 Welcom yn y troffi TV'r ysdyn nhw'n maes prefiw Manchester United. Be is efo'r nefe cup 3rd round tai 8 o'r clochic o ffordd old Trafford. Do you want to beth, do you want to beth? Up next, another tough game efo'n have just been thumped around by Brighton, and now we go to old Trafford. But in some respects it might be, I wouldn't say the ideal game because it's never ideal going to United. But again that refocuses the players because there's nowhere to hide there is then it's a one off FA cup 3rd show. It's on the manager's selection. It really is. I mean we could have sat here, I don't know whether we did or we didn't, but we could have sat here and everybody expected after the disappointing outcome against Wolves. We're going to City to get thrashed and we've had an even more disappointing time against Brighton and most people will expect us to go to United to get thrashed and I just think if they get the right strategy system, call it what you will. It's just fundamentally what we did at City. Frustrate them, we'll get a chance right and who knows what can happen and if you get to 90 minutes it's who's got the balls, save penalties. So let's see, I mean none of your view is that we've done by half time. I just think the way, if he plays five at the back then I think Evan will be more inclined to be able to cope with Manchester. Yeah, yeah, and narrow. It seems to keep it nice and compact. Compact's a better word than narrow. Well if we go and do what we did the other night, it will be done at Arsenal. That's what I mean, it's on the manager's selection. It's on the manager's selection. There's no doubt whatsoever, do you want McNeill, we will not start. You don't think you will? No. A bit like the other night, if I open my phone up and go, what? And that's the thing, there's 9,000 of us going to be there. And if it's all hands on deck, it's clearly five at the back, blah blah blah. The fans will sing their hearts out for 90 minutes. Of course they will. If he makes dumb smoke, let's go head to head, let's go 4-3-3 and all this. Gordon's not going to be playing, so then he could get a bit dirty in the away end. Because the focus might go elsewhere. Yeah, I mean on and on he'll be back one litre, he's back from off the suspension. So he'll be back into the midfield. But again he's going to be in the right role. But again, and that's where, if it was me I'd have played 3-5-2 or 5-3-2, it would have been a way from home. Obviously we've lost a nice amount of patterson, so shame is all coming. Shame is quickly, they can't run up and down all day long, but they'll try to get forward at times. I've done a re-greig off Dominic Calvert, I mean a greig on another goal, it'll be a penalty against Brighton, so you'll be feeling good about it. It's looking after his status isn't he? Listen, goals keep the confidence up. Cwrs did it, cwrs did it. It's your top score of 5 goals so. Yeah, yeah. And I've 3, I've geig with O'n Arnas sit them in front and I've a wobby running around in front of them. You know, we might be able to break at times, you know, Michael Enco's going to have to push a little bit higher. It's all going to have to be about discipline and focus. Discipline and focus, yeah. And the man that you did mention and his press conference you did kind of say, we'll have to, you know, have more of what we had at Manchester City and obviously quite clearly less of what we had against Brighton. Is this going out? When? Today? The day before? OK, so most people will have seen the managers press conference before they see this because, you know, some of his answers, they weren't prepped answers and that worries me because you've got a load of PR people or media, whatever the job titles are and it's what other questions we're going to ask. You know, you do your mingling, don't you? And you say to Alastair what you're going to ask when you get your turn, you know, and you tell the manager and he comes up with better stock responses but he's talking down our likely outcomes, you know. At least he said the right thing in response to is a free hit, you know, and maybe that has connotations, that phrase. But the follow-up question was trying to say what I really mean. It's not the league, it's, you know. But some of his answers weren't inspiring, were they? Well, he looked at, yeah, quite clearly he's feeling under pressure. He's freshened up a bit since he looked, you know, the post match. Yeah, of course, yeah. He'll be feeling under a bit of pressure, well aware of what's going on. And sometimes it's confidence in your squad, isn't it? You look at your squad and you think, what do we do? You know, he just needs to positively jump in. It'll be a difficult place to go and get one Manchester United to come into a bit of form. Ten Hag seems to have gotten across more of what he wants to do. He brushed off Bormas did me three and he'll comfortably do the night, you know. He went and won at Wolves, things like that. So they look like they're in the groove a little bit united right now. But like you just said, staying compact, staying again to cup tight. Anything can happen. They got beaten the third round of Rome last year. My city mates, you know, when you're doing a little pre-match because Pete Malk, the Man United guy, you know, he'll stay away from me today and tomorrow and the day after whatever happens either way because he doesn't want to compensate. I suppose he doesn't want friendships distorted by match reactions. But you know, my city pre-match, city mates were very much, you always turn up at our place. So we've lost 10 in a row, but you always turn up. And it has to be, we turn up. You know, they've got some professional pride, but that professional pride should be there as a matter of course, you know. But yeah, I can't believe an honour one man will make a big difference, but then the manager made it more than one man, didn't he, when he changed the system. So surely, you know, some of his press conference sounded like that. I'd have been watching toffee TV or listening to fans or a bit of both. And of course, I mean, you guys were talking about on the live show just then. The media are getting brave now, can't ban all of them. You know what I mean? This, this, you know, a bit like campaigners who say, oh, we want to keep our names secret because they'll ban us or something. Journalists have lived with that, particularly the local ones, you know. But now it's talk about a free hit. We've made ourselves a free hit, haven't we? I think the thing about this. I saw McNulty and King and Shearer and Wright, blah, blah, blah. They're all thinking, you know, I can actually tell the truth because it can't ban all of us, even if that was a thing. But that just means press conferences and pressure builds because the questions get more difficult. How are you, Frank? How are you, my old mate? You've got a nice new haircut. What do you think this weekend? Now it's, have you bought anyone yet? Well, that's natural, isn't it? They're beating the boom and they know people aren't happy with what's going on. People are right to not be happy, have they, Everton? Everton have gone backwards since he got taken over. Everton are in a worse position now, team-wise, since probably when he was taken over. In terms of quality of player, I mean, I don't think we had LeCarchu. I haven't got a striker, any of you glued all of them together. Who's had his level of worry was when he left Everton. Don't forget he was in fantastic form. We've done this before. We had really good players. The quality is at the way, despite having a huge amount of money to spend. That's shocking and for it to have no changes, higher up. Real change, I mean, I'm talking about people coming in externally, not promoting. We've talked about that many times on the biz stuff about making the board stronger, you know? And you talk about, you know, about Michael Ball a few minutes ago. Five days when we've got anyone yet. And we talk about it on the biz probably because it's not really a matter of preview. But it's not rocket science to follow best practice. And if they don't know what best practice is, then some of the things that go on are not a surprise. Because most fans, and if the same applies to playing side, we assume the worst. We assume they don't know what we're doing. We assume this, we assume that, we assume the other. When reality is, you know, maybe we could and should have players already. And maybe there's a really good reason why we haven't. And maybe they're not going to tell us what that really good reason is. But they need to be smarter at communicating with the fan base. You can say enough to make the fan base go, OK. Without this, they seem to have a buying review that you're asking us to tell you stuff we shouldn't tell you. Therefore, we'll tell you nothing. And the manager, I don't think, was adwitley prep for that press conference. So that's just my view. But back to this, it's all down to where his head is. Well, let's have a look. This is evidence lying up against Brighton, obviously, the 433. We know straight away there's no rate comparison. We know that he's not going to be in the voltage off for six weeks. Trond ei wysa i ymwneud yw'r drop-back out fo onane. A i ymwneud yw'r Dwight McNeill o drop-out fo Ben Goffrey. Angi siar i'n mysgol yn fwy cwm yn ffod patys mewn. I think that's probably how evidence is lying up. If we have a look at Manchester United, how they lined up in their last game, the 433, so obviously the hiring goal, Watan Bysrach, Harry Maguire, Linda Loff, and so Casamereau, Ericsson and Donnie Van Der Baepley. And then there's Bruno Fernandez, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial through the middle. They did make a couple of changes. I imagine they'll make a couple more changes back tomorrow. I've not been watching them, is that? The middle three, is that? Well, Fred's in there, isn't he? That's what I mean. As you can say, he's fit and they've got many likes of corruption. I think Van Der Beaker goes out with it. Van Der Beaker, I imagine, drop-back out. Let's have a look at the player we've identified as the danger man in this match. He's a triple at the moment, isn't he? He has 17 games, seven goals, three assists. Average is 2.4 shots per game. He's a great footballer, a great fella as well. And Evan will have to be on the guard with him because he's quick, he's bright. He's a threat from set plays as well. And they've got a threat, haven't they? They've got Christian Ericsson who normally has a good game against Evan. Bruno Fernandez, another one who's a real threat. He likes us. And he likes a goal against Evan. So we're going to have to be on our metal defensively. And when we do attack, we're going to have to take whatever opportunities come our way in. And hope that we produce another Manchester City player to perform. I don't know Ten Haag, particularly as a manager. I do wonder, particularly the noise that's going on in recent games, which makes City look the outlier. Whether he thinks I can rest some of these boys. Because top four is what he really wants, I would imagine. So there may be a little glint of an opportunity there. Maybe he doesn't bring Fred in. Maybe he leaves Vanderbilt in there. Rashford may be on the bench, bring him on when I need him. That sort of thing. But hey, we'll know it. You'll know it's seven o'clock. It will sound to be in the ground. And for them, it's momentum for United. They're on a good one now. They are on a good one. For evident, it's steak and packed. Take your opportunities when you get them. And who knows, you know, when United, like I said before, United, I think Middlesbrough beat them in the third arm last year, I think, at home. But they are generally a good cup side as well. If they've knocked us out, of course, in this competition before. So we'll have to wait. We'll have to push, listen. It's an FA Cup, it's a one-off. Let's have another 8-0 moment, eh? Well, it'd be lovely. There you go. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. It's a very tough FA Cup third round side for Everton. Against the good United side, they were getting better. So let's see what happens. Can Everton do it? Can Frank Lampard get a little bit of momentum going off the couple of really poor home defeats and start off our own little run? Let us know in the comments section. Give the video a thumbs up.
