 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the start of the 11 show. Everton versus Tottenham Hotspur on Monday at Eccleston Park. It feels ages since we last played, and you know what, I used to think that would be a good thing, but I've actually been a little bit, you know, sitting and going, can't wait, can't wait to go to the match, which is very strange for me to be honest with you. I know where you like the breaks, but we are back. Everton have been unbeaten in the last three. Of course, the last game out we played Chelsea and we drew 2-2 with them at Stanford Bridge, and because of that, my team is going to look remarkably like that team. In goal, of course, Jordan Pickford gone away and played for England for a couple of games. Yeah, I don't know what I write. I don't know what I write, only conceded one goal against Italy, and has looked fine and obviously made some big saves in the last game out, so obviously he played in goal. A right back, Sheamus Coleman, who obviously has been away with Ireland as well, played against France, done really, really well against them, Bappy, and I think for me, Nathan Patterson has gone away with Scotland, he's played, you know, I think 15 minutes in each game, including that great win over Spain for Scotland, but I think the manager is going to want continuity. I think he's going to want the leadership and experience of Sheamus Coleman, and I think Sheamus Coleman has been brilliant since Sean Weisch came into the team, I really do, and I think it's up to Nathan Patterson to prove that he can get into the team, not automatically get into the team. That will mean coming off the bench, he will give us an option coming off the bench, something that we haven't had recently, that ability to come on. If the game, if we need something maybe going forward or, I don't know, there could be lots of different reasons, but it gives us just an extra person to come on, so I'm going to stick with Sheamus Coleman. A left back, this is an interesting one, because Ben Godfrey's been, he's been okay, he hasn't been amazing at left back. Michael Lenco, obviously came on towards the end of the Brentford game, and at the end of the Chelsea game, he played the ball up to the Corry. He played against England at Wembley, didn't think he fared particularly well in that game. Ben Godfrey helped, was part of giving the penalty way against Chelsea. But I'm going to stick with Ben Godfrey again, it's that continuity of the last few games, he's been part of those last three games. Listen, the manager might feel otherwise, but he might feel that with Michael Lenco being away. Again, coming back, maybe you wait till the next game, I don't know, but I'm going to stick with Ben Godfrey. I think his patience, his power, allow him to deal better with Premier League-Wiredmen. Michael Lenco was a better defender, I get that, and Ben Godfrey doesn't give you loads going forward, but I think if you're just trying to keep it tight, I think if you're relying on staying secure early on in games, giving you that platform to build on. I think his patience and power is massive, and I think for the manager, as I said, the last three games being undefeated, he will look at Ben Godfrey. But we'll have to wait and see what the manager thinks. At centre back, I'm going to go with Michael Keane and James Tarkowski. They've been alright. James Tarkowski, if you look at the numbers, has been kicking, tackling, intercepting, blocking everything, and Michael Keane's been doing the aerial stuff. And I think that's why Michael Keane's been putting the side. I think it's a case of he deals with everything in the air, and that allows Tarkowski to do everything else. I think with Conor Cody, your issue was he was trying to do a bit of everything as well as Tarkowski, and it wasn't really working, and because Conor Cody's not as good in the air as Michael Keane, he wasn't dealing with stuff as well. Ideally, I'd probably have Yeti Mina, but let's be honest, that ain't going to happen. The manager wants a partnership. He wants something that he can go for the rest of the season with. And that's either Tarkowski and Keane or Tarkowski and Cody. I don't think Mina's going to come into it unless there's real desperation. He's out of contact at the end of the season. The manager obviously knows his history of his injuries. He wants to build a side that can play weekend and week out, and I don't think Mina's going to be part of that. Mina, I still think, is our best defender, but the circumstances just mean that he ain't going to get in the team, so that's the defence. Into midfield, obviously, Adrissa Garner Gei comes in. He's been away on international duty, played his 100th game for Senegal, got a win while he was away. I've seen people talk about dropping him for James Garner. To me, it's great that James Garner's back, played again for England on 21, played 90 minutes, and they're two on defeat by Croatia. But Adrissa Garner Gei, I think, has been really good recently. I know he's had a few wobbles, and Arsenal obviously with the back pass, and he's done that in a couple of other games. But I think recently he's been really solid, and a real part of that, what's made that midfield work more on the dice than it did on the Frank Lampard. And I think it's this thing that we get into our heads sometimes, that we want to play it to play, or we can see the advantages of a certain player and another player without actually looking at who's in the team and what they're actually doing. I think Adrissa Garner Gei is a really important player in this team. The manager might change things up. He might say, a little bit like he did against Chelsea when we were two on behind. Take Adrissa Garner Gei off, may bring a James Garner on. That opens us up a little bit, gives us better possession. But for me, again, if you want to have that platform of winning a game of football, being solid trying to get a clean sheet. Cos, let's be honest, that's what we're, that's what we're working on, aren't we? The idea of keeping a clean sheet and then maybe nicking a goal. That's how we've, you know, we've won. Obviously, be Brentford doing that, beat Arsenal doing that. And that's what he'll be looking at today. So it's a dish that Garner gave for me starting there. I'm going to do on Garner in there as well when I played 90 minutes for Belgium, finished the game as the captain against Germany when they won 3-2. Again, being at some decent performances and some games where he's not terrible, but he's not in the game. Well, I think we need to start him being in the game a lot and grabbing games by the scruff of the neck. Again, big physical presence. There's nobody you can really take his place because of that. And within a three, I think he gets away with a lot of the stuff that he might get away with if he was in a two. But I think we need a little bit more from him, but I'm saying he's not looking to take him out the side at the moment. And then there also is Adelaide de Coray, who's obviously been scoring goals recently, making goals as well. His energy, his desire is really important. I think what's changed with the Coray in the side now, rather than when he was in the side under previous managers was, he's not asked to be on the ball as much, so he doesn't give the ball away as much. He's asked to stop the opposition and get in dangerous areas and support the striker. And when he does that, he looks at much better play, chips in with goals and assists, as we've seen. And that frees up the other midfielders to do their jobs as well. So, hopefully we see more of that and hopefully he gets a goal at home on Monday night. On the right, Alex O'Wobee. I wasn't really impressed with him against TLC, but I can understand how he works hard. I think, interesting he's done an interview in the last couple of weeks talking about having fans just as long as you work hard up back here. Well, that is true, Alex, but I would like to see a little bit more creativity out here. I'd love to see a goal from you. They've only scored one this season in the defeat of Manchester United. More assists, please. If you are as good as maybe you think you are, let's start seeing it. And on the other side, we've got Dwight McNeill, who's improved a lot under Sean Daish. Again, working hard is the most important thing. But he's been obviously contributing a little bit more with the assists. And the set pieces are really important as well. Let's get it right. His set pieces to the back post have been really a big part of how we've been scoring goals as well. So he's on the left. And up front, continuing with the Mardi Gras, I think has been the best so far for Evan under Sean Daish. Mo Pais, nowhere near good enough. Dominic Arvin-Lun, who knows. And Alex Sims, obviously, come on against Chelsea and scored the goal. But I still don't think he's anywhere near ready for starting games, because I don't think he's going to press for 18 minutes like the manager wants you to. I think the Mardi Gras understands that role now and is understanding it more and more. Let's get Alex Sims on the pitch earlier so we can do that. And let's build them up so that it maybe gets in a position where he can play start games. I don't think he's quite there. I know a lot of people again will be thinking, yeah, get on the pitch, just score the goal. It's the other side of it. It's the working hard. There's a one man up front. You've got to be able to do that. I don't think he's quite there and quite understands that. The Mardi Gras has been doing well in that role. So hopefully he continues and gets himself a goal. And then we do have the opportunity of them. Ella Sims, Patterson, Ghana, coming on. Who knows if Dominic will be involved? I can't imagine, but let's wait and see. There you go. That's my start on 11. If you have any thoughts in the comments, let me know who you'd have in, who you'd have out. Any differences, let me know. Give this video a like.
