 Welcome to Toffy TV's, the match preview, FA Cup third round Liverpool versus Everton, woohoo, what a game. I mean, as if the season didn't have a 2017 feel to it, we didn't need this draw did we? But it's here and we're going into this derby match in slightly better form than we went into the last derby which was almost a month ago now and a lot's changed. In that month, it proved to be Marco Silva's last game in charge of Everton. I'm just hoping we were not as naive defensively as we were that night. No, listen, that was what four weeks ago now, a real month since. And a lot has changed and we obviously seen the four pick up. We've only lost one since then, that was in Wait Manchester City. Liverpool have continued being one every game of the year or something. They've continued being, yeah, and they're at, you know, world champions, apparently show, apparently show, which makes Monterey the third best team in the world. As everyone knows, up the Montereys. And yeah, it's easy though. It's a difficult game, it's a very, very difficult game, Liverpool obviously relying hugely on their Jesus juice. Yeah, we don't know what's in it. We just know a German scientist. He's not going to be a scientist. He's a cyclist. He's come up with the magic tonic, apparently. I do, I do. Can we take some when we leave Amfield? We're just taking lucasade. Oh no, we've got that weird Dutch one. It's good, it's really good. I don't know, I've never taken it. I asked him for some and he said he was sending me some, but it so far hasn't materialised. Maybe the red's got all of it. So it'll be a really difficult game trying to beat Lance, FC. But I don't know. I don't know. It might be one of those games where they rest a few, they obviously rested a few last time. Carlo Ancelotti. That worked well. No, no, but Carlo Ancelotti's already played him twice this season for Napoli. Got to beat them at home and got to draw at Amfield. And he might just have, he might know the game plan. It's whether the players can execute the game plan. That's the problem. And that's the problem he'll face all season till he gets in some players that he wants. Do you think Liverpool will go full strength or that obviously they've had a game in midweek as well or do you think, and a day later them are haven't played. And obviously the league and the champions league are their priorities, aren't they? The thing will be is, does Jürgen Klopp feel like he has to go full strength? The last time he played him he didn't. Didn't feel like he had to. And he seems like, you know what, he gets caught up in the emotion of it all. But I think he's starting to learn that, or he has already learned, that he's got a very good set of players and when he mixes and matches them, they still body that. He's got a set of players that when you bring squad players in, the squad players, all they want to do is impress. And we've seen that obviously with the Rigi, every time he plays against them. And he'll probably think, I'll start a Rigi, he's got the Indian sign over them. And it's those little things. So I don't think he'll go fully. He'll probably think, well have I leave a Firmino in or have I leave one of those front-trees? It was Marnay last time, wasn't it? And they're so good at what they do. They've got so much confidence. And he can mix and match. He'll probably leave the full backs in. The goalkeeper will probably stay in. Do you think I think he'll play, Adrian? I don't know. I think for him, it'll be an opportunity to get some people games as well to keep everyone happy. He's still got Gomez to play. I wouldn't surprise me if Van Dijk didn't play because he's had a few issues with his knee. Whether he played like, I don't know, Lovren and Gomez or something. But they're still strong, they've still got strong players so it's going to be a very difficult game. If you start with a strong spine and have players off that, listen they're a good side. They're going to win the league. They might win the Champions League as well. You wouldn't bet against them. So this might be where they take the right off the ball and all you can hope is that they're there and they haven't been there in the past when they've took the right off the ball. You haven't been good enough to do that. We haven't been good enough and that's what it comes down to isn't it? It comes down to it. We can, Carlo Ancelotti can send the players out there with all the best intentions but if those players don't turn up and don't have a go it's a one off. There ain't no replays. It's a one off. The players have to go out there and listen, we've already had a bit of a hard near this this year. What is there to fear? In that case it's the cup. It's do or die and it's where the players have enough belief in what they can do to go out there and execute what the manager wants and we've seen that at City. They went out and someone done bottled it and the manager's telling them to get forward and they played safe and you get beat when you play safe. Especially against good sides because they'll always find a way. Can't be lucky for an entire game. Very rarely can you be lucky for an entire game. We've got to be brave, we've got to execute a game plan and we've got to have a little bit of luck and if we do who knows we might have 8000 plus Evertonians in there having the time of our life. It's got to turn sometimes. We're going to win at Amfield. It's got to happen. The law of average is setting up. Even if it's once and then it's another 20 years the law of average is setting up and Sunday may be that day. Just never ever nothing. If I cup game you don't know that taking your emotional hat off it and all that you would live up to your favourite quite clearly. The walk in the league, the Champions League second phase of it off the Christmas and the brilliance at home and wearing off very good this so you'd expect that. But like you said it might make 3, 4, 5 changes. It might just disrupt the way they play a little bit. I think the difficult part though is you just said they might make 3, 4, 5 changes. We might need to make 3, 4, 5 changes because of who our players are and unfortunately if we have to make changes we ain't going to win the game. It's as simple as that. I think you know the likes of a charlison by my car valoon. We've seen in the city game they look leggy now and they're the players we need to be fit. Sentiment field is going to be a massive problem as well. Massive problem because we've got no one in there and that's where they win a lot of the ball, high up the pitch and then recycle it, give it to the forwards. Last time they did not do enough. They just kept on going long and finding gaps. But we've done things slightly different. We've gone with Seamus Coleman playing as a right side at centre back. Anything not to have Michael Keenan on the pitch I think is a bonus. I genuinely think he'll play something. Well if he does then don't bother. I think whatever you can look at if you're looking at it from a positive aspect is we went there a month ago and we weren't playing well but we could have scored 4 or 5 goals that night. We missed a couple of sitters, Moise Keen nearly got one late on and all of that. As bad as we were defensively we were alright offensively. Other people were a little bit all over the place and we should have scored a lot more goals than we did that night. What's saying to me? We missed 3 good chances in the first half and we scored 2 so it proved it and Liverpool could have had more as well. You can't let them settle down can you? You can't let them get into any kind of rhythm and obviously they scored in the first 5 minutes. You give as good as we get and get beat by a stupid goal in the last minute or 97th minute or whatever. We can't let them settle down and start taking the game. We have to take the game to them. Atmosphere is going to be a really interesting thing with so many avatolians in the ground. It was like that last time, wasn't it? We ended up losing on it in the 70s. And again though, that was nares on the night. Stupid things like Jack Gilch are playing now. The ball back for the corner and things like that and Pickford doing this. Pickford flapping and things like that. Well he's got to have a good game hasn't he? The FA Cup saw he flapped at it. He lost us the game. Last year in the league he lost us the game. He didn't play very well the other week. He played well at Goulderson now. Oh he's super at Goulderson now in the Ramfield. It wasn't great. He's had a couple of very good games at Goulderson. It's at Ramfield he hasn't done very well. He's got to get that mental thing out of his head. I'm sure Liverpool fans will be savouring the idea of him playing again. Liverpool fans just don't rate him. They think he's terrible. In fact I've just been upstairs in here. I was talking to a couple of decent reds and they were just like both of those goals against Man City with his fault. And their things are like they'll go, there is fault where as our fans will go. But where they really? I mean we will because we both thought it was both of his fault. But our fans are a little bit more like no we didn't have that much chance. Where they're watching a top class goalkeeper and going yeah he should have saved them. Because that's the difference. Is that when you set your standard so high you gradually get to that point where you set it because you're watching it week in and week out. You look at them go. But for us when you're watching for a while and you see players you get into the habit of thinking oh that's what a certain standard of players should do or shouldn't do. When you watch top class players you go actually they should have done better or you should have done better or this or that. So Pickford for me this is like a this would be for me on one of those games where mentally if he could have a strong game that could kickstart his event career again or his form over there. And I know people go he's not in bad form. But you know what he ain't the goalkeeper he was in the first year. He doesn't have that upwards trajectory seems to have just leveled out on it and I don't think he could be the dimension for him. He could go there have a good game and he needs to have a good game. Let's be honest Liverpool are going to have chances because they have chances against everybody. So he's going to need to have a good game and if he has a good game then we could take advantage you know and we've got goals in us. The players in our team isn't score a goal. What I'd be tempted to do is try and sit deep and I think I'd play 4-2-4 against them. I'd be attacked because what it's a couple you just said before. Do you know what I mean? If we sit back mate if we sit back they will destroy us. The only thing I would love to have is another centre back and I'd love to play Mason Hulgate and centre midfield. Honestly I would. I honestly believe we've got Michael King. If we had another centre back in the squad I would love to play Mason Hulgate and centre midfield. I honestly think that kid has got such a good big career if he plays in that position. I mean I think he's a good centre back. Do you think he could play King? And mean it if they were to listen to him and sit on the edge of the box. Michael King is a bag of nerves. He really is. I don't think Michael King is a bad player. I just think he's the worst comfort he's played at. I honestly think if you snuck up behind him and based a balloon he'd run away crying or something. I think it was like it or something. I don't think he's a terrible footballer because he's not. I just think his confidence is just up. And I think like going somewhere like Hanfield you can't have that. No everyone needs to be on the game don't they? If everyone needs to have any chance we've got to play to a good standard. We've got to play to a good level similar to how we played at home against Chelsea. I imagine that kind of way great and being clever. And that's what anti-lots you'll do. The game plan will be there. You've just said it before. Can we execute what he wants us to do? And we're going to need to pick for the player. The part of it though isn't it? Is this the most annoying part? Just come off a really tough spell. We've had enough to say. All you want this weekend is bleeding filed at home. Carl Ayer at home or something where you can rotate a few players, get through the game and you're looking forward to the next round of the game. And we get bleeding Liverpool. A man's city away Liverpool. At the end of a really tough month where you've played all the top teams and you've had a decent month in terms of that. And at the end of it, I know we're going in January now, but if actually this week feels like the end of the month, the end of the Christmas period and you get to the end of it and you're like, we've played Liverpool twice, we'll have played Leicester twice, we'll have played Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United away, Arsenal. Do you know what I mean? Give us a break. Give us a break. That's football, isn't it? Winter Welsh coming. Winter Welsh coming? Winter Welsh. So, we'll have to see. Like I said, the positive thing is that we caused them issues last time around the field and we'll have to do it again. It's a one-off on the day. But what I would say is to any of our players, if you get a chance to swig out of any of the Luchasig bottles, do it because the magic of Leicester. Honestly, God, Don Quixote was trying to find this stuff, I believe. This is, honestly, going to make a National Treasure film, National Treasure 3, The Search for Yeaghan's Bottles. It's called, right, because it obviously has the secret sauce in it. Indiana Jones was looking for it. He was, he was looking for it. The secret juice that keeps players fit and healthy. Honestly, if you see a wooden cup, right, a wooden cup, putting it in the water and drinking it, stay away from the gold ones. It's the carpenter's cup that you want. Don't cross the seal either. Don't take it out of anfield. You take it out and it'll just force the bits, right? Take the magic cup and have a drink, and, honestly, we'll be safe there. Will it be like, have you got to have something that's a similar weight to, like, the place, you're like Indiana Jones and you move it off it? No, no. You've got, like, in the last Crusade, all the different clubs. You'll have all these different ones. You've got to take, you've got to go, what would the German take? What would the German have? Right? What would the German have? And it'd be a big stained glass, actually. Big stained glass. But that might just be the one to trick you, right? And you get a good gulp of it. Does he drink it or does he just have it for his players? He doesn't really need it. I'll always see that looking different than when he came. I don't know. Maybe it's been left behind since the Rogers era. I don't know. But just get yourself a good, hearty glass of it and drink it on down and honestly, we'll be fine for the rest of this. Oh, we'll be fine for the rest of this. Telling your man like that, the guns. So, like, that's the only advice. That's the only advice you can give to Tala. Fair play. It brought Bob Paisley back. You know what I mean? He came back and he gave him a shit. I reckon Pickford has the, like, Pickford's had, like, the, you know, the sex one when he went there. Someone gave him a drink and it's like Kryptonite for him. It's gone there and gone. What's there? Yeah, that's your advice. He's young from the gold gobbler with all the jewels on because he was like, that's what the king of kings would drink. But it wasn't anyway. It was just a double negative. It was a stay away from that. There you go. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. Can evidence break the amp-field who do? It's, we're overdue a victory there. There's no better time to start than, you know, early on in the next decade. We went through the last decade and the one before without winning there, so this one would be nice to actually get a win, wouldn't it? Who knows what it could do for our season.
