 Welcome to Toffy TV, it's a match preview. Everton vs Arsenal in Baltimore, USA, the first proper pre-season game. Obviously I haven't played last weekend a behind closed doors game against the under 21s, but this is their first serious competition. It's going to be boiling, but it will be 7 o'clock at night, so it's not too bad. It's going to be 28 degrees then? Just 28 degrees then. Obviously Arsenal have played two games already, so they're well up to speed, but this will be Everton's first game. Obviously only one new signing as we speak, but the lads have been over there since Monday evening, getting acclimatised. They look like they're doing a lot of running, hard training in the sun. I have a chance to see what Frank Lampard is going to try and do this season for Everton. I imagine there will be 32 players going out there. I've seen a couple of other clubs have done three teams for 30 minutes in the 90 minute games. I don't know whether we'll do that, but I imagine there will be at least two teams playing a half each and then with some subs on top of that as well. We might get an idea, we might not in terms of how the teams line up. It might be a mixture, it might necessarily be as strong as the 11 and then the subs. I imagine it will be half and half. It's nice of us, the last game we played the season was a hammer in it. That was pretty much a friendly. That was the pre-season friendly, so we'll see how it goes in this one. They're a little bit ahead of us, obviously, playing the games. They were back a little bit earlier than us. But it's a chance for players to get some minutes into the legs and play with nothing on it, just to have a game of 14. We should see people like Deli and Nathan Patterson, who have obviously gone out with them as well. It'll be his first minute of the pre-season. So, yeah, it'll be good. And she likes the Lewis Warrington and people like that over all, Niels and Konky. Yeah, of course he's going to use everybody, isn't he? We've got two games in the space of four days. It's going to be very much like last season, the conditions are there to get you fit. That's the point, the heavy, get the heavy yards in. And, of course, it'll be typical pre-season. First half will be the best players, and the second half will see lots and lots of changes. And I just think, because obviously we've only got one, obviously Tarkowski, obviously the only new player we've got, isn't it? Which takes the little shine off it, doesn't it, if we'd have a couple more newer players. But Deli Patterson, as you said, haven't had that. Patterson's a new sign. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Let's use that term, like a new sign. Like a new sign. But he is, isn't he? He's played 45 minutes in the first team, so he effectively is a new sign. But we get to start to see the shape, don't we, of what we're looking to do this season. Are we going to start with three at the back and play wingbacks? Is the midfield shape going to be there in, you know, obviously there's not new players to fill it, but are we going to have a shape, a newer shape in the midfield? You know, there's no Rich Arleson. So obviously how are we going to change things, change that up? You know, are we going to see what will be Deli playing more sensually? You know, where does Anthony Gordon fit into things? Obviously Dominic Arlund is going to be our main striker. Where's Allen? Where's the Corey? It will be the first indication of where Frank Lampard wants to go. Because let's be honest, there's no real time to mess about with this. If you're going to go in and you want to play a new style, if you've played the back half of the season playing in survival mode, quite simply, having to play defensively, let's be honest towards the end of the season. We were playing five at the back for most of the games. So if you want to start playing a new style and being a little bit more proactive, it starts now, it starts in training this week. You're getting players fit last week, but you obviously want to play a new style. This is where we're going to get our first evidence of where that's going and stop all the speculation. And hopefully, when you get that formation, we can start looking at maybe who we need to keep and who we don't need to keep and where we need to bring players in as well and get a better picture of where we're going with things and where players are going to fit in. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I'm not sure whether Allen's going to fit in at the weekend. He's got the ability after the injury. Seamus Coleman is obviously injured, so we won't see him either. But there is an opportunity, I guess, for John Fleeke, your Batman, who's out there, you know, he's still another two years left on his deal. What do you have to do with him? Does Lampard have a good look on him and go, yeah, he's not familiar. Does Lampard go, actually, you know what? He might be able to do the job. Who knows? It's up to those kind of players, but yeah, what we'd like to see is some semblance of a formation, you know, and if we play three Dabach in both games, then you might get that idea, you know, you look at the lad at the back there, Rich Wells is over there, he's a young centre back. Obviously, Jarabran Twight hasn't gone and he's about to seal a move to PSV, so he's over there, but over there we've got Sarkovsky, as you've mentioned, Gerri Mina, of course, Ben Goffrey, Michael Key, Mason Hogan, Rich Wells, so we've got six centre backs over there. You could quite easily see three-play one after three-play the other and that might help someone like Rich Wells to play that 45-minute Arsenal. We've got Gabriel Hazouce and Martin Elly in these kind of players, you know, Siar, players, Saka, Smith Row, who will give that defence a test, so it'll be very, very interesting and I just wonder, like you said, in the midfield, if we'll see, and I'm sure we will see Isaac Price and things like that, if it will be set up as a three, will it be set up as almost a three, four, three, or will it be a five, three, two, will Delhi play right off Don in one of the games, in the other game will it be Ron Don and Ellis Sims, or will it be two wide players in the other half, so you will get all of those moments, it'll be, ultimately the result doesn't matter, it's lovely to get a positive result and it's lovely to see some nice football and stuff. Great opportunity for American Evitonians and for people travelling over to watch it. It'll be fantastic to be there, the stadium looks incredible. The stadium does look incredible. Of course, if you're going, if you're in America, enjoy it. Enjoy the opportunity to watch Eviton. Very lucky, very fortunate, and obviously people travelling over. Enjoy watching Eviton in a different culture and stuff. The game at no pressure. Go on, just enjoy it. Of course, we'll be there covering it as well. Internet permitting, we'll try and get an instant match reaction out straight after the game, probably me and Baz, and then obviously we'll try and do our best to see if we can get any interviews with any of the players or ex-players or anyone there, but we'll be covering it over there, so make sure you check that out.
