 Welcome to Toffy TV, once again Everton with an action on Saturday in a behind closed doors game at USM Finch fan, they played Blackbeam Rovers, once again they kept it very quiet and didn't want to tell anybody which they caught. Did you know it just causes loads of hassle online, it's mad in it. You just want to know everything about everything. You just want to watch them play fully, that's the thing. The year we've had or the more than the year we've had, I'm still experiencing it. But for whatever reason the club have decided they're not going to put it out for their own purposes. I did watch the game though. I was out in Wales right. I watched the whole 90 minutes and it was a good run out. Obviously very very hot day, a Finch fan and wearing a black hat as well, which probably wouldn't have helped but it was a good run out against a very competitive Blackbeam side. First 20 minutes they were right on it. In fact they had a lad playing for them from Weston, used to be on Liverpool's books, who just wanted to have a fight with everyone. In fact and they nearly did have a fight with quite a few people. So they were well off for it early on but Everton controlled large parts of the game and it was a good run out. You could see people were at different stages of fitness when they'd come back to pre-season at slightly different times but it was a good run out. Obviously we had the afterings in Stanley game a week before, 80 minute games and we were at 3-0 and this was the 90 minutes show. You'd expect that as the building up after Florida this week. If everything is alright, it's on my lamp room to be pulling out but at this moment in time Everton is off to Florida this week to play in the Florida Cup so again you'd expect it to step up another level. I think one of the things they'd be happy with, they've had a little bit of a climatisation with this weather haven't they? It was good to see, it was good to see the fact that he won the game, it was good to see Gabbaman back in action. You went in last week because you were unwell but he's had two decent games now so to speak. It's a lot good to see him back and he's someone I think if he could stay fit, I think he could really help Everton. Now you say he's gingerly now because of what's gone on with him but he's looking sharp. Obviously it's his first pre-season with Everton and he's in his third year. So if you can keep him fit, he's someone you think would fit in what you saw over the weekend. What I saw at the weekend and again, he's playing games of football, he's obviously training, he looks strong, he looks big, he looks mobile, he looks like an athlete. The goal we scored perfectly encapsulated I think what he's about, what we need. He nicked the ball off one of their plays in the centre of the park, outstent them, breaks with the ball, lays it into Moise Keane. His shot is saved and he follows in with it straight into the back of the net and again it's just having, again people can poo poo it and say well waiting for him to get injured or never be the same player. But we don't have a bar for this player because he played like a game and a half for us and then obviously you played ten minutes at the back end of the season. We haven't got a bar for him so it's hard to know what he's going to be because we've never really seen him and that's all you can be happy with. He started a couple of pre-season games and now it'll be like you just said, they're going on and playing slightly more competitive games over in Orlando in a different kind of heat. But it's about getting fit, it's about him getting fit, it's about him looking and feeling in the right way and I think to me, I mean he is a new sign, he is literally a new sign and that's really, we're talking, we're seeing talks of players coming in and who we want and stuff. But he definitely is someone that you look at and I think he's something different. He was born to be someone who could pick the ball up and move it and I'm just happy to see him healthy. Nothing else matters, nothing else matters at this time but to see a player that we pay good money for, the replacement for Ghana look healthy and that's all we can hope now because there is so many question marks over them in terms of that fitness. Because of what we've gone through with them and I'm just happy for him. Yeah, I think the thing as well to remember with the injuries is it isn't one rare case of injury. It's thigh, the terrible injury on his thigh which they've repaired and it's been fine for way over a year now if you remember. Then it was a Achilles because as a result of the thigh because he wasn't doing the proper stretching and things can shorten and it's a common injury in athletes who've been out for a period of time. Obviously what we had at the end of the season was a contract injury and training. Look at the inland on his leg which could happen to any player at any time and you do go oh my god. But you've got to assume that things coming through and that is three and you've got to assume he's been working since that injury on building everything up and he's been training and he's back fit so you just hope now that he has a little bit of luck and stays fit and if he can stay healthy. He is the exact type of midfield player we need, he's big, he's mobile, he's strong, he can pass right and left foot, he proved that the weekend he can get in the box and hit the ball as he scored the goal. If you keep him fit then you're right, you're absolutely right, he's only played and was being on the pitch for less than two games for everything. So he is a new player. So if you can keep him fit then that would be brilliant. Obviously you just mentioned there Moise Keane started the game. He looked sulky as he always does but he did alright, he played the front form on his own and he held the ball quite well. Every two opportunities he got he was looking to get a shot off and in that first half we did have so many chances there, goalkeeper made some big saves. A lot of saves, they had a lot of blocks, Evan could have been easily four or five up at half time. There was loads of chances that they stopped and Moise Keane looked alright now obviously whether he stays at the club is a different matter. Obviously he was with Charleston being away, Dominic Havill living on holiday with his little bags. He is the club striker and obviously Evan will use him till Evan offer comes in for him because obviously he's our player. Whether he likes that or not or whoever, hashtag free Moise Keane and all this, until PSG come up with the money. Because we shouldn't be letting him go for free as an asset. Everton probably do need to sell him to free up money. But if you aren't going to pay for him then he's going to be our player and we're going to use him and I thought he looked, again he looked, for someone who's only just come back probably had a week playing the game I thought he looked alright. And I thought if he does stay with Everton this season after the last season at Paris I think there's definitely a player there to utilise. Again, the bits and pieces I saw, he did look lively. It was a lovely little move and I think what we put it across and he tried the training. Well he did training, got a shotter, he was back to go, which he got a bloch in off and obviously it was his shot that he'd keep a shave and go back on to score. So the season in Paris will have done him the well to good. 17 goals and 41 games there or competitions is decent to train. But I think obviously it's well documented Evan would allow him to return if they paid the money. He can have the hashtags all he wants. They don't really work, we had three zoomer and one of them we didn't get it so it didn't quite come off. But yeah, listen if he stays then why not use him and he will be used. Rafa Benitez might use him as a wide because I'd seen Paris using him in the right, the wide forward role a couple of times but we'll see and hopefully he can go to Florida and get sharper there. It's up to him isn't it? He'll want to get as sharp as he can anyway to add a convinced Paris to come back in for a more new vibe. He's a professional footballer. But he's contracted for another three seasons of Evan so you've got to do as much as you can to keep yourself taken over and looking sharp. Yeah and he did all right as the gun looked all right as well. He worked hard and he was coming off the wing. Hamasred Regas looked really sharp and up for it. You could see the class of him really. It's funny because you look at someone like him and you expect him to be like a game like this just to not be asked and just walk around and all the rest. But he didn't. Everything was perfect from him and he was trying to bend him in with his left foot. He had two shots in about 20 seconds. Had one with the keeper, made a good save. And again, working hard, obviously there's been a lot of rumours about him leaving the club and there's still plenty of the summer left. Evan I've got the small matter of going to the Florida Cup and playing at Columbia inside. But I would, for me, I'd be really disappointed if we lost Hamasred Regas. I know why it could be money coming in now so obviously with the kind of interlottie factor but I would be there. Because he just is that touch of class and I've seen that for everyone to see on. People try things and I used the way to strike. He does things because it's so effortless. He went past two players like they weren't there just by dropping his shoulder. Not outspitting, just sending them their own lines. He's got that unbelievable natural ability and he looked bossing the black hit. And then an hour later he was on the beach in front of me. And then the next day he was at the greatest grand play. Oh he's had a busy weekend. He's got glasses to sell. But I would, I want to keep him. I know some people want him to go out on all off of whatever reason. That's fine but I just think, I don't think we can lose that amount of goals without replacing it. And I just think Everton with him in and Everton's squad that contains him is a much better side. And if you had, I keep saying it, but even with the players you haven't the luck to bring in. You know Damari Gray, you're quick if Everton do get Leon Bailey who they're clearly after. And you had Hamas in the 10 and Bailey running. I mean his vision and every Denzel Dumfries which looks like he might be back on the table. It opens up the whole pitch so there's no place I want to go. And also he's having a pre-season. Didn't have a pre-season on his own, the political. So having a pre-season with a manager who will run them. Listen, whatever. Do you take anything out of the fact that Benitez sold like move them on from Madrid? Cos the way I said last week when people had asked me was he had loads of people at Madrid. He had loads and he had loads and he had loads. He probably worked hard, didn't he? Right? And that's what counts. But Benitez can't look at the situation the same with Everton. He's got to look at it and go I need to have plays you run. Workman like plays. We've been linked with loads of workmen like plays. But I've got to have that sprinkler. And I don't get this argument of like people going oh well. You know what I look at? You played 25. I look at the column of how many goals did he score and how many goals did he create. I'm not asked about how many goals he played. And how many goals he should have created. I'm looking at how many goals he did. And I'm looking at them and I'm going like subtract them from the Everton squad and see where we are. Because that to me is all that I care about now. I look at them and go he's the only world-class player Everton I've got. The only world. Why do we want to just give that up? You know why do we want to be linked with people like my man? He's not going to be in the Champions League. Now I understand from his point of view he might be like well my man are a big club in the Champions League. I want to be involved in that. But I'd be fighting to keep him. I wouldn't make it easy for him to leave at all. Now he might have an agreement like a gentleman's agreement where it's like well we won't stand in the way if they pay the money of course. But that to me is just I want to keep him. Because I just think he's a... To me he's like he's not... You know I'm seeing pictures of him yesterday at the Grand Prix. He's like you know when he's advertising a brand and it's like that's the difference. This fella is known all around the world. He's a world cup gold boot winner. We should not... For him he could do another year of Everton and then still be able to have picked some clubs. I think he could and still pick clubs because he's a fantastic footballer. Just seems that he would go to... Exactly 34. He can do whatever he wants. He can hang on a year in Everton. We'll let him go off the door for nothing. For me Beach. It's not everywhere. Crossbee was loaded. That was swapped. I just I love the fella. When Carlo entered he left. I was like oh he's leaving. And I was like whatever. Now I'm like no please don't. I don't want to lose him. I just don't because I just think he's such a good player and he represents everything in a certain way. That other players can't. I think if he goes to the Florida... If he does all right in the Florida Cup as well. I think what we need him to do is keep getting better. But he says no exactly. But I'm also old enough and wise to know that the main of that playing lands on the way home. He could just be out the door because that's what football is now. But I hope not. All the subs at half time it really this unsettled everyone. I mean put it this way. The second half the left hand side was Seamus Coleman and Benny Benninghammy. And the right hand side was John Joe Kenny and Tom Davis. And the midfield was Decore, Allen, Delph. You know what I mean? It's just run now. No I know what I'm saying. So the game was any kind of spectacle that went second half. But what I would say is. Allen looked offy. Because obviously he didn't come back to the scene. And also Decore looked offy. Because it was great to see them back. But they did look a little bit behind. Which is fine. It's fine because it's only the second game. I think they only had two days training. And it all stepped up. And also they didn't make... I think they made a couple of changes at that time. But then made mass change on the 60th minute. So they were getting completely bombed. So they were still pushing. And they looked a little bit off. But Delph actually, funny enough. And I did treat this and I got a little bit of a stick. Delph looked not only sharp but mobile. I don't know how long that will last. He did get kicked. And stayed on the pitch. Which was incredible. And she and him do were like a little back heel flicker. It was so modern. Well he was playing the number 10. No it was amazing. Up front. He looked a little bit offy. Just physically. And then we brought on Nathan Broderd. Which was odd that we didn't bring Nathan Broderd on face. But I don't know. But the second half it was just a run out. For the rest of the squad. Gibson came on. Funny rail, funny moment. Alien second half. The Blackburn striker thought he was going to run. Ben Godfrey. Ben Godfrey was just like... Yeah lad on. You haven't got any more gears. I've got about eight. It was amazing. And we brought Tyder on in goal as well. And that was it really. All I had was they had a free kick. Very, very early on. It was like the first minute. Just went wide of Javilleginia's goal. And apart from that. But he was offside already. They had another chance the second half as well. But we got loads of chances. Really good run out. In a none. You know you go to this and we've been to these friendlies. We know what they're like. We know what it can be like with the crowd. So I understand why it's interesting actually. Because I've seen other teams playing games. I've seen front of crowds and stuff. With Daven crowds back. And actually Everton the 23s were playing. Easley. They won four one I think. And there was loads of blues there. And it does add that little bit of pressure of like. Got to do all I see. Got to do all. Can't do this, can't do that. Where it's behind closed doors. There's no expectation. No expectation. Manager can do what he wants. You know and whatever. Well stepping it up now. The next two will be live. We know that. So we'll get a chance to watch them. Everyone will have a chance to watch them. And then so far as Manchester United. And isn't it on the 7th? Because the problem ever. And of course the week of the Manchester United game was Saturday. The EFL starts that Saturday. So they'd have to try to find. I don't know. As an opponent on like the Monday or the Tuesday when they get back in Florida. They might still be able to do it. Even if they just have someone who turns up for a. Almost like a bounce game or whatever. They might do something like that. But yeah it's about stepping it up now. And getting keep that fitness going. One thing I did. It just basically comes with me. And then it was interesting. We were still playing off the right. He played the 10 at me against Lachlington. So he was off the right. He was still playing off the right in the first half. With John Joe behind him. Because John Joe on the right. Kyle John on the left. And then James came on the left. And John Joe went off. And then James went on the right. And then Joe Anderson came on. I was like. That kid's name was Joe Anderson. Because there's just Joe Anderson's everywhere. Joe Anderson came on. He actually looked all right Joe Anderson. He's a centre back. But he came on a left back. A couple of times he got a couple of hospitals giving something. But he was quick. But yeah he looked all right. That's good. Yeah it will be started on the right. So yeah it's fine. Everton play now Sunday. Sunday going into Monday in the UK. I think 1.30 in the morning. 1.30 in the morning of CVU in America. And then the next one is scheduled for. I think it's 11 o'clock at night. Wednesday. Wednesday at 11. Which will be the winner of Arsenal vs Arsenal. If instead of pulled out. There's room as they pull on out. But whether they do. I mean it depends contractually if they can. Doesn't it? Well they can. They pay for you. Yeah it was a good run out. Good run out. And as you said yeah. They'll head to America now. Get some solid different kind of heat. Different kind of heat. They'll get in the... And listen I was saying this the other day. Amazing facilities in America. Absolutely amazing. And we know that last year MLS spent the whole first part of the season in the Disney facilities. Because the facilities are amazing over there. It's complex. Everton will get there. And then they'll play the first competitive game on Sunday. Whether there'll be new players playing. We'll have to wait and see. I mean the plan will be to take a couple of the new lads there. So I'm sure you'll get a look up big a bit. Whoever else? Good old Andrews. So yeah be interesting. So on we go. Play two, one two. Not officially we haven't. It's not an official. It's official to me. Now good to see Gabbaman. Wakin hard. And you know. Graffa Bunnings is putting them through the pages. It's good. Whether you like that or not. It's actually happening.
