 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the player ratings Everton 1, Bournemouth, Neil Everton, Survive, again, we are like cock roaches, we are becoming like cock roaches of the Premier League, we cannot be killed, yeah, highly charged, highly emotional day at Goddison Park, we all went through it again, didn't we? Got down to the ground about, it was about quarter past two, lots of people there, lots of people there, the atmosphere was building nicely, so nice to just see so many people and like in a sort of happy mood before they had to go inside the ground. go inside the ground. So Kevin Campbell on the on the Gothersome Road, he got absolutely swamped by everyone when he got to the Winslow. But it was good to see him and speak to him before that. And then you could just feel the tension building and building. I actually got in the ground at like four or past three, something like that, when he passed three. Just because I just I just needed to just be in there and not walking about or being in a pub or doing anything else to be honest. I just needed to be in the garden and just like collect myself and have a sit down or whatever. It was it only really sort of hit me today. Well, not hit me and known for a long time, but obviously hit me today because it was today. And I tried to keep my emotions in check till today, which I think I did quite well actually. Yeah, fans were amazing, as you'd expect before the game. The game ebbed and flowed with the emotions. But obviously when everyone here had less, they were winning. It just went very flat for a little bit. And then obviously you sort of reset with half time and you come out and you get a little bit of energy. And then obviously the goal winning and the goal was just the goal was just unbelievable. It was just a it was just such an instantaneous moment. Such an instantaneous moment. It just sort of left his foot and you didn't have any chance to even draw a breath. It was in the back of the net before. Sometimes goals are really slow going in. This one was just instantaneous. It was in the back of the net before you knew. And then Lester had got the second goal, which just happened just a little bit after or around the same time. Luckily enough, there wasn't loads, certainly not in the gladysly. There wasn't loads. There wasn't loads of people worrying about that, or it was just like the winning. Yeah, yeah, okay, sad. But obviously at that point, being them to being tune up, it was a case of what we knew we had to win then it was it was do or die. And I thought I thought for the most part we dealt with them quite well. We didn't really have too many more chances, sadly, to put the stamp on it. They brought that other fella on who's name escapes me, the big Welsh fella. And he did cause a little bit of trouble for us when he came on. He did cause keep him all that. That's right. He did cause a little bit of trouble for us. And obviously the ad, there was one work got cleared off the line and then there was the one that the save by Pickford in in the 10. I mean, it was going to be like quite a long injury time because of because of the injuries of Pickford where it looked like that Dominic Slanky had, what a little yeah, what a little so and so he is by the way. But we got through that and there's a lot of long balls but we dealt with it. We didn't really create loads. It was a typical Everton game this season where a game where we think we're better than the opposition. We huff and puff and we don't have that little bit of quality. But I can't fault any of the players today. I thought every single one of them stood up for stood up and won every like little 50 50. And if he didn't win it, he made it horrible for the opposition. And they were niggly and they got in the faces and they took the file rather than let the pace and getting a run. And I thought all over the pitch we were, we were, we were good today in terms of that. Someone has just asked me to sing Dwight McNeill to the tune of Mr Plough. Dwight McNeill, Dwight McNeill that name again is Dwight McNeill. There you go Glenn. I'll sing anything. I'll sing anything today. I mean, you give me a super chat so I will. So I think, I think the issue today was again, we're not really set up to play wingbacks because they're not wingbacks and they didn't really know what they were doing as such. So we didn't quite have at times the defensive stability but then other times we didn't have the attack and stability, but I thought both of them done really, really well. But yeah, it was, as I said, you can't fault anyone today. Every single person worked their bollocks off. Every single person put a shift in. Everyone that has been slagged off all season put a shift in. I thought the back line by maybe a couple of moments were unbelievable. Connor Cody, unbelievable considering he hasn't played for ages. Yeri Mina, calm and calculated. Well, I'll tell you what, it's the player ratings. Let's do our player ratings. John Pickford, unbelievable save. Unbelievable save. I thought he was a couple of times just stupid little kicks that put us in, not put us into trouble but just give the possession back to them. But that save is a 10 out of 10 save. I don't care what anyone says. You're in the time minute of a game that you know you must win. You know you can't concede and you get to the save, stood up for himself as well a few times with Salanki and them just trying to be a little bit clever but what a save that is. And again, it might look at it, you might go well, it's a good height and all that kind of thing. It's the 95th minute of the game in a game where you must win and he's pulled that out, hasn't he? Unbelievable, just unbelievable save. The centre backs. James Tarkowski, solid dependable. One little issue in the first half where he tried to be clever and he had the ball taken off him. We had to make sure we got back and I can't remember who it was, it might have been Yeri, I don't know, but apart from that quite solid, very aggressive as well. That was really important to me, it was really, really aggressive as well. So James Tarkowski, I'm going to give him an eight. Connor Cody, the fact that he came back into the side and I loved it. I thought he had a good game, cleared one off the line. Is into you after the game is brilliant for a guy who that probably is his last ever game. Unless Evan can get a really good deal for him from walls. Listening to him after the match, we've been too direct talking like he was at the club last season, like it was his fault. What we've been through, this club doesn't deserve it, we, we, we, we. This is a lad who's been left out the side under the manager, which probably means he's going to go back to walls, going to see basically his perfect move because it is his perfect move. Playing for a club in the city that he lives in, his kids go to Finch Farm. Oh, you know, he lives about 20 minutes away from, from, from Finch Farm, all these things. It's the absolute perfect move for him. I just love his interview is fantastic, absolutely fantastic. Now, whether they take up the option, I don't know. They don't have to and Evan don't have to have a good look at it. Am I sitting here saying we should buy him? No, not certainly not. We have to have a good look at everything. But I just, that's what I mean though is his last game and you could just see how much it meant to him and you, you, you, that to me is, that's so important in a game like that. And again, I'm not like, you know, I've, I've torn strips off every player this season, of course I have. But I'd rather, yeah, I'd rather keep on a coldy than Michael Keane and Mason Hogg. If we, and, and then we're going to be coming back, that could be your three. I don't know, but I don't, you're playing today. Again, I'll give him an eight. Just again, leadership and everything else. So, yeah, we'll see what happens. But I mean, it wasn't looking, it wasn't looking like it was going to be on, but we'll see what happens. But playing game for me. Yeri Mene, I'm actually gutted that it's Yeri Mene's last game, even though, even though he's got injury problems and all the rest of it, wouldn't it just be, wouldn't it just be typical 11 if Yeri Mene now went away, signed for someone and he just played 35 games next season? Yeri Mene is a class above, really is. He's top defender, very calm, he's, he's, he's dogged. He's definitely got years left in him, but I understand you can't, you can't sign him and people will say, well, why not a paper play? Would you want a paper play for you with him when someone else might be off in the middle of the deal? He'll get a good deal somewhere like taking, no problem, no problem. He's still a top defender. And what are lapping is? What are lapping is? He'll go away somewhere, he'll play consistently. And I bet you're in January, some like top clubs are looking at him to come back to the Premier League. It just wouldn't surprise me at all because he's such a good defender, but he is injury prone. I think he's played something like 45% of the games he, at 11 that he could, that he's been in. It doesn't mean I'm not allowed to like the fella. I think his attitude is fantastic. His injuries have just cost us a day is it fault? No, I don't think the, I don't think the artist fault. I think he wants to play, but his body just has broke down on him many times. We've got him in the side in the last few games and we've, we've looked so much better. And I think that if he'd been in the side against Leicester, we wouldn't have been in this position today. So by the way, I'm not, I'm not hard cut. I haven't had to drink. I don't drink. I come home safe after the match and I'm just exhausted by it. I'm absolutely just exhausted by it. I don't drink. I stopped drinking six months ago. So everyone's gone out. My family have gone out. I've come home to, to, to do my work. So which, which is, I wouldn't have it any other way. This is what I am my living from, but I'm just exhausted. Honestly, I am shattered 10 months, 10 months of this, 10 months of distress. And I know everyone has to, everyone has to deal with that. But no, Yeri, Yeri is fantastic. I'm going to give, I'm going to give Yeri a nine. I'm sad that his last game is such a, such an important, could be, could have been such a, such a player, but sadly. And I really hope whatever he goes, he has a brilliant rest of his career. I really do. Because I just think he, he's the kind of fella, he came out in the ingenious when all the kids were, when all the kids were all over him and saying, you know, when he said I'll give my life on it. I, I generally think you look at him and he just, you look at him and just think. Yeah, honestly, honestly. I'll give him a nine. James Garner, I think James Garner was, I thought he was brilliant today. I thought he was brilliant last week. I think his attitude again, his attitude is absolutely spot on, spot on. It's the kind of attitude of a player who wants to play. It's the play, kind of, I want to play in this team. And I think that's maybe in the last few weeks when the managers looked at it and gone, I'll have to find somewhere for them to play. And he asked, I thought he was, his attitude and he reads the game really well. The back few times he tried to put his ball over his head knowing that the wide lad was at the pace on him. But he, he read that every time. He's very calm in possession. Said the last few weeks, there's a player in there. There's a player, his attitude and the way, the way he wants to play. There's a player in there. And hopefully over the next, over the next season, we, we see that more as maybe a Disagana guy plays less games. If it's an O'nana, I can't imagine an O'nana is going to be at the football club next season. But we'll see more and more of Mowfury. So bring it again. And playing right wing back in a position, which is not his position. It's not his position. But we'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see what, what happens with him next season. But he looks at, he looks, you know, he's put in the last few weeks. He really has put so much effort and work rating. So I'll give him eight and a half. Dwight MacNeill on the other side, again, worked his bollocks off today. Obviously it, it stops him being creative, doesn't it? And I thought, I thought he didn't really get up that much. He put some crosses in, but they ain't great crosses, but he just worked his backside off and you can't ask for any more. You just can't ask for any more. And the last few weeks of the season again, he's been somebody who's put it in and really helped. The levels have gone up and when the levels go up, then the next person, next person to you has to take the level up. And I think he did that. He's been doing that in the last few weeks. So fair play to him. Dance on the Super Chessers. The one thing I absolutely don't want to see is any match. I can't tell you, many things blocked here. Any match or murals of tonight? Can, can we be relieved, relieved but not celebrating tonight will be pathetic. Spot on mate, spot on. I think you saw that in the ground where people running on the pitch, people weren't happy about it, who stayed in the stands. This is not a moment for celebration. This is a moment for reflection, relief and hopefully going on next season to hopefully being a little bit better because we have to be better otherwise we're going to be back down there again. In the midfield, I just, again, again, I thought it was brilliant today. I thought he won every single battle, every single battle he was in. I thought he won. I thought he kept control really, really well, always getting a footing, always leading by example. I was just looking here, sofa score, which is the stats thing I use giving man of the match for us with a 7.6. The stats are slightly random at times. You do, you do look at them sometimes. It's all based on, it's all based on passes and all that kind of stuff. Passes and that kind of stuff. 53 touches for a Dysigana guy, which is quite a lot for him actually, but we were playing at home in a must win game. 8 out of his 13 ground, Jules won. Interceptions, 3 tackles, 7. Clearances, 2. Big, good numbers then for a Dysigana guy. But his numbers are always good. His numbers are always really good. So, again, I thought he was good. He led, again, another one who led by example today, just getting in there, getting his footing and making sure nobody could get past them. And that's all it was about today at times. Just making sure that no one could get past them. So, I'll give him 8.5. I have to like the core, the goal scorer. He'll never score. He only had 36 touches of the ball. He'll never score. He'll never score a better goal than that. It was hit so clean here. Come on, when I rewatched it live, the video of it live from the game. And Gary Neville thought there was a deflection on it, but no. It was so clean, such a clean hit. And it flew past the goalkeeper before he could even move. It was an unbelievable strike. I can't give the core anything less than a 10 because he is now down in Everton Folklore, like Dominic Harvenloon last season and Garry Fowlerly and Graham Stewart. These are not good things to be remembered for, but that's just the way it is, isn't it? That is just the way it is. No, his goal was superb and I thought he played well in general. I thought he would play well in general like everybody else, but the goal was unbelievable. And he'll dine out on that one for many, many years to come. I'm going to do on that again, just worked hard, got us foot in, never made the mistake like he did last week of letting people get past them. Always got a foot in, kind of get a slide. Even doubt a slide tackle, that's basically what I don't know how I did today. He actually made three tackles, one interception. He won six of his eight ground joules, four of his seven eight little joules, and again very, very good. Plays the game at his own pace. I'll give him that. He can be a little bit infuriating at times. Many years playing that kind of slow pace, but done his job, done his job. I'll give him eight. Alexio Wobie worked hard for the team, every single play worked hard. Was trying to, was trying to often put in clever little passes. They didn't really work, I'll be honest, not old crosses. They put a bit of shape on them. They never really worked, but he worked hard, so I don't know. There's not much more I can say. I can't really remember. He got one three of his four ground joules, one of his aerial joules, but he just worked hard, closed down, got in people's faces, made sure it was hard, made it really hard for them. That's all you can do. He had two dribble attempts both successful, no shots on target, no shots off target. Again, as I said, Alexio Wobie an eight, and Damari Grey. Difficult, very, very difficult for him playing on front on his own, but I thought he worked hard. I thought he worked hard to win files. I thought he worked hard to hold the ball up. I thought he worked hard to just bring other players into the game. It's not natural for him to be playing on front on his own, and you can't exactly just launch the ball to him and expect him to win it in the air. Damari Grey seven and a half, done his job. Difficult for him, but he done his job. Ellis Sims was the only sub, wasn't he? How long was he on the pitch? 14 minutes. Did he only have one touch? Ellis Sims. I'll give him a seven because we won, and it's great, isn't it? I think that's everybody. I think that's everybody. If I've left anyone out, please tell me in the comments. We got the three points. Is it a day for celebration? No, it's a day to celebrate staying in the Premier League for relief, but it ain't a day to celebrate. It's a day to forget tomorrow and demand change, and we can't fall into that trap that we fell into last year where we thought, oh, this is all great. This is all brilliant. Blah, blah, blah. No, two months now, I've got hard graft. Sean Daish needs to know straight away what he's got for next season. If you need to sell onane, then sell onane. Have your list and go and get your players, or try and get your players now, and get this team strengthened. Get some quality into it, get a centre forward, get some full backs, get a creative infielder, but go and do it now. Build out the squad, get some youth into it, get some quality bars, but not like for 20, 30 million quid. Get some quality bars from abroad where you're bringing them in and they're going to help your squad be better and more consistent. Personally, keep hold of the manager. No point sach on him. He's done the job he was asked to do. Just leave him in there. This is not over by any means. This isn't over in terms of if we don't get stability and get some good players, then we're in trouble. We're going to lose some players. The players who basically were all out of contact, they imagine I'll go. Shameless, we'll probably get a new contact, but I imagine everyone else will go with the other meaning we already know is going. Like Sir Tom Davis, obviously the core, they're saying. As I said then, Conoco, you're not sure because of his own loan. Get some quality into this team for God's sake. Enough quality. That means that we're going to get 40 points by April and just get it sorted as soon as possible. Get the people out the boardroom, get new people, get new energy, get new ideas and let's not do what we did last summer where we went. Oh well, we'll just go again. We'll go again and bring in some, you know. Oh yeah, Dom will be fine. No, we won't. No, we won't. Dom is not going to be fine. He is not going to be fine. He breaks down after four or five games. He's not going to be fine. Get rid of Mopey. Go and get a proper strike up front. That's what has to happen. If it doesn't happen, we'll be back here next season. It's as simple as that. There's so many good teams now in the Premier League. Excuse me. There's too many good teams now in the Premier League. We need quality. Branthwaith come back as well. Opportunity for him. Hopefully the manager uses him. That has to start tomorrow. Simple as that. Simple as that. So me and Baz will be doing more on this, obviously. Not next week because Baz is not all day. But the week after, I imagine. I mean, there's no point saying this can't happen again because it shouldn't have happened again. It's fourth time now I've been involved. It's fourth time I've been involved in this now. And it's just ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous. And I'm just sick of going to match. I'm sick of going to match like the last game and being worried about myself and my family and the people around me and it's garbage. It's absolutely garbage. And it really wouldn't take that much. It really wouldn't take that much. But what it needs is for people to get their heads out their arsers to understand what the situation is. Now that's why I would not get John Deish would be the manager next season for that reason, because he knows that. He's a pragmatist. He knows the situation. So start from that point. Let him and Kevin fell, we'll get on with the job and all those other people stop being involved. Get that stadium built and let's start pulling away from those bottom. That doesn't mean oh we're going to we're heading for your what it means is just get away from that area of the league. Wolves have, I mean Villa have done it brilliantly, but buy some quality and we'll get away from it. It's as simple as that. Right, I'm going to go. Hopefully Baz is doing his videos. He's done his first one I think. So I'm having a day off tomorrow. I don't care. I'm having a day off. So we'll be back with the final word on Tuesday. It'll be live on Toffy TV premiere. I think we all need to chill out tomorrow. I need to chill out tomorrow. I need to just I just need you. I need to not be worrying about football and I certainly won't be worrying about football. So there you go. It's been a long one. It's been an emotional one and it's over and we can just relax for a few weeks, can't we? Till it all starts again. Shortest summer, isn't it? I think ever or for a very for a certain for a long time or so. There you go. Celebrate. Do what you want to do, but tomorrow let's move on. Let's make our club a better football club because if we don't do it, they won't won't do it. It's as simple as that and without us, they are nothing. So everyone have a good night and I'll catch you all later. See you later.
