 Welcome to Toffee TV, it is the start of the 11 show, Everton versus Manchester City. The penultimate game at Goddison Park for this season. Very tough game, but after Monday's results, I think we're all feeling a little bit more positive going into the final three games and positive about this game as well. Manchester City sandwiched them in between two Champions League games, the semi-filing into Real Madrid, so this could be a huge opportunity for Evan to get something. Anyway, let's get into it. Jordan Pickford in goal. Say it every week, you know, he's one of the best keepers in the Premier League, certainly at the moment. Some of the saves he made against Brighton were absolutely outstanding. He was phenomenal in that second half to make sure we kept our lead intact. So, of course, he starts in goal. Right back, Nathan Patterson continues again at the really good game against Brighton. I thought he struggled for the first 20 minutes or so, but then once he got his bit between the teeth, I thought he got better and better. The termination was there and he looks at times. I said times defensively can switch off and that'll be an area against Manchester City. He's got to make sure he's concentrating all the time, just the way they move the ball. You know, a bit like Brighton did, but that gives me certainly the confidence that he can do that and hopefully give him the confidence because that's really the only person it matters to. So, he starts at right back. Left back, Michel Encoe again did well in the Brighton game. Bit shaky second half when there was real genuine pace up against him, but yeah, just got to keep it steady, just concentrating on defending and nothing else certainly in this game. I think that's where he's had his best games, actually Michel Encoe, when it has been all about concentrating on defending and not having to worry about the other sides. I think that's really important in this game. At centre back, Jely Meena, obviously I got my wish. A lot of people last week said, I'll never play. He did play, he finally played. I had to put him in my team for the last few weeks and finally he was awarded. So, and he had a good game as well, thankfully, because with a little bit stupid, didn't I? I'd been banging the drum for him. So, look good in that game and be interested in the tussle if it is against Harlan this Sunday. He'll be interested in that tussle. But it was a really good, really good first star for him under Shundice. So, hoping for something similar, be a little bit more different, be less crosses in the air, I'd imagine, more on the floor. So, yeah, needs to be at his best again. And next to him, James Tarkowski, I think, has been our most consistent performer all season. So, and he had a good game as well on Monday night. Into midfield, a distant guy. Again, he'll be massive in this game, just sitting in front of that back four. He's been very consistent. Yes, we know he's had the odd mistake in giving the ball away in stupid areas. But I think recently he's been very focused on his job. I think maybe Shundice has brought that to him and he's been getting on with it. And, you know, the way he wins the ball back and just plays it easy, just need that continuing this game. And for him, this game will be a lot about closing off the space, closing off the passing lanes. So, hopefully that continues. Next to him, James Garner, I thought, again, quietly effective against Brighton. Not that massively showy, didn't have loads and loads of touches, then get about 33 touches in the entire game. But again, it's about doing your job, it's about closing off those passing lanes, stopping Man City from getting into the space that they like to play in. That requires you sometimes, as in midfield, to just stop them from playing. When he gets on the ball, he does try and look to play forward. And one of the things from the Brighton game is how quickly we broke. So, and he's an important player to just find plays in space as they're breaking. So, those two, and the head of them, Abdelad the Coray, who obviously another two goals against Brighton, the first two, massive in that game. Again, just giving us a threat, just roaming into space, that had been opened up by Dominic Arvindlun's runs, massively important, being the most important player in Sean Dice's teams because he helps create that almost 4-4-2 at times. So, he's been massive. On the right-hand side, Alex Oboe, I thought, played well against Brighton, against Leicester, I was massively frustrated by him, by him losing the ball and just not taking the great game by the scruff of the neck, but I thought he was on it a lot more against Brighton, and I think it was the pass for the fourth goal, wasn't it? And just as all-round play was a lot better, he was a lot better in possession, and he broke forward as well, a pace, I think that was massively important. Catching Brighton, maybe early on and then we're tired and legs, and I think we'll need that again against City. On the other side, Dwight McNeill has been in outstanding form, was absolutely brilliant against Brighton, obviously a couple of goals, set up an own goal and assist as well. And as all-round game was brilliant, and I spoke about it after the game, saying his defensive duties in the second half against Brighton were hugely important when Salimart came on. You can't underestimate how well he defended for us against Brighton as well in those moments on the second half when we were looking a little bit rocky when they had so much of the ball. And he's been brilliant at late-calf, you know. He's stepped up massively since Dice has come in, he's scored the goals, and we spoke a few weeks ago about someone grabbing hold of the situation and propelling us forward, and he's been doing that recently. You know, he's been fantastic, so let's hope that continues. And up front, Dominic Harvenlou, who I think has been another massive catalyst since he came back, his performance in the first half against Brighton was absolutely fantastic. Obviously helped set the first goal up, but for a player who didn't score in a 5-1 victory, he was magnificent. I know we went out the game a little bit in the second half as the game changed a little bit as I was when we dug in, but his performance in the first half terrified Brighton, and hopefully we see something similar against Manchester City on Sunday because he just makes the team completely different, completely different. He gives us a runner, he can hold the ball up, you know, his little spin turns that he's been doing recently, and he looks really, really fit, shown Dice massively gambled on his fitness, and let's just hope, you know, it pays off in the last three games. It's paid off so far with them coming back, but let's just hope he can get us over the line, and I'd love to see him get, you know, we can get three or four games, goals in the last three games, that would be huge because that would get us over the line. So that's my start there aren't any, no one's arguing with that team, nobody's arguing with that team. I don't care whether you think, oh no, I should come back. That is the team that be Brighton 5-1, that is the team that deserves to start in this game. So there you go. But you know, if you do want to argue with me, let me know in the comments.
