 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the match preview. Chelsea versus Everton's Stamford Bridge. Two o'clock kick-off? Another two o'clock kick-off for Everton this weekend. Another tough game. Listen from Everton's point of view, it's 25 years and three months since we won at Stamford Bridge a 1-0 win. By poor right, that was a goal. My name is Llym Parcros, Jorioel's second game. And since then, we've had not too many opportunities to win. One major one. We've had near misses on a couple of them. We've had a few last late goals to the niest. But it'd be interesting because I think Chelsea are such a strange side. Some games they look really good and look really like they're in control. And others they look quite shaky. And I suppose that comes down to the fact of how their team is made up now. Lot of young players growing with Frank Lampard's style. And obviously we know ourselves. Young players go in and out of form. And what they've done is they've decided to obviously put some of the more senior players in there. Cante, William, Sherwood, Asela Quetter at the back, just to not fill the gaps. You know what I mean? They're the backbone of the side and the kids just fill it out. And the kids are growing and they're getting better and better. We've seen that. But I do think there is a chance for us to go down there and get something out of this game. I don't think they're brilliant. I think they're a good side, good individuals. But I don't think they're brilliant. And obviously we beat them a good of soon. And I think we can get something out of this game. Yeah, there are a little bit of a tickle in the hard side. That's some weeks they look like they're ready to kick on. And then they'll go and lose a game you don't expect them to or don't perform now. You know, they wouldn't go for me or a weekend. And they lost a Tottenham and lost their own T United in games that I would have expected them to do better. But then recently they've beaten obviously the Spades again in the league. But then Drew and then with Bournemouth. Drew Bournemouth, then they just beat Liverpool and the FA Cup. You know, so they're a side that they've got obviously outstanding individuals on the deck. If you've got players like Ross Barclay, we know, you know, it's good to go golf against Liverpool. And we know that he can be that threat when he runs with the ball he was for us. But he's up and down. Tami Eibraham has been, you know, started the season like a house on fire. But Drew's coming late to give them that focal point. Willian, he lost Willian through injury against Liverpool. So it looks like he's going to miss the game now. I've got a couple of injuries but he's actually ahead of the Everton game. We've still got classy players, you know, people like that. So it's going to be a very, very, very tough game. But you're right, it's a game now. I think the way Everton are playing and with the two lads we've got up front, we're into that, I feel anyway. And only results really make this a true thing. But it feels to me as though we've got a chance in every game now because of the two lads up front. Recently is that I think maybe as fans we look at games and if we go behind or whatever and think, oh I'm not sure or when it was 1-1 against Man United, I was a bit like, oh I can only see one team winning now. But we come out to second half when we were flying and we took it to them. Last half an hour at Arsenal. And I think it'd be similar on Sunday. I think it's interesting that I had something, I read something Carlo Anciotti said about Bernard, where he feels like he affects games better when we're in control. And I think in the last few games, I think what we've managed to do is keep ourselves in games and then I think in the last half an hour of games recently we've really become stronger. Now that might be because the likes of Arsenal and Man United have had Europa League games a few days before and they've played a few more games. But I think you can see the energy levels are higher. And I think having players like Bernard coming off the bench late on has helped us control games or keep making chances. Look at Wafford. We had 10 men and we still went for the win and won the game. With that, you know, Crystal Palace, we had a sticky little spell after Ben Techequillars and then we stepped up and took the game away from them so I think. You write what you're saying is that for whatever reason, whether it's just Carlo Anzillotti's back-rein team and Duncan have got the players' fitter and it's now benefiting us rather than they did in the first half of the season. Maybe that's what's happening. And the tactical nows as well of making the subs, making the changes. I mentioned the Bernard one because I thought that was really interesting of understanding what your player can bring, understanding that. Bernard is not a player maybe in away games for the first hour even though we don't want him to be in there. Where it's nip and talk, or even games like Man United at home, where it's nip and talk, no team's got firm control, but he believes that there will be a time in the game where we'll take over control and that'll be the time to bring him on. And that's understanding your players and that's understanding your squad. That's also understanding the game, how the game's going, or where you think the game's going. And when you've got all that experience, I think that's a massive thing. So I think it'll be the same on Sunday. I think Chelsea will come out and for the first part of the game being the home team, they'll try to set themselves on to us. And I think as long as we can stay in the game, you know what I mean? We don't do nothing stupid and concede a couple of silly goals back-to-back and we stay in that game and we're still in the second half. I can see what's happening in the last couple of games where the legs take over because we're only playing one game a week. The likes of the charlots and the likes of Dormu will run all day for you anyway. They'll start to carve out little chances. And I think that's where the game could be won if we can get to those stages of the game. Because Chelsea played last week in the Champions League, they played away, then they played in the FA Cup this week. They're playing in the Champions League the week after, but the point being is they've always got that focus on two games a week at the moment and that's going to keep you with one eye on what's going on. Of course I'm with the injuries, the picking up, because they are picking up with you injuries because of all the games. Willie and I think he's a fantastic player, and he was playing really well against Liverpool when he went off. If he is out and it looked the same as he is, then that would be a big plus for Evan because he is a danger to his player. I know he's got good young players, he brought me some mants on, he's a good player. Billy Gilmore, the kid in the first 18, he's shemped for being out of the shop for one opportunity. He looks like a good lad, he's only 18, so Lampard's doing that brilliantly really. In some respects, for Chelsea, the worry would be not for this game, but going forward, when they're able to just spend all the money again because they're creating a good vibe in the team and if that's then I'm done. They've signed it, it's having me for the summer show. As long as they don't go to the table, if they just do two or three, I think Lampard is putting them on. Yeah, I think they might just do that one or two then. They've obviously got to always be mindful of FFP and things like that as well. I think that midfield day is going to be the most important place again. When we played tomorrow home, Duncan came in, we went to 4-4-2, we played two up front and really that was the blueprint that helped kickstart our season and get us to where we are now. On that day, the sentiment field was really important and played really well. We just slide, we missed midfield out didn't we? We went a bit longer and Calderloo and roughed them up. That's what I'm saying, we got stuck in, we worked hard. It's changed slightly, there's not that same mentality in terms of, Calder wants to football the midfield to be a little bit better, let's just say, but I can imagine it being, again, Gomez in there this weekend of course and then again Tom Davis being in there, just being that player didn't get round the pitch. He might decide he wants Fabian Delph in there just to protect him, but then you look at Tom Davis, can he get round the pitch a little bit better? He's got to make that decision, he only will know it from me obviously from a football standpoint. Would you consider playing Delph on the left? No, I would never. Would you rather play in the left? Sigarton, Delph or a Wobby? Well I'd play a Wobby, I would never play Sigarton. See, but he obviously likes Sigarton. I know he does, but I'm just saying that. He clearly likes Sigarton. Sigarton for me would be best coming off the bench with 25 minutes to go because the game then has slowed down enough to be at his level. But he obviously feels like... Sigarton has got something to offer out there like you are getting the last of them by being out there and coming inside. I'd personally play a Wobby, but then again I'd be looking at Walcott this week and thinking he didn't do anything. I know he'd been injured, but he'd done nothing against Manchester. No he didn't, but with an extra week and he is in our ball, isn't he? He's going to be playing right back because Cullman's out. What I was thinking with the Delf thing is because it enables you to almost switch two or four, three, three. It's an extra body in midfield and Delf can mop up with being the left foot if Davies is trying to push on. But because we know he likes the two banks of four because it's harder to play through he said that himself. But he probably will go with more than less maybe the same team what started Bar Cullman. If Llywodrae Dean's fit, we don't know Leighton Bain's had an excellent game at the weekend. But again, that right-hand side is an issue as well because there's no Cullman so Sadibies are 100% playing it right back. So then you've got to make that decision. It's away from home. Are you going to be completely attacking which that would be? You're going to have to have a way with Sadibie and ask him to just... Well, Dave got Mark Owlansow who got two last week and he's coming into a little bit of form scored in the last home game against Spears a crack and goal was a real threat and he is a real threat. But Sadibies is quick and he's physically big as well so he could cope with that but Owlansow is a good player when he's on it. So we will have to be mindful of that on that side. My issue with Wolcott is just jogs back. It's not in his nature. That's what I'm saying. He's not like Retial or something, but Retial has some played there. Retial has some would work back and we don't want him doing that. We want him closest to the goal but what I mean is when Retial has some was on that right hand side we knew what we were getting in terms of working back and I think that's why everything for me was so strong at the end of last season because him and Coleman were playing really well because they were helping each other out. This season he hasn't been there he's been up front and Wolcott's been hitting miss and he's had the head injury and he came back and almost forgot what Theo Wolcott was and reinvented himself and then he's dropped off again lately and that is a key area for me but the problem is without him it's either Alex Orwobi playing not on his favourite side or it's Bernard who you've just said, the manager we're not going to be in control of this game certainly not at the start so it probably is only to Theo Wolcott or Alex Orwobi to make a big decision and that's where they're strong on that left hand side like you said that'll be a key thing but then again Wolcott offers an output like you said he's quick and direct and he scored a few goals against Chelsea for Arsenal, he's not done it for us but who knows I mean Chelsea are looking to keep a 15 sheet against Everton for the first time since 1935 so we're due a goal aren't we but winless in our last 24 Premier League games against Chelsea away lost 13 through 11 since we won in November 94 the leads were the only team who had a better record than us between 1951 and 2000 on one man, Looney Scudw in it obviously only Liverpool and City have won more Premier League points and since Carlham until after he took over which is, I mean these are all good things aren't they but only 38% of Chelsea's Premier League goals have been scored at home so that is yes that if you can't stay in the game with them that they're not as fluent at home we've seen teams like Southampton go there and win two now nobody rode the look and we left the ride I looked a bit on Sunday but it's been able to take them opportunities when they come along we went to Arsenal last time out on the AFF start first 10-15 minutes we were on top we looked a threat and then Arsenal got a couple of goals you're right in that game certainly the last half an hour it was one way traffic but we didn't take our chances that's what we have to do if it's to end of them like this that's it isn't it we're going to have to take that that's how you beat these teams you've got to take your chances I bet you went to Southampton to beat Chelsea 2-0 but you only had two or three chances to take them in the back of the net it's what happens it's what happens you've got to take your chances it's what happens Palace of Brighton it's what Liverpool are season and we've seen people have chances against them not take them and I think it was only last weekend that you actually finally seen a team take their chances after missing chances without Liverpool punishing them that's what the good teams do we see the good of them don't we when someone goes close and you get down what are you doing that's what the big teams do internally they go if someone has an opportunity how did that happen that's a let-off or even if they go behind that was your warning now we've got to go and play them so if we're to start beating these teams we have to be clinical that means creating more chances almost to miss more chances if you're only making two or three then you're leaving yourself with a lot to do there's a stat there we haven't kept the clean sheet in our last 13 away games only Villar have got a worse record so that's a big thing obviously you keep a clean sheet you're giving yourself a great chance of winning it and that's what we'd have to do like I said right at the start with Retialis and with Dominic Calvert-Lewin I feel like we've got goals the two of them are a threat you keep one quiet the other one comes up with a goal and then obviously you're hoping to get that this week but you don't know because we threw one-one but he's a real threat for us he had a great game against well two great games against three great games against Chelsea the last three times you played two clean sheets last year obviously three-one this year in the first game Chelsea wing back, Marcus Lonsow has been involved in six goals in just 769 minutes four goals and two assists so it's things like it's those kind of things against that we're going to have to look out for he's a fierce threat so like you said before the right hand side you've got to think about it they're better going forward than they are at defending I watched them last week second half against Bournemouth they really did create some chances against Bournemouth they had a lot of balls two stupid goals just got round the back of them and it was a goal so I think it's there to be taken and it's a big game obviously within this run of games we've got to just pick up more points we've got to get a couple of wins along the way if we're serious about getting into Europe otherwise it's going to be otherwise we're just going to have a few games maybe pick up a few points and then you're aligned and those last like five or six games we might have already missed the opportunity and it's how we kick on for next season as well and there's going to be a lot of pressure on Chelsea this weekend as well we missed a big opportunity last week in the last two weeks certainly a rational to end the silly run and get a big win away from home against one of the top six we've only beaten man United in God knows how many games 48 games or something against the top 16 to away from home and United at home we were robbed really at the end of that by VAR we should have won that one so this represents a chance to blow one of those stupid records out the way a bit of tough game but teams go away and win games it happens you share all the time what for they've just beat Liverpool 3-0 no one expected it and if you look at it like that and look at teams no one gave them a prey and they beat us 2-0 just out of blue and that was similar that they haven't had a lot of shots they didn't but they took the chances when they come along and that's what we've got to try and do try and get a clean sheet but it's something I've been saying recently a lot if we can't win it don't lose it because these are not that far away from us and try to take something out the game we'll tell you what if we win the game we are right in the mix then because then to another big game out the way we've got Liverpool to come at home now but we are right in the mix and what it would do confidence for everybody would really actually just kick on and it's to the people then to the people at the club, to the fans we can go to these teams and win get the three points when we need to it will be a tough game let us know your thoughts in the comments do you think this could be the
