 Where do we start? Let's just start with the result. Estabilla 2. Everton Nail. Absolute... I don't want to curse. Absolutely shocking. By the way, hello patrons. Thanks for watching this. No, it's not time for the wolf either. So if anyone is thinking I'm going to all of a sudden have a transition into a wolf mask, it's not that. Because the simple fact is before the game, if Everton have been behind at half time, they have not won a game. It was 38 before today's game, yesterday's game, Friday's game, let's say that. And now it's 39. We go 1-0 down. And we don't come back. I wanted to shut it off. I almost felt like it was towards the end of Sam Allardyce's tenure two seasons ago. There were times that we went 1-0 down that I just turned off the game because I knew there was no way for us to come back because of the issues that we had either tactically, personnel-wise, and all that other stuff. But today, let me start with my day. Okay, I have to work today. So I woke up and I said, oh, it's going to be a good day. It's Friday, it's the end of the work week. Everton are playing today. Turned off all my notifications from all the apps so I wouldn't get any updates. Turned off my Instagram messages. All that good stuff went through my work. They all pumped up, all hyped. Going to get off. They went swimmingly. Everything was good. Nobody leaked the score. Nobody spoiled it for me. Got home, made myself a burger on the grill outside. Quarter pound patty. Okay, brioche bun, buffalo sauce, cheddar and Colby Jack cheese. And then to top it all off, I got naughty and put some jalapenos on it. Had some fries. Used fresh fry of grease for the fries. Had myself an ice cold beverage. Sat down, had the dogs with me. Ready to go. We're going top of the league. Just maybe for just 24 hours. But I get to look at the league table and go, ah, Everton, above Liverpool, above a whole bunch of other teams. Just for that, just to have the screenshot and just to say, hey, one time this season and so I sat down. Having a good time. Everything's going well. First 10 minutes, we do what we usually do. And the key to going away from home because our form is so poor. You don't want to go behind early. You want to start off on the front foot and that's what we did. Pasted it around. Luca and Bernard did their thing. Seamus and Richelison did their thing. But no end product. We just do it all half-assed, like, you know, it's just going to happen for us. Because there's no proof that it would ever happen for us. But we just think it's going to happen for us somehow. And then 15, 20 minutes in, you know, you start to see all this, you know, we're huffing and we're puffing and nothing's really coming over. Great move, great movement. And then you look at our defense, the spacing is correct. We're moving as a unit. Everything looks good and all of a sudden we start to notice that, well, Andre Gomez is having a pretty shite game. First touch is absolutely dreadful. Him and Schneiderlin seem to be when Astonville are actually pressing on and doing a little bit. There's too wide of a gap in the midfield between those two. Neither of them are really that mobile. Nobody seems to be closing down and doing all the work that Address-Ogonague did by himself last season, obviously. And that's just not what we can, you know, you just can't get through a game doing that. They've got Jack Grealish in there. That's quick. Alert player could pick a pass. Same with McGinn. You know, low center of gravity. Quick, running off players, getting into nice little pockets of space. We couldn't keep track of them. And then a series of events that... How do you say it? I guess epitomizes what the problem was with us this game and what seems to be like a juvenile... What's the correct word? Naive way of doing things. First of all, the ball comes into Bernard in the middle of the park. And I can't tell. I've looked back a whole bunch of times. Either his first touch is absolutely shocking for a player of his technical ability. Or he tries one of those things where you know, I played football, I'm sure some of these viewers play football, where you see the space, you kind of talk to do this, that you've got a player over here and a player over here and you're in the middle. You know, there's nobody coming back. So you play it off yourself. You're trying to give yourself some space. So it's like a heavy first touch, but like a controlled heavy first touch, if you know what I'm saying. And so if that would have come off, Bernard would have passed it in front of himself. Dominic Cobbett-Lewin was running on. Retalison was gone. You know that Luca Deans bombing down the left-hand side. And Sigmund said somewhere in there, probably in a pocket of space ready to do something. So what Bernard has to do is kick in front of him, look up, he's got 180 degrees, over the top, over the top and you get in the box, on the ground and you go in the box, a whole bunch of stuff kind of came from that. But the touch is way too heavy. And so you go, oh, okay, here, here, there, there, they're breaking. But not really because the player that gets fouled eventually has his back to goal, facing his own goalkeeper and there's not really anything on, but a touch back and maybe a lob up to the top, up to Wesley. But no, Andre Gomez comes crashing in, gives the foul away. A needless foul in my opinion. And then on top of that, so you know what's big. And then what most people do, what most players do, what most teams do, is when you get a free kick in that kind of position. It's not really that dangerous from a dead ball situation, but when it comes, you know, when you see the player hold his hand over the ball and he's got his foot behind it, you know something's about to happen. So in order to counteract that most of the time, you see lots of professional, high IQ players that are actually focused into what they're doing will tap the ball away or, you know, hover over the ball or, you know, pull their socks up, do their laces, do something to hold up the play to make sure that your defenders and your midfielders can kind of get back maybe five or ten yards and get kind of settled into a certain, you know, position. Distances are right and blocks are right. Everyone's marked up. But no, we don't do that. Gomez just slowly backs off. Lucadine's way over in the back here. He's in his position, obviously. Bernard's nowhere to really be seen. Well, him and Gomez are kind of just here hanging out and then bam, quick ball through. Behind the back of Gomez, in front of Bernard, their player comes running on. He's in acres of space to where, you know, it's not really ideal for Lucadine to come in. It's not really good for the centre-back. So he just keeps coming in and coming in and all of a sudden, Wesley is far over here and there's Seamus and there's Mina. And then there's a player just in here. And all of a sudden, or it might have been Keene, either way, there's a defender. So he runs away from those two, runs in front of a centre-back. Behind the other centre-back is a perfectly weighted ball. And then when it comes to what we want from Dominic Cavalero, and what you want in a number nine is the movement, is the quickness, is the alertness, and the timing of the run. All of that was perfect from Wesley. And the only place he could have really put that is so hard into the ground, into the far post, and bam, there you go. That's a Premier League centre-forward. That's what a Premier League centre-forward looks like. And Wesley, almost to me, is exactly the same type of player as Dominic Cavalero, except he has the clinical finishing. And so all of that, then we won no-down. And then you know we're not coming back. And then you know we're going to go plan a constantly down the outside. Seamus and you give it to him and he wants all the time in the world. And like I've said before, steamboat-siggy you know, turning needs all the time. By the time he turns, even if he gets the ball, it's obviously going back outside again because nobody is bursting and busting. You've got to get in front of him and get in there. So it's down the outside to Bernard. It's down the outside to Rich Ellison. It's crossed into the box and those defenders just eat that up all day long. Heading it out too close to the keeper. Heathens up, bam, you know. He's an international goalkeeper. So in you know, I've already lost all faith. My burger just doesn't taste good anymore. My beverage wasn't tasting good anymore. My dogs weren't even looking cute anymore. So it just all fell apart. Then we come out in the second half and we do exactly the same thing. You know, we dominate possession. We dominate on the corner kicks. Aston Villa didn't even have one corner kick in that game. And then, you know, we make substitutions. A Woby comes on, can comes on. They look sharp. They look up for it. We go to a 4-2-4, I guess, what it is. Yeah, this is more of a summary, a little reaction, but you know, gonna get it out. Gonna get it out. And then you know, we get a little bit, we get a chance. Ball comes in to the box. A Woby kind of, well, he cuts in, kind of scuffs it. Heaton was beaten, obviously. Comes back off the post. Their defender is the first one there because he was more anticipatory than our forward line checking out, which most of the time was last season, was what, how we conceded so many goals, and we can see lots of goals from set pieces. Pure blame, no marking, you know, but whatever it was. But that was the problem. The offensive team would hit the post, pick or repair it or something, but our defenders were always the second to react, and the opposition's forwards or you know, players were always the quickest to react and score a goal. We are the complete opposite. We are the slowest to react to a ball hitting the post, a hit in the air, to the goalkeeper parrying it, for the defender, you know, flubbing his lines or whatever it is. And then comes the moment. Knew it was going to happen. As soon as Charleson came off and Wally came on, you knew something was going to happen. Just like last week when Wally came on and, you know, just absolutely ripped his player apart. You know, Halavas already on the yellow card, he couldn't make the challenge, so Theodos comes in, whoop, round the corner, whoop, puts it in front of him, and bam, goes Ed, all the way in the back, completely pitiful cross. And then today, oh, you know, this is going to be on SportsCenter. You know, you don't know SportsCenter, it's kind of like the American sports show, it's always got top 10 highlights, or something that happened in the world of sports today. That's going to be on there. That's a howler, that's a sitter. I don't want to hear anything about, you know, he doesn't get minutes, so that's not what he's supposed to do. It's Theo Walker. He's been playing this game professionally for what, 12, 13 years or so. He's played at the highest level, he's played international football, he's played for Arsenal, played for Southampton, he's played in big, big games. How you don't score that, other than a lack of confidence, or a lack of something, you know, it's totally beyond me. And then, we just can see the second goal, because again, quick break, Keane gets out, so a ball comes in to the box, you know, from Grealish, he's gotten, you know, chose what he was going to do right away. He didn't door line, didn't take four, five, six touches and look up and see what was going to happen. Just bam, tries to find McGinn, Al-Ghazi is already in there, comes in, woop woop, Andre Gomez again, nowhere even close. Didn't even put a leg, I didn't even know that player was on his blind side obviously, I don't think it was his blind side, he just ran in front of him, and then it's 2-0, we're an embarrassment again, you know, and it's the same old things. We just don't take our chance, because the key stat obviously in that, besides the possession is 65% to 35% for us, and like I said, we had six corners, they had 0, but this tells the story all the time. 12 shots, 1 on target, to Villa, 7 shots, 3 on target, 2 goals. Why we can't shoot from outside the box, why we don't take a risk, why we don't try and take our players on and get inside the box and you know, force them to make a decision. The amount of times, like I said, I saw and listened to the commentator say Sigerson to Schneiderlin, I mean Gomez to Schneiderlin, Schneiderlin back to Gomez, Gomez out to Seamus, Seamus back to Keen, Keen out to Schneiderlin, Schneiderlin out to Dean, and then it just a constant flow, a little arc around the outside of it, no creativity, no darting runs, no anything, the offensive line is standing still waiting for something to happen, then getting back in perfect defensive formation, absolutely atrocious. So what now? I don't know what now. This is one of the games that it could have done so much for us, but our way form, absolutely shocking, creativity, woeful, taking risks and living on the edge and trying to do something you know, ambitious, absolutely not there. I don't know what to say, one of the positives I mean, looked good, I will be looked good. You know, we can pass the ball around beautifully, defensively our shape is amazing. I thought, you know, Pickford not really fought for any of those, but it's just the focus and all the lack of it, the lack of all the other stuff I just said, I'm just flustered, you know, there's just no reason for it. Well, there is a reason for it, but the reasons that are just predominant throughout last season and coming into this season but it is what it is. I've already said plenty of times, I'm not judging Marco Silva's viability to be the manager of this team until the summer transfer window is done at the start of next season and then I'm going to judge Marco Silva Marcel Brands, Machiri, the Direction of Everton, all that stuff at the end of next season. I'm not one of these people that overreacts and says Silva out our transfer policy was crap. Yeah, we should have sent it back. Yeah, we haven't replaced Ghana because that was clearly every state we were missing somebody like Ghana, because Ghana makes Gomez tick or makes him that he doesn't have to play that amount of time because the amount of times I also saw Gomez coming deep to pick up the ball, more than Morgan Schneiderling was just completely amazing to me, because why should Schneiderling play it higher up than Andre Gomez? You know, I didn't hear Schneiderling's name barely ever until, you know, for the first 10, 15, 20 minutes until he had that nice little sweep all over the top, played Coleman in, Coleman didn't lash at it, didn't play in front of the goalkeeper, didn't make him play it played it into the path of Dominic Cabaret-Lewin and what does Dominic Cabaret-Lewin do? This. This is what he does. You want to take a look at this with me? Okay, here we go. I'll blow it up for you. I'll blow up nice and big. Okay, let's get this right. Okay, Ian Wright, Didier Druckberg, Fernando Torres, Ronaldo, Messi, doesn't matter. Look at that, people. Just look at that and tell me what the problem is with that. Tell me what the problem is with that. You don't need to. I already know. That sums up what our number nine does. And yes, Dom loves the club. He's proud. There's a thousand positive things that we can say about Dominic Cabaret-Lewin as a person and as a player. But this this is a serious serious deadly issue that we need to address. Maybe we'll all have to link in them and Moise Ken comes in with that. I'm sorry. That is just unacceptable in so, so many different levels. And now my dad's texting me and getting on me about this. He supports Swindon Town, by the way. But you know what? Sorry. Sorry, move it on. Let's go. Move on. And why is it straight down the middle of the goal? Like I can cope with 10 20 different situations or players that would hold on. Oh, sorry. Dog started fighting. I guess I was talking a little too aggressively about this ship result from Everton. Anyway, so, yeah. So what? You got Ian Wright, got Dennis Burkamp. You've got Delia Dragba. You've got Net Van Nistoroy. You've got you pick up all the players. Harry Kane, Sergio, all these different players that you knew when Seamus Coleman put that ball into the box or any player would have put that into the box. That's 1-0. That's getting buried there. He's just going to put his laces through it into the ground. Bang! That's 1-0. Doesn't matter. He's already celebrating. You know how you score a goal sometimes? And we see players like you see the ball coming in. It's like and here it comes to Ian Wright and it's bang! Bottom goal. He's only got arms out already celebrating before the crowd's even seen the ball going before the crowd's even had time to react. You know, world-class players mess even out. Doesn't matter. I can probably name 150. Or I can probably name 1,878 players that would have finished that with a plum. But not on number nine. Nope. So, same things. Boring, pedantic one-dimensional football not creating enough chances not taking enough risk in the final third not being creative enough and not being alert enough not sensing danger in the middle of the park before it comes and k, fellow patrons I love you. See you next game. Bye.
