 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview of Brentford versus Everton. A must win, absolute must win for the Toffys. It is though, isn't it? It's a must get something out of, that's what I would say. 100% must get something out of. A win, yes, but do not lose the game for God's sake. Got to keep putting points on the board at this stage rather struggling. Definitely. And it will be a tough game. No, it will be a tough game because obviously the squad is absolutely devastated. Over the Charleston obviously, due suspension. After waiting to see, even if we get players back, they are not going to be fully up to it. Brentford are having their own struggles at the moment. They will be desperate for the point and they will see this as a big opportunity to get points on the board this week. They are scoring goals, I think that's a bit of a difference. They can put the ball in the back of the net, it's just stopping the ball going in. I suppose we've just got to be positive, we've got to look at this game. We've got a tough looking fixture list obviously in the next few weeks and it comes thick and fast and that makes you certainly as a fan look at the situation as in you just can't see the wood for the trees at the moment. Obviously coming into December, really tough spell of games and you look at this one and think this is something, this is a game that we must get something out of. Because effectively what we need now is a pointer game for the rest of the season. I know that's just the base level of making sure that we finish in a not even a respectable spot just in a spot that's not obviously in the box. That's the point though, it's fine sitting here going, it's all going to be alright but we have to start picking up points because it's not, you can very quickly find yourself being in a position where you start running out of games effectively to have any kind of promising decent season. You've got to have a baseline, but the point being is the squad is on its ass and there's a lot of games coming up and we've got to start picking up points. It's not even a case of looking at going well, you forget about this game and you forget about that game. Even if you've got to start picking up points, you've got to start getting some kind of confidence, you've got to start getting some kind of way of playing that creates opportunities. That's what we haven't seen. What you've got to do as well is we've got to stop it becoming the thing that defines us as well. We've got to become a team that if we stay around where we are now by picking up points then you're looking and going, that's something to maybe in the second half of the season to build on to then maybe try and start pushing up the league. What you can do is get sucked into the lower part of the table but then all you're doing is then for the rest of the season just trying to get away from there and trying to get into mid-tables. So this is a hugely important game for confidence, for fans to get some positivity for the manager to look at and say, right, yeah, see, you can go and pick up points. OK, so it's week 13 of Ultimate Fan. We are going to pick our teams. Now don't forget there's a prize pot of £5,000 this week. And also a new feature of the game is now you can now set up your own little mini leagues. We've got a toffee TV one going on there. You'll find out all the details on our Patreon and our Discord if you want to be in our toffee TV league. So you can now set them up to play. Let's check out our teams for this week. Right, wasn't a great week for me last week. So Jamie Vardy, who's been my captain, he is going to, he's going to have to come out because he's just not good enough. Romelu'r Carku may be back for Chelsea. I'm taking the risk playing, you know, in a big game this weekend. So he's going to come in for Jamie Vardy. Also Tealmans is going to come out as well. I'm going to replace him with Sacher. I've also got Bruno Fernandez. He's coming out the side as well. Phil Foden is going back into the team. Mine is Chelsea also. It's my team. They've been my team for a while. I've got Van Dijk and Alexander Arnold in the defence midfield. I've got Kai Havertz and Golo Cante. I've got to make a change up front though. I've got Sadio Manny and I've got Retialysen, but Retialysen suspended it. So I'm going to go with Reid Mares. That's what I've gone with. That's my team for this week. All my players in our gold cards, by the way, in the side. But there's plenty of players out there from the free pack. That will do well for you. There's little stars for each side, of course. People like Che Adams, the Southampton people. That they're all doing their own little thing. They're doing better than me. Well better than me. So make sure to check that out. Base pack every Tuesday. You get your pack every Tuesday. Or you've got your silver option for £2.99. Or you've got your gold option for £4.99 a month. Make sure you check them out.

And you know, there's chances to win free cards as well from those leagues. So get involved in that. The links are in the description. So make sure you check them out with £5,000 prize pot this week to win. Yeah, absolutely. And the two points are there. So, you know, the beaters are above us from that. At the moment they're a rival aren't they? Because there's only two points between us. So that's what I said before. It is a must win, but it's definitely a must. It's definitely a must not lose. You know, we've lost games recently that we shouldn't have done. Sunday wasn't one of them. But you know, other games have been. Where we've lost, the squad is decimated at the moment, but hopefully, Gary Meane is available. The Corey, we don't know anything about at the moment. But no matter who's available, you've got to go out and battle and scrap for everything. Be organised. This isn't a game where you've got to sit on the edge of your own box and try to hang on like that Sunday was. This is a game, you've lost a Marey Gray with a huge player for us, Richard Allison, a huge player for us. But whoever comes in, and if it is Rondon, or Ellis Sims, if they give him a go, let's be honest with you, he's got to play with Rondon as far as any injury. He's got to actually look like a footballer this week and not just stand still. You've got to put himself above. And the manager, I think, needs to be saying to run yourself ragged for 50 odd minutes and then we'll take you off. Because you've got to give the team something. Don't play aggressive. But don't play that thing of like, I'll just get through it to play the 90 minutes. You know, go to anyone. I'd rather them go out, throw everything they had at it and be honest, knees after 50 minutes and you take them off and then put shims on or something and try to do it that way then to just be conservative with what he's doing. He's got to go up there if he's playing and show the Evertonians who are making that trip and everyone watching at home that he's worthy of wearing the shirt that day. Whether he's worthy of wearing the shirt long term, he's a different argument. But on Sunday, we need him because he's been here for two months now. He's not fit, he's never going to get fit. He's got to go out, battle scrap and fight for Evertonians on Sunday and give us a starting point. Even if it's keeping the ball to bring other people into the game, it's going to be difficult. The front three are looking like it's going to be, well, well, we may be. Anthony Gordon, you know, I've seen a lot of people saying throw Lewis Dobb in it and go straight for it. I mean, could he do anywhere, so I don't know. He's done all right in the 23s. It might be a bit too soon for him, but what I find, what might be really interesting in this one is how the manager lines up. He may change the formation for this one due to personal. If he comes back, he may play the enthrate because Brent would play the enthrate. He might match them up and go with the three centre backs and have Coleman a bit higher up where he can do a bit more defensively because he can't go up there on the other side. We're going to have three in the field. Gray has been out ball, hasn't he, for the entire season. Really? And he's not there? And he's not there, so they're going to have to come up. It might be, he does do something like that and starts having Dean. Because Dean's been really restricted, hasn't he, to be honest, and it's been done on papers. But if you've got Rondon, you want Dean crossing it. But we're going to have to come up with something. I don't think I will be clearly isn't the answer. And if he's the answer, I don't know what the question is. Who shouldn't play? Who shouldn't have bought the play? A ridiculous amount of money, from Arsenal. So it is, it's just play. Listen, what has to happen on Sunday is, as a collective, players have to step up and say, I'm going to do my job today, I'm going to win my battle today. Manchester City wasn't the best example of that. It's not the best place to... I do find fault with the first goal. I think when you look at a Cancelo as three touches before he plays the pass, why isn't someone getting over to him? The second one, Alan playing, trying to play a clever ball around the edge of the box, when you really should have just tried to put it, get it as far down the pitch as you can. We should be tougher. We should be tougher as a team. Things like kicking the ball out for the opposition when players are throwing themselves around shouldn't happen. We have to be tougher and more savvy as a side and say, you know what, you're getting nothing off us. If you score a goal, you have to really deserve that goal. That's one of the things you saw a little bit too much respect on Sunday. We should go back to the Spades game. Actually, sitting in that second half, I thought we grew as a side and we you know, certainly after the penalty incident, we weren't prepared to give Spades anything and there was fight and there was spirit and it came from the crowd as well. And I think if you could harness a little bit of that of like, you know, we're not going to concede today. To feel that against Spades, it was like we're not conceding that we're not losing this game and I think that has to come out in more games of we're not losing this game and it might be a case of like, we're not losing this game and we'll you know, we'll try and take the draw and then that leads to well actually, if we nick one, if we can get one off a set piece you know, then we can nick the game and that's what I think that's what listen, it's for you go back to like you go back to like three, four years ago and I went like, all the dice came in and that was his mantra a bit of like you don't, I know you had a good start but it was like you don't throw away points you stay in games you make it hard to be beaten and I think we have to start getting that mantra to pick up, start picking up points like you said before, don't lose the game pick up a point, who's to say this and it's a beginning of a tough week but who's to say that we could get five points out of that week you know Arsenal and Liverpool obviously would be really tough but they're both at all we could pick up five points in that and then suddenly you pick up five points things just look a little bit different and actually you've just played a couple of tough home games that you were looking at I think and oh god if you pick up five points because you have decided you know again to go back to Liverpool game and we drew Neil Mill you know when they were trying to win the league and that season and it was like we're not losing this game we're throwing our body on the line we're going to make sure we win our little battles and I think we've got to start getting back to that it's not what everyone wants to see but what we also don't want to see is limp performances where people just you can see the goal and people do the old you know the old putting the shirt on the face or throwing their hands up in the air but not actually pointing at them and going what are you doing why didn't you stop that and I think that has to start coming out because that at least if you get that fans can turn around and go that's trying because I think at the moment listen I know we've got loads of injuries and obviously suspensions are playing the part but that doesn't stop people from doing their jobs on the pitch that doesn't stop people saying I'm winning that 50-50 I think fans would look at people and go I'm prepared to give you a little bit more credit it's why like in the last few weeks aren't they going people have gone well he's having to go at least where you look at some other people and they're not they're wondering why they're not being clapped off the pitch because you're not having to go you're not having to go it's all foul it's not real you look at someone like a woby and you look at them and go you're not doing anything lad you wonder why you're permanently on the bench you're not doing anything so effective Delph had a couple of games in there against Manchester City it's the old I'm not going to have a go against these, these are my bread and butter when I finish playing and I think you've got to get to that level you've got to get that level that base level where you can go with at least players are having a go and really trying for the side and don't want to concede goals and if you get there that's something to build off and you can get that and you're not losing a game if everything stops losing games then suddenly it's like you've made defeats into draws and then it's about making draws into wins and it's when we do get our players back those players coming to a side that is in a position to kick off from what you don't want is those players coming back and being like is this all on us now to take this team forward I think the interesting thing is is that stop losing that's the first thing to be difficult to score against and then teams have to work double yard and then gaps appear okay Sunday we're not going to have a counter attack and people who we need like Ryan so we do have to come up with a different way of playing and it could be the three at the back could be pushing Deane and Coleman higher Alth Alan Delth and Tarngend in the middle of the three and then Rondon Alth Rondon and then Anthony Gordon playing off him Anthony Gordon being a little bit more centre running, driving at them or floating around in the 10 almost or do you go with Ellis Sims and go through I was going to say to you do you think there's been talk this week that don't forget Sims only play 45 yeah yeah well there's been talk this week that massive brands once or has asked with the 123s to play the same style as what the first team I mean why that's only happening now is beyond me but do you think if that is true that is a that is a clear sign that they are looking at more of those players now Sims Dobbin and Yango and then you've got the likes of Branthwaith at the back is the other kid in centre of my field as well isn't it Warrington Warrington who's getting talked about I'm not saying he's going to come in what I mean is that you have to start looking at that don't you're insane well if there isn't going to be money in January and the squad is getting more and more depleted and you can't rely on the players that we've already seen then we've got to know that a player like Dobbin can come in in a position he's playing in and go straight into the side because that when you go back to the city game they've got players that are playing in a system so that when they go into the first team there's nothing alien and actually it should be easier for them because they're playing with better players and I just wonder whether that's a clear sign now that those players will be be asked to do more because I just think that in the past we've got well the level of the 123s is not great but we're not making it any easier for them if players are playing in these weird positions that don't don't like you know go into the first team it makes sense doesn't it of course makes sense and if you're under 23s are playing 4-4-2 and you're one of the strikers in that 4-4-2 and you're first team playing 4-2-3-1 and then you get on the first team and say I'll go and play wide on the right forest you're not in that role you're not in that role or whatever if you're playing the same way and that's basically a reserve side isn't it for one to have a better word a reserve team so it should absolutely play even if you change your managers every year and they play a different style then the 23s doesn't matter results don't matter so just straight off the bat you should be saying to them we're playing 3-4-3 in the first team so that's what you need to play and you write it maybe there's a case of them looking and going we're not going to have tons of money so we are this season we're concentrating on loans we seem to be picking loads of injuries we're going to have we've had a look you said last week you felt as though Sunday when he says kind of looked at a couple and just thought yeah enough is enough maybe yes maybe he's looked and gone see all these here they were on a bent they're not good enough there's no one who can leapfrog where's Gabbamon he's on the bent he's the fittest he's been since he's been at the club cos he's been fit most of the season where at Man City 3-0 down nowhere to be seen I've got no issue with him bringing on Django on non whatsoever but what I mean is we've got a £25 million fella on the bench on God knows £650 grand a week I don't know what he's on who's not getting in our team when we're not we're doing anything when you would have thought he tried to pour them in I think Anciolotti would have played the band would have gone through it and played them like for a few weeks on the run to see if it worked where Benita has poured them in and went you know you're back out well for someone like him I don't understand why he's not playing in our 23s just to get gains under his belt to see whether he gets through I don't necessarily always think that like I wouldn't be playing Rondon in the 23s for five weeks at the expense of like Tom Cannon or something but someone like Gabbaman who's had a lot of injuries I think I would be playing him just to save after a couple of gains, get him back to the game thing because we need him but hopefully because they have gone to this now if this is all correct the brand stuff then hopefully they are looking at that because that's what you want anyway you want to mix it out to you want to bring people in but you're always going to have these plays and what it also helps is make decisions on these plays it's not enough at 18, 19 you're not going to get in at 13 how do we package you up and move you on rather than you getting to the end of your two year contract and walking up the door so maybe we are going to have to use a few of our employees we've got what we've now got nine games is it between now and the end of December and we know we're going to have players missing and we're going to have players coming back as well which are going to have to can't maybe play every three days so you're going to need because whatever it is see what you just said there the likes about Awobi and the likes of Gabamon personally I know Awobi comes off the bench because there's not much else there but he's clearly looked at them and just thought you'll not to either of you Gabamon doesn't seem physically up for it up to me he doesn't and you're right he probably should get some games in the under 23s just to start maybe elevating them and getting this confidence going so this too straight away that you're thinking a manager doesn't really fancy either of them so you're thinking so you're two down already and then you've got two on the bench two keepers on the bench so you're down four of your nine and then are the rest just people sitting on the bench making up the numbers exactly they're just making up the numbers in the short time so you've got to have genuine options to come on and also listen I'm not I'm not one of these people who thinks it's like well they're doing bringing the under 23s so let's give them a go but there are times if a kid's jumping at the bit Ella Sims is a really good example he's just signed a new contract he's 20 he should be well in that squad now and I know there's been he went alone and that really pushed him I think fair the forward and he's had a bad injury so fair dudes but surely now at 20 years of age when you've just signed a new contract the club should be well he's there he's got to be part of the fair team squad he's got to be a fair team player you know Dobbin maybe he's a little bit different because of the way he plays he plays he plays off the wing more but there's got to be opportunities now because we're running out of place I also think this week there's a they've got to go out and show why the footballers we watch everything too often these players come in they don't look like they can play football and yet you see other clubs do you I don't know whether they've got better players maybe they have but I don't think they always have but what you always get off other teams is those players that come in have that desire to prove people wrong or the brave way and whereas ours just you look at our team underneath the team and it's they just don't look like family footballers they're probably decent players do you know what I mean they come in and you're just all melting to the same thing no one's like you put it this way right we don't very rarely when you remove our first like 12 best players that you'd say after them no one really it's in and you're shocked by them going my god he's he might be an option here they all come in and just go back out very few get better by not playing in our squad there's very few where you go they do in your mind cos you think Sun Saddle give him a go you know what I mean there's very few where you go I know for some I know for some people that really do want to see the likes of in and around the side I get that I've got you know I want to see these kids being on the bench and get an opportunity come on the pitch can I for one of them to take the supply somewhere and score a Brent for the show come on for 15 minutes and everyone go why isn't this lad playing why isn't this lad coming off the bench and I think there are opportunities now and again I think where people will be at the 123 level and will come into the first team and will shock not only the fans but also the coaches where they'll go I didn't think he had that in him exactly or just season and opportunity and you also get the sometimes you also get that bump you get that bump where actually someone mightn't be as good but you get like the Danny Hadamati bump the enthusiasm the way they just like like you said before you've got someone like Rondon who will just who's thinking in his head I just want to get to this game I am just going to get to this game no oh for an hour I'm going to throw everything at it because he physically can't anymore where is someone like him someone like a dobbon or assumes my coming and go you know what I'm just going to have a real good go for the time I'm on the pitch and I'm going to try and I'm going to I'm going to press that centre back and I'm going to force them into a mistake because they don't know me they don't know out if I'm faster I'm slower I'm physical or or I'm good in the air or whatever but now and again you probably do need a little bit of that just to and that you know plays for us just seem to these kids just seem to sit come sit on the bench never get a chance then we move them on and maybe they don't do anywhere else but sometimes I think you've got to you've got to involve them you've got to give them that little bit of of the character say I want to be a Premier League footballer this is my dream I'm going to go out and I'm going to show you and even if it's just pure effort and pure enthusiasm and they're running on pure instinct it's that thing of like if you were to offer any 20 year old kid an opportunity to play in the Premier League they'd probably run round like a lunatic for 20 minutes and you know what Premier League footballers don't always like that they don't like people being in the faces that means that's really don't when amary kids have come on against us and scored their first goal and it might only be the only ever goal they score but it's because it's like ooh a fella from Southampton he's never seen him again he didn't have a clue he was he's got the winner he's never seen him again so we've tried everything else and it's not really working so I'll just add in this one and also though just on that we're going to need some of these kids over the next month it kind of gives boost to other people doesn't it if someone they can show up or the pros as well they're on run the round and you go and go I need to do it cos he's doing it or the crowd will let you know it's why some get clapped and others don't so we're going to Brentford tough game they play let's have a look at the day line so she said they very much do play the 3-5-2 Thomas Franks got them playing that way I haven't told him where I'm off front and obviously they're too dangerous man they'll all reach out and he scored and there's last two games there's many as he has in about two years they're a physical side aren't they they like putting the ball in the box they love the long throws the set pieces they're getting a lot of width and getting crosses in from one side to the other I think we've seen at the weekend one wing crossing and the full back coming around the back of the boat or the wing back coming in the back of the boat they are physical and they are they are the kind of team that don't know when they're beaten so they've got that thing they've come up, they play at home it's not a massive crowd but it's the kind of crowd because it's on top here they make a lot of noise they're not going to stop they're going to be all over it and it's that thing we've just been talking about then it's like what they lack in maybe talent they make up in enthusiasm and just being that thing that we always talk about where it's like they've got the right profile of players and I know they haven't been on a great run but I think but they're also the kind of team with their manager where they believe in what they're doing so they're only they're not winning games just some of the game they've got beat by Chelsea 1-0 at home and they've batted them for the last 20 minutes it's not for the one that's lying it's just that lack of quality they could have been teaming them against Leicester they could have been 4-0 up in the first 15 minutes you've got to see them and score the world even the way and you know they equalise and then Leicester breaking Madison scores and they open them 15 minutes okay Norwich went there and beat them last time which is a bit of a flat he's all bright and they've beaten this so they have lost a lot of home games you've got it but all of those teams they've lost too rough for the battle and they're ever going to have to be up for play set pieces are going to be really big in this because these are the real exponents of that of the set piece coach and working on it and they do set pieces where they come in from throws and we you know we've got to get I mean we've just come off the back of two games where luckily we didn't really concede from a set piece so that hopefully that builds a bit of confidence but we've got to be we've got to be right on it from the set pieces because if me and his back it makes a difference we can't give cheap goals away against these but we can because we haven't really got anyone in team so our goal if we do score it's going to be you know from shut hands off times in the show obviously a player who scored a lot of goals from last year was linked with us as well was Ivan Tony Danger man, definitely, yes, have a look at him you've got 12 appearances, three goals two assists he's the top Brentford player and Ultima fan he's got 70 points in the Ultima fan this season but yes last year he got 31 goals I think it was it was terrific this season in the Premier League but you know that it's a different league but he's still been training in full performances doesn't give you a minute can drop in the out play at West Ham it was when he beat West Ham away he just dropped into the number 10 and threaded a great little blow through for the first goal always on the move he's a player that we've looked at and I've looked at and a lot of fans have gone I've loved him here he's one up there making a nuisance of himself so he's someone who's going to have to keep an eye on without a shadow he's another handful as well so you've got to really have you've got your way cut out you've got to go out and not give anything away cheaply we've got to have the battle and scraff for everything and that's the way it is and listen if we were going there with our full strength team then I'd be thinking it'd be tricky game but we've got the quality of our full strength team so the only thing you can do is go and match them battle wise these are Premier League footballers allegedly in our squad against a team that have come up and haven't spent money they've done things brilliantly Brentford they've done the original money but Matthew Burnham's done an incredible job they've been taking over for years getting stronger and stronger and I hope they stay up after Sunday there I wish them the best of luck apart from Sunday and go and our players who are in Premier League wages and have been for a while I've got to stand up and be come to them and to game of football a game of football go out and prove your quality Woll up your sleeves and stop feeling sorry for yourselves and go out and prove it and stop you know wondering why things continue to go wrong because you're not Don't be positive when you get half a yard, half a shot follow Andrew Ostranz and get shot away if you're Anthony Gordon be a little bit sharper get the shot away if you're Salomon Rondon you get a chance if you move standing still you won't and really start winning your battles every one of them win their individual battle and if you do that that's what it comes down to and obviously it's a very it's a very tough week it's a pivotal week in the Premier League if Everton can pick up a few points in that week then suddenly things start looking a little bit more positive when you're closer to getting everyone back then you run a game you're out the way and then you're on the garage and there's more favourable games just what they'll look like but if we sat here a year ago and people were very down going to that December we had better players available but people were like getting nothing and we ended up having a great lunch show a little bit show a little bit of effort it's a tough game Let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one obviously there's a lot of negativity at the moment so a few little bit of positivity who would you like to see any of those youngsters coming that decide this team on Sunday could be a meme for the ages that could be remember the Stoke team which people always go back look at the state let's see what he does let's hope he puts in a couple of players where you go oh he is doing something a
