 Welcome to ToffeeTV, this is the Play Ratings Liverpool to Everton Neal, Felt more than this point in the night at Anfield, but before I get into the ratings I just wanted to, I just seen a few things on Twitter day and to be honest I never really read the comments on here before when I did my other videos so I'm not sure what people were saying I was trying to stay away from the comments as much as possible but I was just leading Twitter just off a couple of my tweets that I'd written and this is just me, right? And I think people who watch this or watch me know that if I say something I pretty much mean it like I'm not saying it I don't say things for effect, right? I've been in Evertonian for a very very long time and like I've seen people say things like berries made up, they got beat so you can moan about it right and all these kind of things which fine they come from dickheads who haven't got a clue about the channel or about like you know anything to do with us being Evertonians or whatever. But one thing that battled me about some of the comments is to me that performance tonight was embarrassing, right? Now that's fine if you have a different performance, you have different view on it but the reason why it was utterly embarrassing to me was because of the players didn't give a hundred percent. It's as simple as that the players did not give a hundred percent tonight as far as I'm concerned. They looked massively disjointed, they were all over the place, they didn't really seem to be much of a game plan. I couldn't see a game plan, I don't know if anyone else could see a game plan and from where from where I'm sitting as an Evertonian and where we are in the Premier League this idea that this idea that just because it's Liverpool and just because we are expected to beat them and just because we took three points off Arsenal somehow excuses players not given a hundred percent. Now if people genuinely believe they give a hundred percent fine but when people say it's not embarrassing that they give a hundred percent then I am completely baffled I am completely baffled by the situation. What do fans want? What do they expect? People want Everton to be better so why don't people want it to be better then? If you want Everton to be better why don't your expectations and why aren't your standards higher? I do not understand that and listen I've got no issue calling out our fan some of our fans who've got that because they don't seem to have a problem calling me out but why aren't people's standards like up here? Why don't people expect the minimum requirements which is given a hundred percent? Why are people's requirements that players fight for every ball and every tackle and everything on the pitch? Why do people let players get away with things just because we beat Arsenal or well we've got three more points than I expected to do. Why is that the mentality of the football club and if that is the mentality of the football club then there's no hope for us. There is absolutely nothing down for us if that's the expectation of our fan base that it's okay to not give a hundred percent because it was the amazing side of Derby and we haven't won one for ages we never win them. So what? I said on my last video that I sat here last year and we got beat 2-0 but I had a little bit of pride that we'd gone out and fought for in the game. Tonight I'm sitting here thinking that was a fucking shit show that was shambolic that to me is what we've been doing recently and that's by the way I'm not putting the blame on Sean Byche for that. I'm putting the blame on that for the players. I don't quite understand what we were trying to do but I don't understand that. I don't understand why anyone would go that's fine that's fine now on to Saturday. Like Saturday is not going to be. Why is Saturday somehow different? So it's fine not to give it a hundred percent tonight but you expect them to give it a hundred percent on Saturday. Why? Where does that come from? Where does that mentality come from? I do not understand that for one minute and I don't get out ask some fans let let people off and go oh like don't get me wrong you don't have to get personal you don't have to start pointing fingers at people go you're crap you're crap you you're crap leave that to me but I don't get that like tonight basically every single play it we're we're awful we're awful every single player and yet and yet you told it was it was a many-sided abbey and look what you're up against and it's like it's like our fans find excuses sometimes like I don't get it I don't I just don't get that at all and it's certainly not the way I think about football. My minimum requirement is a hundred percent and if they're not giving a hundred percent to them to me there is a squeeze because they're a professional footballer and if you can't go on the pitching give a hundred percent like they did against Arsenal then what is the point what is the point like you know it's a three eight no it's not a three eight it's not a three eight is it it's not three eight because there's three points on off a day and go out and get a level of performance that if the opposition beat you because they're better than you fine but if they beat you because you lay down in the mud then like why isn't he in it why don't fans have why don't some fans not why don't some fans have accountability why don't they have accountability and go that is a disgrace oh but you can't say that you'll hurt someone's feelings I'm sure show and I should be hearing a lot of feelings I just don't get that I don't really want to labor on the point but I just don't get why as a fan as some people in our fan base feel like that's acceptable and anyone who calls and says well it's not acceptable is somehow negative or oh look you're already having a go at your own dice I'm not having a go at your own dice she's been working with them for for a week two weeks are you I'm not having a go at them you know he's got what he's got he's got no strike yeah and he's got to put a kid in who's barely touched the ball in the Premier League still barely touched the ball in the Premier League and you know he's been you know dealt the hand he's got the cards he's got but I just don't get it I don't get why fans would go oh it's fine it's fine that to me is so weird so so weird that people believe believe think like that oh don't say not nasty about them got a big game on Saturday it's like well did a big game tonight where where are they they were pulling on exactly flying are they you know I think Liverpool were there for the taking but Liverpool are where tonight the most fragile they've been for a while maybe you've ever got stuck in a little bit that might have unnaved the fans on the crowd but the fans and the the fans and the team but the fans and the team were allowed to settle into the game quite nicely and start a playing good football because and because they remembered they will go place I just find I find it I just find it baffling I find it absolutely baffling that fans think like that I really do but hey how do you go let's get into the play right it's Jordan Pickford massive massive mistake for the goal face goal and apart from that was all right but obviously that's a huge huge moment in the game how that happened the don't know it was such a glaring bugger it was like three against one but that's such a glaring mistake to to let that to be so there's a fella there mate why you going over there like I don't quite understand that at all dead dead dead weird and if he hadn't done that he might have you probably would have added you know would have been a decent performance for all things considered very very strange very very strange yeah I've got to give Jordan pickford a three simply for that mistake shame is common tough knife is shameless the target and targeted them from the off you really did the target from the off everybody sort of knew from the off and they put pikes up against them and he really struggled to be honest we struggled on both sides to be fair but he really did struggle and you could see him just couldn't didn't know when to put the foot in or not to put the foot in yeah very yeah just not a great night for them give them give them a four and on the other side Michelin cow struggled massively against Salah struggled massively against Salah tonight and just got pretty much done every time Salah Adam Adam and yeah it wasn't a great knife don't you know you don't well against them in the past but tonight he just got destroyed by me if I'm quite honest so I've given a three and Tarkovsky probably is worse game for a while you know he's not being great that much recently he was he got he started off well and then he starts started to unravel a little bit and he started getting frustrated and giving stupid files away and I think Tarkovsky is one of those people you can get under skin a little bit and if you do the right thing and I just think he I just think I just think he struggled tonight you're dragged out of position and he towards the end he was just he was a bit like there's a couple of decent challenges he made think we made one from Salah later on to put the ball over but he just he looked a little bit ragged tonight to be honest and I've given my five Conacody one on if he's doing for the second goal I have no idea apparently didn't know he was there but if he's if you don't know he's dead and don't take the chance the balls going across your goal to put your foot through it just put your foot through it he looked a bit he looked ragged tonight and the problem with the whole back four there's no pace in it no pace in the back four at all so I think you know the face you look at the goal at the first goal place and I get back from a corner you know there was other times when they they allowed us to step up and then then the made let us set up spoon the trap and then try to get him in behind us and they're too slow they need they need to get God 3 in that back four and that to me would be in one of the one of the ideal scenario would be Patterson coming in right back in God 3 coming in at left back for me personally I've said this before people may disagree that's up to you I think you need God 3 space in the back four personally and I don't think Michelin Coe is good enough said before I'll say it again I just don't think he's good enough that's my opinion I think if you're looking for good good players then I just don't think he's good enough and that's what it's all about it's about better plays in your team prove your chances of winning games of football some people disagree some people agree that's up to you that's what I would say I just there's not enough pace in that back for for me there's just not enough patiently and it doesn't allow us to get up the field as kind of Cody I've given four and Ghana bit of Ghana Ghana defensively had his numbers are quite good for tonight and tackles and stuff like that and interceptions but he's given the ball away nine times and when he gives the ball away he gives the ball away in areas where the opponents I've got a free run on our defense defense and it's something he didn't do against awesome because he just didn't have the ball he got it and give it and that was it and again that's that thing of like this is this it's some of ways the way your team plays we don't want to be playing out the back we don't want to be playing into Ghana because we want to be playing it into the forward but if you haven't got a forward you can hold the ball up it dictates the whole track the whole way you play and I think again we've seen that a bit tonight Ghana as I said his tackles and his interceptions are good but he gives the ball away far too many times so if you look at his numbers from a defensive they look good they look strong but if he gives the ball away to them that's the problem and that has been the problem all season like last week he was just nipping in getting the ball giving it and moving tonight he was he was caught too much on the ball and on the midfield get look completely different today then they just look completely different so I've give Ghana a five and oh nana again couldn't really get into the game couldn't really stretch his legs again I thought they were both doing a really good job in my field tonight the way they controlled it all that experience again you're bringing someone like Fabinho back and Jordan Henderson you know seen it seen it all and done it all and know how it all fits together and our midfield and the components that make it just didn't quite the last week I think they were just allowed to do that job defensive job when I play forward tonight the ball was just so sloppy in there because they had almost too much of the ball and again I've given nana a five and Dakota yeah it was nowhere near as good as he was last week and just again it was niggly win the ball then he'd lose the ball and I've given my five to be honest as well and attacking players and Alex Ohoby again isn't his numbers aren't terrible if you look at his numbers in terms of attacking they're not a terrible they're not terrible but where's he playing you know is he hating them no he's getting the ball in the right areas not really but a decent ball in towards the end for that Tom Davis miss but is he really hitting the opposition and the answers no the answers no so you know he hasn't really done anything I've given a five Dwight MacNeill again played well against Arsenal thought he was pretty poor tonight to be honest and you know again it's that thing of trying to get the ball on his left foot and then you know good defenders will make it difficult for you do you know you want you want to take your left foot you know you can't go anywhere else so they just blocked blocked the left side of you they blocked the left hand side of you and I'm not sure what he was doing when the ball at the post and come back to him I just don't know why he didn't just smash it so he'd say back a goal but you look at the squad and say who's who's really making it difficult for him no one and I'll give him a four Ella streams and he won't I think he won't quite a few headers tonight I think the problem is though it's fine winning headers but if number one who you're adding the two are the rest of the team pushing up number two are the centre backs a lot letting you win the ball in the air because they know there's no one up there and he needs to learn how to hold the ball up not just you know flick the ball up or whatever flick the ball and he needs to learn how to hold the ball up make it stick that is the most important thing a centre forward who plays up on his own can do and he just didn't do that tonight and that's something I understand I understand the rationale of playing him he's a big lad occupied the two centre backs hopefully force a mistake there's a couple of times he got in the channels and did all right but what can you do from there what can you do can you hold the ball up and bring the rest of the team into the game and then once the team realised that you can do that they'll be a bit more brave we coming through you know I've seen someone on before say saying something to me on Twitter and well don't what did don do last week well what he did was he give us a platform to play off and then the players felt more felt braver pushing on because they knew he held the ball up it wasn't just coming back I got to get better at that and it's not the thing about is that we traditionally doesn't do that his numbers of someone don't suggest he's that kind of player so they're gonna have to work on him that week after week after week if he's gonna stay in this team and that might be a case of that's why that's why we you know he played because the manager might look at it and go well he'll play every week he'll play every week and he will we'll teach him how to do that and he'll have laying fun tonight because you know that's the he's only played once that man it was like in the Chelsea game where he did exactly the same job and I do feel sorry for him but he's got to lay on today he's not a child he's 22 years of age he's got to lay on how to do that side of the game it's great going he's just a kid how old's Harland you know how old's Nunes for them they're not there's not much difference he's got to learn how to play that side of the game if he wants to stay in the team there's an opportunity I listen don't could be out for weeks for all we know it's down in a car the moon he could be out for a month and if he came back along with he'd be back for the tactics have shown dice do not suit someone like me oh my they just don't and other than bringing in a free transfer we've got what we've got and that's due to the net board that we have so to me he's gonna have to learn that side of the game holding the ball keeping all of it bringing other people into play you know I'd be I'd be working on and I'm not saying he has to turn into a gold machine I'm talking about the basics the absolute basics of hold-up play which you'll see players doing in the championship and in league one you know people making art of this this is what get this is what teams are built round and so you've got to he's got to get better that I've given my five for tonight it was a thankless task and I really I thought I was gonna go off off off half time sorry but I think the manager probably just thought if you turn more minutes just to see how it goes and then obviously be conceded in that time and but that's something they're gonna have to work on work on because just throwing the ball or two and then gonna work I don't think his controls close controls good enough for him to get the ball down on the deck and trying to take people on it's not she's got the composure of course you're only gonna learn that from experience or whether you've naturally got it so they have to be working on them now to be to get them up to that to that kind of level but he's certainly not that kind of stiker and that's what I was trying to emphasize before this game is that he's he's not that kind he's not that kind of player so yeah tough knife for him now he'll learn from the experience and he knows that you know he's got it he's got the rest of the season hasn't he you know he's gonna be out of the starting games will come off the bench I imagine so he's gonna have to he's gonna have to start you know getting a grip of that for I see the subs none of them really made a huge difference my whole pie Greg Tom Davis I mean the only one who stood out was Tom Davis for that that header they're even header up on the shoulder I've given them all three they just didn't offer anything in the game that's all there you go disappointing results disappointing performance more than anything I wasn't really expecting anything tonight but I was expecting a hard working performance to match with what they've done against Arsenal and they didn't we didn't do that and and I'll be honest that's the most disappointing part of the night not getting beat I don't ever expect to go to Amfield and win or get anything if I'm perfectly honest but I do expect some kind of performance I do expect I do expect players to work hard I do expect us to match the levels of the opposition in terms of work rate and if that doesn't happen you're gonna get beat it's as simple as that Liverpool have got too many good players to not outweigh them you have to outweigh them it's as simple as that and that's what that's what annoyed me about tonight is that too many people didn't work hard enough or not it didn't work that enough and we looked all over the place and as I said this is not like this is not Liverpool in an amazing form is it this is Liverpool that we could have got at them tonight if we'd really been up for it and we weren't and we wilted and ultimately we just ended up looking like we bought up the game and like we couldn't wait to get off the after an hour we looked like we couldn't wait to get off the pitch and that's what was just sad tonight there's no we we looked like we had one tactic and it was basically set pieces and if that's what it's gonna be then it's gonna be it's gonna be a long three months so there you go let me know your thoughts in the comments mine are the only videos tonight because there's astros got a video there's astros videos but as is in on holiday and just isn't doing videos because he's
