 Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the match between Chelsea vs Everton at Stanford Bridge Sunday. Two o'clock kickoff? Two fifteen. Okay, two fifteen. We'll go with that. Two fifteen, we'll go with that. Difficult game, obviously. Not somewhere we have fond memories of recently. Two fifteen. Apart from a winning the FA Cup after penalties, we've got nothing really to show. I've got a couple of draws in what? 23 years? 23 years. 24 years? 24 years. It's 23 games so far, I'll give you the stats now. 23 games, Chelsea have won 13 of those and drawn 10. Since losing 1-0 in November 1994. In all competitions Everton have won none of their last 28 visits to Stanford Bridge. We have won penalties but that's wrong, isn't it? In all competitions, because they've got drawn 11, lost 17, unless they just don't include the penalties. Only one team has had that winless away run longer than that. Spares went 25 away games without winning the Stanford Bridge. Everton have won one of their last 16 away games in the Premier League in London, drawing six losing nine. We've lost the last four in a row, all Jordan 2018. Sound the good this, innit? Chelsea are looking to remain unbeaten in their opening 12 games to a top flight season for only the second time they've done so in 2014-15, which was 14. Everton have lost 11 of their last 13 Premier League away games played on a Sunday. Chelsea have had a hand in 10 goals in their last 10 Premier League against Everton. Five goals with five assists. It just gets weird. That's all old news. It's not fake news, clearly. It's all old news. We've got a chance on Sunday, if nothing more, than to put in a good performance, hopefully go up a level from the game at Old Trafford on our last away trip, and use what we've been doing at home and away. Who knows? This could be the one. It's a very, very difficult game. Quite clearly, our record isn't very good at Stanford Bridge, but in those, in the past few years, we've had opportunities to win it. Last season we were well beaten, but under my harness, we were 3-2 up in injury time and should have won. That day we should have won, we batted them that day. We nearly did. We turned it up, Howard made a stupid mistake and they ended up getting it back to 2-2. We then scored and then 8 minutes into injury time, we let it go all in. And he was offside. We've had other times where they've scored in the last seconds against us. John said he got the win the day he wants in a 1-0. So we've always gone up and had a little bit of a go-day. Gone down by the way. But Sunday represents a different thing for us, because we feel like we're growing into a team and that has got the capability. We've got a front four that can cause any one problems. We've got a bench that has options on it, solutions on it, so to speak. The midfield looks like it's jelling. Now we've got Garner up against Cantable to be interesting. And then Gomez has added that little bit of class to us. So a lot of pieces are in place for us now. It's about growing. I'm not saying we'll go there and win on a go there and win. But what I will say is we'll go there and we'll have a right go go at them. And they'll know they've been in a game, hopefully, that we'll turn up. We performed very well at Arsenal until they won the game. We didn't perform as well at United, but we finished the game with nothing between us. Same amount of shots. We just didn't take our chances. And some would argue a dodgy referee in the season. We'd have got a point. So we've given a good account of ourselves. So it's about that again on Sunday really getting at them some questions while having to obviously watch. Yeah, they're a very good side, let's be honest. They're unbeaten in the Premier League. They're a strong side. And also they've got a good mentality as well. Last week they were winning and then Palace brought it back to 1-1. And then you've seen them step up to... I think there's no... I don't think there's any pressure on us to go there on Sunday. I think we've just got to not be overalled by it, which I think I still think at times we are, as I don't know whether it's a team or a fan base or a club or whatever. I think we're still a little bit in awe of these teams when we pay them. And that's just simply we pay them too much respect. And if we do concede, we sort of rather than going, right, come on, let's do something about that, we go the other way. And then we've got to get that out of our system a lot quicker. You know what I asked? No, we were 1-0 down, then we were 2-0 down before, you know it. And then we started to play again. United, we go behind and then we're sort of feeling sorry for ourselves and then come out second half slow and then go, come on lads actually, these are not that good. So I think we need to be a little bit more proactive on Sunday. And as you said, it's going to be difficult, but what it is as well is, it's a test to see where you are. It's, you know, we're all sort of happy at the moment. We've won a few games against teams that we should be beating. So it's a test to see where you are. And I think what's good about the way I look at it at the moment is, I think in the last few years, you know, we went there a couple of years ago and we were doing alright and we ended up getting beat 5-0. And we were, you know, but before we went there, we were alright. I think we were all sorts of positive going into the game and then you've seen the real mark of where you were. But we came out, I think we didn't, the response was poor, whereas I look at this game and I think, well, for me, the way I look at it at the moment, I think the club are looking at it and going, we'll see what happens and we'll respond well. If there's weaknesses in the team, we'll try and improve them, we'll try and go out there and buy better players and that's how we'll react. And I think that takes a bit of pressure off. It shouldn't take too much pressure off, but it just takes a little bit of pressure off the game and it's enough pressure that you can live with it, live with it and then hopefully play your game without feeding. Cos that's always been the thing. It's going into these games with too much fear and you think about it, what is the genuine fear of losing? If it leads you to lose the game, then what's the point where the top clubs don't seem to have any fear when they play teams and that allows them to be free and play their football? Yeah, it's a psychological thing, isn't it? And you don't know where that starts or ends because over the years there's been many different players that have gone to these grounds with us and they've lost. Now, sometimes the team wasn't good enough, so that's why they lost on Chelsea way. Other times, the team was probably better than it showed and lost. Maybe Chelsea were in a good moment, as they say, or whatever, but we just went and we got beat because we were playing Chelsea way. Teams like Southampton went there in month 3-1, it should have been on 8 and Bournemouth won there and Crystal Palace have won there and you can go back through the years and they've had them dod your results. I look at the West Ham game against us in September. We always beat West Ham around. The beaters were a couple of years ago when we threw the game away, but in general, we normally turned them over comfortably around. We beat them four in the last season when we were struggling. They turned up with a terrible record against us and beat us 3-1 just on that day because we didn't take our chances and they took everything that came their way. I think they only had four chances and scored three of them. That's what we have to do with one of these games. You've got to go there and win them opportunities come along. You've got to take them. It's like now with the mindset with Old Trafford. We haven't got a great record of Old Trafford, but I'm fair going to Manchester United at all and they're up there. Last when we went the other week, I thought we beat these. We never feel it going yet, you had. You know, we never feel it. As they were getting better, they was, no, we never feel it and we went and we went. We were you and we kept on getting us beaten. We were kept on getting results against them. You know, we did last year and got a result. You know, four women got a result. We led in both of them games. It's the idea of having to go somewhere. It's why the dab is such a big thing now. It's this hangover of like, we haven't beaten them for so long and it's the fear of losing of years before. You carry in the baggards of years before and that's the thing and one thing I hope doesn't happen is if we do lose on Sunday. And but we play well. How people don't go to, you've got to keep a better perspective. Us as well, you know, because if we lose, you're always down and you think, when's this going to change, you know, but you have to try and get back on the horse and go, we are going in the right direction. It's like you said earlier on in this, it's a measure of where you are. If you can look at it, if we play well on Sunday day, regardless of the result that we play well and we have a right go go, surely people will look down and go, you know what, we were in the game providing it's not 6-1. We were in the game at Arsenal. We were well in the game at United. We've now been well in the game at Chelsea and these are teams that are at United that are a bit hit in this. But Arsenal are bang up there. Chelsea will be bang up there. And it gives you that little bit of confidence, Liverpool's the next away game. So, it's looking like you said, you're assess it then, you go, you know what, 12 months ago, we went to these grams and we just turned up and when Chelsea beat us last year, they just went like that. You know, they beat us too many, they could have beat us whatever they wanted. They got too many up and it was like a stroll in the park and I think the last five minutes we had like a chance off like the past three millions I missed the sitter at the end and stuff like that. But they didn't break sweat. The year before they beat us 5-0, and we really did battle us and things like that. You've got to get them out of your system, you do that by progress and that's what we're seeing, we're seeing a better level of performance. Now, can we go all day and can we get a result, can we draw, can we win? We've got the players to win the game. If both teams play to their maximum ability, they will probably win because they're still better than us. We have to drop a level a little bit. We play to the best of our ability, we can beat them. You know, that plays have had over a week's rest. Some of their plays involved in the Europa League and you love yourself there here. Yeah, you know, put the pressure on me to talk. So, they've got that, they've got the fact that you never know the stars might align and we might go down there and do the business, as you say. All the teams have done it and it's that idea of no-one expects us to win, to play your football. There's no real pressure if you lose the game because if everyone's sort of if everyone's together and sees it as progress building forward we're keeping reasonably the same team as well. People are getting to know each other. Obviously there's going to be a fundamental change Sunday with me coming into the side with Zoom and that is a little bit of a worry because obviously it's a lad playing his first competitive first competitive start. He had a couple of minutes at the end of the game last week. So that is a little bit of a worry. Is he going to adapt to the pace? You know, next to a lad he's not playing next to him. I'm sure they'll have done loads in training to get him prepared for this game. But there will be little moments because he won't be fully up to the pace of the game. Or the pace of the game at times might take him by surprise. It's okay sitting here watching it, training it. But when you're in it, your first 20 minutes you might come under pressure and it's Jesus, I've got to try and think of getting a breath for you. If you take that breath at the wrong moment that is a bit of a worry. We've all wanted to see him. He's there and he'll play. He cost us a lot of money and it'll be it'll be interesting to see how he gets on. He's a worry for them though, isn't he? He's a worry for them defensively and offensively because he's a non-quantity to them. So he's a big lad, you know, off-corn he's keen six foot, what four or something like six foot three you know, two big units going off set pieces and stuff. You're seeing him the other night, you know clearing corners, having editors off to, you know, should have really scored probably just the time and was off that all. So he's going to come in and you write it I did, he'll come in and have an absolutely wealthy of a debut and you go oh my god. But we just need him to be steady really and him and keen just not take any chances, do the right thing and get at them and make sure they know they're in a game and if he could go they've got it like you've just said they've got a Europa League game there's sometimes a hangover after that of like you're just not quite at the level of the Sunday you're not quite where you should be these kind of teams generally still be able to turn it on but it does happen, it's happened in the past we go there, the pressure is all on them they're trying to keep up with they're trying to keep pace with City and keep pace with Liverpool on them, the most important thing for us is that we play well we do the things that the manager wants us to do and the players are able to do it, if the players are able to do it and we cause them problems Richard Ellison tore them apart last season, he should have ended up with he scored one I think, he should have ended up with five, he missed absolute cities but he's a threat he's a danger to them I think that front four is a threat whether it be the same front four it's a threat, Ruchman comes into the side there's obviously a lot of noise about him his attitude seems to have been really adjusted and just watching them do the night in the go home area game, obviously the level of opposition was way down but the fact that he always wanted a ball and he always wanted to be positive and he always wanted to take people on, at times I thought he did too much and should have made it a little bit more simple when you're playing against opposition you know you've got the run of them and you enjoy doing those things, you're going to do them so it'll be interesting to see whether that change happens I think one of the most interesting things about this game is Ross Barclay playing for Chelsea I think he's been on a decent run recently back in the England squad, a lot of noise made about him by the press because the press at the end of the day they want a young English player they can sort of get behind so then they can knock him down so there's been a lot of noise about him so it'll be interesting to see how he gets on in this game and you know, obviously there's not going to be any special plans for him you never know, he might do what he faced when he's trying for, he might clap the away fans but I can't imagine he's going to get a good reception off the effort on Sunday which again, it just adds another sort of level to it, really trying to do too much with that his performance he's not, I mean listen he's a good player I'm not really over worrying about him because the rest of the team's so good, I know Hazard's been out recently with a bit of a back injury but they've still picked up wins they've got plays in form he's back to some kind of form he's got plays like Faber de Gassie William, he's been playing really well Ross is doing well for them he's got peds around he's got very, very good plays Chelsea at the end of the day and there's strong side but it's a test isn't it Barkley, you know, will he play he knows he's playing in the Europa League will he pick up a little twins and he's out of the squad he'll want to play of course he will it's up to us to combat that but not specifically, he just won't play our game we know Ross is a good player very good player but we've got good players you know, André Gomez, like you said has been fantastic for us if he can get his second half performance against Manchester United from the off against Chelsea you can cause them problems that for me is one of the big eight that midfield battle is going to be huge because they've got really talented players who can really cut your open you know, with Cante they've got the engine room the way we've got Garnet so it's going to be I think it's going to be You look on a day midfield trade it's going to be Cante, Georgino and Ross Barkley that's what it's been so all things being equal that's what it'll be Sunday and they're up against Garnet so you've got Garner and Cante Georgino and Gomez and then you've got Guilfey and Ross haven't you? the call face a bit basically the diamond a bit so then battles are intriguing because those three midfielders against three, you know, Cante probably shade Garner Georgino and Gomez haven't seen that much and no Georgino keeps the ball really well he has a lot of the ball but Gomez has been fantastic for us so you know, probably Georgino but Gomez is very good and there's not much in that and then Guilfey by far outshines Ross Barkley so and we know that because we've watched Ross for a number of years, we're not 10 games in but he's got the talent and then you look around a pitch and you go over to Alasen Marathe and that's rather over to Alasen personally, Alvaro Marathe's a good player and then has had to walk in any team but like you said he's not being fully fit we've got Bernard, we've got Walcott you should be very well for Arsenal against Chelsea so it's there, you know, it's an interesting game it's putting the performance together isn't it at the end of the day it's saying it's going there it's believing you can win it playing to win it but obviously without this manager will go there and say to these players you can win this today get at them and attract but that's the only way we know how to play now oh sorry, the only way he wants to play is to attract teams and push them on the back foot and when they get a corner we know we're dangerous now as corners you know when we're defending a corner where our most dangerous are breaking so that's what it all comes down to and it may be fine margins in this game and those fine margins might be Walcott not switching off off a short corner in these games if you're going to beat these teams it does come down to fine margins it does come down to closing people down at the right time there are all the things because you've got, you can't you know, it is, if Hazard picks the ball up inside his own half you've got to deal with it then you can't deal with it later there are the things ever that have got to start doing you know, like you just said you've got to be switched on all the time set pieces, good players will find a way they don't just throw it into the box they'll do something creative it's being switched on you know, we know and most teams will know that they go to stand for bridge they're going to be put under pressure for condensed periods and it's whether you can be alive you've dealt with the first one are you alive to the second one that's what most deal teams deal with and we see the good of some part we're the better second of our teams because we start laying into teams and it's sound when you deal with the first one look at Crystal Palace it gets pushed out have you got the quality then to put it back in and have they got the focus to put themselves back no, they didn't and we did and Carvent Lewis scores a goal you know, that's the again, Seamus has gone last week Gomez runs with the ball it breaks for Seamus and he puts it in we were ready and it's the same I think that's where in recent times we've gone wrong in away games is that we just can't cope we've sustained pressure and that's why we always seem to concede one goal after the next goal what we have to do is we have to clear our heads if they go 1-0 we have to clear our heads and go you know what because the good teams do it the good teams just go right or right you've scored, kick off we keep doing what we're doing again and they get the essay themselves backing the game we did it to a set next end against Brighton where's that come from get back on the ball, put your foot on it go again, pass it, move it, pass it and if we can do that at Chelsea because we didn't do it at Arsenal we switched off and it was tuned I know the second goal she understood but it did and we were 2-0 down punched her on going oh I'm gone and then we cleared our heads and went back but even that in the past there's far too many times when that happens and whether it be 1-0, 2-0 we'll be beaten now we'll finish that with other teams the best teams if you're 2-0 down and you get back in the game you've got to score that first goal we're 2-0 up and the other team the other team will score we all go whereas we never have that mentality the other way around we very rarely go if we get one back then look at Wolves at the weekend Wolves were 3-0 down and the game was dead and buried they were well out of it triffy it tries to nutmeg someone in the corner flag break break penalty goal 3 won bang penalty 3-2 and then Sperser hang on we missed a chance for 3-3 and you go on we were 3 this game was done, we've seen it with us we've been coasting we were 3 in the lobby I remember a new castle game a couple of years ago it was so one sided until it went 3-1 it can be done that's what it is, it's clear stay in the game keep doing what you're doing don't abandon all hope start smashing it now keep passing don't go behind go in front go in win 2-0 and just go to Chelsea didn't play as well as they could the tactics we should have been betraying for 24 years go in win I remember Joe Royal when we went down there that day we were in terrible form we were near the bottom of the league and it was like we're going to attack these today we got him, we just went and beat them and you're right enough but that's how teams get these results to just go there and go we've got to have a go on if we can put that mentality into these players we've got enough talent in this side in this squad now to go to places like Chelsea and beat them but we know that they're the top side and it's a mentality thing but if we go and play well we just need that one result to really make everyone else believe but fingers crossed if you thought in the comments are you confident would you make any changes obviously if there's one in force but would you make it any more let us know
