 Welcome to Toffy TV, this is the mat reaction to Everton One Huddersfield Town One. There's 90 minutes I'm never getting back. It was a really, really poor game of football. I thought the first half was alright. I thought Everton played quite well in the first half. Well Everton were okay in the first half. I thought the second half was horrendous. A horrendous game of football. The team, obviously Marco Silver's hands were tied a little bit in terms of replayed on the left. He went with Dominic Calvert-Lewin. He was rewarded for a couple of goals in midweek against Rotherham. Obviously Lucas Diney had been very, very good in midweek, kept his place over Leighton Baines. We started off okay. Obviously Garnham, Misson, Davies and Snidelam were in the middle. I thought we had total control of the game, which we did. The stats flashed up on the scoreboard after about 15-20 minutes and it was 70% possession. David Huddersfield were happy just to kick the ball anyway. You know, which is their prerogative, I suppose, isn't it? But you know, I wouldn't want to watch that kind of. I don't even think Sam Allardice's football was as bad as this. But they are limited, which is fair enough. They have to do what they have to do. But I think the referee has got a responsibility in this to not allow teams to get away with it. He was a terrible referee all day, let's be honest. He's an absolute fool. Any referee that allows a goal that goes wide and thinks it went in years ago. He gives it his embarrassing for me and he's never ever gone any better. He's horrendous. He was terrible today and he allowed Huddersfield to execute a game plan of breaking the game up as much as possible. Wasting time from the third, fourth minute and never jumped on it. It shows really poor officiating. That being said, Huddersfield, it's their prerogative to try and do that and Everton have to try and break them down. And we didn't. We were very, very poor. We were so slow in the final third, which is something we haven't seen too much of since Mark O'Shilder coming. We've been quite quick in our transitions and trying to attack teams and putting teams on their back foot. We just didn't do it enough. I think had we done it, I think we'd have won the game comfortably. As it was, we allowed them to edge further up the pitch. They got a corner. Some poor defending off a long throw resulted in them getting a corner. Corner comes in, it's flicked on and billings in the middle to just nod it into an empty net. Now, people can blame Zonal and Mona Zonal. And every time you can see it off, I said peace people are going to bring up Zonal. But Zonal, man for man, area marking as well. Just picking up the nearest man in your area. All three of those types of defendants said please mean absolutely nothing if you don't react to what's in front of you. And Everton's quite simply don't react to what's in front of them. I haven't watched the goal again. I've seen it at the match. I've seen it on the board. I've seen a lad being able to just flick it either on and someone being unmarked in the middle. So, you know, we've seen it last week at Bournemouth. Really, really poor reactions by Everton players. Obviously, I'll have to look at this closely again, but from what I can remember and what I've seen on the board, people just don't react to things. And it happened the other night against Rotherham and it's happened today. The good thing was we hit back almost straight away. A lovely bit of play by Lucas Dean. Whipped in across and a great header by Dominic Calvert-Lewan. Getting across from three head, a good header at the goalkeeper into the net and one one. And it's like, right, let's wake up now and let's get at them. And then we put them under a little bit of pressure till halftime. We had a good little counterattack right on halftime. Sheamus Gorman does great. We're into the box and the referee blows the whistle for halftime, which was just one of a number of bizarre decisions he gave all afternoon. I thought going in, halftime, I thought he'll get a little bit of a kick in here and he'll come out really fired up and ready to go. And it didn't really materialise. The ref allowed Huddersfield to waste more and more time in the second half. And we just never ever picked it up. They were dangerous, obviously, off set pieces. You thought it'd be Nick another one here. The truth is they didn't really cause us any problems, but looking at the stats there, you can see, they had, I think, six shots on target, well, six attempts on target. I can't remember anything other than Jordan Pick for catching things head. There's that looped up in the air and stuff. There was no real chances for them, but we've only hit the target once out of 11 attempts and that was Calverloon's goal. So, you know, if you can't hit the target once, more than once rather in a game, then you don't deserve to win the game. And we got what we deserved. I can't stand here and say, I didn't deserve to win that game and Huddersfield were lucky and all that because the truth of it is we weren't. We didn't deserve to win the game. One-one is right. They were poor, but they played within what their game plan is. They haven't got a ton of money to spend on players so that he gets the most out of them he can. I wouldn't necessarily want to watch that from the back and understand. And they've gone away to heaven and got a point, which a lot of teams don't do. It's a difficult place to come, because they've got themselves a point of fair play to them. From our point of view, it's very disappointing. This was a very, very, very winnable home game. For us, we were unable to do it. Yes, we can look and we can say. I think the loss of Walcott in the second half was massive for us, because we lost someone. Without Richard Jarlison on the other side, they're direct running and keen to get in round the back of them. And Walcott on the other side, they'd all disappeared. People have just been discussing Dominic Alderley, people who thought he had a good game. He didn't work hard, because he does don't. He puts everything into it. I just don't think he offered us much, but he's not a left winger. He's a centre forward, and maybe through the middle, he'd have offered more. Jeng Tolson didn't have a good game. To be honest, I care to me and Lucas Dean, and probably Morgan Snidlin had good games. Zoomer and Dean were the best two. Snidlin was probably that. And then the rest were bang average, and some were even poor. And then all the luck had come on, got a great reception. And then reminded everyone why he probably hadn't been included, because the amount of times he lost the ball by thinking he could run dribble through four men was just ridiculous. It was as bad a cameo as I've seen for a while. And he asked come on and done nothing. Without big players, we need Richard Jarlison back. We need Bernard available, because he's someone who can unlock games like that. We need Meener in there. We have to get Garner back in there because he's got more pace to get around a pitch. And when then players come back, and we get maybe Andrew Gomez in there, beef stats go up back up. And then it's about players' performance levels, basically. And those performance levels will go up. And we'll win more games, but today we didn't deserve to win. We got what we deserved, and we've gone into an international break. We're still unbeaten. We can look at it like that, but it's a very, very disappointing one-one draw today. That's it. That's my thoughts on a dismal day at Gouldersen. It's ended one-one. Let me know what you think in the comments section below. Check out Pet's instant match reaction. I'm going to do my three things in a moment. So look out for that as well. And see you soon on Toffy TV.
