 Welcome to Toffy TV here. It's the Instant Match Reaction Norwich City Neil Everton 1. Three points for the Blues in what was a frustrating watch if you're an Evertonian. Of course, we've got the three points and that's edges over the 40-point mark, which is fantastic news. We can start looking up. A few of yous out there were getting a little bit worried at the table and now you're here. But I think now that gives us the platform no matter how the performance to look up. We've got seven days now to Leicester City at home next week. We've got to play the likes of Tottenham. We've got to play the likes of Wolves, so their teams were just above us. I think this game sort of hopefully will calm, not nares down, but just gives us the platform so that instead of messing around about the 13th, 14th place, that we can start looking up and hopefully that was it. The game obviously Anthony Gordon was left out when I had came in. It was frustrating, very frustrating first half. The ball just didn't stick. Midfield was poor. Tom Davis and Andre Gomez were very, very disappointing. So the point where Tom Davis was obviously taking off half-time. But you know what? It could have been either of them. And I imagine it's just probably Andre Gomez's stature as a player. You know, he's six-fourth or just a bit more strength. But it's that frustrating. For me, the first half was really annoying me most. The amount of times we just give the ball away needlessly and help knowledge get up the pitch. And they're a club. They like to pass it round. They were looking for that bit of encouragement, a little bit of confidence. And after about 20 minutes, I think they looked at us and went, these aren't much of a threat. And they thought, we'll have a go here, which put us on the back foot. I would like to see a few more long balls go over the top, test them, give Ray Charleston a bit of a run old dom. And Ray Charleston looked massively frustrated as well. He had one old games where he had a bit of a cobbon. And he never really, where some games, he's had a bit of a cobbon recently. And you've seen him digging and do something positive way today. I don't know. It might have just been the fact that, you know, after such a long break playing the game three days after a tough game against Liverpool, you don't know. You don't know what's going through these players' legs. You don't know what's going through their minds. So he had a disappointing game. Half-time we went in, manager obviously wasn't happy, changed a few things around. We'd only had one shot in the first half of any note. They did the post off of it. And I didn't have that chance when they had the post. That showed you what you can do in a game like this when you have a little bit of a run. Manager's gone in half-time, sucked on Davis, brought Guilfee Sigarton on. And for all sorts of Guilfee Sigartons, the tractors, the game at the moment, the pace-wise actually shoots his pace. But I thought what he did was he didn't do it all the time, but he got older and older and kept the ball. A Wobie's position slightly changed. It looked like he came in off the touchline and he started to get involved. Sheamus Cullman started to be a little bit of an option outside him. And for that first 10, 15 minutes, a second and a half, we started to, straight away, we got a shot on. We got a corner. And obviously it was a corner on the other side that led to the goal. Great delivery on Michael Keane doing what Michael Keane should do five, six times a season to give us the goal. And after that, apart from our own stupidity, we looked quite comfortable. And again, though, we got back into bad habits, giving the ball away. I mean, a mountain of times in the last 10 minutes that we give the ball away, it absolutely bairns my head out. One of the things that bairnt my head out when we had Michael Silver was the game management. Not being able to do, make the right decisions. Now, someone like Dominic Armand-Looney's brilliant at it, he gets the ball, holds it up, and he either gets a foul or wins a throwing or just plays it off. But the amount of times that we just dangerously kick it somewhere or don't hit the corner or don't try and turn them round, the amount of times we try and play a clever little pass or something and it was stupid. Michael Keane comes onto the pitch and, do you know what, massively disappointed in him, to be honest tonight. First thing he does is try and try a clever back heel, didn't come off, jumps in and he's booked. And it's the meanie. He doesn't look fit. The one in our box really tried to take about four of them on. Honest to God, my heart was pumping out my chest. I know he got up the pitch and ran them and won a free kick, but my God, the lad's attitude just does not look right. And listen, we limped over the line, we got the three points, we didn't really have, I think Dom had a good shot that was tipped over. We limped over the line. I'm just open now with that weak recovery. That next week against Leicester, we'll see a bit more, but we've got to get the game management right. Players have got to start doing the simple things that hasn't been all dead clever and make it, you know, trying to be just stupid things like in the last minute, Luca Dean, knock a ball over the top and let Anthony Gordon run onto it. No, trying to play a clever inside pass, we lose the ball in the next minute. They're breaking on us. We've got to get rid of those stupid little moments that we've seen. Especially go back to something like the Newcastle game, which cost us. But overall, listen, we got the three points. It was a great performance. We took four points out of our first two games. And that's really, listen, we'd all love to have six points with me, but it's not too available. But it was a very, very frustrating game. And if anyone joined us on our watch along, we'll see how frustrated we were. And I don't mind getting beat by better teams. I don't mind getting beat by good goals. What I hate is when you do stupid things, when you've got control of the game. And no, only for a small spell in that second half did we have control. And against a team like Norwich, you didn't... All right, they had a couple of moments, but they rested all their best players for the FA Cup. You've got to have more control. We've got over the line. We've got three points and it's on to next week now. So let me know your thoughts in the comments. Did it frustrate you? Did it annoy you? Or are you just happy with three points?
