 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the player ratings for Everton 3. Chelsea won a fantastic victory for Everton at Goddison Park. Obviously Duncan Ferguson's first, maybe only who knows, chance of managing Everton at the moment and it really all did go down to plan. It really did. Coming into this game I wasn't too worried about Chelsea, but when I've seen the team sheet and I've seen there's no meaner, I didn't realise it was going to be 4-4-2, and it just looked at the team and the team just didn't look like there's had been much of change, then it sort of filled me with dread. Probably because I just want to just go well for Duncan, because I just think as a person, as an Evertonian, I think he deserves that. I really do, and a lot of people have different opinions about him, whether it be of a player or as a coach. I don't think a lot of people truly understand what his job is as being as a coach, and the fact that as a coach you are an employee and you can't always show the passion you want to show, or you are given a job, maybe sometimes as the coach, he was the coach of the strikers, and maybe that's when Dominic Cavillin was doing better, and then maybe he was taken away from being the coach, and maybe someone else who was a former striker in the Premier League and played for Fulham and Arsenal, was given the strike. The job of coaching the strikers, and suddenly then the strikers become crap. They're just things that I don't think people appreciate, so I'm absolutely delighted that today it all just fell in place for him, I really am. Whether it continues, I don't know whether you can continue just playing like that today. I don't know, I think it would have to evolve, but it doesn't matter for today it worked. Hard work, passion and ethos got us through that game, it's as simple as that. Obviously we started well with a goal, and just basically scored at the right times, basically just scored at the right times didn't we? Eilion gave us that something to get behind when I think it was nervousness at the beginning, then got the second okay they could score, but obviously scored and we're five minutes ago. I mean imagine if it had gone into 2-1 wouldn't then six minutes had gone up on the board, Jesus Christ, so everything worked out well, even just little touches of good luck like the subs with Bernard not coming on before Wilcock went off, went down injured, do you know what I mean? Just like the old things went for him today, and it just shows that hard work. And we've said this for so long on the show is that you've got to have that base, you've got to have a team built on hard work and all the other things come, you can't go out there every week and go oh we're just going to knock it round today, I'm going to play 8000 passes, hard work has got to be the base and you can build from that. I don't think you can add hard work to a wishy washy passing round the back four kind of thing, and what's mad is watching today's game you don't even realise, we haven't really realised what we've been missing as Evertonians because we just not had it for so long of having that commitment and this is why so many people go back to the David Moiseas and go oh I missed that, it's because you've got performances like that where no one's really given you a chance to win it, but you're winning because you capitalise on their mistakes and you get the luck you deserve from the hard work, you can have all the stats you want in the world but hard work sums everything at the end of the day. Don't get me wrong, if two teams work equally as hard, the better team should and will always win the game, but you know, some days Chelsea didn't work as hard as us today and we capitalised on it and it was just fantastic. The goals with Charleston's goal was like a dunk of fakes in Heather and then a number nine score the two of the goals and it just, Don was, I mean we'll go into it in the playing meetings but Don was excellent today and it all just worked out brilliantly and I'm absolutely delighted for everyone, for absolutely everyone, for getting people to just understand whatever it is, that's everything, forget about whether you know long ball, short ball, whatever, that's everything, that's the feeling you're supposed to have when you're going to play. You're supposed to go with the game, that's the feeling, you're not supposed to sit there and just be like, go on, you're supposed to be involved as a fan, you're supposed to make every tackle that the player tackles, you're heading every header, you're going to tack every ball as a fan, that's the way it should be. That comes from your manager and comes into the plays and I've said this for so long about our managers and I said it about Mark Oak Silver and his passion, his passionlessness, I don't even know that's a word, passionlessness, on the pitch, it doesn't, you look over and you think that's my manager, don't come with, listen, they have a donkey and people criticise and you know what, for a while I've been like, you know what, I wouldn't mind a bit of that, I wouldn't mind showing that people actually care. When you do care, you forgive them a little bit, you forgive them for whatever it is and as ever times we've always done that, we've always forgiven players with lesser talent, as long as they've won through that brick wall four, as long as they've weighed that shape with pride and what you've won and what you've got to find and what you've got to inspire is players with more talent to do that for you and that's the hardest thing in the modern game and that's why the scenery when the league have that, they have players. Again, it's why they're top of the league, it's because the manager inspires players to be better and also run through brick walls for them and we've seen a little bit of that today and it was great, let's start, listen, by the way, the breakings are not going to be like everyone's getting a 12 because they're not, they're not, it's as simple as that, they're not. John Pickford, I'll give him a six, I thought he should have done better for the goal, although it did feel like I still think it was offside, I still think the goal was offside, the lad is basically standing in front of him when he dives, he has to dive behind him and I thought he was offside but I thought he should have done better, his kicking wasn't great either, some of his kicking was good but some of it was just stupid at times, giving the ball back to him when he shouldn't have been so I've given him a six, Cdb, seven, I thought going forward was excellent, at times it was a little bit, no seven and a half, seven and a half sorry, seven and a half, at times he was a little bit exposed, at times but going forward he was excellent and he kept going all the time, if he lost the ball he made sure he won it back, showed a passion, real passion, again you can fault the lad at times sometimes, last week he was sad and then Liverpool he was rubbish and then back today he was bad. He doesn't really defend for you, if he does defend he's defending in there half, but he got forward and he gives them a real problem all day, so I thought he's got an intensity about him, a real intensity about him that as I said sometimes can let him down but what I did was like this, there were times when he went forward and Snadlen came over him and took his place, okay Snadlen hasn't got the pace he has but he just filled into the role in those little things like that, I noticed today. Little differences, on the other side Lucadini obviously went off injured, again didn't have a great game, I don't think, there was one on the first half where William sort of left them to dead with a little nice little double touch, I didn't think he was great at all, I gave him a five, I think he defended, no that's harsh, I give him five, Mae Stath Arsh!

Later on in the game he did put his head in the way of a few things. He did grow into the game a bit, but I didn't think he was gay. I'm just being nice now. I'll give him a six because he did towards the end when we were under a little bit of pressure. He did get himself in the way of a few things. I'm probably just on a bit of a high on myself. Into midfield, obviously two in midfield, Sniden and Sigarton. They both play really well. They both play really well. It's suited both of them. Sigarton plays in a 4-4-2 for Iceland. He knew what his job was to date. He knew he had two centre forwards in front of him. He knew not to play in that little hole behind the forward. He was involved more. He was tackling more. He was getting stuck in a little bit like he was against Leicester. Snidlin the same. Snidlin had a really good game. So Sigarton I'll give a seven and Snidlin I'll give a seven and a half. I just thought he was marginally better. Both of them were getting stuck in. People were all over the pitch were getting stuck in. The stat was there was more tackles. We committed more tackles than any time in the last decade today. That just shows you straight away. No one's thrown out stats and all the rest of it and expected goals and all this nonsense. To me the only stat of that matter today are the goal, the score. Even though the possession was quite low we had more shots in them so I'll put that in as well. The tackles we were trying to break it up because they were a very good shot. Really good on the counter attack as well. We had to get into our shape and be tough. The tackles were a big part of midfield to break it up. I thought canty was magnificent for them by the way basically when the game. Those two in the centre of the field did really well today, really really well. So fair play to them. They've come under a lot of criticism. I think Duncan just made it very simple for them. Go on play centre midfield and just getting near, getting people's faces. When you get a chance to do something with it but most importantly is keep the shape. I think both of them did really well. On the right Theo Wocodd, I'll give him a 7. I thought that he was always a good outlet. He tried to take a couple of time. Second half he had one where he just knocked it past their player leg down to it and had a shot at goal. And I actually think if one of our plays you went forward it just hung back a little bit. He would have had a tap in from the penalty spot but he was forced to shoot because everyone run into the box. But then there was another one second half where he tried to take canty on. Well it's just like knocking past them again. You've done it already. Do it again. I told he put a real shift and I really did. Really gave us an outlet as well at times and worked really hard. On the other side the Wobie was the complete opposite to me. I told he was appalling. He was really really poor. Out there today I'm going to give him a 4. I told he was abysmal. I just don't think he wanted. There was a couple of times where it was like 50-50s. There was one towards the end where he had the ball. He was coming out of our box and we'd been under the cost of it. He basically just run into no man's land and let the player take the ball off him and then they started again. Instead of just doing something with it and trying to knock it ahead of him and beat him in a foot race. Or even just knocking into the corner and going I'm going to chase after this. Every 50-50 he got knocked off it. His decision maker was awful for me to die I thought it was. I had to drag them off a lot sooner. Maybe Duncan was just trying to keep the shape and thought. But now maybe he was a little bit lightweight. Physically I've always got to do a lot more. A hell of a lot more. He pushed off it and that to me didn't. Everyone else put something into it. Even though I woke up on the other side he wouldn't be just pushed off the ball. He fought for everything and I just don't think I would have done that to me today. I thought he was our worst player. I just thought he had a really, really poor game. He was asked to do a job and it might be what he wanted to do but he just didn't do it for me. The two lads up front with Charleston. I thought he was excellent. He took off actually very, very surprised because he's someone who will run through a brick wall for you. But the manager obviously decided that. One day I will say about the sub and delighted that he made the sub at 2-1. He looked at the situation when something's got to change here and made sure he'd done it. Was it what I thought? I thought he'd take a woby off and put the Charleston on the left and maybe put Dom off front on his own in that freeing centre of my field. But he didn't. He sort of... He took with Charleston off and... Charleston was sort of playing as a split striker and I think he sort of said to Tom sort of filled that role in but being midfield. Charleston took his goal brilliantly. Brilliant header. One that Duncan would be proud of. You know, it's three and three for him. So really, really good goal and I think he benefitted from having that free role but playing still centrally. I think he really benefitted from playing as a split striker. Again, Duncan Ferguson recognising that from being a striker himself. I'm not saying he's like a genius or something but this is sometimes all it takes. Looking at individuals and going, can you do a certain job? No, but can you do it as a pair? And that's what he looked at today and that's what he looked at at Dom. So I gave him a Charleston at 8. I thought he was really, really good. Really, really good. Worked hard, put a shift in. You could tell it meant something to me. You could tell when he'd come off. He was gutted, he was coming off. A little bit of anger in there and I liked that. He was going brilliantly well. So I've given him at 8. Dom and the Carvelywing told us it was his best performance in an evidence sheet and no coincidence that he was playing as the number 9 with Duncan Figgs and his confidence and leadership behind him and telling them to win every... That was the thing. We were going long, of course we were going long and Dom and the Carvelywing was winning all flicks and the Charleston was getting on to them but he was winning them and then getting himself back into position. They couldn't handle that ball in him. He wins everything and it reminded me of towards the end of last season but the difference was that he got his rewards and he got two goals. Both of them was first one. He takes it really, really well. Benefits from a bit of a defensive mix-up. Same with the second one. They strike his goals. That's what you want. Tammy Abrams is having a great season because of that because that's what he's doing. He's in the 6-yard box and that's where he's getting a chance and I thought Dom was brilliant. It's all around. Game was brilliant today. It really was and you could see what it means to him. So young lad who's been 11 for a few years now. He didn't come through the academy but as far as where he can see him, he's one of ours. Again, people haven't backed him all the time. They're too busy writing him off where Duncan is giving him a chance today and listen, I'm not saying he'll do that every week for us but you've seen what the performance was towards the end of the season and a performance like that today. Does he need a little bit more anger than his belly? Yes, he does but if you give him a task to do and he's got plays alongside and don't understand what their roles are in that I think you've got a decent striker on your hand. OK, maybe not like an amazing striker maybe not like a two-goal, one and two-goal striker but maybe a goal every three games which is exactly what we need if he's going, if a challenge going then we're going to go up the table a lot faster so I thought he was excellent today he gets a nine for me. Clearly man of the match. Fantastic and I'm delighted for him. The subs, Tommy, I mentioned he'd come on. Wasn't great, upset the third goal wasn't great, few passes that he'd give away where I thought he should have done a little bit better so I'll give him a six. Wasn't quite on it when he'd come on. I'll give him a six. I'm trying to think who else. Bain's come on obviously and that was like special because he came on he came on out left back obviously Dean got a little knock but at the end when you see him they've been at the club for a long time both of them see it means so much to them don't see that much of Bain so it was nice that he was involved in this so I'll give Bain a six as well didn't really do that much but defended well towards the end of the game and Bernard Bernard was, he never really got into the game did he, never really got into it and physically he looked a bit of a mismatch so I'll give him a five but I mean that's just because he just didn't do anything essentially but now fantastic, fantastic victory much needed victory as well and the game's coming up now don't look as scary do you think now oh man United away you know we'll see and then Arsenal home we can get into Arsenal like we got into these today Arsenal will be all over the gaff all over the gaff so and then we got Bainly so you put that performance in that level of work against 14 other Premier League teams you'll win, you'll win simple as that because we've got the quality but that's what's been missing the heart and the passion and it was there today and that's why we got the three points so I'm delighted, delighted for Duncan I know how much this club means to him I really do and when people call him like an Edwin Legend and all that and the people snigger at that he's not an Everton Legend but he's a hero, he's a cult hero and the reason he's a hero is and this is why he's always been a hero is because he feels like he represents the fan when he was on the pitch or now he's on the sideline or whatever you know he's an Evertonian you know it means everything to him you know that and that's why people love him you know you get these it doesn't matter nothing else matters he loves the club, he's one of us he's one of us and I hope he's at the club forever for absolutely ever and whatever the role he's got I don't care I just want him to be at the club forever because he's absolutely Evertonian through and through simple as that anyway let me know your thoughts in the comments check out my match reaction check out Baz's videos as well I imagine if we won like all the time imagine after that the smile surgically removed off my face it just makes all of us just feel so good and changes everything everything doesn't it absolutely everything so yeah if you haven't subscribed please do click the bell for a later you know exactly when our videos are coming out especially live videos if something breaks which you never know do you never know cough actually was at the game today what's all that about and if you want more videos join us over on Patreon honestly £3 a month it's worth it honestly it's worth it it's brilliant absolutely brilliant live videos every single day the link is in the description thanks for watching toffeeTV I'll see you later
