 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview. Everton vs Southampton as we have to get back to the reality of football after such a good week. After the Mayside Derby stadium announcement, Llewka Dean's contract and back to football as it should be. This is a big week for Everton, starting with the Southampton game, moving on to the West Brom game. But this is a big week, isn't it, because we have to get six points out of these two games, start with Southampton. If we want to really chase that spot, that European spot, I mean, champion league football is still there, clearly. But to stay within the mix, this is a big game. We've had a few of them at Godderson of Leith, just thinking this morning that Manchester United, Leith or Liverpool, we took seven points out of that. And we had Leith's there at home, Newcastle at home and Fulham at home, we took one out of that. And that shows the massive differences in our home form and our away form. You know, no wins in the last five, I think it is a Godderson, isn't it, to the first four of Godderson with Westampton on it. So we've got to get back to winning, you know, we haven't won a round since we beat Arsenal just before Christmas. So if we're going to do anything in Europa League or even better than Champions League, these are the games we have to win. Southampton on in great form, still a dangerous side. I've had a really good first half of the season, the top at one stage. Deslamig to that, and they buy the injury. A lot of players through injury lost the rhythm, no wins in life for them at the moment. And this time, Evan have got to really put the pressure on them and not give them any joy. Like we give Newcastle and we give Southampton, Fulham rather, who were also on, not great runs. So this is one we have to make sure we get the three points in. Yeah, I mean, I know they're on a bad run, but bad runs after the end. And we have to be at it in this game. We have to be at it from the start. We have to show that a kind of aggression that we showed in the main side. That we have to start approaching these games with the same kind of tactical setups. And I keep on using that word respect and hung it to win, because that's the thing that'll get you over the edge. You know, you mentioned the home form there, but between now and the end of the season, we've got games that. We should, we should be expecting to win at home as far as we can say. And then you audit year with fans in there, you'd expect to win. And with those wins, you know, that rise, you're on to that, to the point to Tally. You know, we've spoken about this loads of times. 60 points is the threshold for Europe, isn't it? If you don't get 60 points, you're not going to get European football. So the aims got to be right now is 60 points. And we don't know, you know, normally it can be champions league can be anywhere between I suppose 62, 63 to maybe 70. I mean, we've missed out on over 70 points, which is mad, but it won't be the case this season. But because it is such a weird season and everyone in the top 10 is, I mean, I know the top three now are starting to pull away, but a little bit. But because the rest are quite bunched up and it is only a couple of games between everybody at the most, you know, you win a couple or someone loses a couple, shoot your right up or you can be back down. We've got to be looking at seven wins. And you think about it and you go, well, between now and the end of the season, we could pick up four wins at home and three away. That's it. Do you know what I mean? You look at it like that when you think about it like that. You look at it like that. We've got to win 50% of our games, the remaining games. Not that much really, you know. We've had a good run so far. We've won 50% of our games so far in the Premier League, you know. 12 wins from 24 games. So if we do that again, then we've got, you know, even if we won seven and lost seven, you know, do a lead, win or lose. That is essentially what leaves the Dumfney show. And Spades did that and got in Champions League for so many seasons. It was like play that on the edge. We had a win or we lose, but, you know, that's what we're doing. If everything were to repeat that, then they'd have 61 points and then the seven other games, you know, even if you were to win one of those and lose the other six, you're talking 64 points there. That would, that to me would get you in the Champions League or very close to it. I think less than missed out on 64 last year. United and Chelsea ended up with 66, but they were going into that final day in the Champions League place on 64 points. So they got a point there. So it's a, you know, that's what we've got to look at. There's no reason I ever couldn't win. Nine of those last 14, but that's a lot of wins, but seven when you look at it, like you just said, five home wins out of seven two away wins. Not that much, really, when you look at it. But it's no good if we've had games on paper before. We'd be 10, we had the 10, you know, the 10 of the year and we had, you know, without being disrespectful, we had like West Hamerow, Newcastle, Fulhamerow, and Leicester. And Leicester are a good try, but you're thinking, the other three then, if we took 10 points on those 12, even if we did took draws, the manager said it in a press conference for this game, saying, you know, maybe we have to be defensively switched on a home there. And he said, and if we did through the games, no, no, we'd have had another three points. We said, we'd be writing in the mix still. So that's what we have to do. The problem with that is now we are in a situation now, where we have to win these games now because these are, you know, these are them, you get the mentality right in these kind of games now. These are the games because, yeah, we've got to go to, like, Chelsea way, we've got to go to Arsenal way, City away, places we don't traditionally do well. I mean, that could easily change the season. But the games that we should win, we've got to win, like you're just saying, and we've got to start winning those games because they'll be the ones that make or break the season. You know, if I like the West Hamer way, that'll be a tough game as well. The other way, tough game, but... So there's tough games away, but we've dealt with tough games away. But this, that home form, like here, we've got to, for this, these are, these are, you know, we've played them away, good press inside, the battereders, you know, we didn't have a sniff really, all game. But we've got to be aggressive because when you've got, these have got players like Danny Ings, they've forced women, we've seen that numerous times. They've forced women around the box, he's always a danger man. We'll prowl us on the set pieces. They're not, you know, they're not a... Don't give free, actually. Yeah, don't give free. They're not a, not to be taken lightly, just because the record's poor. We've got to have the right attitude and coming off the back of that derby, it's got to be, it's got to be followed up with the victory. It's got to be followed up with the victory to show people that, you know, you're not just talking about it, you didn't just do it once, you didn't do it, you know, you can turn off a certain games. You've got to start turning up for these home games. Got to. Yeah, the first goal again, I've said it so many times, but it's proven this season, it really is. Especially with not having fans in the stadiums, it's proven that it's key. You know, and what happened in the derby was we were on the front foot from the face whistle. We got a corner after 10 seconds or something. You know, if Godfrey'd had been out to sort his feet out, it might have been 1-0 in that opening half, you know, 30 seconds or whatever. So we were on the front foot, we'd done it with the goal, we scored it in the last three minutes, and then your game plan comes in there. You think of everything being nice and solid and compact, if everything can get ahead in this game, then you can dictate what happens. Southampton carry a threat, but the 4-4-2, we know what they're going to play. The 4-4-2, the only thing he's rotated of late is his side of being, he's put Nathan Redmond up there so he can drop off and make it a 4-5-month. And he's rotated Danny Ings and say, Adam's out, and they've partnered Nathan Redmond. But they do have injuries, you know. But you're right, they've still got a threat with war crowds. They do press well. But they're a team that a few games ago were a bit 9-0 by Manchester United. So if you catch them and United got ahead that thing, don't give them encouragement. When you're on a terrible run, you don't want to go behind. Because the minute you concede, your first thought is, here we go again. Yeah, the belief. Whereas if you score, you've got something to cling on to. If you get ahead, you've got something to hold on to anything. That's being the mistake I haven't made against Fulham. We allowed the game plan. I don't know whether there was one, but we went ragged and allowed them to score. And when it went 1-0, we went even more ragged. So they picked us off. Newcastle, at home, was the same. It was nipping suck. And they got the first goal and we were ragged. And once it went 1-0, we never confident we were going to equalize. Whereas other games, when we've gone ahead and particularly away from home, you can see the game plan is there. And it's like, we'll just pick you off, come on to us because we'll just go. It's going to be interesting actually from the team point, team selection point. Because obviously, mayside Barbie picked it in place to do certain jobs, like Seamus Coleman. It's going to be interesting actually, because you know, he's confirmed Dominic Carver-Leon's ready to start. He's confirmed Alan's ready to start. So that makes it very interesting because now he's got options off the way. People are excited again, sort of forgotten what it's like to have Dominic Carver-Leon and Richard and Richard on playing together. So there's the possibility that, because people think, I don't know whether the manager's going to go look at that and think, well that could be a really good option, but... That's your front, you mean? Yeah, yeah. I mean, we played 4-4-2 in this game last season, I mean, that's the other thing. Scored a goal, didn't he? That ball by Luchydine. That good, isn't it? That didn't lock down. I mean, sometimes we were very good that day as well, but we ended up through our own, but Richard scored a cracking goal. Great pass from Luchydine. So maybe, maybe that... But one thing we've got to do is get him closer to Dominic, if we do go out with the 4-3-3-3, and get him closer to Dominic. He prayed at the weekend, somebody plays on the shoulder, and if you can get him in behind, you know, he's looking like himself again. Now the manager again in the press conference said, he's back, he's a top. He's a top talent, but he's back now. You know, he's had all that travelling early on, and he was injured, and he was missing games, he caught up with them. Now he's sharp and ready in Hungary, and he's scoring goals, and he's had to back down. Looks happy. He just looks back to the brilliant as we know, doesn't he? Ym hynna, 3-4 mwyn sy'n lŵch yn eich ysiel yw'r ffyrdd. Now he looks like he's sharp again, he's got that little bit of hunger back, that he lost it, but it's evidence coming back to him. Great to see Dominic make a big impact on Saturday when he came on. Alan, he was... You figure out what Alan was for us. He's been out for 10 weeks. But in that time, he was brilliant the night he went off. He was dictating the whole game against Leicester. So it's great to have him back. I'm like you, I feel like forever. Now the way forward is to have Tom Davis where he is in the 6 and have Alan the Corry buzzing round, and then use Guilfee Sigarton and use André Gomez. At the key times in the games, when maybe André can come on and keep the ball if we need to or Guilfee can come on and maybe a Hammers or go and join in in the top end of the pitch, but let the other three. Particularly against these who are, who do buzz around a bit. I think you need... You saw that in the Goulderson game last season. You couldn't get near them. If you remember that game, it was just like a wave of attacks for them. Certainly the first half. Certainly the first half. I think the second half was more evident when we were in it a lot more in the second half. But the first half, they could have been out of sight at half time. They missed the pen and everything. You have to watch them evidently. Haven't done brilliantly against teams you press well. But we did really well against Liverpool and not many do it better than Liverpool. Maybe we waited for that. You said it was about being on the front front. It's about being aggressive. It's about starting off in the right manner. That's what we haven't done at home in any of these games. I can't remember the last time. We really went out. You remember Beat Spades in the Cup. It was a really slow start. I suppose Man City was that. I know it was only last week I suppose and because we were seen as doing the dogs in that. And we did have a plan in for an hour. We were great against. So I suppose it's got to be like that. It's got to be offensively we weren't. We needed to be better. But the plan was working. We were on down by a great goal. Really for an hour against Man City I thought we were fine. We were comfortable because I think that's where we are most comfortable. We confident in defending because we've got really good defenders. We do need to progress and we know that better players help you to progress. But also if you've got a solid back you know that you can win games. You've got the confidence. The last time we led at Godderson was Arsenal. Sorry Leicester but we got a point. And then the last time we won a game at Godderson we were in front which was Arsenal and that's what we have to do. Don't we we've got to get ourselves in front in this game. Man United we lost when we were ahead but apart from that we lost another game. We've been ahead. So we have to just be forceful, aggressive and go after them. Let's have a look at Sheldon. If Sheldon beat us it'll be the first time he's done a double over us since 1997-98. Great. They've won the last two Premier League games on a Monday. That's not great. Everton have lost the last three Premier League home games last losing more consecutively at home when it's off flight in April to September 58. Everton have played more Premier League games on the first day of the month than any other side. Played 60. The record in these games is yeah. No team has scored more header goals than Everton don't know about heading maybe. Dominic Alvertloon has scored five header goals he's the top header goal scorer in the league. Danny Ings has been involved in directly in seven goals in his nine Premier League start against Everton. Five goals and two assists. Richard Charleston is looking to score in three consecutive Premier League home games for Everton for the first time since December 2019 and Guilffy Sigarton has been involved in six Premier League goals in 23 appearances this season four goals and two assists one more than in 35 games he scored two goals and three assists and only against Chelsea where he scored six has Sigarton scored more goals than he has against Southampton which he's got five. I always say this just to finish one of his best goals for Everton was in a horrific form on the feeter saying there he's put his goals in absolutely well. I remember he tried to say it to keep on winning when you watch it again Fraser Foster's nowhere near it it's the bar but it's an opportunity for Everton we've done it on Amfield at the weekend we broke one little bit of a who do can we get this not winning in 2021 at home off our back in the Premier League get this win under our belts and start building the belief in Goddison again because if we do that we get that right we'll get into your because we've got seven home games Spears is a tough one but the beatable as many teams are proving now beating Southampton we should be winning this so it's a great opportunity if Everton wanted to achieve something these are the games you've got to win definitely definitely there you go there is no your thought so your confidence of beating Southampton after obviously the derby victory a lot of plays back a lot of plays to choose from bit of a selection dilemma for the manager but I'm sure he'll figure it all out he'll figure it all out and of course he's still up for another three weeks but alright so let's just make sure that obviously we didn't get the three points we've got the game plan so let us know your thoughts in the comments make sure to give this video a like, subscribe if you haven't already and if you want more videos exclusive videos daily live videos, June is over on Patreon the link is in the description and it's on the screen right now see you later
