheamus had a good game to that point as well. He had a good game, very competitive. I don't know why he didn't volley a clear. Doesn't have that full salar in the derby last year. It's clear. The concentration, isn't it? The concentration in those moments. I felt sorry for him because I don't think he deserved that. He ends up getting injured. He's already getting beat anyway. It wasn't like it was nil-nil and he done it. You never know the year at one. You start throwing everything at them and putting them under pressure. Listen, old Trafford, after 75 minutes, people have got planes to catch. Honestly, they do. I'll be quiet. Quiet and stand a little bit and there's an opportunity, but a mistake like that just puts the cherry on the game. Sheamus sadly gets an injury as well. Who knows? Who knows? You know, he knew straight away and who knows whether that's going to keep him out. Patterson is back, of course, but Sheamus has been great of late. He's real sort of pushing us through as the captain and stuff, but... Yeah, it was just... I was really... I know people go, you're going to... I was just disappointed in the performance. I just think at this stage of the season with everything going on and people are watching through gritty teeth all weekend looking at the results and watching as you drop into the bottom three and then you go back out of it and people are watching and there's... I just want... We've talked about it lots of times. It's a consistency of a performance and it wasn't there. It wasn't there and I think... We've got two games now before the call comes back. It's a big all to fill. You're just really open but with the noises that we're making on Friday about Dom and the Carvel doing which I thought was massively strange as well. Day before the game when you become like YouTube videos of Dom up training I thought it was... I thought on... I said this to Joe when he was in last week, but... I thought he knew that he was back training by the digest response when he said I won't ask you about Dom because he's injured and he didn't... like he would have gone, and he didn't. He just sort of... And I thought, is he training again? When he put them videos off I was thinking he can't possibly be on the bench. And he wasn't. But this week if he has a good week he'll be back in the squad. I think you're right. The results will come and go at this day. You're seeing it with every team and Liverpool away was... Dabi, we don't need to do well. Arsenal away was a tough one to expect. But you're looking and going just put the performance in. But what they've done they seem to have done is bounce back from games like that which is all right. We have got Saturday was always a huge game and it is a huge game. One thing I'd just come back to Dom one thing that was interesting though was in the press conference afterwards Dys tight to make a joke about Dom. I think the Lypo winner said I can't joke about this. He's close or whatever he said. He's realised I can't joke about this. Can I? This is actually really important. I don't mind. He always tries to throw a little joke out. Sometimes I don't think it's useless. I appreciate it. But I think some of it is one line. I'm not going to laugh with you. But you'd either think that one. We're all past the point where we need our sense of thought. If you've got like eight midfielders one of your midfielders fine but we can't joke about that. No one's going to go home and chuckle about that one mate after he's just been beaten soon. Obviously the most important play for Evan in the game was Jordan Pickford. In a weekend again where the England debates come off. People sort of in the media forget without Jordan Pickford on. Saddie could have been about 7-0. When you look at the goal difference and how important it is and nice to see leaders take a hammer in yesterday. It was absolutely huge. Let's have a look at Jordan Pickford's numbers. Nine saves. Saves in the box. Saves in the box. Saves in the box. Saves in the box. Eight punches one. I claims one. Long balls 13. Long balls 13. Out of 26 is it? 26 probably. So it's 50%. But he had to be honest didn't he? He was excellent at the weekend. I sometimes have questioned him lately. I think he dipped a little bit in some things but in general very good and he's been very good for a few seasons. England debates nonsense. He's better than Ramsdale. There's not even a discussion for me. Neither of them are amazing. But he's a better goal. He's England goalkeeper in the story. And Saturday proved he kept the score down. Not anything to do with either goal. Obviously one's whacked past from close range and the other one's the same in the second half of the lad's on his own and he's got a guess almost. And he didn't really deserve that. He played very well and made big saves when he needed to. It's frustrating because in a performance like that he'd win us a point or something like that when he's played that well. But he's done something which in a game I've ever lost he's made a huge contribution because like you just said can't be getting B5s and 6s at this and it could have easily beaten that. So if your goalie's making eight saves inside the box then you could be on the end of a five. So I mean I've seen the easiest goalie yesterday so unbelievable goals that he should be saving and it's the similar thing. Like that is that you keepers have to come up in big moments. We've seen West Ham's goalie the other night all over the place. So you need your goalies at times with the goal difference. And you need them in good form for other games as well. You need that level of consistency and I think that's what pretty much he's shown at the moment isn't he? I think in the first half Manchester United had more shots on the other team in this season in the Premier League it was ridiculous. Ridiculous how open we were it was just absolutely ridiculous. 29 attempts to hold it. It was shocking and then we didn't lay a glove on them which makes it even worse and I think that says everything about the performance but it's in it's gone now it was you know that was our we've got games in front of us now we don't necessarily look easy but you look at them thinking we've got a chance in that one. If you think about it that's not twice Liverpool, Man United, Chelsea Tottenham in all these games so far so to be where we are which isn't, you dragged me out of a hole and I was just like this is game but to be not in the bottom three considering we've had all of those games and we've just lost the game at the weekend you've got a look now and go we need at least four points in the next two, you know full on my own palace away and new castle at home listen, new castle are going really well at the moment but they're not unbeatable it's Brentford Brentford are much better than Evan because they've got a reason that's a big game for us and it's a huge game it's a huge game for them as well but we've got to be looking at these games and going certainly the next two full on my own with no myths of it that's the big one and then palace away they've had a couple of good wins fair play to them but by then they might have won again at the weekend and then by the time we played them there are a bit more this is it now you've got city at home and I'm brighting away there are the tricky ones and obviously people look at the new castle game as well this is it now, this is the running this is what we've got in those plays that you know, just mentioned there they've all got to start showing something they've all got to start we're going to need goals off all of that they're all going to have to chip in with the six throw goals a woe be gyreu, mychnil Sims, all of the above awn ane they're all going to have to come up with goals because we don't have one who we can go give in the ball and listen, I think that I'm going to Calvert Living because that's what we need that's what we need you've got to do it let's have a look at the stats from the game 29 shots from Manchester United 15 to Evan 11 shots on target 7 big chances from Manchester United Jesus, one for Evan obviously the L of Sims chance 64% possession 36 for Evan, just two below the sweet spot not great not great being a 10 from a weighty and one on target in a game where we didn't really create anything shows we were shooting from areas you weren't going to score from but I don't mind that but it's the performance levels and we can't got eight games left now and we've got to manage this section of the season this is it, now it's bit you know, pallousite we're going to have to one pallousite to win every game that's it, they won yesterday he was like, well they're free go and beat everyone now West Amherth just had a huge win as well we both thought West Amherth would be alright anyway they're still not out of it by the way so you know pallous we've got to want them to win a lot of their games because the playing team's around us and we've almost got to go right we're in a battle with Fulham but I've had another unbelievable one another game of football Lester is struggling it looks like he's going in there for an interim job so we've just got to you know, we've got to drag all the teams at least Frank Lampard when he's done us a favour haven't he still haven't managed it there you go, there you go big eight games, there you go right we're going to continue this on toffeeTV premiere we are live so if you're watching us now, get your questions in or your comments or whatever you feel get them in and we'll have a chat about them if you're not a toffeeTV premiere member why aren't you? why aren't you? come and join us the link is in the description and the QR code will be coming up on the screen in a moment see you later
