 Welcome to ToffeeTV, it is the Player Ateens from Manchester United to Everton near a disappointing, disappointing game at Old Trafford. Anyway, let's get into the Player Ateens. Jordan Pickford, big day for Jordan. Some massive saves to keep Everton in the game, let's be honest, in the game for 70 minutes. Nine saves, one punch, one high clean, eight of them inside the box. Yeah, without him today it could have been massively embarrassing, massively embarrassing. The performance was, it wasn't great, I don't know if you'd go as far as saying embarrassing, some might, some might, but without him and some of his saves today. It could have been, it could have been hugely, hugely worse, and it was, you know, again it's that thing where you see people from the outside going, where the disc comes from, it's like he does it every week, most of the time. His mistakes are few and far between, let's get it right, every goalkeeper makes mistakes nowadays, is a very few, he's become a very reliable goalkeeper and he was massive for us today. He kept the score down, who knows how important that will be within the context of the season, so I've given him a nine. Sheamus Coleman, I feel really sorry for Sheamus Coleman away because he had a good game today and his performance has been blighted by one error and the error obviously led to a goal. Before that it'd been excellent, eight out of nine ground duels won, defensively spot on, very calm and possession in the corner there, not doing anything stupid, keeping his head. I thought he had a good game, but unfortunately he's made a mistake, that means that they scored a goal. It's a silly mistake as well, not controlling the ball properly, not getting your foot under it. Those things never seem to happen to us, but Rashford is a top player, he's capitalised on it and Martial gets the goal that he always, always scores against Evan. So a difficult one really, but I'm going to give Sheamus a seven because I thought he played really well up to that point. Al Scott MacTomley got away with nearing him and then kicking the ball at him, I doubt now, you know all the furor that's been made this week about the core, putting his hand in someone's face. Well, MacTomley just needs somebody and then kicked them while he's on the floor. Yeah, that's for both of you though, isn't it? So I'm going to give Sheamus a seven. Ben Godfrey, a torrid half of Ben Godfrey. All I would say is for all the positional mistakes he made, they never actually scored off one. But it's positional, I have said it in the last few weeks, it's positional sense is abysmal, it is really abysmal. You know, this sort of, not a debate, but he's talked about it all season, he's between Michelin Copp playing left back and him playing left back. They both have their assets and they both have their disadvantages, let's just say. Ben's is his power and his pace, his pace got him, did get him out of trouble a few times today. But I just think that the reason why he got swapped was massive, well massive reason was, they just kept doing it and probably the manager probably felt the longer it went on, the more they did it, the more they were going to get joy out of it. It was a ball that was always on and when Michelin came on, they didn't really do it again, they did it a couple of times and it never really worked. Ben's positioning is, as I've said numerous times, it's really poor, it doesn't quite understand. I'd like to say football but I don't think he quite understands the position and if they're getting in and they're creating chances then you've got to do something about it and the manager did. He's got a lot to learn, is he going to be our long team left back? No, not a chance. But neither in my eyes is Michelin Copp and the manager's had to make a decision based on consistently what they've been consistently doing in games. There's only three out of his four ground duels but as I said it's not always a big thing when the ball's going over your head all the time but three tackles as well. One of them being the last man, tackle I think again, I think that was more of a Michael Keen one. But yeah, he's got to improve his position and sense, it doesn't matter whether he's got pace or he hasn't got pace. Teams will take advantage of that in the end and they will continue to put you out on the pressure by having that outboard which they did. I've given Ben Godfrey a five. Michael Keen, yeah, him and Taki, again they were, because of the high line didn't shoot ease them today and we've seen the one where like I mentioned there, Michael Keen heads the ball back and we haven't got the pace, the amount of times just generally they could in that spell in the first half they were getting over the top. Again, that's not something they would have said to the manager, shall we play ten yards higher up than we normally do. That's a tactic, that's something the manager will have asked them to do and it just didn't work. It doesn't shoot Adam because they haven't got pace, doesn't shoot James Coleman and the only person that sort of shoots is Ben Godfrey but then you see what, but then they kept on targeting Ben Godfrey which was mad but yeah I don't think, I think Michael Keen and Ben Godfrey, sorry, Michael Keen and James Clarkhouse, as I said, not the game for them. Michael Keen have four clearances, three block shots, one tackle, one out of one ground duels and two out of two, four aerial duels. I've given him six and a half and Tarkowski two clearances, one tackle, one out of three ground duels, one and three out of five aerial duels, I've given him six out of five, six point five as well. It wasn't a great situation for either of them, I think they dealt the best they could giving us that little bit of a solid platform. Into midfield, Garnagay, I actually thought Garnagay had a good game. I thought he was in there, nicking everything, he's won eight out of ten ground duels today. I thought he had a good game, it was like a one man midfielder there at times, one clearance, one block shot, two interceptions, eight tackles, eight and only dribble past once, I thought Garnagay had a really good game but I can't understand why he took him off and again like I said before you've got to factor in playing an hour, playing an hour with no fluid, no food. This, that's difficult, that's difficult. So I did, I think he was like a one man midfield today, I've given him seven point five. I thought he had a, I've seen, again I've seen people saying oh he must be dropped, you must be mad if you think Garnagay must be dropped, I'm afraid to say because today he was like a one man midfield and the stats bear that out. Tackles and ground duels won, winning back possession. He had a really good game today and it might have just been the fact that after an hour obviously the managers looked at it and said he's got to look for a bit of energy. So I've given seven and a half. Oh Narnay, wasn't great today, again I think he struggled in a two man midfield. For me I'd had another player in there, I had Tom Davis or James Garnay and allowed Amidou Oh Narnay to play maybe a little bit higher after three. He, again I said this the last game, there's more there, you can see there's more there. He's a good passer of the ball, he keeps it nice and neat and tidy, he just doesn't get in the areas today, 33 touches, 33 touches for a centre midfield. I think he had double the amount against Spears and I didn't think he was brilliant against Spears. I know other people thought he played well, I did not say he didn't play well against Spears, just don't think he was brilliant but in a two man midfield it needs to be more. Ground duels won now, three out of three, one out of two for his aerial duels. He's got to do more or he's got to have someone in with him and it was no surprise to see him going off on the hour as well. Just, yeah, he's nowhere near, just nowhere near doing enough for me in there. I've given him a six. Alex O'Wobee, straight, him and Gray, the positions today, strange, they were basically on top of each other. I didn't get that, I didn't get that, what position he was playing in today. I know he was sort of playing in the normal position he plays in but I didn't quite understand because Gray was at times, Gray was right on top of him and then Sims were dropped deep and he was right on top of him. Yeah, strange one, strange one. So again, not creating anything though, not creating, him and the other attack in my fielders, not creating anything. And that's always a big bugbear with me, I know we praised him and we did this last season with Frank Lampard, you praised him for working hard, you praised him for doubling back, you praised him for doing the bare minimum, most of the time. But they don't create anything though, they just don't, O'Wobee, Gray, McNeil, they just don't seem to create anything in open play. You know, they don't have any shots. You know, all three of them, all three of them just, people talk them up and I'll be honest, I don't particularly know why. They talk them up because they work hard. Working hard is the basics as far as I'm concerned, the absolute basics. Yeah, I've given them a six, Dwight McNeil, worked hard, stuck out there, quite isolated on the left. Eight of his 14 ground duels, two of his aerial duels. Again, what can you say, worked hard, had one shot block, no shots on target, no shots off target, successful dribbles two out of two, fair enough. But they don't, they just, again, just don't do enough for me. If those three players just don't do enough in a game, they don't have shots, they don't have crosses, they don't make things happen and it annoys me. It annoys me how much praise they get for doing the bare minimum. It really does, it really annoys me. I've given him six, Dwight McNeil six and a half, great four out of eight ground duels, one shot off target, no shots on target, dribble attempts, none. Supposed to be our most creative player, no dribbles. I want more from these players, you know what I mean? I want more from these attacking players, at least one of them. I know a Wobby's got good numbers in terms of assists for the season, but come on, there's got to be shots, there's got to be, there's got to be things happening from your former player, surely, surely. Maybe I asked too much, I don't know, maybe I asked too much, Premier League players expect them to have a few shots on target. Michael King can do it. Ellis Sims, another tough one for Ellis Sims, 70 minutes, add one huge, huge opportunity, dragged it wide. I don't know whether he thought he had more time or what, but he had the chance and he didn't, you know. He put it wide, but again, stuck up front on his own. Stand for a bit a couple of years ago, I'm feeling now this. Still very raw, still got a lot to learn. I do think he's starting to learn how to hold the ball up a little bit better. I think we saw that on Monday when he came on, but again, you know, no shots on target, two shots off target. It was a big chance though, it was a big chance. Yeah, I've given 5.5. Just a tough day for the lad again. As I said, I don't think he's ready to play. Well, I think you need to give him supply. I've seen someone say in the comments there, they don't get any supply. Those three players are supposed to supply the centre forward. I feel sad for Sims because he doesn't get any supply. Those three players are supposed to make the supply. That's their job. That's literally their job. And Wobe, McNeil and Gray, it's their job to create chances for Ellis Sims. So I feel sorry for Ellis Sims. I don't feel sorry for the other three. Whatsoever, because it's literally their job to make them chances. It's not Ghana. It's not even on Ghana. It's why Decore is a big miss. It's those three players' job to make chances for our centre forward. And they don't. And that's why I have a problem with them. And that's why I've had a problem with them all season. All season. Because they don't make chances and they don't score goals. What have they got in the Premier League? One's got four, one's got three, one's got one. That to me is not good enough. And that's why I pick on them. And I don't apologise for it. That's their job. And you have to talk about that. Because it's a consistent, it's been happening. It's been happening all season. The subs Mikhalenko came on. Steady the ship, I think. Did all right. Three out of three grand. He did all right when he came on. Steady the. Didn't really offer anything attacking. But I think about that point. It was about just steadying the ship. So I give him six and a half. Tom Davis came on. Tom Davis yet. Did all right. Came on with half an hour to go. Again, just came in. Steady the. Got over the ball. You know, ran around the bay. I've given him six and a half as well. And James Garner. The same. Did all right. Bit more energy in midfield. He did score after he both came on. And that was the game. So I just petered out. I've given him six and a half. Maupai didn't do anything for giving five. He was. Anonymous again. Yeah, there you go. That's my player ratings. We move on to Fulham next week. Massive game. We need three points. Hopefully we get it. These are the ones you have to win regardless of what. You know, anyone says these. That is a much win game as far as I'm concerned. So there you go. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. On this one. Don't forget to check out Baz's videos as well. We'll be back on Monday to do the final word over on Toffee TV Premier. That'll be live. Thanks for watching. See you later.
