 Welcome to Toffey TV, it is the instant match reaction, Fulham nil, Everton nil, a pretty dreadful, well dreadful second half, it was a dreadful second half, I thought Everton started the game okay, I thought we came out okay, had some chances, I think Dominic Carver-Lewin missed a really decent chance when Gray got the ball over to him from wide areas and I can get first half, it was a pretty even contest, they probably think they should have had the lead but I think we probably should have had it as well. Second half, very very poor, I don't really know what happened to a second half, I think we just sort of retreated, we couldn't string two passes together, we kept on losing it in the midfield, they had loads of energy, they had loads of the ball getting wide, I mean their tactical day was getting it wide and getting into the box and basically the overload of this on both sides. I thought Michalenko dealt with that really really well, I don't think Sheamus Coleman dealt with it as well and also the players in Fulton matter do their job and I don't think they did. Second half, I think we were very very lucky, they had 10 shots off target in the entire game, 6 shots on target, they had more at a possession, by the way I do not care if Liverpool are getting beaten so please just stop on in the comments, I couldn't care less. I think the game for me, I mean it didn't swing on it but a big massive moment in the game was the non red card for Mitrovich, I thought it was absolutely shocking, I thought it was an absolutely shocking stamp, I'm not a stamp because I don't think he intended to stamp, but a shockingly late tackle and I think that to me should be a red card. In the Premier League these days, if you're late and you stand on someone's ankle, it should be a red card and I think moments like that are so important in games like that because people can say well you know make sure they've had a penalty or whatever but they're 50-50 moments for me, that's not a 50-50 moment, that is a blatant red card as far as I'm concerned. I've seen them given in other games and if they've been given in other games then they should be given in every game. If you come in late and you stamp on someone's ankle effectively then it should be a red card, it really should. And 10 faces 11, we win that game of football, no issues and you know whether we deserve to win it is a different thing. For me it's a blatant red card, people might say well it's not a red but it is a red because whether you're late and you miss the ball by that much and you stamp on someone's ankle then it's a red card and it doesn't matter whether it looks worse, it doesn't matter in slow motion, it doesn't matter. The game nowadays is about protecting players and for me that is just a clear red card, an absolute clear red card and that you know Mitterwitch if you get sent off there that changes the game completely and I think we go on and win it but that's not the reason why we were poor in the second half. As I said first half was quite even, I think Cavaloon should score really from Grace Cross but second half we had absolutely nothing, we played on the counter attack and Gordon and Gray were really really poor, really poor. They're supposed to be at our ball and neither of them did anything, I'm amazed again like Newcastle that Andy Gordon managed to stay on the pitch, I'm absolutely amazed by that. Sorry, stayed on the pitch before Gray, I know he went off late on from Al Pai but I was absolutely amazed by that, that Gordon was taken off and he was kept on the pitch. We need more and Gordon and Gray were absolutely abysmal second half, that put more pressure on the midfield cos those three then had to start, two of them had to start coming wide. O'nana was on a booking as well, he obviously decided to take Garner off and brought James Garner on, I think it was right to take some more off in the subs, maybe I would have took O'nana off and I know he probably kept them on cos of his height but maybe if they were the same height I would have took O'nana off because I think again, I think he did what he did at Newcastle at times which was slowed the game down and allowed full on players to get on top of them. I think they had a lot of energy in the midfield, hell of a lot of energy in midfield, they were breaking down our play and whoa we were pretty much anonymous in the game as well. And it just goes to show two weeks the difference between the games last week loads of energy obviously playing on the front foot playing at home but it really shouldn't be a difference whether you're playing at home or playing away. If you've got a style of play you should be able to stick to it and this is often the downfall of Everton managers actually, is not being able to get the way they play at home away. I think what Frank's got going for him is the atmosphere is so good at home and it's not a guaranteed win by any means playing at Gooderson Park but the atmosphere is a hell of a lot better playing at Gooderson Park now than it was for Benita's. And funny enough this is what Marko Silver struggled with as well when he was at Everton is the fact that he couldn't balance those two things. The end of Marko Silver's first season he was absolutely fantastic at home, we beat the likes of Manchester United 4-0 but then we went to Fulham and we got B2-0 and we went to Crystal Palace and drew 0-0 late towards the end of the season which sort of meant there was not a chance we were going to get European football. When we had a little outside chance of it and this is what Frank is struggling with as well. The away form is very, very poor when you think about it. We had one win this season, Southampton I think he won one last season against Leicester so the away form really is the Achilles heel for a lot of Everton managers. You've got to find a way, if you have to change the way you play you've got to find a way to teach you and if that means not playing with two-and-out wingers then that means playing without two-and-out wingers maybe Dwight McNeill would be better for away games because the way he plays isn't based on pace it's based on and I know that's counterproductive because we're trying to counterattack but the two players are so poor at keeping hold of the ball that they don't give you an opportunity to counterattack. I mean at one point in the second half there we had a four-on-four I think and Gordon had the ball and he just gave it straight back to the opposition in the box. So maybe we have to come up with a different way when we play away to come up with the points. Don't get me wrong I am absolutely delighted we've got a point out of this game in the end of it. Absolutely delighted with it because we didn't really deserve a point. Fullham missed a hell of a lot of chances in the game and our defenders had to be on it. I thought once again Tarkowski played well. I think Michael Encoe was probably man of the match the amount of blocks he made for crosses because ultimately their threat was the crosses. It was getting the ball in the box for Mitterwit. You obviously love pulling on to the full back which we've seen that today pulled off Tarkowski and pulled on to the back of Conocoe in front of Seamus Coleman. That's what he loves doing so we have to stop the cross. I mean obviously Dominic Harvan-Lewin was again isolated again. Again it's only his second start. It's going to be difficult for him. I thought he looked on it early on. He had a great opportunity early on and pulled it back. It wasn't a brilliant pull back but he did okay. He tied second half I think. Again playing more as a lowman this week. Not having players up with them. It makes the job harder. So maybe this is something we have to look at. Maybe we have to change the way we play away from home. If we can't play 4-3-3 then maybe we have to look at something a little bit different. Maybe we play more of a diamond or maybe we play trying to get James Garnan into the team. What we missed today was actually just keeping hold of the ball. We just couldn't keep hold of the ball enough to work ourselves into the game. So that's something we really might have to look at for the away games. I certainly don't think it's working with Gray and Anthony Gordon who are very very poor in the second half. Because you just don't work hard enough. You don't get back enough. And obviously today with having the way they played the overload it just didn't work. So maybe that's something we have to look at going forward. Is that too much of a luxury? Having two players. Two wide players you don't offer you enough. Like last week for Palace they had three attacking players and two to me they had five. But they couldn't get the ball. So it's very easy in midfield with more ends in midfield. We outnumbered them. So just the same today in a different way is that if we can't get the ball to Gray and to Gordon or when they get the ball they just waste it. Then what are we doing? We're not creating opportunities. I mean we didn't create anything in that second half. Dominic Arvillian was offside but he was having to play on the shoulder. I mean I know he was offside a couple of times but he's waiting for the pass to come through. He has to do better today. Of course he has to do better in every opportunity but there's no support for him at all. There wasn't any support for him at all. And no one was breaking with the ball. Wobby just didn't pick the ball up and run with it or find the pass. So it was a really difficult second half. As I said first half I thought we were fine in the first half. I really did. I thought we had plenty of the ball. It was a game of two and a throw. The whole of that. The whole of the first half. Second half we didn't do a tap and obviously we had to rely massively and obviously then on the defenders and then it becomes about the subs then. And again we really didn't have the subs. Obviously Malpie came on for Gordon. That's not going to help you. You're not playing the same way then. I probably would have started Patterson as well but listen the manager knows the fitness of the fella. I thought when Patterson came on we dealt a little bit better with their wide men. Not completely better by the way. He did get Adolf a couple of times but again he's someone who's been out for a few weeks and has come back into the game. But I think maybe for the away games we do look at starting like Neil and maybe you've got then one wide man on the left hand side whose job it is to just get crosses in and on the other side you've got a bit more pace. I just don't think it works away from home with Gordon and Grey. I know we've had moments this season where we have played on the counter attack but I don't think consistently it works at all and as I said Gordon and Grey were really really poor second half. For me again it's not about keeping old of the ball. It's about taking it down the left hand side and maybe getting an end product. And today we just didn't have an end product. It wasn't the greatest performance at all. There you go. I'll take a point all day long. Whether we deserve the point is a different thing but you don't always deserve what you get. We've been on the other end haven't we? But again that's one of those games where you might look at it and go. Well today last season we probably would have got beat. This season we're taking a point and that shows the defence then doesn't it. That shows there's a lot more going for us at the back. There you go. Make sure I'm hoping to get some videos from Baz who was at the game. He sent me one at a time saying you should have been five in a love. So I'm hoping to get some videos from Baz that I can edit and put together. I'll be back to do my player ratings soon so make sure you check that out. There you go. Thanks for watching. I'll see you in a bit.
