 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview. Everton Wazers, Wolverhampton, Wanderers. A game that fans will be at 6,500 fans. Not if 6,500 decide to be asked. I mean, the players don't seem to be asked, so why should the fans anyway? Baz will be one of those lucky people. He's so excited to be at the game. He is literally like itching on the couch to just get there. He can't wait to be back at Goddison Park. It's going to be spectacular. Where about you sitting? Up a bulnish. I mean, not where I'm in the corner to glad to see. Because there's not very many tickets left. That's fair enough. You're massively excited for this game. It's going to be amazing isn't it? The homecoming. Me boyish, so that's the most important thing for me. It should have been a game and I had something on it. It would have been there for exciting to have the crowd. But it'll be nice to be back in the stadium with fans watching the game before. They haven't been for 15 months, obviously, or 14 months, wherever it is, since walking out that United game. But just sad that the players have messed up what was an excellent opportunity to do something this season. That's it isn't it? That's it isn't it? The M.O. was quite simple. We're in the two home games. They've played bottom of the league and lost. It will be an interesting game because obviously some of these performances are still very raw. It's a weird one because fans will be excited to go back and I imagine that will trump everything once fans are in the ground. I just hope that the players can feed off that and can go out there and just get a result because ultimately still want to win games, still want to finish as high as we can. Still I'm still hoping for that 60 points. That was something I thought would be a sign of progression, would get to 60 points, would be getting to 60 points. The only way of keeping that alive is obviously winning. Obviously want to finish as high as we possibly can. Europe has gone now, but I still want to finish above Arsenal, finish above Leeds if we can. It's money as well, price money. The higher you finish the next place is a couple of million quid so you don't want to drop off for no reason, especially in these times and with fans not being a good person for so long the club have lost a lot of income there. 16,500 will feel like a lot there, especially if the players haven't played in any stadium for so long. We'll find a loan game this season, go over to the bank, win the game and send 16,500 people home happy and looking forward to when hopefully in August the majority of us will back there again. Will be interesting to see what it is like. I was lucky enough to be there in December with 2,000 there and it did feel it felt like the players responded to the fans and I know we won against Arsenal that week as well as the Chelsea game. So it will be interesting to see whether that can lift the players and just give them a little bit of extra because it is a big thing and people used to be mown toxic and the fans and all the rest of it but to be honest this is our waste home record for many a year. I think if we don't win it's our waste ever home record and I know the circumstances are peculiar but I'm just hoping it gives the players what they need even though you'd like to think that you could do it without, they obviously haven't been able to do it without so hopefully they respond because we've got to get something out of them we've got to finish the season with something otherwise you carry it then don't you? You carry it into the summer it's a horrible feeling we had it last year you carry that anger and everything else into the summer months. You've got to go off in the right momentum we lost our last home game last season to Bournemouth which was depression but then obviously it was a quick turn around because of Covid and then we got some plays in so we did quickly kind of get over that but this is a normal pre-season trend weeks or whatever it's going to be between games so it's a long time and I know we've got another game after it but you always walk out of the last home game think okay we did well we've done well we're going to get back in August and let's do the right thing but playing against the team we've had some injury problems this year just sat right in the middle of the table at the 12th or something like that nothing for them to realistically play for it's up to us to make sure that we're the one with the you know cos we owe the team most every ever time in a performance on Wednesday because of the shambolic nature of the performance against Sheffield United and to just being a team that has won one game in 2021 at home and it's me it's an embarrassment I think if you're a footballer being embarrassed to be part of that team and can't win home games and you there must be that element of frustration when you think about it as a player they add your in their own hands and they're going to miss out on it because they've been unable to get themselves up for home games they've been unable to find the answers you know had they got a point on Sunday and had they got a point in a couple of other games they've thrown away that would have been all the difference you know, Villa if the Villa game would have ended 1-1 with the defender properly and we got a point against Sheffield United I said who knows that might have been enough so it's a missed opportunity and when you're part of a team that's blown opportunities like that it must wind you up and the players have to come out and battle but they will I think we'll win this game because of the crowd Wolves I've still got some good plays no question about that but the crowd should be there enough to fire us up and it's getting the first goal we've said it so many times with Evan a lot of the games we've lost certainly at home we haven't got the first goal and that's been the issue and we didn't again on Sunday and in fact I think the only home game that we've lost when we scored the first goal was United wasn't it so and that was back in the end of October I think it was so it's up to us to go and put Wolves on the back foot and beat them it's hard to, as I said that's the only factor isn't it having fans there that's different from the other home games and it will be interesting to see what factor it does having as you said there there's also the factor of I suppose the pressure's off which is pathetic in a way barely but and we're playing a team who's got nothing to play for either and funnily enough in the last couple of weeks we've seen some entertaining games actually for teams that have got nothing to play for it's just whether Everton can rise up to the task of just doing what needs to be done and that's the sad thing you've just railed off some games there where all they had to do is do enough if you know what I mean just do enough get the first goal, be professional and go on and win the game and that's what we've seen from other teams, that's what's going to get teams your up though isn't it it's by doing that, it's just by winning those games that you'd expect to win we've done it ourselves a lot of times we used to do it on the moys all the time where it's just about winning the games you're supposed to win and actually it's not the games we've won funnily enough this year it's the games that we've not supposed to win that we've won that's what makes it even worse though when you win take points off teams that you're not supposed to take points off and it just feels like it's for nothing feels like it's for nothing doesn't it we've had the season where we've won at Amfield for the first time, we've won at Arsenal for the first time in years, we've won at Tottenham we've beat Leicester up there we've won at Ellen Road a place we don't really win that often we've won at West Ham the other week you know big wins against these clubs and to do with United and then we're going to get to the end of the season ultimately we haven't achieved anything and it's just going to be like on one hand it's good because you've got rid of some unwanted records but on the other hand it's like yeah we nearly end up anywhere else though and you're better than we are that's the disappointing thing and I think this team could have really and the club could have really done with the European football next season a great opportunity with a lot of teams being in flux this season together and everything when we won at West Brom I didn't think there was any way we wouldn't qualify for Europe I thought the Champions League was a flip of a coin because we were right in there don't forget we went fourth when we beat West Brom in March and I think we've won two games or three games sitting 10 or something and we've had a lot of games that people will go barely around spears you want great Sheffield United any of those games Crystal Palace we didn't have anything to play for and on the night we're like beat us three or four and now we're not bothered we didn't Sunday school in the 87th minute so those players since beating Southampton I think there's been five of their own games and we've got one one of them so it's on them isn't it and they're the ones we feel and suffer so much because we've got no influence on it and certainly this year we've had no influence of being able to scream or shout but where the ones you carry it with us for days makes you feel a month and years isn't it those players come and go they might be gutted in Finch fans today so they're devastated but I doubt it so this will be an opportunity for the fans to shout and scream and let the players know exactly what's acceptable and what isn't and I bet you're evident in putting a good performance and I bet you're evident everyone runs around because there's nowhere to hide when the crowd are there and we've for many many years regardless of the manager in general we've had a good home record regardless of who the manager is because the crowd so that's the thing I'm looking for Wolves like you said are a good side there's a lot of games left they've got injuries themselves but for them it's a game of 40 if you lose so they'll be looking forward to getting to mulling you on Sunday with crowd and they'll probably win their home game so that's what it's like and for Everton we have to listen what would be really mad and this still could happen although it's a huge huge ridiculous long shot as Everton could win the next two games and still qualify for your which is bizarre because Spades have got a game and a game at Leicester which Leicester are going to need to win so Everton could end up somewhere when you're it'd be almost a miracle because I couldn't see Everton beating Man City's 15 but what we have to do is get on 59 points on Wednesday night and give us an opportunity to maybe nick a point at City and get to that 60 points because 60 points will be progression albeit it will be very disappointing on the way decisions Peter does I thought 60 points when we got to the halfway stage of the season would show that we were going in the right direction but the second half of the season has just been pathetic it really has, it's been utterly pathetic we had three wins in a row and we delivered to Southampton and West Brom that was our best run and that sort of propelled us into where we are now where we could have, after the full game we looked like we could have dropped out of the top ten very easily in that top those three wins kept us in and around there but it's been an awful second half of the season and hopefully all we can do now is finish it hopefully finish strong some of the stats looking for our first league double over Wolves in 75, 76 they haven't always been in the spotlight of course I'm not going to read that one Wolves haven't kept the clean sheet in any of their last 12 away games six of the last 15 Premier League goals and meetings between Everton and Wolves have been netted in the opening 15 minutes of the game and we don't start well so Everton have lost their final home game in the league in three of the last seven campaigns it's just mad isn't it and before that Everton had won every home game for seven years prior to that run Wolves have lost their final away league game in the last four seasons I'm not reading that one or that one Everton and Wolves have scored each of his last two Premier League games sorry, goals scored in each of his last two Premier League starts against Wolves so get them in and give them the armband they're just one of the four clubs he scored more than once against in the competition in the last game Wolves lost 2-0 against Spares Wolves 18-year-old striker Fabio Silva had seven shots without scoring in whole cities in August 2009 had more without finding the net again that's just one game that's not what he has done or not it's just in one game so there you go Wolves we've got to do go out, work hard hopefully the crowd will inspire them they'll get the three points and finish the season because just think if we don't win on Wednesday by the time we play in August at Godderson it's going to be like five months or something since they won their own game or whatever, six months so it's a big game and we simply have to win it and make sure you do your toffy picks make sure you get them done only a couple more opportunities now to win £250 £500 prize pot
