 Welcome to Toffy TV! It's the final word, Barry won, Everton won in a pre-season, the second pre-season game, but the first one on English soil for Marco Silva. Wasn't 22-0, but I suppose it was the first competitive friendly and it wasn't a bad run-off for all those involved, which was a lot of plays again. It was a good game, I enjoyed it. I thought they done well, very. They defended brilliantly and worked really hard. They looked a little bit ahead of everything fitness-wise and sharpness, which is what you'd expect because they are. But I thought, I thought everyone was OK. I thought we started again really well the first 20-25 minutes and then they kind of day fitness leveled it out a little bit as I dropped off a little bit, but I thought it was a good game. Yeah, I think you're right about the first 20 minutes. I think you've seen Everton's levels in the first 20 minutes, the highest levels and then after that Everton dropped off and you're right, you've seen their fitness levels and for those 20 minutes Everton had four, five, six opportunities to score, but they were a very organised team who were prepared to get everything in the way. You can understand why they didn't concede on Saturday against Liverpool, probably the same thing. The match of sharpness isn't there from the Premier League team. They were well organised and they were, you know, you can, right and low, obviously, I literally said it in the first five seconds, didn't I? There was a back line, it was like a perfect line and you could see how organised they were and so fair played them for that. We had a few opportunities, we never took them and then they started coming into the game more and you could see us physically drop off a little bit and as you said, they're sharpness coming through a little bit, but I just wonder whether that was a premeditator thing to really throw everything at it for the first 20 minutes, not to win the game, but in terms of pushing yourself. Let's get out there early and, you know, because it was essentially two 45 minute games for the two Everton teams on display. So I just wonder whether it was a conscious decision by the manager to say, get out there first 20 minutes. I want to see you give everything so we can almost see how long those, where you are in terms of levels because it's very easy in pre-season, I imagine, to almost go, well, I'm going to play at my own sort of inside 60% and just go coast through it, whereas it looked like yesterday that it was like first 20 minutes, throw everything out of it and then let's see how far you can push it after that because I suppose that's the way to see how fit you are and how much more you need to do. Yeah, we're really impressive the first 20 minutes in terms of sharpness, Everton. The thing that impressed me more was, again, just which built on Saturday, I don't know, Saturday, Saturday, but built on from that was the actual attacking shape that we had. And I said to you, didn't I? A couple of times, look how many men we've got forward here and it was leaving the little triangle of you two centrebacks in Snideland. Everyone else was on the edge of their box, practically, and that's what he builds his teams on. Now, hopefully, at the better place you get, on the sharpie again, you cut the wrist down. But that's what impressed me the most, being in the first few minutes, a great run on the defender mix, a wonderful block. We've seen Coleman bombing on. You know, we've seen our wingers tucking in and letting our fullbacks come on the outside. So all of things that are kind of his trademark for his teams were running through. And that impressed me that the players are trying to take that on. It did drop off, of course it did. But we'd better finish, sincerely, in the first half as well, first half, off the first half. Could have been out of sight 20 minutes in. No, you're right about the shape. The shape was very evident. Sandro played out on the right-hand side. We played out there for what, 65 minutes? 65 minutes. Before Cucko Martin came on for him. So he was in obvious shape. He was obviously a bit of a change of personnel from the weekend on the left-hand side with Noel Luchman playing. But you could see it as he said then. The three in midfield were very compact in terms of, you know, where they moved, they all had their own little rows. And yeah, we got with the forwards, but then the fullbacks wanted to go past them as well. And I thought it was interesting as well, though it was the case of like at times, it was about building round their box. So the fullbacks would get round the back, but then keep the ball alive rather than just throwing it English crossing. Almost to barricade them in and be able to move the ball from one side to the other with all their plays in that area. And that's almost reminiscent of, if you watch like the Lifetime Man City play, how they do it, you know, where they will use finadino as they're fine on man. And it's about just moving the team, the playing hands back and then moving them round. So there are early signs that he wants to do that. And, you know, I know people say it's only friendly and blah, blah, blah, but that's what you're looking for, isn't it? You're looking for shape. You're looking for what's going to be the identity of this team moving forward. Exactly. And everything you've just said there is, again, like it's quite linear what he's done with all his teams. It's to create an overload in the final third so that you're difficult to mark. We've always said how slow Everton have been over the last few years in the final third. It's almost walking pace sometimes as they try to move the ball, everyone's in. Whereas he likes to flood that area and people move around so that no one, you're getting away from markers, you're keeping the other team guessing. And it's really encouraging from my perspective seeing this, this early, that kind of transition already with these players into the things that he wanted to do. And if you look at Everton last season, certainly the back end of the season under Sam Allardi, it's jeng Torchner quite often being the only player in the penalty area. Well, he's it. We've seen it under the last three managers, how many times Rhom Lline Carch who would be isolated on his own, and how players wouldn't join him. That's a different way of things.

So it's all about, how can you make this set of players better when your assassin. We had the manager speak last night after the game and say, it's basically next week's going to be some big decision to where players are going to be told enough's enough. So who impressed you last night then? I thought you know what? I thought Sandro, I thought Sandro had a good game. I did a good hour, 65 minutes, wherever it was.

It looks like he could be part of Хорошо App. But one thing I would say about Dav is, I think that needs people to get him the ball so can use it on the ball. So the ball moves through him because every time that he has to ball he used it really well. He's got a great first touch stick to get away from his mark. And every time he got the ball he moved it really well so maybe it's a case of people getting the ball to him. o'n ddod, ac mae'n gweithio'n cael ei walch i sicrhau.

With the games you get it out it. I will point out that, from my point of view where I'm dissapointing, he actually let the lad run off him. It was a nice little chest through actually. It was a tidy finish. And we went in at half time, won that. Made 9 changes, the break... I mean obviously different team came out taking the half.

Felly e'n gweld gweld gweld. a nôr is good as what the other keeper is if you know what I mean, you know, you might get a centre back like John Stones who looks great bringing that ball out, but actually you can't defend properly. Yn o lech ar eich mygoe, do you know what it is today you go, you know, or a midfield player who can do one job and it's like well he's no good cos he can't do that. Nia, what's a centre forward there for? Primarily it's to put the ball in the back of the net. But on the same token, I suppose with Nias, you look at him and think well he doesn't fit the evident criteria because of all the reasons why we said when you're isolated and you're not getting chances and you have to hold the ball up and you have to bring other people into play like Jane Towson. Nias isn't that man, but when the game's stretched and when it's tight and when, you know, you're coming towards the end of the game and people are getting tired and there might be a half chance. He's the man, he's the man. This is why when people go, just sell him, sell him. You're like, why? If he doesn't want to go, why would you sell him? How much do you think Evan are going to get realistically? We put him up for sale now. 15, 16 million, something like that. 3 million. How much would Evan have to pay to buy a new centre forward who would score 10 plus goals? 25, 30 million. The lad seems happy at Evan. He seems to enjoy Evan. He knows the fans are with him. Okay, yes, people can say oh he's crapping all this and we'll never get anywhere with him. But he doesn't seem any trouble even though people have made out that he's trouble. When you're at the first day back at pre-season signing and you're seeing him there hugging the lad who he's supposed to have fallen out with. Who's a lad that is the most laid back person I've ever seen in football. And who was actually with him all the time and wasn't even in the team. So that was just a number. He seems like a nice lad who's got mates like Garner at the club. I think he's just generally quiet. I think he just keeps himself to himself. So what? I think what he is is he just probably thinks yes I could go somewhere else and I could play more games but it'd be slightly at a lower level. Do I want that? Is he probably thinks I'll get games here and I'll score goals and I'm happy. Do you know what I mean? He just seems like one of those fellas who's just like I'm happy. Obviously if Evan got off at the centre forward he was really good and great at scoring goals. You're always upgrading that. You're always looking so great. That's fine. But what I'm saying is right now, I don't know where our, because Jain Towson is quite clearly our main striker and should be because I think we have to give him that chance and we have to get him chances. He's scored five goals and 12 shots last season so we can get him chances quite clearly. He's good at conveying chances. Ni as is a good backup striker and then we've got, add like on other one, cos I think we should have four really cos I think Dom, too much pressure's put on Dom at times. And add like on other one and not show whether we'll get another one. I don't know. But if we haven't we've got three days having me striked off in Theo, can play through the middle if need be. But Ni as is perfect for that. He's perfect, like you've just said 20 minutes to go, games a bit stretched, Jain's maybe knackered or someone to assist Jain, get him up close to him or someone to blame. Don't forget Marco Silva used him wide as a wide striker on the left and on the middle when he had him. He's the reason probably why Ni as has got a chance in the Premier League cos he took him and built him up and believed in him. So for me it's a stupid argument to say get rid, unless you can massively upgrade, add keep him because we need someone, you can score goals. I like his attitude because we've written off, we all wrote him off, of course we did. We wrote him off basically because we didn't see him to not be able to make a choice. Of the wristlings. Yeah, but the wristlings if you've got a choice over it Dom. He was a big positive in for that second half. I thought Calum Connolly done well. I thought he was alright, I thought he was alright. Daily class him was an alright. But alright, it's not that he was alright. He's just not involved in games. It just passes him by thing. I want him to be good. Of course we all want him to be good. I want him to be really good and I want him to have a chance. I don't know whether that position at the tip of the diamond is his position. I'm not sure because like you said he just isn't in the game. And I don't know whether because in that position all he sees, he's not a dribbler. So all he seems to do is play a wall pass back in that position. So we'll just give it in and not knock it back there. But I think if he was deeper and everything was in front of him. Because you can tell he's got a good football brain. And he's intelligent with his passion. And he's done one great little run that kind of encapsulated him. He got involved, got round the back and cut it back to Connolly. And it wasn't the greatest ball that Calum couldn't sort his feet out. And then he got in again with another great run. And then the way is cross. You'll see he just smashed it to no one. But I think when the plays in front of him, I think he'd be decent. It's whether you trust him going the other way defensively. Now Saturday would have been a good thing for him to just get in and get a little bit of confidence playing in that. But if we're going to try and use him in like the dowel role, it's never gone away for him because he's not that kind of player. I think I started him there and ended up him. He was an eight then. He went in one of the two centre midfield plays. And that's when he became very successful and he got the captaincy because he can go about, he can run up and down. And he'd arrive late in the box and score. You don't arrive late in the box in the split striker because you're the one that's got to play everything off. And we've seen it when dowel done it. We've seen it when Guilfee played there last season. Everything has to go through you. When Wayne was there, things were going through. You're rather than you arrive late. I suppose it's, I mean, at the moment it is, obviously it's pre-season and it's about fitting people into a squad and into a team. Sorry on the last night. Desage played the deeper off. Desage played well. It's all kind of people who don't all right. Yeah, he doesn't really do anything really. I don't think that way. Carry the ball. No, I know. Three or four times. He's mad best. He picks the ball up and then just tries the hardest route to get anyway. He does and that's fine. I appreciate why he tries to do things. He's a footballer who thinks he's got ability and he tries the harder things when sometimes the simpler things are on. I just don't see him fitting into what I'm afraid. I really don't. But you're right, he did okay. I don't think he was tested that much because he just looked bigger and stronger but he just looked stronger and more capable of keeping the ball. But that's all he can do, isn't it, really? I don't know because it's just a fitness exercise and to show yourself. I thought Anthony Robinson don't all right as well. Thought he'd done okay. He got up and down. He's actually quick. I think he did okay. I think I'd like to have seen him take the full back on a little bit more and just use that pace. He got round the back of him once and put a, twice sorry, one he put across him which was too deep on one he put it in a decent little area. But I'd like to see him push him run a little bit more because that to me is what you'd be using him for and what you'd be asking of him. You've got to listen to fitness dictates. You don't always want to start hitting the sprints with you if you're not. You've got to test it. No, but not if you're not fully fit. You don't want to push something. If you're in a game situation now, you should be. But I'd like to see him, because at times he was getting the ball and he was stopping and he was just knocking it inside and that's fine. I'm not criticising that by any means. I'd just like to have seen because I've seen it. We've both seen it. We've seen how fast he is and I'd like to see him take that full back on a few times. I'd like to see that full back on a few times. It's a nice left foot. So, you know, do what bangs does, or use it to get on the outside, put the crossing. Thrive at the box, but I thought he was nice and positive. Didn't show any nerves. But I mean, he just looked comfortable enough. I think I'm trying to say that it's nervous. Good on the ball. But yeah, like you say, they stuck to the task really well. They defended really well. They got blocks in when they needed to. They added the good fortune, of course. You know, Cucamartiner at the post with a header when he probably should have scored. Yeah. And they had the keeper's made important saves at the nine. He asked the winner at the end and things like that. And it ended in a draw. It is what it is. We're better finishing. We've stuffed them, but that's the way it is. This is what pre-season's for, to get sharper, to give the man an idea of what's going on. I mean, we could see the technical director was sat by us, going through the, you know, we were sat with us. And sat with us, yeah. Laptrap on that. But he was going through the stuff and you could make a note and everything. It looks all very like they're on. They're on to the stuff, you know. The ride on top of everything Marko was directing. You know, and pulling people around and stuff, which was really good, rather than just standing there watching. He was very involved in the game. As was Ryan, a lot to be fair for them. So, the then positive signs are there. I spoke to a couple of people before the game, on the coach and stuff on that. They're quite happy with how it's going and it seems nice and positive. So, all in all, it's moving in the right direction. We know that we need to upgrade the squad. But I've been quite pleased with what I've seen so far. It's not perfect by any strategy of matination, but a lot brighter already. Don't forget what we watched from basically all of last season, but certainly from November through to May. I think there's an idea of what they want to do and I think it runs through everything they're doing at the moment. You have to be patient though, don't be a little bit. We've got to be having... It's going to take time isn't it? In terms of what we're seeing on the pitch, of course you've got to be patient, it's not an overnight. Listen, if people want to get upset about what's happening off the pitch, right? Go mad, go for Michael Douglas, right? Don't go for Michael Douglas. Because when he goes in the shop, he ends up on Santa Monica Pier. But when he goes in the shop at the start, he's on a fella just like that. It's just a little bit too aggressive. I've been there and I've wanted to do that. Anyway, if you want to go mental about the fact that you haven't bought anyone yet or the luckman situation or whatever, do that. I'll sit there and I'll tut when I see it on Twitter. But that's up to you. In terms of what's happening on the pitch, I don't understand this idea of that. They were going to go from one thing to another thing, like that in the space of a couple of weeks and a couple of training games and a pre-season game. Without the likes of the goalkeeper, Guilfee, Garny, Wolcott and just generally being fit. So, and luckman even last night. What did you make a luckman not being the story? You can look at it any way you want, can't you? You can look at it and be very suspicious and go, oh right, you know. He's got a knock, conveniently, but Mason Holgate had a knock and didn't play. But everyone at Adamont had a knock. Everyone had come out and said, he's not for sale. But this story about them sending a scout. Number one, what do you need a scout for? You had them for four months. What do you need a scout for to watch him? To try him. No, I know what they're trying. I think they're just keeping the story. But I think what they're doing is they're keeping, making sure that luckman knows that they want him. Listen, it's frustrating because we'd like to keep him. It's frustrating that he sees his future elsewhere. But from his point of view, he's a 20-year-old lad that isn't living at home and wants to play football. So he's moved away from home and wants to play football. He's come here. He was obviously promised a progression into the 13. He came here. The worst thing he probably could have done was score against Man City on his debut because then that's given unrealistic expectations on both sides. We know Ronald Coomans' man management was fabulous. So we fell away a little bit at the first half of the season. Ones, he got him back in the side and then all of ice came and he was back out the side. And I think he probably understood it at first but the Liverpool game, when he played really well and everyone knew he played really well and then that was it. He was gone again, I think, then he probably just told them. He's gone out the door and gone to Germany and they've looked after him and been made up with him and he's scored the winners and used them correctly and he's ended up playing really well towards the end of the season, getting spoken about positively. And he's probably thinking, well, I'm not never a fan. And I've been there for, I was there a year. Christmas to Christmas. They've hardly played me. I wouldn't even say... I don't know how they've treated me. I wouldn't even say they've hardly played him. There was no clear path for how we were going to use him. We brought him in. He got on, he scored. After he got on, he got on a palace. And then West Army came on and it was almost like, yeah, he scored in that game, didn't score in that game, didn't score in that game. We're going to stand you down now. And then he got used in a few under-23 games, not that many. He'd come on in a couple to make sure they won the league. And then at the beginning of the season just gone, he started them in the Europa League games, took them off for half-time over in Croatia. And then he wasn't really used again. And then he was off the team and at times he'd be backing the team. You can understand why he was not happy with it. Well, that's it. So for him, like I said, he's got no affiliations to have it. He's gone to a club where it's not even from the North. So he's probably like, well, the North. You know what I mean? He's from South, I think. So he's probably looking and going, well, are these going to give me a chance where you've got Ralph going? Well, the thing about that is though, in Germany it's weird because he started exactly the same, he'd come off the bench and scored a goal. And then he went quiet for a few weeks when it all started. The goal was just a moment. And then it was like, oh, actually, you've got an adjuster playing here and in the system. And then it took him a little bit of time. And then he got back in the side. Started doing things, actually doing things. It was not just little cameo moments, actually doing things because he was bedded into the system. And then consistently went on a run because he'd laid. So he's what he's seen is that it took him two months to get to know the system and how he played. And once he got that, while still playing and not being out of sight out of mind, still playing, still adding things to it. Playing poorly, but playing and leaning. To the point where in the last five or six games he's scoring goals and making goals. And he'll look at that and go, well, I'm going, why could never have done that? Why couldn't he have said, you're important to us? We're going to play you through the goal and through the bad. You know, bless him, he's out for a year. You know, there's times when he could have played in that time on that left hand side. But he wasn't. And it framed me up how he'd be looking and going, these are done this in three months I have laying more there than I have laying to Revan. So he's only been back two weeks. Do you know what, or three weeks now, isn't it? So for him to ball playing football and he might look at Revan and go, I'm not going to play you. He's like using me now. But these want me, these have put me in their first team. I've played well, got in that team. And for all we know, like, well, he probably are going, we want to build a team around you. You're an integral part of our team. You come here, you're in. You're like, it's up to you. It's yours to lose. Whereas everything might be like, you've got a battle to get in here. They are a good team. They're challenging. Not saying they're going to win the German league and I'm not saying the German league is going to the Premier League, but they're in Europe and they are challenging for the champions that he plays in. We're not going to do either of those things this season. So from that point of view, I go, they're actually better. And they're better for my development because the league suits me because maybe it's not as good or maybe it's not. Well, it's not as good as obviously. All of the youngsters are going to play in the same sense. But you can get over there, play, play every week and then maybe once, you know, I've been there for a couple of years, maybe then I'll get out and move to there and go back to London or something. So from those points of view, you're probably thinking, this is well better for my development than playing for Everton. So I hope he doesn't go on. I hope that Everton. I hope Everton stick to the guns. Well, Everton should really just say, look, we want you to stay going to be part of it, which we know the brands and silver have said. And we'll look at it at Christmas if you've had no thing. Because of life's sake, we want you that much, they still want you at Christmas. But you've got the thing. But I don't know. I mean, if it might look at it and go off, he keeps making noises. If it might go off, you actually don't play. You hardly play for us. So if these come in mid-25 million, we'll sell you and then we'll go and buy someone else with that money. But hopefully, I'd rather we just kept them and then if we could add another one, which we quite clearly want another one, then we could maybe move Balasi out and stuff and then you'd have them well caught. Would it be with some news? If we were to lose Balasi before he went, that would be a big sign to look mum, wouldn't it? And it looks like, you know, if you're going down the aisle and no smoke were out of fire route, Balasi's on his way, isn't he, to take it because every day there's another report. It's close now. It's going again today. It's the same thing. He's definitely been moving by. He might not be going to Portugal because he's going to. So by all accounts, that looks like it may move closer. We'll find out. We'll find out next week, I imagine, about a lot of things. Let us know your thoughts on this game. We'll be touching on more about, obviously, the possibility of out on the preview for the Algarve Cup and what this tournament will mean over the weekend. So make sure you look out for that.
