 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the match preview. Everton vs Fulham at Gotherson Park on Valentine's Day. How will we get round to watch this game, Bass? Would it be in Valentine's Day? Eh, I'll probably just sit down a five to seven and watch it. Stick on and tell you. Yeah, that shouldn't be any issue should that at all. Another home game obviously off the back of the Spades game and then ahead of the Manchester City game and ahead of the Derby away. This is a game that Everton have to win, should win, can't afford not to win. So, that's about it, isn't it, really? Yeah, yeah. You could say can't afford to lose. No, no, no, I think we can't afford not to win. No, we've got to win the game. It's as simple as that. Three home games we've had to win in the league, which is a waste run. Since January 2019, I think we've been four, which is a bismol for us. Teams there from bottom in the Premier League, averaging 0.77 goals again. So, we've only scored 17 goals in 2020, and two of them are against us. So, everything is in Everton's favour to do it. But as we've seen with Westam, Leeds, Newcastle games, we thought we'd win. Certainly Westam and Newcastle because we were on good runs. Leeds, we were in a great form and they were just mad at me. But certainly Westam and Newcastle were two home games. I think a lot of Blues went into home, yeah, beat these, and we lost both of them. So, we've got to really make sure we're on it from the first minute, because Fulham, listen, Fulham won't come to Godderson and sit back. No, they won't come and play five at the man and sit in. They've got players like Luchman, they've got Anguisher who are really like him in the field. He's a good player. They've got Bobby Reed called over. He scored a few goals and scored against us. I think he scored against Liverpool as well this season. So, they've got players you can hate you if you're not on it. Well, Scott Parker said himself, hasn't he? He said they've got to start winning games. They've got to start winning games. That might mean they have a bit more of a bolder approach, because they've been doing better, but they haven't been winning games. And I think for us we have to have that mentality of, from the first minute, full respect to them and we've got to go and beat them. I think we have that mindset, that professionalism. Then we should win. It's a big challenge, because I think the next two games take care of themselves. We'll be the underdogs in both of the next two games. Sit here home and Liverpool away. And I imagine it wouldn't surprise me if Everton played four centre backs across the back four in those two games. And Luchadine plays on the left of midfield, especially if there's any kind of doubt over Dominic Hall that they've been playing in those games well, obviously, with the Hansing injury show. I think this one is a different type of challenge, because it's a game that Everton will be expected to win. But then Newcastle turned up the other way. Hadn't won the nine games. Hadn't scored a goal or something and come and beat us too. I'm not taking it for granted. It's one that makes you go, you know, we should beat them and we should add too much for them. And if there was a crowd in goodness and I'd be very confident we'd beat them. But there isn't and we have to go out and do it anyway. And let's hope that the players are up for it. I mean, obviously, following on from the space game, there'll be, you know, a few tired legs out there after playing them in 20 minutes. But, you know, we should have enough within the squad, enough players to rotate enough players anyway, because, you know, I get in there. You've got extra days rest as well. There won't be a hell of a lot of training at the moment. You know, with all the matches going on, there's going to be going from game to game at the moment. It does settle down after the derby a little bit. Like Dave, then, isn't it? Yeah, after that. So we can't use that as an excuse. Yes, full and there'll be a little bit fresher, but there'll be working hard in training. And you've just got to look at it and think, not we're going to win, but we've got to do enough to win. We've got goals in the team, scored eight in the last two games. Ten in the last three. Yeah, we've got goals in the team. OK, we have to tighten up a little bit, because we can see the goals in the last couple of games as well. But, you know, for me, it's about having that right mindset and believing that if we... Got at that belief that if we're not 100% at it, full-on can beat us, because we can. Like it's like that in any family game. Sheffi and I took out all traffic the other week, United hadn't lost for ages. Sheffi and I took a bottom when we beat them three once. So, we are not. Carlo Antillotti said that after the Newcastle game, he said, we're a good side, but we are not good enough to not work hard. We haven't got the quality to just go, we'll turn up and win this. We haven't been at that level. When we battle and we scrap and we work, our quality shows through that and we win these games, when we turn up and go, we're too good for these. We don't even... We'll do whatever we want. We lose the game. We've proven that this season. Some of the games we've lost, arrogance has sat in, and I think that's been the difference between home games and away games. I think away from home, we kind of realise that we have to battle for everything, otherwise we won't get anything, and we've done that generally. There's been a big reaction since the Newcastle game, hasn't it? We went to Leeds, which was a tough game, and beat them. We then went to Old Trafford, and came back at 3-2, and got something. Spears was bizarre the other night. But we came out the right side of that result. You'd have to say prior to Newcastle, we were in Graffon, went to Wolves, and won. It's had goodersons been the issue. If ever to get into Europe this season, if ever... There's outside chance of getting in the Champions League. People will probably have a go at me for saying that, but there is a good chance if you won the games, and they're getting in there because they haven't been in Trafford. But there's a chance of getting in the Champions League. There's certainly a good chance of getting in the Europa League, where we want to be. We want to be in Europe, so minimally Europe will be great if it's the Champions League. But to do anything like that, you have to win these games. It's as simple as that. Full on will be coming. Their fans will be thinking, we could win there, because Newcastle did both. These are a good side, and we'll have to... So, for us, we've got to be expecting to win. And if we win, Sunday night we'll be having a magic 40 points as well. But that'll be... I think that'll set us up nicely for a big week and two games where we are going to be the underdogs. And that doesn't mean we can't get results of both games, but it'll be a different challenge. Those two games to walk full on will full on. The pressure, I think, will be on us. We haven't done great in the league. It could have come in the pressure, being honest, this season. No, that's something that... We were turning out like, you know, turning in the season round, but turning out not in the season round, but turning moments round that have happened in the season round, where you've thought, we're not going to do anything. You know, the FA Cup was a big thing for that where you're looking at it, thinking, oh, you know, went the way the score fluctuated. Can we be that team? We're never that team. We did it. We're getting over those moments. And, okay, the home record's not great, and it needs, if it was improved, and it was consistent with the away record, then we would get top four. And that's what's mad this season. If the home record was, like, normal, people would be talking about us winning the title. It's a simple fact. We're normally 11 home wins every season, normally, easily, and yet this team... Well, we have to let our home team be normal. Our quality is not shining through in our games because we're not playing with enough pace. Everything slows down. It allows the opposition to get men behind the ball and then they try and hit us on the counter the second we've been caught. And we have to find the happy medium. It's that weird thing in balance. It's that weird... And again, the space game was a perfect thing. You go five, but you can see four. Why? Because when we're almost left, when we're three to go forward, we suddenly become... Not open at the back, but we start conceding stupid corners and then we can see no set pieces, which we were in before. It's like things get thrown out the window. It's like that full concentration that you need to win games of football, to win trophies, whatever it is, to finish in European positions. It sort of goes... The United State goes a set piece, thrown in, and then keeps us slipped through. A new castle game, you can see. So that started to creep back in. So we have to work on it. The good thing will be, we've magnified the space game, three or four goals with my set play. So it's been magnified by that now. So I'm guessing, David Dantialotti, who has done excellent things offensively, done set plays now. They'll have to look at that and go, what can we do this week? We've just got to go out and show who's the better side. Quite clearly we are the better team. The league position tells you that. But these doesn't mean these haven't got some quality. They can get a goal from somewhere. They've got good plays in that team, and we have to make sure that we beat them, and then we move on. I wish Scott Parker all the best, because it's a nice little game full, a nice little away game as well, being there many a time. But for us, it's about time we started winning some home games. Because we've got City on the Wednesday, we've got to be full them. Pressure's really off for City then, because they're flying. But it's like, let's have a go with these now, let's keep playing that game. Pressure becomes very much different on that game. Of course it's a different thing, whereas if you drop points against the team you should win, to keep yourself battling for Europe it's like we've now got to get an unlikely win. That's the other side of it, isn't it? You've got to be winning every other game. Basically, haven't you? You've got to win every other game now in the running and we're looking up and thinking we could catch them, but then there's teams behind us looking at us going we could catch them. You only have to look at some like Southampton the way they dropped off. I know they've had a horrendous injury there, but they've dropped off and it shows that you drop off. So then you find yourself in the bottom half of the table. We've proven we're a good team. We're just wanting to go out there Sunday and play it again. For me, the big thing will be we get the first goal. We've got to play two home games and we haven't managed to do it. Newcastle, if we had took the lead, we'd have won the game in my opinion. Westam, I think if we had took the lead, we'd have won the game and we didn't do it lead at home and we haven't done it. Have you got some? The home team has won 23 of the 29 Premier League meetings between these two. We knew that. We've always been a little bit of a mad one. Everton are witnessing three Premier League home games last gone forward in a win in January 2019. Like I said, Carlo Ancelotti hasn't gone for home league games with that a win since 2007. I don't want to read that one. I really don't want to read that one and I don't want to read that one as well. No side, there's a few different scores done Fulham in the Premier League this season. Seven, excluding own goals. Cottage has also had the fewest scores in their last tough like campaign in 2019. Dominic Alvaloon, Premier League goals have been worth more points than any other player in the competition. With his 13 goals earning trophies 14 points this season. Seven of Hammers Rodriguez, eight Premier League goal involvement for Everton of coming home games. Four goals, three assists with his strike against United last time. I'm the only one to come away from home. Hopefully he'll be available. We know that he's doing his train but he decided to leave him off the spares and everything. Going on to that game of the weekend you've thrown up rotation but I'm sure Antelott you'll be thinking we should have Andre Gomez back we should have Hammers Rodriguez back we should have Alan back but obviously this is the question of Dominic Alvaloon but then Josh King comes into the squad now he was missing in the week and you've got obviously Retial with a couple of goals that boost him for me it's just about mentality we've got better players we're a better team but it's about what's up there and we haven't shown that in all the home games like you said Newcastle, West Ham Leeds those defeats we haven't shown it and when we have shown it we've beaten the likes of Chelsea the likes of Arsenal, Spares don't forget these when I'm on a list there they're on mugs so we've got to be right on there you go make sure you let us know in the comments what you think about this game what do you ever need to do to get the 3 points and full on fans if you're watching what are you expecting from this game make sure to give this video a like subscribe if you haven't already if you want more great videos exclusive videos videos earlier access to the discord forum daily live shows the law the price of a pint probably half a pint if you're from London and download last fan's stand and quiz app if you like quizzes as well ever no full on we're selling Payton at this corner moment there's a discount on all the gear as well there you go there's so many things on Payton the link is in the description and it's also on the screen see you later
