 Welcome to toffee TV it is the start 11 show Brighton Hove album versus Everton 3 o'clock on Saturday the Amix Yeah tough game always a tough game, but you know what for the last couple of years We've had the better of Brighton and certainly last year what a win that was and if we can get anywhere near That kind of performance and that kind of scoreline We'd all be happy with me, but yeah, I take it I take a nice little two-nil win like the previous year Which just seems so long ago raffa bonita was in charge and that just seems so long ago, but Yeah, listen, we need the win. It hasn't been great for us the last couple of months or so But our way records. No, it's not bad. It's not bad. So Yeah positive. Let's be positive Don't pick within goal. Obviously Yeah Say it every week. Don't I? Yeah, just that's it. He's in goal and back for I'm gonna continue with Ben Godfrey at right back. I think the I Don't think he's done anything really to seem come out the side Good balance of power and pace and and and he's a decent defender It's not great going forward, but he does get forward But as we play really without You know our full backs really having to be creative. I really don't see what the the difference is Actually, I've been playing at right midfield Shameless is back into the squad now after an illness and the manager clearly doesn't really fancy Nathan Patterson so for me, I think he's I think he's Right to stay in the team again over at left back Tell me Lenco manager did mention that he had a bit of a knock, but I can't see him Stopping him from playing. Obviously, I see you can come in as left back But I just think if you know if he can play he'll play so for me It's telling me Lenco centre backs James Tarkowski Jared Brandt wait again Not gonna change that. It's not gonna mess around with that I thought both of them did well against Crystal Palace certainly You know Jared, sorry James Tarkowski had a hundred touches and I think Jared Brandt wait had around 75 touches and it showed How we use them which wasn't great for the team, but You know the manager does like those long diagonals Tarky was great in the air as well and Jared Brandt wait obviously It's so classy in the way plays and we've seen that recently. Well, we've seen that all seasons that to be honest, so those two continue and Back back for you know, we said that all season the back five really, you know Pretty much the goalkeeper the left back and the two centre backs have been in all season The right back position has changed a few times, but I suppose that's testament to what The manager is drilled into them that we've changed the right back a few times And it hasn't really upset the dynamic too much The manager obviously has his clear favourites and at the moment Ben Godfrey has come through to be the right back at the moment whether that'll change and don't know and Obviously if Seamus is available, but you want to get to the Seamus has been had a situation where he's been come back from injury and then and then got injured again So I think the manager likes probably likes the idea of someone being settled in there And that is Ben Godfrey. So that unit has been pretty good. I'll see anything. Is it the fourth best defensive record in the Premier League? and I think three of them are in the top four so or are the top three even I think so Defensively we've been bringing that's been the bedrock and can't really complain about that area too much So you have to keep that consistency going as long as possible Which we are into sentiment field again big decisions to be made here because plays Available and but I haven't watched what what we saw on Monday night. I think for me I have a clear clear picture of what I'd like to see in midfield For me on Arna has to play. I thought when he came on against Crystal Palace obviously scored And yes, he was involved when they scored he literally just come on the pitch But for me, he takes the ball off the defenders He takes the ball off the other other midfielders and he moves it so well and he takes it so well Good in the tackle as well good on set pieces at both ends of the pitch for us as well So I think he has to start every game. He's available for The manager. Yes, we'll probably say well, he wasn't a hundred percent for Monday, but and I hate this I Hate the idea. Sorry of us playing to Hold the midfielders because all that does to me is say this is said the centerbacks are just gonna play long balls down the pitch And I really don't want to see that. It's an option. You mix it up. Of course you do But for me, you've got to have the ability to play through midfield at times as well And and played different varieties Onanna didn't play when we played Brighton in in the The game of Goddison Park and we ended up having about 20% possession that day now. Would we have had more if onanna played? Yes Would it who knows how that would have altered the game? I don't know, but But just him taking the ball and using the way he does for me has to start And if that gives the manager headaches if that makes him have a difficult decision who he who he picks on So be it. That's his map. That's his job as the manager So for me he hundred percent has to start Because he is one of our best players alongside him. I'm going for a just a guy What I saw against Crystal Palace made me mind up saying he for this week I just think a just a guy for that position going and breaking Possession up of the opposition which will be needed massively against Brighton He's the best play we've got for it He's got all the experience and you can take him off after an hour and you can replace him on the James Garner He's the best one we've got it now as far as I'm concerned And you've got to use them as much as again as much as you can and then give him a break if he you know Let him take him off and bring James Garner and then Instead of both of them getting flogged at the same time replace one with the other one But for me it's a just a guy I think he's the better of the two For that job and really that's the that is the job when you've got all nine It's a move the ball you need the other play to be destructive and that's that's for me Is this a guy is the better out of the two ahead of them after like the court he's had time now He's had what did he have 70 minutes or so against Crystal Palace? He's had a chance to get back get himself back get a little bit more fitness real fitness Sean Dice. She's on the grass her fitness and Hopefully he uses that now Against against Brighton he is a major reason why we've been so good away from home scoring goals And of course he went off against barely a half-time and that was the last game we we won wasn't it in the Premier League so Hopefully he gets back to playing the way he was and it's a big Bonus for the plays around them that he can take the pressure off them score help us score goals and set from set pieces I mean real time So he a hundred percent starts on the right Jack Harrison for me has to play I thought we looked a hell of a lot brighter when he came on last week against Palace So he has to start you get all the work rate all the defensive sides of things And and he can whip a ball into the into the box, which we I think we have to start doing more and more I think we have to look at it and say to both wingers five crosses each half Please into the middle of the goal for the centre forward So we start on the right on the left Dwight McNeil Again, it's I don't think he's been I don't need been playing particularly well, but the set pieces are so dangerous. They are so so dangerous And again another assist on Monday night He had a great game against these last season So let's hope you can replicate that on on Saturday He was probably his best gaming evidentiary came came last season Away at the amix so if you can get anywhere near that that'll be really really important for us So he starts on the left and up front. It's Dominic Alvaluin. I know People want to see him out the side, but for me, I just don't think the side breaks the same Against policy one 17 or 20 headers. Now if that's the way you gotta you're gonna you're going to play Then for me, that's me Dominic Alvaluin. I know a lot of people say well Betel deserves a chance I've seen nothing from Betel coming off the bench yet to say he deserves a chance But of course there is the school of thought that Dom now because he hasn't scored the goals needs to be left out And I 100% get that 100% get that can't argue with that logic whatsoever But I think the way we play mixing her up playing Pick for playing long balls Tarkowski playing long balls, you need someone like Dom to win the majority of your headers And it won't be easy Brighton on a soft touch. He's also really good defensively from set pieces as well Brighton on a soft touch, you know dunk at the back is a big lad who wins a lot of headers and wins a lot of headers Offensively for them. I think he helped set up a goal last week against Sheffield United So you have for me you have Dom and then again, it's whether you bring Betel on or Chimiti on or both of them Or whatever laid on in the game But I think personally to Dom you might disagree that's fair enough and the manager might disagree but for me I think just the way we play and until we lay out to play a different way, which I don't know I don't think it's for coming under this manager. We have to keep playing down with a car and living so and Let me know your thoughts in the comments. That's my start 11. Let me know yours We'll know at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
