 Rock on a toffee TV! It is the first final word of the season. I'm joined by Sarah Helpin. She's still alive. I'm still alive? Lot i ar y vastbwyyr. She's been... She's here! She's in! Marie, I'm talking to you Marie. I'm back! Just for you! She's real, she's real! Sy'r nil nil, crystal palace away, in a game that was very reminiscent of crystal palace away in April when the Shane Kitt and a nil nil draw then and a nil nil draw at the weekend. Before we get into it, what's your overall vibe after the game? What were your thoughts? Well, my vibe around the whole situation and everything going on at Everton is really positive right now. I think after the palace game, a little bit disappointed, a little bit frustrated, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I think first game of the season is always a strange one, always a difficult one. Obviously we've had some of the new players come in like a woby, I think it's going to be a big key player for us. I just wasn't able to play Fabian Delph, Mosa Ken as well, didn't start because we've just got him in. So I think we haven't got the team that we're going to see weak and weak out necessarily. We probably put the best out that we had at the time. It's not the end of the world, a point away at palace. Sellers parks are a very, very tough place to go. I think we were the better side. The stats will show that we created the better of the chances, the clearer of the chances, should have won the game. I think particularly that Guilfee Sigurdson chance in the first half. The more I see that, I think that was it. I think if we could have just broken down, got the first goal, I think we'd have gone on to... Because we did control the game, I thought, but again just didn't put the chances away. So wanted it to be free points of course, because I think we'd have all been bouncing off the walls then with the summer that we had. So it will do. Obviously going into the game, I knew Alex O'Wobee wasn't going to be available. I knew he probably wouldn't miss my cane. My mum was on the bench, no Delf because obviously the Indian. I think he's a big missed Delf, I really do. Particularly losing Ghana over the summer. And I suppose going into it, the fear was Wilfrid Zahar being on the bench for them, seeing him in the squad on Saturday and you're just thinking, don't evident this up please. But everything started again, I thought really well. Straight, the chance you just mentioned came after 75 seconds. When that ball dropped to Gilfee Sigurdson running on to it, I honestly just don't want it. Because I'll be honest, I wouldn't have wanted anybody else running on to that ball than Gilfee Sigurdson in the middle of the goal. And I still can't for the life of me, I must have watched it 30 times, understand why he tried to side foot it into the floor. I don't know why he didn't just put his foot through it and just hit the target. But I'm left corner at the target, the keeper's not got a chance, he was stranded. That was the moment and I think the more, even just talking about it then, I can physically see it in my head and it is frustrating. And as you just said, Gilfee Sigurdson, of everyone in that team, who do you want to run on to it than Gilfee Sigurdson. But maybe we put it down to, I hate the term and the saying when people say it was too early on in the game. But to be honest, that's all I can really put it down to is that it's just the first big opportunity, maybe even in his head you've got that excitement already about to put the team in front. And he just fluffed it and it's frustrating because I'd say had that one gone in so early on I think we'd have gone on to really control the game. I think he definitely would have settled us down and although I mean in all fairness we were the better side like you said, we were settled, we got back on it, we were passionate, thought André Gomez was good, he was on the ball switching the plate up Bernard and Luca Dean started really brightly. André Gomez was working hard as he always does but probably wasn't as effective as what the other two were on the other side and we had an opportunity, one with Bernard when he cut in brilliantly and I'm thinking just it and he didn't try the reverse ball to Luca Dean who stopped running I think because he thought he was going to shoot. Then we had the opportunity for Sheaimers Coleman where again it was good work by Bernard and he works it back Luca Dean into the cross and it breaks to Coleman and he's thinking 1-0 against 6 yards out. And he's shy footage straight at the keeper and then Calvert losing at it wide and he just started thinking then is it going to be one of them where we rude these opportunities because Palace let's be honest, they were struggling to get out their own half. Oh yeah, they didn't have much of the play at all, they didn't really create much I know towards the end of the game particularly Pickford went on to make a couple of really good saves. But certainly in the first half, it was all evident and as you just said then we had plenty of chances, Calvert losing probably could have done better with a couple, the headers, Guilfe Sigarton obviously missing his opportunities as well, Sheaimers Coleman. It's like I think those are the ones where you get that feeling and you just mentioned it then sometimes you get that feeling sometimes 20 minutes into a game where you just go, we're not going to score today. And like it doesn't matter for all the chances that you create and everything else, I think psychologically especially the new season everyone's like right let's just get the first goal under our belts and move forward. But it wasn't to be but generally like you know in terms of the play itself, I'm not too worried, I think we look at the transfer business that we did and I think it's fair to say that pretty unanimously Evertonians are thrilled. Of course there's still people that will have a grumble on that and I get the whole thing of we needed to sign a centre off. So what was a very very positive thing to see was the fact that we kept a clean sheet and if I could have picked a player before the game that I wanted to know would have a sound game. It would have been Jeri Mina because you know we didn't see too much from last season, he was of course a massive signing and we had the whole summer of last season. Is he going to sign isn't he? Is he going to United then? Of course we got our man in the end but he's been riddled with injury when he first came in. I remember the Millwall game and thinking well he played well. I thought you can't make much of a judgement on him based on last season but I think yesterday the real positive for me was his performance. I mean I thought last season in most games I thought he was very good. I really did. Millwall he didn't have a good game but then I don't think. We were in a bad spot there weren't we? I didn't and neither did Michael Keane, I don't think anyone had a good game that night. And in general I thought he did okay last season with you know enough to show me that he's going to be a good player. You're absolutely right Saturday. Him and Michael Keane were fantastic at the heart of the defence. Okay he didn't have much to do but he didn't have much to do because they made sure he didn't have much to do. You know Ben Teker, whether you think he's great, rubbish, whatever, he's a big unit and Evan just didn't give him any opportunity saying he couldn't have it when he came on because of those two in the middle. Yeah he mean he got on the ball quite a lot. I'll have a look at some of his stats in a minute but you're right he's one who you really, he needs to produce this season the same way Michael Keane does. There is a question mark over why we didn't get another centre back but we all know we hung on for K2. I've seen a lot of Evan, well not a lot, I've seen a few Evan fans like thank god we didn't buy him after yesterday which was mad because of David. But I've seen a lot of Chelsea fans saying I wish we'd have sold them to Evan and all that. Horses for courses but the big thing I think that some people should remember is, Yeah he mean he was bought a partner Michael Keane. He wasn't bought a partner K2, my K2 was an afterthought because we needed a bit of strength in that defence. So to see those two play in the defence and as a result Evan can keep on the ninth clean sheet in 12 games, the last 12 games. It's a great base to start isn't it? I just thought he coped with everything at the weekend and looked very assured the pair of them. They did then what you've just said then as well Baz is absolutely spot on. It became last season obviously through injuries and everything else as well but it was Keane and Zuma and when we first signed the pair of them on the deadline day or Zuma obviously on loan and he came and Zuma came in and played a few games there was that debate that we were having of who'd you go with then'd you go. And I remember having conversations with yourselves and Perth as well and saying like you know Zuma's informed but you've got Yeri Mina who ultimately Zuma doesn't he's not ours he's Chelsea's and I think a lot of fans kind of got carried away with you know all the excellent business as well that Marcel Brands has done. I think we have to look at Chelsea and go they were really in a position where they cannot sell and Zuma did so well for us but yeah it should have you know it is those two it's Mina and Keane and nine out of twelve clean sheets now. I mean it's a big basis to build on and obviously Keane Zuma played in most of those clean sheet performances but he's not ours like you rightly say and I remember probably for the first third of last season maybe even half of the season people going Mina has to play because he's ours we don't even own Zuma and then because we got on to that great run and Zuma was in the team it just became it had to be Zuma and Keane and it's important now that these two settle down and build on the game. This partnership we need them to both stay fit I'm quite sure we'll address the centre back situation in January when we get there but for now for now this is what we've got and it was a great start from those two and I just thought the defence in general in general was quite good. Colman as well. Colman you know what Colman I didn't think he did have a good game but he was okay but I think Warren Judd going forward because his final ball was shocking. You want him to defend first? Defensively no one really no one went past him he's only one of the chances they had second half he was nowhere to be seen but I think he was bombing on and we give the ball away so he didn't get back. Other than that nobody caused him any problems and even to have when he came on Colman was okay but in fact he went over until he got the inside at the end didn't he so they were okay the back four were quite solid. Job and pickford was excellent as well but let's have a quick look at some of Yeti Mina's stats. 93% pass ac he received the highest in the evidence team passing at the weekend so that's not a bad start for someone who allegedly can't play of some people which is mad. 66% of those were successful passes. Seven successful long balls and quite a few of these and you know obviously it was quite blustery and windy at Sellers Park so I think this is something as we move forward that you know we can get out of him. This is something Virgil van Dijk does brilliantly for Liverpool with those long breaking balls from centre back and if you can you know we can keep that going. And we've got P.T. Wingers now as well haven't we so that's a great outlet. He likes a Bernardo Charleston on Wobie whoever else. Draggin people in. Theo. Theo. People fumin. People not happy there. He had five clearances in the game four ball recoveries three interceptions again showing his ability to read the game which was which is very very good as well. One three aerial duels two successful tackles as well so and that isn't him. So you know in general an excellent performance from Jerry Meiner he was on the who scored and so for better and all the deal was Jerry Meiner was man of the match. He got man of the match across every minute of the weekend with his numbers were better than obviously everyone on both sides so that to me is a really not that I have anyone who watched that deadline day stuff and has watched that preview and all that. I've got nobody's about him. For me I think he can be a like kind of and like that monster at the back who can go through people when it has been solid. Yeah. You've got a goal in him as well hasn't it like we've seen that massively when you know from his previous clubs and for country as well. For Columbia he's got one and two with something mad stuff. Shame he couldn't put that one away at Hanfield after a couple of minutes. This year. This year. This year. This year. This year. This year. You know he was excellent. Yeah. I think you said before you know if you've had to hand pick and ever play to have a good game at the weekend who would kind of give everybody that confidence. I think you've right this fella because I remember we were sat there you done the preview with us last year and you and you and the other one the ginger one. We're a bit worried about Michael Kean. I was saying he'll be all right because this fella. Mae'r dweud o'r tîm, yw'r cooedd, mae'n golygu'r cyfnod. Mae'n golygu'r cyfnod yn wedi'i drafnod.

We'll listen to the man himself. I'll listen to him. But, you know, there'll be people saying you want him to come on and like play a blind there and score a goal and what but that's, you know, that'll come. That'll come in time and it's a big ask for any, you know regardless of what he's done at your Ventus and the price tag and everything, for a kid that age to be in a new country and New York City can't be pinning all your hopes on him and I think, you know, there'll be a few grumbles about Carl�� And everything as well. But we can't judge Everton on that performance because like I said so many of our key players that we've brought in from Brans and Silver weren't able to play for a number o reasons so, yeah the fact that frustrated that we didn't get the three points of course I think we had the chances to put the ball in the back of the net and probably should have done but look a point away from home opening game this season. Byddwn i'n wneud y cwm angenon, ac mae'n gwanwedd o'r ffordd, fel bod yn ddweud bod yn ei ddweud. Felly mae'n gweithio'n gweithio, yn ymddangos o'r gweithio, mae'n ymddangos o'r gweithio.

A'n as Gómez i'r Llymp yn bach, ddei teithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio i'r Max Maer, a'n as i'r cutsy'n colm yn makes a brilliant bloch, i'n just loops up on to the net and it was a brilliant bit of defender by Sheamus that and we had to defend them corners. But then Andrew Gómez had to go off and I think that's where Everton really lost the way after that. I think up until that point we dictated it and you were thinking if we can just get ahead, we can take these to the cleaners really. Just before we go on to Gómez, you mentioned Dominic Alvert Luminell. What did you make of his performance, new number nine? What did you make of his performance in general at the weekend? I mean, it's a tough one with Dom because he's always someone that's going to cause split opinion. I know he's somebody who gets cops for an awful lot of stick. A lot of the time I think it's totally unjustified. I think it's a big shout by Silver to give him number nine. Does he know what weight it holds because Coney had it for a while, didn't he? Mind you, that wasn't him, was it? Sandro. Sandro had it. He's the other one I forgot about. I feel like the number nine's lost its power over recent years due to some dodgy decisions. Calvert Luminell will certainly know the weight that the number nine holds. I thought his play was okay. I think he held up the ball okay at times. Every time we see him, he's getting stronger physically. It's not all about sentimentality, is it? He's a nice lad, but a lot's got to be said for Calvert Luminell as a character and his work ethic and everything else. I think he's an asset to the side but he should be seen as a player to still develop. I think we've obviously signed Mosser Ken. Could he play up top alongside him? He needs a bit of help, I think. Again, all the pressure was on Calvert Luminell for Saturday to be the man probably that managed to get a goal. There were a few opportunities, a couple of headers I think where maybe he could do a little bit better. Whether that's a confidence thing, pressure thing, first game of the season. I apply the same thing to him that I would when we were saying about Guilfee Sigurdtson missing his opportunity and stuff. Don't think he necessarily had the best game in the world, but I think he did enough. We desperately needed to strengthen our options up front. He's had one attempt at the goal that was off target, which was the header from inside the box. He had a 73% completion rate, 11 out of 15 passes. Received about 21 times in the game, but only three out of four times in the attack and third. Two ball recoveries, one five out of 12 real duels. And one ball recovery. My only issue with Don, really, is I think he does hold the ball up well, he's getting better at that. But we need a centre forward that's going to cause problems of his own doing. And I think he's got to start getting into the right areas more often than not. And too often for me, he's not in the right place, he's outside the box, he doesn't anticipate very well. So that, if I was going to be hypocritical of him, that's the part of his game he's got to develop. Because I watched over a weekend Liverpool couldn't get out their own half, broke bang one mil, broke bang two mil, three mil. Game's dead, I watched Villar and Tottenham Saturday night, Spares were terrible, absolutely terrible. Harry Kane pops up, bang bang goals. And it's them kind of teams, I know that that's an elite level, don't get me wrong, I accept that. But that's we want to chase, that Arsenal, Wayne Crate at Newcastle yesterday, a barmyang bang one mil. Those players come up big when you need it and that's Don, if he's going to be a big player for us, has to get himself into the right areas to score goals. It's great where can I have, it's great when a net isn't taking it on your chest and laying it off. That is important, it's all important. But you need to, you've got to score goals haven't you as well. And I think that is the thing I like, I like Calvert-Lewin a lot. But like you said, centre mentality and great work ethic and everything, they're important things. But if you're a striker, you've got to be scoring goals. And obviously that's something that we did address in the summer, bringing in Moise Keane. Moise Keane, I was keep doing it wrong, I'm so sorry. Moise Keane. Moise, Davy Moise Keane, just thinking of Davy Moise. Moise Keane. Moise Keane. So we've obviously brought him in at Wobby as well, he's another attacking threat. What a signing as well he is by the way. I think whenever we've come up against Arsenal in recent years, I've always thought what a bloody handful he is. He's always been terrified of us. And the thing with him is he can play a couple of positions as well. And I think someone like him, you see I think if you played Alex O'Wobby in Guilfe Sigurdans position, Dominic Calvert-Lewin would benefit more because he breaks past Guilfe, as good a football as Guilfe is and gets goals and stuff, doesn't run past the centre forward. He likes to arrive late Guilfe, that's how he gets, or he whips one in front 80 yards. That's what he does. But Alex O'Wobby is more of a kind of explosion player. He'll carry the ball or he'll run past the striker. And I think Dom needs that someone buzzing round him. He's not refined enough to get the ball and take people on himself and create something I think Moise Keane is. I don't think Dom is that striker. But at the weekend other players were guilty of missing chances rather than playing. It's just that for me he's got to work harder at getting into the right zones. As a striker. André Gomez went off and might be said he was really the metronome of the team. In the first half he kept everything ticking over. Stundar 87% past completion, 26 out of 30, successful passes, 18 out of 22 in the middle third. He shows you how much he was on the ball, completed one out of two take-ons. Seven ball recoveries, which is a lot for him. You know Garner had post 9-10 in the game. André played 44 minutes and post 7. So already there has to be that ped talk about it last week. There's got to be a slight change in the way we play. The other two centre midfield plays have to do a bit of what Garner does because he's gone. And André was doing that. You know attacking 100% past completion in the final third. And when he went off we lost our way. And I know some people on Twitter put it down to Jean-Philippe Baman coming on. And we'll have a look at him in a minute to see if he really was as bad as what people said. But I think it was more a case of A he come on into a difficult situation. B I think if Tom Davis would have been put on people would have gone kicking off I think anyway. Why are you bringing him on? And I think it was just a little bit of both I think. Obviously Baman had said in midweek he probably wasn't ready for the weekend. I put him in my start on 11 because I thought he'd probably want to go with a bit more legs than Sneddlin. And obviously Morgan Sneddlin played which is fine. You know what we'll talk about Sneddlin in a minute to be fair. We'll come on to Morgan Sneddlin in a minute. But obviously as I go home as I went off hopefully we haven't had at this moment in time. Mark O Silver said on Saturday he didn't think it was too serious. He said he was hopeful it was just going to settle down. So hopefully that's the case. A couple of days of ice on it and hopefully he'll be okay for the weekend. He went off, Baman came on, got through half time, came on in the second half. And I thought he started quite assured he got on the ball he was knocking it round. Then he got caught a couple of times thinking he's got all day. His head's up and he's waiting and bang they take the ball off him. And he nearly scored. He broke quickly and Jordan Pickford come out and you mentioned before made two great saves. And he made that one in particular from Jordan, are you? What a save. It was a great save because he couldn't narrow the angle. It was out quick and made a great block. And that was from Baman taking too long. And if anything that's the big thing I took from the games. That he looks good, he likes to tackle. I'll put his numbers up in a minute and I'll have a look if he really was as bad as people said. But it was that. I've got to realise very quickly that in the Premier League you haven't got a minute to put your head up and start looking around. I know I'll pass it over there. Seeing it on Saturday night, Jack Reelish stepping out for Villar. One, one, four minutes to go, into the box. Tackle comes in, Harry Kane banged to one, Villar have lost the game. And that's a player who people rate highly. And Jack Reelish will get back up to speed. He'll realise it isn't the championship. The same way as John Felipe Baman will realise the Premier League isn't the Bundesliga. It is a quicker. So I've got to speed up in things I do. And it was, you know, that was the biggest thing I took away. Yeah, no, definitely. And that's, you bang on. The Premier League is a step up in physicality, in pace, in everything. You lose your laps in concentration for a second and you could find yourself a goal down exactly. You're punished every time for any mistake you make in this league. And I think it was a bit of a baptism of fire. Yeah, you know, it's palace away. It's not the toughest side in the world, but it's a tough place to go in there. A physical side with a, you know, a good loud home support as well. So no doubt the adrenaline and everything's going. You're about to make the debut for the team you just signed for. Debut, you know, opening day of the season, sorry. Gomez has just gone off. It's huge pressure and I think that's exactly it. Look, once you've made a mistake and you've been caught out, you're automatically then thinking, I've messed up here, I can't afford to do that again. It's a way you cook cool and you're panicking then and you're on the back foot. I think it's the same in anything you do in life. I think back to my little driving lessons. I'll be bombing along, seat back, chilling, like stall. And that's it then. I'm like this for the rest of the thing. And you make mistakes because in your head you're thinking, I've already messed up there. I don't want to do it again. I don't want to do it again. He must know that, you know, people are going to be watching him extra closely with it being his debut and stuff. So, yeah, I think he looks sounding enough. Obviously, look, I trust the management that we've got in and Marcel Brands' director of football. People will be sick to death of hearing me talk about brands, but I trust his judgement. Yeah, 100%. You know, I've no doubt this has been a player that has been lined up and watched for a long time. 12 months. Yeah, every player that's coming in now has a specific role and a specific purpose of how they're going to fit in this team, where, how they're going to develop. They've planned this so eloquently that I just think, yeah, how the hell are we going to judge someone on maybe like a couple of dodgy moments? You know, it's just, let's keep our heads here. And I've got to say, don't get me wrong, I can be the biggest crank in the world and I can be so on it and so, especially when it comes to football and evidence, because you just care so much and you want everything to work out. But like, let's have less of a knee jerk, please, come on, we've got to get behind these boys, as well, haven't we? What use is it going out? He's shitting. He's played 45 odd minutes. Give the lad a break. Let's give him a few months and see how he develops into the season. But look, we've seen it with players before. Michael Keane, you spoke about it before, this time last year. I was sat here with you going, no, not for me, Baz. He's not got the right mentality. He's too frail as a mentality. He's nervous. He's not strong enough. And he turned out to be one of our best players towards the end of the season. So, just give the lad a chance in time. Let's have a look at his numbers. 38 touches of the ball, which is quite a lot, considering he was only on for half the time. Excuse me. 24 successful passes. 14 successful forward passes. So people criticising him not going forward. He did. Successful attack on third passes. Passing acurus he's 77% a seam. A few people saying just give the ball away constantly. He didn't. Quite clearly, quite clearly he didn't. Four ball recoveries. So I said before Garner was posting 10-11 consistently last season. He played 45 minutes, 46 is posting four. That's not bad at all. One successful tackle, one aerial duel. One and he's suffered one foul. So overall, when I looked at his numbers in relation to other players on the pitch, he wasn't any worse than anybody else really. Obviously he'd like to get him in it. Like I said, you know. He was cut above wasn't he? He was cut above. But for John, for Leith Goodman, he was not bad at all. What was his system was? 10 out of 14 attacking third passes he completed. He was 12 out of 15 in the middle third, but only two in a defensive third. So in general he was high up the pitch anyway. Which is where... That's what we want. Garner was good as Garner was and he was. He was obviously more defensive minded. The one successful tackle was the one. He didn't lose a challenge. 100% tackle right? 100% clearance right? 100% aerial duels won. So, you know, I'm as filed. So his stats proved a little bit more than maybe what, you know, the eye test when you're watching the game. Did you think of those as well? Sorry to interrupt me there, but I was like that. When we bring in someone and you know, obviously the more exciting signings you say would be Keane and Iwobi and stuff. But when we signed Gabarmin as well, it's another big money signing. You know, he's the guy who's been brought in to replace Garner. And I don't know, like, expectation, we expect to see, like, Garner Mark II come in, like, just be bigger and better and more exciting than Garner and because he wasn't quite on it and he didn't have the best game. Like, you know, no one's, but you know, maybe that's part of it as well. People just get excited and want to see these debutants come on and you know, we spent a lot of money on you. Go and do your thing going. But when we signed Garner, I remember a lot of people were like, ooh. Why are we buying someone from Villa who was relegated and all that. I remember me and Pett went to the, I think, he was your play pet. We played some Spanish to you. And we got beat one, you know. He gave a penalty away after five minutes to six minutes and people were like, he was just like, he was running around like a loon like he is. And then a week later, against Spears on his debut at home, he was absolutely brilliant and he was brilliant for months. So, you know, I know what you're saying and you're right. That's why I say, I wonder what people's reaction would have been when if Tom Davis would have been the one to replace André Gomez. I think people would have kicked off anyway and go, why haven't we broken up? Davis is there, you know. Yeah, that's it. If Davis come on and didn't score a goal or do something major than it had been. Listen, I am talking about a minority of people here, of course, because I think a lot of people I think a lot of people will just go, you know, I'm just all right. I'm not worried about him. I've seen enough of him. I'm not worried about him. Just know that he's a good footballer and I think the work that Michael Silver will do on the training ground when once he's fully up to speed I think he'll be fine and it'll be, we'll have to get you because what he'll do is he brings us different things than what Garner did. OK, he's not got some of the things Garner's got but again, you know, we talked about André Gomez with the ball recoveries talking about him and the ball recoveries and people playing they will have to do what Garner did in terms of that but he offensively can go what I'd like to have seen him a couple of times he broke with the ball. I wanted him to carry on carry on and have a shot. We don't really have anyone in our team people seem to be frightened to have a dig in our team, I've found that like I used to love seeing that with like big Curt would always carry it forward don't worry, I'm not still pining after him it's all good. And I think that's why I think that's what a woe we'll bring as well. Take more shots. Take more shots, that's the big thing. Sometimes I think we try too hard to just pick the lock you know and it's like we're getting these chances in but at the moment apparently not the centre forward to put the chances away so yeah. Everyone's got a way you know see him score a belter on he'll smash one, chop in and everyone will go Gladys Street. He's alright. He's not bad actually. That was John Filippio Ball and I thought he's okay, he's numbers quite clearly show he was okay. He was alongside Morgan Snideland and Morgan Snideland I thought he'd done alright up to a point what he done what he had to do, he was sitting in front of the back foot. I think the problem I have with Snideland when I watch him, he does a specific job and it's fine but too often when he receives the ball he just wants to go back towards our goal and twice in the first half if he did just look there was a gap 20 yards further ahead he spins round almost in the circle to put his foot on it and to look again and it's but he was doing the job he was getting a bit frustrated with John Mosh and he nicked the ball from Jordan Ayew who went on the floor and made the most of it it was ridiculous spun around as if he'd been shot but Snideland frustration punches the turf three or four times. You can't do it, you can't do that to a referee, especially someone like John Mosh because they just he gets off on getting a contact don't he get the easiest opportunity to book him there and the players were complaining about the red card on Bernard and the challenge by Milhojewits wasn't a great one on Bernard but maybe in his defence he was looking at the ball so it would have been he put his foot over to Gorham but my argument was Milhojewits completed nine fouls on Saturday finished again where Snideland won four it was just one ridiculously it was nonsense it was stupid, he just had a full grown adult paddy on the grass didn't he just keep your head a little bit he'd have been better laughing than shaking his head just joking away as I have to say what's all saying to the referee fair enough but he's dying he didn't he got booked and then you're walking the tightrope then and the second one I've got no qualms it was a yellow card stupid tackle if he didn't continue to go in for the tackles we'll be criticising him for not tackling I don't know but it was a clumsy sin tackle as soon as he does that you know it's a red card we're struggling at the moment Snideland now is suspended for a match Garner's gone Delft's injured Gomez we've no idea that's the thing with Snideland because the season before last as far as I was concerned I couldn't couldn't boot him far enough away from Everton football club if I tried I wanted him out because I thought his attitude stunk the gaff out and quite often his performances as well but given the opportunity when he did come in last season and then his wife who came out didn't she and said she'd had a word with him about his attitude and it was quite an interesting thing and he seemed to turn it round he seemed to get his attitude back on track and performances like the Derby he played that but then he lets himself down it's like he's in a bad books with all the supporters of the club and then he's like oh Snideland's alright actually he can do a job maybe he has got a future then he just does stupid stuff stupid stuff like that so do you blame him 100% for that I just think it was careless I blame him for having a paddy and getting himself booked in the first place you're a professional you get paid enough money to not do that I'm sure you're annoyed I have paddies all the time but I'm not getting paid 120 grand a week or not saying he's probably quite that much but just keep your head first game of the season there's 15-20 minutes to go in the game at that point and you just think could that extra man have been what we needed and got the win it's just why get yourself sent off in that situation and it happens too often how many times has he been sent off forever someone got the stats or anything Joe cos he's had a few red cards forever and that seems to be you know we're near good enough to bring that to bring that risk of you seeing red well he had a a complete of 48 out of 54 so we had 89% past completion 11 out of 12 in the defensive 29 out of 34 8 out of 80 in the attacking third which is mad 150% of his tackles couple of interceptions completed all of his clearance completed all of his head of clearance one one out of three jewels gave four files away and was red carded and that to me you write it it almost sums them up because you're saying you know you're doing a decent job everybody's kind of accepting of you've got yourself back in and you're saying you know this is your milhoi of it seven files stayed on the pitch but you write he's got himself in the team it's an opportunity for him because Delft's injured and Rebam's not up to speed and you're in that position and to go and commit a silly file like that and then we were on the back foot we just brought on Moise Keane Dom had gone off Moise Keane and come on he was getting involved he was getting involved in the game a bit more on the second half Gilfee Sigurd that shock laid off the line by Van Arnold and you're thinking we're forced on our way into this obviously Christopher Palace had two big moments Max Mayer should have done better it was a great save by Jordan Pickford he'd already made the save for Mayer and he goes off and it's like that's the three points they're bringing Wilf Siharon we're going to have to go some to win this game now and we just had them back where we kind of wanted them to it felt like it was going that way I was thinking the last ten minutes we'll force these right back because they'd only really got opportunities from our mistakes and then Snyddans off the pitch and it's like give them the owners now okay, they brought a hard on he showed a couple of nice dribbles and stuff but they didn't really they have one moment where Van Arnold and Lucardine Clare are at the back stick we had an effort with the charlots and we just fizzed wide but I come away thinking it felt like a typical opening day performance by Everton it wasn't brilliant it wasn't terrible it was just a little bit people still looked a bit rusty and I don't know stuff worked them players really hard so I don't think it's a fitness thing it just I don't know why our players just aren't sharp enough when you watch the top teams like Man City and you see like Liverpool and I was going to say Spades but I actually watched Spades and they looked like us it was everything that was a bit in there although I believe Liverpool were a bit like that and just took the chances so do you think then the difference in those top teams is essentially just better than ours and that's why we don't win these games I don't know because I love it I mean he quite clearly are better by the way Man City and Liverpool some three's a brilliant of course like when it comes to those teams but I look at the teams around them Harry Kane's brilliant isn't he when he wants to be, where was he at the Champions League final go up now when he wants to be but what I mean is because he's at that level they just need a sniff don't they and hopefully that's Moise Keen o bring that for us well this is it and we're in a position now especially after the whole Cuminera and Steve Walsh and all that where after Moise had left where we dropped so far back from where we were and you know to now be in a position with the players that we've brought in and the squad that we've got that we've got to be looking at trying to crack that top six I think we've got the ability to do that because outside of Liverpool and City I think we're attacking options now with the Moise Keen one comes good you know obviously he's only very very young and we don't want to put too much on him but there already is a lot we need you to score 20 plus league goals in this season now so you know you've got him OI Wobion, you've got Bernard Richard Allison even Siginson when he wants to be so I look at it and I go like other than those two and you know we should be looking at especially you know the likes of Chelsea just like you know maybe even Arsenal but you've got to take those I mean Arsenal they're another one I look at Arsenal I don't think they're great but Obama Young as like you said before Obama Young scores the goal and there's the three points and I think that's the difference at the moment for Everton so I don't know that's what it'll be I think like you said right at the start defensively we're very good the clean sheets again 9 and 12 games is a great base okay we've got a couple of issues but I think quality wise we've got a good stretch there so it's going to be the final third and that's where we really have to sharpen up and I just think if we would have had and I know any teams can say this all day long of course the camera if we would have had a Harry Kane or a Obama Young or a Mo Salah we'd have won that game because they've got that one opportunity and they've been bang one nil and we've passed it up and it's okay day one it's happened we've come away and we've got a point like you said before it can be a tricky place to go and all of that as we go forward we've got to start taking those gilfy sigits and opportunities and they've got to be goals Bernard has got to get it out of his feet and shoot instead of trying to play clever little one two's and Seamus so it's going to be they're going to be defining moments for us because again what I liked about Saturday's performance was we looked like a top team in terms of we went there and we had the ball and we dominated it we had 500 passes to day 248 I think it was you know a high number of passing the ball we had 10 of 10 65% possession so quite clearly we were the dominant side but it doesn't mean anything if you don't win games and that will be the thing for Mark Osill to get that blend right the press is on the charlison again the press is I love Bernard absolutely love him but he's got to start putting the ball in the net he's got to start shooting don't pass off opportunities when they're in front of you start taking a chance and if we do that we'll win more of these games then we'll draw them and that will elevate us this is the difference as well isn't it how many times especially look how we ended the season beating Manu, beating Chelsea beating Arsenal at home away from home as well we picked up our form this is another one and though he's not a player that's necessarily going to add a load of goals to us but having the Fabian Delph Fabian Delph having him in the team because I do think Andrew Gomez Sadibi as well bringing in these we talk about winning mentality and that is something that's so big in the players that we brought in is that winning mentality and I still think that's massively missing at Everton we are at Palace and it is nil nil now you're probably a fan of your city and it's nil nil at Palace and there's 20 minutes to go you're thinking I will still win this for you nil but with Everton you're like almost if it gets to half time at nil nil sometimes I'm thinking oh where's this goal going to come from with players like that we've got a player who's won multiple Premier League titles just someone who's going to go come on don't let this drop don't let our heads drop keep going keep fighting for everything we've got to have that finisher as well hopefully it will be Moise Keane to me they've all got a way in they've all got a way in you should be scoring a lot of goals Bernard should be adding goals where Charleston will be adding goals and then obviously Dom Dom will get goals it's just that you've got to do more to get goals I can't see him getting more than like five or six though but that's the challenge though isn't it the challenge for Dom is he's got to he's number nine he's got to that's what I'm saying he should be and he will score a few goals and he goes through last season the little spell and there he scored at the Etihad and he had the little run where he scored a few goals and he was playing well he was probably in a spell our best player at that time he'll be some people watching this but he's got to score goals he's a striker and he's got to score goals and you want to defend him and you know I have defended him and you want to but yeah we need all of them to start contributing don't we quite simply just score a few goals but I do believe they'll come with time but we're missing some massive players on the weekends I think we missed Elf at the weekend but listen just do the goals just do the goals don't let any in and just do the goals at the other end and do that we'll be sound I don't know whether it's a fun fact it's not a fun fact because we didn't score but the fact is it's Everton's first goalless draw on the opening day of the season since 1998 when we drew Neil Millar so 21 years thanks to Joe for that brilliant fact 21 years without a goalless draw on day one there you go I don't know whether it makes me feel any better I'd rather end other things that have been 20 plus years maybe that's what it's going to be maybe it's the year silverware's coming big thanks to Sarah let us know what you think we just got nearly an hour out of a Neil Millar's draw easy mate let us know what you think in the comments section below how are you feeling are you still a bit gutted is your bombing crap in your opinion he's not a book there you go are you confident we can still have a course you're at if you're not confident we can have a good season after day one then go and get a cup of tea get a jaffa cake and just sit and chill just get yourself confident and happy again and peds putting some kind of strobe lighting on so on that note with peds literally thinks he's in a festival techno viking in the corner then it's all going off
