 Hello, welcome to Toffy TV. It is the match. Preview Sheffield tonight of Basis Everton. Again, Jack, that you'd think that Everton have got to win. Yeah, I mean, that was Wolves the other day as well, weren't it? It was, we could really do with winning this, and obviously we never. So a week on, we sort of need to win this even more now because, you know, we've conquered Doncaster, away in the FA Cup, in the Carabao Cup, picked up a major scalp. But in the Premier League, we're not in as good form, and we yet to score a goal, yet to pick up a point in things, really do need to change sooner rather than later. Otherwise, the magic of the Carabao Cup win won't be enough to keep Sean Dyson a job for much longer if we don't at least score a goal soon. Yeah, and obviously on the back of three Premier League defeats, two home defeats, we've got games coming up against Arsenal and Brentford away. We're going to be particularly very tough. This is a game where you're looking to think Everton really need to get their season going. Obviously, Sheffield's united yet to pick up a point harder. Being unlucky, obviously in all three games, they've lost by a goal in all three games. For a team that's been newly promoted, hasn't spent a hell of a lot of money, there'll be courage by that. I mean, that's again the difference between where we are and where they are. There'll be courage in that, and they'll be looking at this game thinking, this is a fantastic chance for us to take our first three points. They'll be looking at this thing and 12 kick-off at home. Big opportunity to support Everton more in the mud. We've got to go there on Saturday and we've got to put out a very professional performance and hopefully do the job. Yeah, it's not a six-pointed as such, but it is an opportunity to a team we're going to be competing with in similar positions as you would imagine, another team that some feel tipped for relegation. You can take some points off them as well and really put them in the same way you're saying. They want to put us favourite into the mud. We need to do the same to them. We need to leapfrog them. We need to make them the team that are going to put them bottom of the league and propel us upwards. To be honest, the one sort of positive I have for this game is, is the fact that last week Sheffield united played Manchester City. Obviously they're not going to have a lot of the ball. I think they ended up with about 15% or something. My mistake got them the goal. They're going to be looking at this game thinking we're going to have more of the ball. There's more emphasis to have the ball and go forward. I think that will benefit us. I think we're not going to go in there and get probably 50% possession. I think possession wise it will be pretty even. I think that's a bonus for us that they might have to come out and try and break us down. I know that hasn't been that hard. But I do believe that's a bonus for us because obviously when you play in Manchester City they'll be looking at that thing and they've got B21. They nearly grabbed a point late on. The crowd were, there was nothing to lose, the crowd were on it. But this week it's just become slightly different. It's almost, it becomes that must win game for them and can they grab all of the game? Can they go and actually create the chances? And I think that leaves me off the mystic. Yeah, well then come on off a decent performance in Luz Nepid city and actually scoring goals as well, albeit only two more than ever and they're the bigger hitters in front of goal at the moment compared to us there at home as well. So the emphasis is on them to take it to us. And maybe we've had two home games on the run now where we've made all the chances and we've dominated the game and we've done nothing with it. Maybe it'll actually help us to be a bit more selective with our attacks and to be the ones who are team has to come and break down. Sheffield and I would like to pack out the middles so they might well dominate the ball but it's what we make them do with it, that'll count. It's what we do when we win it back. That'll count as well. Yeah, they're coming off the back of a 0-0 in the league cup as well. They obviously got beat on penalties. So obviously goal scoring, you see from that game it's not their forte when they need to go and beat a side. It's not there. And I think that's somewhere we can definitely prosper in this game. We just have to get off on the right foot, don't we? Because obviously the home games for Evan have looked, we've looked all right. Obviously we've been beaten in both of them. But obviously against Villet and for the first half against Doncaster we were absolutely dreadful. We just don't seem to have an identity away from home. It's not saying we've got a massive one at home but away from home we just don't know how to dominate teams because we can't dominate teams. I suppose for this game the big plus point is obviously Beto's coming, came in 45-minute cameo, got us goal. And suddenly we do look like we've got a focal point in the team that can occupy the opposition to give them something to think about because I think we've been going into a lot of games. I mean, obviously the last game away, Villet, Dominic Arvillwn started but went off injured. But we just, we didn't know how to use them whereas I think with someone like Beto I think you can get more with less. I think the football we play is not brilliant. A lot of long balls, a lot of balls down the channel but I actually think someone like Beto can feed off. That can actually make something out of them more than maybe Dominic Arvillwn has shown, not that he's shown a lot in the recent months and year but we certainly have some money. We might just be, I'm not putting too much pressure on but we might be able to transform the way we play at the top end of the pitch. Well, I've spoken a lot in the last few weeks haven't we, about the lack of identity in the 17 which has spoken about Adenzu and the final word for everything that's done, Caster. Having a striker like Beto who has a specific style to his game, there are things he wants to do on a football pitch, things he's good at. Running in behind, chasing long balls. That immediately gives you, it gives you the plan, doesn't it? It gives you something to go to. You need more than that. You can't just rely on that but immediately it's something. It's one piece of the puzzle taking care of, isn't it? A move you know that's on, a passion you can make. So that immediately, it gives us something we can aim to do, doesn't it? Yeah, it's, you know, it seems to fit straight into the team because the team have been crying out for that. Obviously there will be changes for this side. You know, we were recording this on Thursday so we don't know what's going to get done before obviously the weekend. I don't think it's going to make any difference. He's can't play in this game anyway. It would be, you know, it would be good if someone like Dwight McNeill is available, whether it's off the bench, whether it's, whether he starts, the manager didn't give too much away just said he's back on the grass. Whether he gives them another couple of weeks with the international break, I don't know but hopefully this will be the catalyst having someone like that, the catalyst for someone that in general we saw for the first time playing, you know, playing off the left this week as well. So if we can just get things going, update, I think take the pressure off the back line, hopefully get the midfield going. It's a lot of ifs, it's a lot of hopefullys. But that is the lift sometimes you need and if you can get through this game hopefully get a win when the international break comes to return from that. We have the likes of Jack Harrison, Dwight McNeill, any signings we brought in ready to go and just reshape this team a little bit. Cos again it's that thing of not starting the season with the players you need to take you forward and playing with a lot of players that we're already used to or we know we can't do the job and certainly with the injuries that hasn't helped but just give everyone a lift. Yeah, absolutely, just be going back to the football after the international break and just a much more positive stand-up, wouldn't you? Obviously if you do get a win it's not ideal to have two weeks away but I don't know if we can do about that but if we can come into that Arsenal game not in crisis mode with a win behind just hopefully a clean sheet as well and a couple of goals, you know, get that monkey off our back and just scratch that itch, just get rid of this pressure of needing to score a goal. I think the longer we go and not get them on the bigger issue it's going to become, isn't it? Yeah, I think the first thing we need to do is get me sure we get goals, you know, get goals and hopefully, you know, that turns into wins. It's not just about not winning games it's about not scoring goals, you know because if we had scored goals in those two-one games we're winning those games as far as I'm concerned. That's the big turn around. It's scoring goals without there being a mass change of things. It's saying this team can actually score goals it would have scored goals if it had the striking in that's the big thing for me. Everything else will change slowly the players coming back maybe getting used to you know, just sometimes it will be difficult beginning to see and you're still coming off that pre-season mode. It can be difficult for me it's scoring goals naturally it's taking those chances that you've already had in other games putting it in the back of the net I think that's the big thing for Evan and certainly that will start with this game. That's the differences from these two games to out of the three where we did dominate and we made unlucky to win but we were, it was our own fault we didn't take our chances we made enough chances to win and we didn't take them got a striker through the door now you know, he got ten goals last season so he's not a goal the game striker but he is more prolific than what we've got so hopefully now we can start taking the chances we've been making and we can show that the performance is there but you were just missing the crucial element of it to finish it off and that would immediately just calm everyone's arm a little bit I think. Let's have a little look at Sheffield United's team from the last game playing three obviously playing three, five, two you know, it's a mix it's not like lots of Premier League names in there obviously the name that we've pointed out there is Norwood let's just have a little look at his stats XA of 0.3 Pass accuracy 77, one key pass Jules 47% tackles per game two heat map obviously all over the pitch but they're not they're not exactly blessed with lots of talent they've come up, they haven't thrown the kitchen sink out they know what they're doing, they're bringing in some clever little some clever little freeze and stuff and obviously they brought Tom Davison it'd be interesting to see whether he was involved because he wasn't involved in the cup and it's just been on the bench so far so for them they are just trying to get through and they've had, as I said a couple of decent buys nothing to break but if they go down they'll take all that Premier League money and invest it again and then come back because they're not a team with massive resources but they're not blessed with technical ability but already Ilman Endai was there sort of a technical gifted player he's obviously left Oliver Norwood he's more of a worker so he's an engine in the middle of the park if you look at the team itself if you know three at the back they're trying to make a solid, honest hardware and team a big man, little man combination up front they're just trying to get the basics right on they can get by doing that the three at the back suggest to me that maybe we'll see Evan and go with the you know the striker and the player playing off set up again whether that's the core I ordered and you're playing off hopefully better because then you can go two up against three again you know, as big a disadvantage with just one man sort of lost up front on his own let's have a look at the Evan team from the last game in the Premier League um what can you see like you look at our side obviously can you see many changes from that side obviously Dan Duma was playing you know was playing up front James Garner's on the right, Dom was on the left obviously actually he doesn't get left back can you imagine many changes obviously Beto we imagine is going to come in yeah I think Beto starts up front and Dan Duma maybe becomes the winger replacing Dobbin I think Garner maybe stays at right wing just in the absence of any other replacements, you know Dice said Mithniol might be back and he's very non-committal on that if we're going on the side he's not coming back we're just going with what we've got Garner probably continues on the right side which isn't ideal but what else do we have yeah I mean after the recent performances I think James Garner could find himself playing right back I don't think Nathan Patterson started the season at all well and I think we saw from the sub at our time against Don Castler that the manager maybe trusts him more there if he's got the plays to play in midfield if McNeill's available he might start McNeill on the right Dan Duma on the left and obviously play Beto front that might mean Garner goes to right back I think actually Younger will continue at left back I don't think Michael Enco did anything in the game and I think Tarkowski and Branthwaith not that in the game means that they're going to start in this game as well so I think that'll be pretty much it but having Beto in there as we mentioned it's a huge plus point it'd be great if Don could be available as well maybe on the bench takes the pressure off the likes of Shimiti listen we don't know whether Mo Pies is going to still be at the club as well but suddenly having Don's available on the bench as well wearing a mask suddenly you've just got a couple of options haven't you just to change it up and give them something to worry about you can even go to up top to out and I'll strike as up top at one point potentially if Calvert Llewyn is available Dalty will be sure and Deish didn't seem very confident he would be he said he didn't want to aggravate the injury again fair enough but once he is back definitely you have got the option then of start Calvert Llewyn or start Beto or start both of them you've got options to play behind them whether it's Dan Joomer or Decorey or maybe even Shimiti gets a shot at one point you've got options for the wings McNeill, Harrison, Dan Joomer again hopefully another addition so that'll all come in the coming weeks at the moment was still a little bit limited I'd like to see James Garner right back but it's just for the fact that he might have to fill in a right wing I don't think we will but again in future weeks we've got that option there haven't we no we definitely have and I think some like Paterson might need to just be taking out the firing line just for himself, just for now go away with Scotland play for them a little change of scenery hopefully he gets back in the groove cos I certainly think he's got a future I just think he's just he's not quite being at it this season that might be helpful a lot of factors who's playing in front of him who's playing alongside him and for him it's not he's had injury problems and maybe just doesn't feel like completely 100% yeah who knows but there you go anyway let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one for me certainly it's a must win I think I haven't got to win this game I've got to get three points I've got to get that off there back and not be seen as the disaster club of the Premier League
