 Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the Match Preview. Everton vs Tottenham Hodge Bay Monday, they're the people to make the clock kick off at Gwldersham Park, Everton, hoping to extend their unbeaten rum to four games, and hoping to beat Tottenham for only the second time in 20, it'll be 21 games, I haven't won one of the last 20, so that's won in 10 years then. Dominic Calvert-Lewman's head at the last time Everton beat Spears at Gwldersham Park, it took goals from Stephen P and Nikita Jellavitch, both in injury time to beat Tottenham 2-1 off the Clint Densey deflected goal that gave Spears the lead. Those names eh? Yeah, David Moynes was Everton manager, Nikita Jellavitch. John obviously last time out Everton got it. Seven touch was a goal. That's such a celebration. First touch was a goal. Last time out Everton got a 2-2 with Chelsea, you had a good performance, second half especially, good resilience. Missed opportunity? Possibly. Possibly, but like I just said, we've had three games unbeaten now. We're playing against a team that has just shacked them or, sorry, parted ways with their manager Antonio Conte. Does that make it more difficult, less difficult or the shame? Same isn't it? Particularly as Conte had his medical problems, so he hadn't been there for a while anyway. I guess his assistant, who's now the manager, was the guy who was running the show while he was away. Yeah, well, I mean, his back wasn't for the couple of games, but I mean, he was in charge last time out when he was 3-1 up at Southampton, then he had obviously his outburst after that which kind of sealed his fate. But you're right, yeah, they have, still, he didn't write amazing a tough games while he was away having his goal bladder taken out and all that. I just think that particularly at home, some of the teams, like Arsenal for example, and the teams we've played, we just play our game don't we? I think a different Tottenham and or a different us and it would be a so-called expected loss wouldn't it at home? I think the difference is potentially particularly recently is it's hard to see them not scoring and we've still got to get over that hump, which we sort of did at Chelsea. Whereby, if we go behind, then that's it, type of thing. So, yeah, quite the optimistic. Gunnarsson, hopefully bouncing under the lights, all that sort of stuff. Yeah, let's see. Fair play. Hanno Ritchie, which is good. He can be in his box if he's still got it. Spears nine unbeat Nicolle, doesn't three wins, six draws. We did beat them five-four of course in the FA Cup, in the Covid season. Carlo with his coffee, as evidence to God. Crazy game that was. But it's at least, and Spears are a good side. It's always a tough game. Harry Kane, what a footballer. He's got off his son. Evertonians, not fans of, but he's a fantastic footballer as well. He was a great player. You know, they've got real good attack on talent on Lucas Mora as well. They've got players and a fan of Dan Dume. A couple of pantomime villains on Monday for Evertonians. But for us, you've just hit the nail on the head. It's about the goodness and especially what we do. And we've been very strong at home under Sean Dyche. They'll have beat us, but they should never have beat us that day. They should have been three and a half times. And obviously the game turned on a penalty. And they went on fair play, they went on on the game, but Everton's other three games. All-worthy winners. Brentford was a different type of win. We had to, first half again, should have put the game to bed. We should have been three and a lot with the break, and we weren't. Second half was a different type of battle and performance. Leeds was as comfortable as a home winners you'll get. And Arsenal was an excellent battle and performance, and even in that game Everton could have scored two or three. That's trumped, but deserved winners. So into general at home, we've done quite well. And we're going to have to play, probably put in almost like an Arsenal type of performance, I think, if we are to come out on top against Spares on Monday. No, I think you're right. And what the manager's been trying to do, isn't it? He's been trying to build their mental strength up. And he's talking today in his press conference about indicators, wasn't he? A good indicator was the Chelsea game. I think it was a missed opportunity simply because we gave a reasonably soft penalty away when we were in the ascendancy and feeling quite buoyant. And then of course we were getting equaliser anyway, which not that long ago, even probably underdeich, we might still have thought that we go behind particularly against the quality team. If we have to open up a little bit, they'll exploit that, and that's when we start getting battered like we did away at Arsenal, for example. So that's the little blip to say it's not in their DNA yet to be robust. But yeah, I think they all have to turn up. They all have to do their jobs. The manager, I'm not convinced he can keep getting away with running 11 players into the ground with 10 minutes to go. Because I think when they refresh off the bench, they won't have a particularly big drop-off in capability. And your Dan Jumers of this world, you may be one of those who comes off the bench if he doesn't start, would be with a point of proof and pace to burn against people like Michael Keane who can't turn on the best of days. But by then, if we have anything like some of the performances you've just outlined, it might not matter. Because I think they're not defensively great. I was just looking at it. They've conceded as many goals now as they did in the whole of last season. The most goals they've shipped in the opening 28 games of a league campaign since 2007 and 2008. So they are doing particularly well defensively. I think the goalkeepers are in issue for them, whether that's Fraser Forrester, Hugo Larisse. Well they had to take Larisse out, didn't they? He's on the way, he's on the decline anyway. They will be looking for a goalie in the summer. Job and Pickford obviously has been mentioned with Spades quite a few times. That might change again now, depending on who they bring in as manager. But that's an area that Evan can get at Spades, absolutely. I think so, yeah. The thing for them is we don't score a lot of goals. We have scored five in our last three, which is quite a lot for us. But Everton do have the, since you're on Dites coming, there's only four teams with a higher XG, expect the goals. Then Everton, so we're creating a lot more chances under Dites, a lot more better opportunities. And Spades do give you chances to score goals. South Antony don't really score goals for three past them last time also. Everton have got an opportunity. It's a big game. I do still think Spades, I know the fourth at the moment, will be fifth by the time this game kicks off because Newcastle play over the weekend. Regardless of this result on Monday, I do feel like Spades will be 100% in that fight for that top four as in. And I still do, I think they will finish in the top four. Monday might just represent a good opportunity for Everton just to catch them before. Because I think once they get back to playing week after week, I think they will get results that they need with the ability they've got. Monday might be the best opportunity for us to get that. A luce of win against them at Godderson Park, but it will be a very, very difficult game for Everton. It will, and let's put away that soft claim thing. It's not a claim because it's based on fact, but this one of the highest XGs is AGs that we want, actual goals. But people will say AGs will be assisted goals. Well, whatever. Real goals, goals. Oh, G. Just G. G goals, just goals will be the one. You know, you would say, wouldn't you? Eventually, we're going to have a high XG in a game and actually score more than that. And so, you know, let's get all very optimistic and say, do that on Monday like Sunday and we'll all be very, very happy. Yeah, let's just catch Spades. Yeah, but let's turn up the form to whatever plan the managers come up with. And I think we're getting into, one thing which is good is notwithstanding the outliers like Arsalan, from a result, I mean, in a way, the result against Ville wasn't good, but the performance was okay. And when we've talked on these previews all about the performance, you know, and if you keep getting the performances, eventually the results come. The results go, yeah. And we're getting a level of consistency now, I think. I don't think, gosh, I'm going to. I don't think anyone necessarily expects Spades to turn up and turn us over, yeah. But if we drop off and behave like we did against Arsenal, for example, at their place, then pretty much anyone in this goddamn league can turn us over. So it's on a tipping point all the time, isn't it? So that's where the fans have to turn up again and undoubtedly we will. And, you know, we'll march up Spellow Lane into the ground and give it our all. Hopefully the players do, and let's have a bit of luck every now and again, you know. No, I think, listen, we've, you know, we have been on the end of a couple of thumpings by Spades of Gooderson six-two a few years ago. We were all there, yeah. There's been a three-nil in that time. The next year was probably back two in that game, and they got six. It was the maddest game ever. But they did smell blood and then they took us to cleaners, didn't they? Harry Kane has scored 14 Premier League goals against Evan. He's only lester. He's netted more against in the Premier League. By my recollection, we often leave him alone 25 yards from goal. And he goes, thank you very much. The worst was that year we beat them five-four near fake-up. We drew two-two with them in the league, and he scored two. And for both goals, we just left them and we were winning twice. And for both goals, we left them on his own. We're like, there's one player in that team that you do not leave alone, it's Harry Kane. There you go. We know how good he is, of course. He became England's record goalscorer over the international break. Fantastic. Congratulations to him. Tremendous. He's just been superb every year. He's 20 league goals every year for Evan. Brilliant. Brilliant. All the other play that he brings. Fantastic footballer. Adelaide de Coray has been directly involved in each of Evan's last four Premier League goals. Two goals, two assists. Is there anyone playing for a contract? The four-goal involvements have come in his last three league games. The previous 38 games, we thought that he had no goals or no assists. So, Adelaide, keep going. The managers make a difference. Well, the managers do, you make a difference. Let's hope that Tottenham's managerial duo doesn't make any difference either on Monday. And we get along over G victory, over space. Always a tough game. Like you said, good side full of good players. The first time we've played against the manager has been done for matchfixing, hasn't it? I'm throwing things out there. I don't want matchfixing against the club. Against the club who's done, who was racing this year. There's lots of angles. It's a match preview thing. There's lots of angles. You know, we've just done a show, haven't we? And it will go out when it goes out about, which ultimately, if you're talking about business, we end up talking about quality of boards and things like that. But this Arsenal, you know, when the Levy was a well-run, sorry, Tottenham, a well-run football club, blah, blah, blah. They've just lost the direction of football for it. Angon, Angon, Angon. I feel like I have to defend space here. First and foremost, they are very well-run. A team that doesn't spend incredible amounts of money always in the Champions League, or being regularly, being to a Champions League final. They haven't won something, they haven't got over the line. I've got a little bit of kinship with that, but sometimes I feel like they're just not quite able to do it. But the stuff that is going on at Tottenham, in terms of the direction of football, was stuff that was done while he was in Italy, not at space, nothing to do. He is direct at football Tottenham, but it was stuff that... No, I know it was. At Juventus. No, it was. You know, I know it was. I just think that they've got off-field stuff that's a distraction as well. Nobody have yet, of course they have. People talk about, in fact, conference today, didn't they, about off-field stuff impacting the team and all that sort of stuff. So let's hopefully take a little bit of an edge off them as well then, because it is interesting. Let's be honest. In our predicaments, we need everything going in our way to get out of this mess. The way they are, they can afford to... They can afford to lose this game. And then they can go and win the next nine, and I'll wish them well. This isn't a swing for them, but between Champions League and not, is it? Which is what you're saying. It would make a massive difference to us to win, because it maintains that momentum. This is a difficult period for us, for the teams we're playing. And we end up thinking, Crikey, Chelsea, we've got to draw, we've already beaten Arsenal, we beat Tottenham, go off to United. You'd be confident. And you go, you know what? But also we do have to mention them before they could be fifth at the time of playing. Evan could be in the bottom three when he's getting kicked off, and that's how big a game this is. Absolutely. There you go. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. What are you feeling for this one? Always a tough game, Tottenham. Always a tough game. Let us know what you think. And fingers crossed, Evan, finally. It's been a long time since we beat Spades of Godderson in the Premier League. Let us have this one. Come on, we need it. See you later.
