 Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the instant match reaction at the villa 2, Everton Nill, utterly, utterly horrific performance by Everton tonight, they were absolutely shocking. Started the game quite brightly, first 10 minutes, half-heartedly, you know, do what we always do. When we attack, we do it like half-heartedly, like there's going to be a million chances in the game. And we do that all the game, by the way. Every attack Everton seemed to take or create or try and create. It's all half-hearted, and that was the story of the game tonight. The minute at the villa, put any kind of pressure on Everton at all tonight, Everton just felt a bit all over the park. Literally the minute you could see it, you could see the way they suddenly decided they'd have a go, and we just felt a bit. And as soon as that happened, they scored, and then that was it. That was it, because we are so predictive. Let's get this right now, right? Without Garnet, we cannot play that triangle anymore. We cannot play that triangle with three of the slowest players on the planet. Like, I love Andre Gomez, but without energy next to him, and he's just an average player. And tonight he was wasting an average player, he was absolutely shocking. Guilfrey Sigurds in the head of it here, they were once all the time in the world. And Snidlin, Snidlin, you know what you're going to get from Snidlin, and that's fair enough. But between those three players, there's no tempo and no energy whatsoever. And once Jack Grealish and John McGinn started to just get into their faces a little bit, that was it. That was Armoured Field gone. And once that happened, then the game was gone. Once they won 1-0, I just thought that's it, because we don't come from behind, we simply don't win games when we're behind. Away from home, we're dreadful, and it seems to be something that has not been addressed, because we've played two games, conceded one goal and scored none, and I've got a point to Palace and Villa away, which is just... I know it's only the third game in, but we can't even dig out results. And that was abysmal tonight. Like, all game, all, all we do, this is our tactic. Watch any ever-game, any ever-game for the last 12 months. And our tactic is, players in the middle get the ball, then they look to get it wide as fast as possible, and then we expect the wide men to just do something with it. We never get the ball and go through the middle of the park ever. And I don't know whether that's down to the strikers' movements or what, but we never, ever go through the middle of the park. And that's something that has to be addressed. I thought when a woby came on, we suddenly looked like we had the option of doing that. And for me, he's going to have to, you know, start playing, he's going to start playing games from the beginning of games, because we've got no energy in the middle of the park. And I'm sorry, but without a player, Gabam, apparently, he's going to be up for weeks now with an injury, and without a player in the middle of the park with some kind of energy. We've seen it last week against Wofford, we got lucky last week against Wofford, where he started overrunning us. He's got a lot of long balls, but he starts overrunning us. And tonight, just seeing there, a team with a little bit of energy will dominate our midfield. It's as simple as that, because we haven't got somebody with any... We haven't got someone like Ghana who can get round the pitch. And I know people will say, well, it was like this last year when we had Ghana. Yeah, but we're supposed to have got better. We're supposed to have better players now. So a woby for me has to start. You're going to have to find some way in that middle of the park for him to play, because he looks like the only player who's got any kind of energy. And then what that created was Bernard and Rich Arleson never really tried to get forward, because that's another thing we do. And you can see this early on in the game. We don't commit men forward. Andre Gomez never gets in the box. Snyderland never gets in the box. Guilfy Sigurd isn't normally just stands outside the box. When no one arrives late, so to get in there and base the goal, no one's the gap between Dominic Alvin and the rest of the players is too big that no one can get past Dominic Alvin. Dominic Alvin was crap tonight. And he had a really good chance faced off. He's just, to be honest, the kids just tried to get a connection on it and that shows what kind of player he is. He's just trying to get it on target rather than a really classy sense of forward would have sweep it into the bottom corner. But he isn't a really classy player. You know what you're getting from them. And in the coming weeks, I imagine starting from Lincoln, you'll probably see Keane start and then once, and then he's got to take that chance. But tonight was more than just that. It was all over the pitch. It's the tactics. The tactics are just wrong. Aston Villa had three shots on target, two they scored from and one the keeper made a save from. So they didn't batter us, but we were so bad that they looked like they battered us because Gomez, how many times Gomez kicked the ball out or gives the ball to them was unbelievable. You know, we've had one chance in the first half and one chance, well, two chances in the second half. Obviously, what we was unlucky to at the post and woke up at the end there. Jesus Christ. Just hit the target and it's in. It was an appalling performance and it just, it just shows that for what, for where we were thinking, well, you know, we'll only need a couple of things. No, we can't score goals. It's our biggest problem. Their goal was poor. It was a poor goal to concede. We stopped playing. The lad runs across Michael Keane. Michael Keane doesn't even know he's there and he finishes it well. And that's all they did in the first half and once they've done that, we looked shell-shocked. We looked, oh, we just plod. We plod, we plod around. We don't take care of the ball. We don't make runs. We don't, at half-time, get in there. He said, Everton look like a team that are just safe. They're just safe. They don't want to take that extra chance. They don't want to get extra men in the box just in case, in case someone breaks on them. And we are just a safe team. We'll win enough games at home that we'll finish between seven and 10. But we will not get in the top six unless we find a formula that helps, that means we score goals and also protect our back four. You know, we... That's what we've got to start doing. Now we've got to find a formula and maybe a woby is a big part of that and Moise Keane, I imagine, is a big part of that. But without summoning that into the midfield, who's got the energy to get round the pitch, it ain't going to work. It just ain't going to work because to get round the... That's why you want to... Anyone say, why do we want the corey? That's why you want to the corey. You want to the corey because he's a box-to-box midfielder. And midfielders are a box-to-box. There's three of them in the centre and none of them are box-to-box. Guilfy Siginton knocks round outside the box to the halfway line. And the other two go from three-quarters in our half to three-quarters in their half and that's as far as they ever get. So that's what the corey would have given us. We're not going to sink a batman now for I don't know how long, but he's obviously got an injury. We're going to have to deal with that, but something's going to have to change because we've already seen it in the three games. It's not a case of not being sharp and not being fit and all those things. It's a tactical thing. The amount of times we go wide, it's just so frustrating. It's like watching me in basketball, piss. It's like, because we're crap at it. Get it wide, we'll throw an insult, that might happen. And teams, they wake you out pretty quickly. We just don't have enough dynamism in the middle of the park. And for me, Ville, I just had more energy than tonight. More energy and that's won them the game. It's as simple as that, but we've got to find something because that was pathetic. That was absolutely pathetic. And it was, wasn't it? It was just awful, just an awful, frustrating performance and you can't go, oh, well, we were unlucky because if this had happened and that had happened. No, no, no. Good teams make enough opportunities that if you have off chance, if you have a few off chances, you'll make another chance. We don't. We just don't make chances. We make a handful of chances and then we don't have anyone who has got the class to just put it in. And they did tonight. They had the class, the first goal and the second goal. Both good finishes. We still look well short. The mad thing is that we're banking on our defense to keep us out of trouble and, you know, it doesn't matter if you do the best defense in the world, you're still going to make mistakes here or there. And our defense has done all right tonight. They've just made one crucial error, really. Okay, maybe I've made a couple more, but one crucial error has cost us the game, really. We can't afford that to happen. We're supposed to be a team that we've had that year where we've bettered in, you know, the transition. This is supposed to be where we kick on. Well, to me, we're miles away from kicking on because we're just, we're erratic and we're not composed and we don't control games and we don't keep the ball well enough. And also, one other thing, we're so slow in possession as well. It's like boom, boom. It's supposed to be bang, bang, bang, bang. Face 10 minutes, that's what it was like Bernard and Dean, bang, bang, bang, bang. It's got to be like that all over the park. It's got to and it's not and it's poor and that was crap and that has ruined my weekend because how bad it was. Absolutely shocking performance. And the Lincoln game next week is a big game for the likes of a Wobby and the likes of Moise Keane. Get starts and see, you know, get yourself in the team because you need it because we, we, as much stays the same, you know, as much things to, you know, change it's other the way around. I'm just, I'm just really pissed off with that because it's just, it's just, there's just so much needless crap. We had the amount of times we should have played into their hands as well and we're supposed to be the seasoned Premier League team and the amount of times we fell into the traps that they created for us were just unbelievable and yeah, just utterly, utterly crap and I'm just really pissed off and it's the first time for a while I've been really pissed off with it and their performance. The last, well, it was like, it was like fun. It was like, it was like that. It's just like, oh, you know, we'll just, we'll just do what we want and utterly, utterly crap and the manager's got to find solutions because the first three games, we haven't played well in any of them. We haven't, we just haven't played well. We didn't play well against Wofford. We didn't play well against Crystal Pass. We just, we were functional and we did enough. Tonight we've been tested and we just felt a bit. So, some things need to change. Decisions need to be made and by the time we play our next game against Wolves at home, which will be a very, very tough game, there needs to be a change of shape or ethos or something because that wasn't good enough tonight. And that's not me going, oh, we've been beating on it, blah, blah, blah. It's the first three games you can see. You can see, you can see it and it's just all come to the surface tonight. That's all.
