 Welcome to ToffeeTV, it is the final word, Everton won, Monaco, Neil, Everton's second game, final game in Switzerland. Gives us that win, we've all been craving the pressure off Marco Silva. Had I been building on to it? No. You know, this is what it is, nice little run out in a beautiful spot in the Swiss Alps with Everton getting that victory from a shameless Coleman Heather, Heather, brave off a piece of magic from Oomanias, who has all the hallmarks of getting 25 Premier League goals this season. Just throwing it out there, Bas. Didn't have that extra two beers before he lost the game. I don't know if I've had any sleep in four days. Yeah, it was a good win, our first win since the 22-0 victory against Erding, last season. Our first pre-season win, I should say. What a place, what a place to visit, incredible, what a place to play football, what a place to pay £7 a pint. Well, £7, Swiss francs, £5.40. That's Sam, I mean, that's his time I mean, literally, Sam. Now, what a good result, opposition up a level again. And a clean sheet, another clean sheet. Stechlemag rolling back the years as well, doesn't it? Yeah, got full Mick Hucknall. He was, he was. No, I thought again, you know, whatever you're thinking on Carrier-Bangershark, it happened. It happened. And then we went up a level, I thought, against Seon. And we went up another level against Monaco, and we looked better. Each time the opposition got better, each time and everything. We're comfortable after the, obviously, the two good saves, Stechlemag, made the first half after that. It was quite a comfortable victory, but it was good. Yeah, it was, obviously, players played a lot longer in the game, a lot getting, a lot more time. There was less, less of the mass substitutions. I don't know whether some of those players who started will have a, will not start on Wednesday night and, you know, so more of the squad. But saying that, you know, there's not, to be honest, there's not much of the squad at the moment. It doesn't, it's dead weird how thin the squad feels. But yeah, I don't know, it's just, it's obviously we got the, it's because the attacking players are not involved with Charleston and Dominic Harbour-Lewan, and obviously we've got Jeri Meehan's comeback and... Towson's injured as well. Towson, yeah. Whatever you think of it, he's in the squad as well, he's not available. It does feel thin now, and obviously with, with the likelihood of goings in the next week, you've got to get numbers in. Oh, not panic or anything, it just, it just feels within, that's all. But I think, I think like from the, from the team the other day, obviously, we couldn't have gone or go. You know, they weren't involved anyway, they saw it out of that. You know, getting Calvert-Lewan, getting the Charleston, getting Towson back, and Jeri Meehan back. Boosts all those numbers. Doesn't have the quality within that. But yeah, you still need, you still need four, also. No Delph involved. Delph! Hands. I've seen, I think, before we went, an interview with him after training in the archival cast, and he was asked, whoever he was interviewing him, I don't know if it was Robert Bayer, and he said, you're looking forward to making your debut, and he said I don't know whether I'm going to be playing, because I've not, I'm stepping it up. So I had a feeling he mightn't be involved anyway, come out and be seeing him, then Meehan is having a walk around with Bayer, so it was evident that he wasn't going to be involved in the thing. But I fully expect him to make his debut at Wigan on Wednesday. He should have stepped it up again by then. But I think looking, just looking at the team, that, you know, a fair team as you played the other night, you know, Michael Keane played a full 90, and I thought it was very good again. I mean, he's, he's, he's gone up levels, he's made himself. I thought, look at the, look at the game played in 19, I thought, I've just got that folly off the corner. What a strike that was. Was that an act, it wasn't the other game, wasn't it? It was on Sunday, it was on Friday when we were watching, yeah. Was it? Yeah. It's not working. No, it isn't. And that comment, we were like behind it, weren't we? Well, we were like level with it. Oh, yeah. I'm just all over the game. Yeah, yeah. We, he got those minutes under his belt, Bernard, obviously, played a large course in the game and looked, you know, still, you can still see he's not on it yet, but that will have done him good. Because it was, it was absolutely boiling there, wasn't it? It was. Well, it wasn't that it was boiling, it was like, it was a really, really intense heat, wasn't it? Like, on the pitch. Yeah, yeah. It was really at the pitch, on the pitch, and it wasn't even at that time, like six o'clock. It was so hot. And it stayed hot as well, so. But they'll benefit. No, no. They are out of tune and being able to, you know, sustain that thing. But I thought, I think, you know, when you think in back about the game, I think, like you say, Michael Jean, very, very impressive for me. You know, when you look in the van, the first scene, Shane has had a good run out, you know, scored it, like you say, brave with the goal. So, you know, again, it's, it's what's really weird. It's not weird, but I suppose what's difficult from the manager's perspective will be as we move forward. We've got the game against Wigan, which again, we've talked about intensity wise, quality wise, it won't be a step up, but intensity wise, it will. 9,000 Evertonians there will demand it. It steps up anyway. But then we go to Mints on Saturday. So it's going to have to be two teams again because it's a 60 minute thing. By the time we go to Brennan, which is our last month, you're probably only then going to see the semblance of the team that's going to go and play Crystal Palace. And then, even when you look at that, whether Rituala's not being involved in the Brennan game, because you know, Jeremy, he's back today. Yeah. Dominic, I thought he was back today. And Rituala's either Friday or Monday, he's back show, whether he plays any part of Brennan. But then again, he'll have only had a couple of weeks off, only. Yeah. You know, so his fitness levels haven't played. Yeah, it's more about actually managing him during the season, making sure he gets time off here and there, you know, because he'll need it. That's the thing more than anything. I don't think it really matters whether he'll come back in. He'll be fine. It's just that it's making sure he gets the rest when he needs it. And he won't necessarily be getting the rest off now. The rest, because he's on holiday, as such, he won't necessarily be getting the kind of rest they think he should have. So it's just about managing them when they're right when they can't come back. But listen, it is what it is. It was a good run out. The levels stepped up again. Tofabre gas was good, still, just like spraying the ball on. It's always that sound, isn't it? The pace of the game wasn't exactly intense, but for us, we've just had a really solid week over there. And just by being there, I mean, listen, when that match was on, I had a six-pack of water. You can confirm that. I was literally the sensible person. I went to the shop and bought a six-pack of one and a half litre bottles of water and took them down to the game. So while everyone else was bevy and I had all this water, making sure everyone was hydrated during the match. I mean, I had a pint when I was down there as well. But I made sure everyone was high. You did, didn't you? No, I didn't, did I? No. No, I was drinking water, yeah. I had had enough by then. Yeah, I only had one. But so we were all drinking water, making sure we were drinking water all the time because it was boiling hot. And those players have trained on that all week and have played a couple of games. So they will be fit and they will be sharper. What did you make of Trondave's performance and stuff when he came on? Because I thought he was bright in that set. Yeah, and he had a couple of chances. Didn't he put one just over in the bar as well? So, yeah, I mean, it's hard to say anything about the way that you play, I think, at the moment. I mean, there was some lovely moments, like the pass from Gomez, that gun. The first round. Just those little moments that you can identify. But in terms of like putting the ball together and the moves and all that kind of thing, it's still not there, yeah. And obviously Pickford not being involved as well means that there's less of the ball going out, you know, as fast as it normally would. And again, I'd say just a faintness of exercise. Bro dead and obviously Gibson played again. I mean, what did you think about them? I thought Gibson was very good. I think, and how he gave the penalty, he got done for the penalty and the experience, you know, sliding in there. Instead of just rolling back with the lad and just being on him, showing his inexperience by sliding in and giving the penalty. And as we said, Martin Stechelmaid made a brilliant save from the penalty. Other than that, I thought he did very well. I think he looks very good. And I thought he did very well. I think he looks physically like he can handle it. I think he's nice on the ball. Inexperience will obviously only come with playing more games. Nathan Brode, I think he's nice and bright. He's lively. Blacks are fine on the ball. Yeah, he gets into good areas, but nothing seems to come from it. Yeah. Again, I've said it before and there's probably an unfair comparison, but he's the same age as with the others. So that, to me, says a lot of things. I think what it does, sometimes when people say those kind of things, sometimes you're right, but at the same time, I think someone with the Charleston has benefited from being thrown into a situation when he was younger in Brazil. Who's actually younger than him? Brode, no, no, I'm saying those players sometimes have the benefit from being thrown into a first-team situation and sometimes they can just be simply down to circumstance. I'm not saying he's better than Adam, because, of course, he's not, but it shows how important development is and how important it is. Like I said, he's bright. He's got something he's quick and he works very, very hard. You can understand why. He loves him because he's a full... But we've had this conversation loads of times about players and going out and playing football when they're young and some teams just playing players and you can see that, if you stop them developing, why they end up being 21... What I'd like him to do is I'd like him to go home and then have a look at him once he's played in a men's game regularly. You know what I mean? He's done very well last season at 23 level, he's done alright there with the lad. It's when people look at him and go, he could be the... For me, he's nowhere near level because we need to be you know, the child is not behind at a level of player and you know, we're looking at other wingers and stuff, we're away so if you get him out on loan and playing games at league level whatever that may be, he may go up another level then and then. I do find that interesting though going on to Lewis Gibbs, you know that he you know, if nothing changed he looks like he would be that centre back who would be next in line. I mean, what do you... We've talked about Morgan for a long time but he's back with you under 23 Lewis Gibbs and just by the simple fact that he's left sided he's played him in games, I'm not saying he'll be there. What do you make of him? I'd have said the other week going to Kenya, Holgate was well above him and then there we are Lewis Gibbs and he's played all three games. Is it not Mason ever even gone on the other day? Does that not come down to just the balance, the fact that he can play like that? No, that's what I'm saying. I'm just asking you. No, that's what I'm saying. Do you think he's leapflogged above Holgate? No, I don't think so and I think... Or do you think he knows what Holgate can do unless you just have a look at this? But he can't do that though, can you? You haven't got the right to do that at this point. So do you think it is just literally about having a left footer in there? The balance, do you think? Maybe with him and Holgate but I think he's made his man look better than Feeney. Do you know what I mean? Because I do think that, what I would say is I think with having someone like he in there I do think that allows you to have not necessarily in the Premier League it does allow you to have that kind of player next to him in these kind of games so you're laying a lot playing. I just thought it was interesting that because I'd have said like Mason's definitely one of the centre backs for now until we get on and all of you didn't even get on the other day. You might have had a title or whatever but you don't know. It's interesting that he's still involved. If he goes to Mike, well I think he'll probably go to. If he'll go to Mike, he'll probably stay. He's not missing out on anything, not playing is he? No, so it'll be the decision will be made after next weekend I suppose what happens with him. I thought he's done very well, so far he's done very well. He's shown his inexperience with the penalty there because really it's one of them that I imagine someone who are more senior player you have to just say there you've got past me and let all the defenders deal with it. What he's done is he's almost made that latch which isn't required and it's only a friendly so it's not required either. You just let, you put trust in your goalkeeper I mean at the end of the day what does the lad do? The lad throws it in. You've got defenders who deal with it and you've got a goalkeeper who can hopefully deal with it you just put it down to experience you don't jump in like that but no, it is what it is and it's sort of like the last two now aren't the homebies homebies got Joe Williams. I mean I don't know whether he was injured but then I think he had him training then he showed like the open thing and he didn't care and I thought he might have tried him but I don't know when he started again he was high up the pit so there was a couple who maybe the manager just looked at him and gone I suppose, I suppose but I suppose as well game played Friday weekend off back in probably today or tomorrow today I think and then game Wednesday so really those two games in terms of recovery a lot of those players might play I'm not saying they won't I'm just saying that they like to walk off might start and they like to where the switchable positions those other players might play just to get everyone up to the level head of Saturday where there's two 60 minute games and then Friday week after week you're probably looking for your best 11 to the team, I should have mad him all now so because obviously you've got you've got picked and less exactly, well wait listen it is pre-season it is all about fitness, nothing else really at the moment, we're not really worried about Indians but it is just interesting to see who he's using and who he isn't using from the 123s and I thought he should have shot he opened his body up like he does and I thought he would just roll he pulled it back and walk off didn't he I thought he just knocked himself and he's doing his best to make sure he's trying to score the madest goal for that he's just funny to watch he doesn't give them a minute though he's in season if you had actual quality a little bit more quality because he sets the tone with his way right but he just hasn't it's the finesse isn't it it's not at that level it's that little bit of finesse you can't doubt it's hard for you he's the kind of player who does find himself in the right place at the right time but does the wrong thing he's always around the action isn't he he's just one in the first half way he got knocked over and he got a touch and he went to like hook it around the keeper and kick it backwards if you just had anything to buy you just go to his positions don's loving the carriers videos isn't he he's trying no top on and whipping them top he's going all the time he stops sending videos of his training he's ready he's showing you he's ready to be fair that to me shows that he wants to be it was a fantastic experience for us we had a magic and just tiredness just tiredness is just killing us recovery time didn't find the players we need recovery time it was a brilliant trick the place was amazing players seen Baines before and Michelley came over and got happy to get pictures with us give him his time up so that was really nice Michael Silver after the game and I was seeing him and he asked if my nephew was Sheth and if he would shred you forever brands from that point of being that close to the place was really interesting wasn't it normally to buy all the other stuff so it was really interesting nice chopping there you go after the game Andre Gomez coming out with this pizza he jumped in the car Towson jumped in Towson came out with a security guard realised he'd forgotten something had to come back without the security guard and go through all the other Towsonians and then come back but fair play to him he got pictures with everyone and there was no issues with that and Maralesh stays out into a car gone so it was really really interesting lovely place though hell of a place what a place you'd imagine that day will go there for a few years because and we'll be going there for a few years but by plane and PSV were there two weeks ago so they still use it so it's a lovely place to get fit and it's difficult conditions as well so you will get fit but brilliant trip thanks to Hans Tors we had a laugh my back wasn't laughing on the way home but it was good do you know what Han have you watching next time I reckon we have a slightly smaller coach with one with tables what do you think something like that what would you just lean I wanted the one that was next to us that double one with the tables and the toilet and the kitchen just tiny planes, trains and all those mobiles on a toilet the cable car cable car was amazing wasn't it I don't even like heights and that normally was because I hadn't had sleep I'd had a couple of beers and I'd be fine and no sleep, my fear went straight in and it was great but what the fella with the biggest lawnmower by and on the side of the mountain like that incredible incredible scene so much happened and we were only there for like 8 hours we were on a diet 1150 for taking nuggets and chips that were literally the nicest food I've ever had for the reason that we hadn't eaten since the night before we were on a day trip, that took 3 days that's the only way to explain it like yeah it took us 18 hours to get home I was sitting there Saturday night and I realised I hadn't been to bed since Wednesday and I was like all the days just made into one and then people were like where did you sleep and we never went to sleep and I got a few out we sleep at different times because it was dark and we hadn't slept since Wednesday night and on Wednesday night we had about 4 hours of sleep it was funny though it was good and it was amazing to see so many blues dead anyway it was good seeing Luka Dean just trying the fans out I'm not surprised every single person you're like you travelled alone together it was like 21 hours thank you, thank you so much thank you as he got on his coat and was on the plane the best thing before we go we were home at half 11 on Friday night we just shut off from baby on the coach that was going around the corners like it was in the Italian job we're in the self-preservation society I was like that I decided at that point to try and go closing my eyes and just hope that anyway there you go one more nail sound she was coming hero let us know your thoughts in the comments about this game and anything else have
