 Welcome to Toffy TV, here is my three things, Everton One full on three, the blues beating on a data figure at Gouldersham Park, shocking performance by Everton, particularly the last half an hour today, absolutely awful. If I was doing play of eightons, I don't think any of them had to go above one or two today, absolutely diabolical at that last half an hour. I'm sure there'll be some fans who think I'm being harsh there. Everyone sees it differently, my standards are much higher, I expect much more than what I've seen today at Gouldersham Park. Being a terrible season, being a terrible two seasons, but what I've seen today at Gouldersham Park is shocking. The first thing I want to talk about is the recruitment that comes back to this. Everton are by far and away, I've got the ways from players in the league. Without Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and he's never fit, and again he's not even in the squad today. I'll have to include him in this because he's just not available and he's cost us as much as anybody else this season by not being there. But when you look at every other team in the league, they've got something in the final third. Everton have got nothing, generally nothing. Dw i'ch ni'ch nil sgwrd y gol today and he's done all right of late, but there's just nothing in this team. You've just seen it today. Everton have got strength in other areas and players in other areas probably better than some teams in this league. But in the final third there is nothing, and I just don't know how anyone sit down in that recruitment team over the last couple of years and thought that this was the best collection of players to a match. I don't know how anyone in the football club could have watched Richard Ellison walk out the door and thought that they didn't need to go and buy two or three players with the pedigree of putting the ball in the back of the net. And we didn't. And it's where we are today. We've seen Bournemouth who are poor for me, but what they did in January, they weren't going to retire in whoever interested them but moved too late. He's got the winner today, he's being harmful, set the winner up against Liverpool or a week. You know, people like Salanki who's been harmful on his mobile. You know, they've got players who are attacking that. I don't even think they're great. I'm just using them as an example for other teams. I've got attacking powers. Lester, who are getting destroyed at City at the moment and are on a terrible run, I still feel like they've got lots of goals in that day from players. Where as us, it's almost like a surprise when everything's gone. Whatever we do, if we end up in the championship, it looks like it could well happen. Some would argue that it looks like it will happen and you wouldn't be able to argue against them. They're never going to have to go and get players with a per degree of scoring goals. Now, we'll have Tom Cannon and we'll have Ella Sims who both score goals in the championship. I imagine Tom will go. They're going to have to go and get another striker. They're going to have to go and get wide players who score goals in that level because the ones we've got in our team won't add much more goals than what they're doing. Right, McNeill is on a good run. Don't get me wrong at the moment. It will probably go anyway. A lot of these players will go anyway to be fair because everyone will be able to afford them and they won't. They'll do the thing of, I don't want to play for the championship club and that's what happens when you get relegated. A lot of them jump shit. We've got to get goals into this side because that's how you're going to get promoted. If Everton completed the great escape again and stayed up, they've got to go and buy goals for this team. Goals will ultimately get you out of sticky situations. If Everton had a goal scorer today, a decent striker today, those two opportunities might get a decent striker score today and all of a sudden you're 3-1 up at half time. It's virtually game over. Full on didn't want to be there anyway. You come out for the second half, 3-1. It's just about keeping the ball and not making any silly mistakes. This team is erastruing from the front players to the defenders right now and it's wide away where we are. So the recruitment has been shocking. The problem is all of our faith is going to have to go into these people who have made these decisions that what we had was good enough, which is outrageously poor. It is. The more you look at it, the more you just shake your head and think what were they thinking, diabolical. That leads me on to point two. Point two quite simply is what is the manna to do with Ella Sims? Now Ella Sims isn't fully the answer, but he's more the answer than Neil Mawpai. Mawpai's not even gone on of late. So what is the, put three mon a roll trafford, what would ten minutes left us up in this week, whatever it was. It's not, he didn't get on a Chelsea, didn't come on her own to bring for those spares, whatever. What's the point? So why is he getting started in a game that we had to win? When Ella Sims, oh yeah, you started her on field in a game and everything won't have the ball. I started her all trafford in a game and they'll probably have all of the ball. I just don't get the thinking from the manager. I think he made an absolutely terrible, terrible decision today. A terrible decision with that. It took all the impetus away, all the attacking impetus away from us with that one decision. Sims until, and listen again, I've got a clue what's happening with Dominic Alderloo and I'll have a clue whether he's broken down again, whether, I don't know, whether they've just gone, oh no, he's not quite there, do you? This is nonsense. Until he's back, then Sims should be playing every game. Simple as, simple as. Even if it's just you giving him, you're looking at him with a decision for next season, whether to keep him on or poor today. Final, finally. The players, the third point is on the players. We've got seven games left. We've got difficult games. Today was probably the easiest game we had and we've lost it. You know, when you look back, we've had a lot of opportunity to not be in this predicament now. We've had Wolgerome, who were bottom and awful, and we got beaten injury time. We've had Southampton, come to goodersham, who were bottom and awful, and they won. We've had Villa, come to goodersham, who were in great fall and on that day we missed great opportunities in the first half and we lost the game. We went to Forrest, we were two-one up with 12 minutes left and we blew it. And now Fulham have come with the slippers on and have not really been interested today and we've lost the game. And all of those opportunities, we've won three of those games out of five. We've been safe now, basically. We go to Palace next week, which they just won two-nil a Southampton Houghtons, come in and won three games on the run. They're powerful, they're strong again. Looks like a really big ask. Newcastle, or I think they've been bounced today by Villa, but generally don't lose many games. That's going to be a tough game, unless there's a big game. Ever and these players have got to realise the predicament they're in. They've got to take care of the ball. They've got to make sure they're not all over the place at the back. The managers, like I said in the aftermath, the managers are going to have to make decisions. This defence that he's got, the partnership's not working. It's not working in any universe. It doesn't keep playing sheets. So he's going to have to change it again. You keep changing something until you get it right. It's not working. Godfrey at right back, never at right back. Shouldn't have been played there, and he's played and he's gone off injured as it happens, but shouldn't have been there. It should have been Nathan Patterson. If you want to keep Godfrey in the team, he stays at the left back. Michael Enkel doesn't offer enough going forward, that he's the guaranteed left back. And that's where we are. OK, the midfield, he's had his hands tied. I don't know what's wrong with the one on there. Obviously the core is suspended. He's had to play. He's had to use it differently, but what he did today was he went away from. He kind of did the role-trap for last week and he never worked, and he's done it today. He went 4-4-2 for the first 25 minutes till he went a goal down. It was pathetic. It was nonsense. It never worked. It was never going to work because what's Maupai going to do? I'm going to win at this. He's not holding it up and laying it off to the marigrain off. It was nonsense. But the players have to realise the fight they're in for these fans. There's seven games to go. I never need. Do you need four wins? Don't you? Do you need four wins? Everyone else is winning. So, you know, Bournemouth have took themselves away from Palace have took themselves away from it. Wolves have took themselves away from it and were right in the middle of it. You wouldn't back against Forrest, getting something against United tomorrow. You wouldn't back against Leeds, getting something against Liverpool on Monday. And where they looking like they're going backwards. So it's on the players. The manager's got to make the right choices and he didn't today. He got it wrong. He got it so wrong today. But the players are the ones who play the game and it's on them. And for the second season in a run, Dave put us in the position we're in. And like I said before, if we get relegated and it's a real possibility, half of these will go. I'm a player in the championship at one out. And we'll end up getting rid of them for a cut price deal. So again, us taking the hit on the money. And I know it's our fault, but that's what will happen. And they'll get their moves, maybe. It's a mess. It's an absolute mess. And with seven games to go now, I honestly fear the worst. I really do. I hope I'm wrong and I pray I'm wrong and I hope we can just get some wins from somewhere. But it's a nightmare. It ruined me badly. It's a, yeah, this isn't the least of me worries, but it is grim. And those players, it's on them. They're the ones, we can go and support them and sing, but they're the ones who weren't running today and weren't putting tackles in and let a team that wasn't really that bothered comfortably win the game. So there you go. There's my bramblings done. Thank you for watching. Subscribe if you haven't give the video a thumbs up. Have a great weekend. See you later.
