 Welcome to Toffey TV, it is the matriach in Everton 1, Chelsea nil, another home win for Everton, and a battle on performance really, I mean I said another home win for Everton like we win every home game, we won three out of the last four which is a lot for us, but it was a huge win today, on a day when Everton knew quite simply that anything less than three points would have been, I wouldn't want to say catastrophic but it would have made the... you know, the chances of staying up slim, to say the least obviously positive result for Burnley yesterday, day one three on the run and got themselves out of trouble, so we went into this one, a lot of people's waste fees really, we were five points adrift of Leeds and Burnley and you know, playing against a team, we were third in the Premier League, we were strong, got a good squad and knowing you have to win the game is a big ask in Everton, you know, the fans had obviously, a lot of people have been around town in the middle of the night, fair enough, just being happy, having fireworks with them, fair play, and then obviously the welcome of the team coach into Godderson Park, the blue flares and everything else, outstanding from the supporters to welcome the team bushing in and try to create that and carried the atmosphere into the stadium which was the hope and Everton started the game really positively, you know, snapping in to tackles, had a free kick in the opening, about 20 seconds wasn't it Anthony Gordon, brought down by Loftus Cheeke, the criticism of Gordon has hit the target, you know, waste a good opportunity to get a shot in at Mendy early on but you know that kind of set the tempo, Chelsea were always going to have the ball, you know, good sides generally do and we just had to make sure we were disciplined and when we had the chance break, we had a great move midway through the first half, Jordan Pickford brilliant throw out and release Damari Gray and he went on and pulled a good save from Mendy, we had shot blocked in the first half, Anthony Gordon, first one over, first one just wide as well so we carried the threat certainly in that first 45 minutes and Chelsea will always, will always carry a threat known, you know, the players that they've got but despite them having a lot of the ball in the first half it was evident that for me it had created the better opportunities and you know a couple that we just didn't quite get right when we were inside Chelsea's penalty area, we had to make fantastic blocks at the other end, the Corey, making blocks, Jeri Mina who was back to his mischievous self all day, you know, and he really got inside Kai Haveter's head and you know, we had to battle and scraft for that and we got to half time, nil nil, you know, and just needed, we were looking for that, you know, little bit of luck in that second half, that's something that you need but there was not lucky about Everton's first goal, you know, well Everton's goal rather, it was, it was good pressing and it was poor from Aspel Aquetta of course, so it was because Everton were on a front foot, you know, front foot, pressing, easy for you to say, and it was good closing down and it was a challenge and he gets a block in, Damari Gray gives him a block and he just shy-footed beyond Mendy to send gooders from parking, to absolutely raptures, I don't know what he was doing picking the flare up, just kick it to the side. To give us the lead and then it almost got so much better a couple of minutes later, Michelenko with a marvellous chance after the call, he had done brilliantly, he's just got to hit the target and he put it wide, you know, and you're thinking at that stage was that the moment to get two nil up against these and really, you know, haven't really put the game to bed cos I don't think you can against Chelsea but the players they've got but really put yourself in a stronger in command and position and he put it wide but the players, you know, were everywhere battling, thought he, you know, snuffed out a lot of what Chelsea did really well at times, you know, made sure we competed, there was a lot of organisation in the side which has been missing, you know, and I think certainly since the Crystal Palace Games there's been a much more solid look on Everton's side. Yes, we've lost games, I'm not saying it's perfect but it's frustrating games like today because you think they've done this all season, we wouldn't be in any kind of trouble but hey, we are where we are but we still needed two unbelievable saves from Jordan Pick. But one of them saved the season for me, it's incredible. Chelsea break, ball in, have it, deals with it, the ball stood up and he pulls it down, knocks it back to cover it to think it is, you hit it into the floor, us it makes an amount. It hits one post, rolls across the line, it's the other, comes out and Jordan Pickford's laying down in the goal, gets up and gets across and makes an unbelievable save to keep the ball, it's incredible how he's kept it out the net to be honest, it's an incredible save to give Everton the lead, to keep Everton's lead intact and then from a corner, the ball comes in, headed down and Rudiger's on his own, he hits it and Pickford spreads himself, albeit it hits him in the face, that one but he's there to spread it, two huge moments in the game and Pickford coming up massively and I thought he did everything well today, his handle was good, he obviously was buying time and taking the sting out of the game, he tipped a lofters cheek shot over as well, he was brilliant and for them reasons he would be my man of the match because he's made huge contributions to give Everton the victory but there was a lot of really strong performances out there today, the core, he was brilliant, James Coleman was fantastic, Michael Enco did well, meaner obviously is a huge player for us, Wholegate I thought had a good game as well and most of them to be honest with you, all put the effort in, all put the shift in they had to and then obviously when the manager made changes, Rondon come on and battled away and you know what he done really well, he's becoming in the last few games the player that what he always should have been for Everton which was off the bench with 15 minutes to go and he was a handful for Chelsea and the only criticism is he done brilliantly an injury time and should have got a shot away, he turned him inside out, should have just left fly but he done really well, obviously the deli came on as well and thought he did okay as another one on that same move he should have got a shot away, Anthony Gordon battled away as well and almost made the game safe in injury time but Mendy made a good save and you know overall fantastic battlen display when the pressure was on, Jordan Pickford my man of the mat like I just said outstanding today but what a victory and he keeps Everton fighting and the two points behind Leeds and Burnley now with the game in hand and obviously this is going to the wire isn't it, let's be honest but if Everton put that fighting you know shifting and the team spirit togetherness with the fans who have been magnificent for the last few months then they've got a real shot at getting out of it, it's not going to be difficult they're going to have to pull on away when out of the fire they are, it's as simple as that, we showed Burnley yesterday you know I watched the majority of that game and it should have been 4-0 at half time so Wafford they battled them and then Burnley didn't lie down come out second half took the game to them and ended up winning the game and Everton are going to have to go to Leicester and Wafford and win one of those games in my opinion and maybe take four points from them. Because that's where we are now there you've got to expect those teams are going to continue to win games and if they don't then brilliant you benefit but we're probably going to need an away win but today is about a great home win against a really good side we battled and scrapped for it another clean sheet 3 and 4 that is now good as an show that's something to build on like I said the away two away games now got to get results there which is not something we've done under Frank Lampard it's not something we've done all season we've won one game all season and it's my one away game so that tells you how bad we've been away but now's the time to turn it and if the battled and scrapped and stay organised like today they'll have a good chance of winning either at Leicester or Wafford so fingers crossed there you go big win for the Blues to the huge win for Everton today my man of the match Jordan Pickford let me know what you think in the comments section below give the video a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't to Patreon the link is in the description see you later
