 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the player ratings Everton 1, Fallon 3. A thoroughly awful, awful game at Gullison Park. There was about 10 good minutes in it, where to be honest, Everton should have probably gone 2-1 or 3-1 up in those 10 minutes. But Fallon never really got out of second gear to be fair. They were wearing very much wear in their flip flops. Probably won't have an easier day of it whilst wearing those flip flops. It genuinely was just an awful game of football. The manager got the team wrong from the start playing 4-4-2. No idea why he played that. No idea why he started with Malpie. Why start Ellis Sims at Old Trafford if you're going to bench him? A week later at Gullison Park, where the kid is it yet to start playing football. Genuinely don't get that at all. The manager's really struggled with having no decori. He's really struggled to understand what to do with it. That sending off is really cost us. For that situation we should be putting fingers squarely. It's really cost us that sending off. But the manager hasn't reacted well at all. Last week it was rubbish and this week it was even worse because of the opposition. We were playing at home. I really don't get it. You've got players that could make a difference. Whether it's putting them all be central and putting them all grey wide. But starting nail Malpie I just don't understand it whatsoever. I just don't understand that logic because all we were doing was going long ball to him. And he was never going to win any of them. I just couldn't understand it at all. It took a going behind to change it. And then in the second half I couldn't understand the subs. The minute they went 2-1 up Ellasim should have been on the pitch. Before answering even at 1-1 he should have been. But I just don't get it. I understand putting your faith in. Fully putting your faith in your system. But sometimes if your system's not working you've got to change it. And you've got to change it quickly. To bring Ellasim on for the last 15 minutes. That's pathetic that. That's pathetic management. And I know that the manager's got horrendous issues with the plays he's got. But if you're not even using the plays you've got correctly. I don't understand that. Blaming the manager for the whole situation would be... I don't really put anything down to the manager. The simple fact is that that team today is a championship team. You only have to look at the plays on the pitch. It's a championship team. Once you pull out a couple of players, the likes of Onara and the Coray. Not having a striker. The simple fact is that the blame has to be put where the blame deserves to be. Which is on the people who put this team together as a whole. The people who robbed us of our better plays. Through financial mishandlings of the football club. That's really why I go and march before every home game. For those reasons I'm not letting up on those people. Because those people have destroyed this football club. I don't know how many times I need to say it. I don't know what it will take for more people to come and march. I really don't. That's everyone's prerogative. But we're seeing now the result of it. We're seeing what comes of it. This is what comes of it. Having really bad players and not even being able to compete with their second... Sorry, full of them in second gear. I think what was really sad today was there was a real... You can feel it round the ground. I think a lot of people have built this game up. And when Dominic Arvaluin wasn't involved. And when Oana wasn't involved it really took the... I think it really took the wind out of a lot of people's sails just going into the ground. It's incredible. I've said this so many times. It's incredible how the football club have completely mismanaged the situation over Dominic Arvaluin. I believe for the first time Dacia said today he should be available for next week. I mean, if he's fit or he's nearly fit, put him on the bench. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for him to be 100% perfect? He's never going to be 100% perfect. But the club have completely mismanaged this last Friday. Last Friday, not yesterday, last Friday. Putting videos out of the training. You're telling your fan base all the wrong things. You're telling your fan base that it's ready to go. You're giving them optimism when it's not there. It's ridiculous. And I think that took a lot of the enthusiasm out of people going into the game. And then certainly second half, certainly the place was just flat. Loads of people got off early. And I mean loads got off early. The parking was basically completely empty by the time the game was finishing. And I think a lot of people say... I mean we've won one in eight games by the way. Those draws or going around unbeat them runs. It hides the fact that we haven't been winning games. You know, we haven't been winning games. We only won three on the show on the bench. And all these teams have pulled away by winning games. They've been losing games, but they've been winning games. We haven't been winning games. And it all plays a part in the end, doesn't it? It really does. It all plays its part. And where, you know, as we record, you know, less that are getting beat by Manchester City. But they're not going to play Manchester City every week hardy. So for us play Manchester United tomorrow and Manchester United have got a lot of players injured and I've got that European game coming up as well. That's not going to be easy for Manchester United. For us they're going to send an opportunity to get out the bottom three if they give it everything. And there was a real lack of fight today. That's what's really worrying. There was a real lack of fight amongst the team. Everyone in the team. The heads went down and stayed down. When we went two-one behind it, it was like, oh God, we've got to try and score a goal again. And as I said, we had that ten minute period before the half where obviously we scored and Mopai misses an absolute sit-in and Gray has a really good chance as well. It's the Mopai miss. I don't even know why you need to take a touch. He's the centre forward, he's in the box. I don't know why you need to take a touch. But yeah, it was a really, real low one today. A real low one for us. And we don't score goals and that's the only commodity that matters in football is scoring goals. We create chances, we've created more chances on the dice, we just can't score goals. We don't have goalscorer, we don't have any goalscorer. It's a good goal from Dwight McNeill today but we just don't have goalscorer. People just don't come alive in the box. It is worrying to say the least. Let's get into the actual player ratings. Jordan Pickford, I've given him a seven. I had to make four saves. I had to make one big one in the second half, I think. I mean, it wasn't his busiest day but he still conceded three, which is worrying. But I'll give him a seven. Ben Goff, he switched the right back. Last of 58 minutes went off with concussion. I thought he was poor today. I thought he was very poor actually. When he plays at left back, he's there to defend. But playing at right back, you need someone who's going to get up and down the pitch. You can't excuse the issues and the manager's made the decision putting them in because he probably thinks he's more game ready than Paterson is and Paterson did look a little bit ropey when he came on or maybe more than a little bit ropey but I thought Ben Goffy was dead full today. He just didn't really do anything. He didn't offer anything to us. I've given him a three. Honestly, I just thought he was really poor. He did all right in little jewels but I just thought he was really poor. On the other side, Michalenko gets better when he doesn't play. That's all I can say. He looks better when he becomes better when he doesn't play. He doesn't offer loads. Numbers are all right today. Three out of five ground jewels won. Two out of four aerial jewels won. But he just doesn't add anything. He doesn't offer anything in the final third. People go past them far too easy. Again, he looks like someone who would be all right in the championship. Quite comfortable in the championship. But he just doesn't offer us anything. Ultimately, it was just a really bad buy. Really bad buy. In terms of replacement, Luca Dean. Simply not good enough. I just thought he was... They got round them too easy today. Far too easy. Just not a good enough player. There's not much I can say about him. I'm not going to strip bits off him. He's just not a good enough player. He's as honest as the day he's long. But he's just not a very good footballer. Yeah. He's just not very... And the money we paid for him. He's just not a very good footballer. Simple as that. Michael Keane. Yeah, didn't... Again in the eighth and all, right nine out of 12. Two ground jewels out of two won. I've given him a 5.5. I think he just... I mean he's shot on target. Why hasn't he scored any? Why hasn't he scored any? There, Michael Keane was just... I think Michael Keane was just like... Back to normal today. Very much in terms of... As I said, little jewels he's done really well. I mean he wasn't really up against anything. But... No way any good enough. James Tarkowski. Again... He was alright but... They've scored three goals against us. You know. All the defence have to be looking at themselves. They're just not good enough. None of these players are good enough. I've given James Tarkowski a 6. He was me, wasn't he? It's... They're not... They don't make sort of like glaring obvious mistakes. They just... I don't know. They just don't... They just... They just don't do anything dearly. They don't... The ball gets moved on far too fast. There's no real creativity out of even the defenders. You know the wide, the full backs. They offer nothing going forward. The centre backs to be fair. Do try and start a lot of our attacks by the crossfield passes. But... They're too easy to play round at times. So I've given James Tarkowski a 6. Garnit! Again, I thought he was... He did okay today. Ground jails one, two, out of three. Tackles two. He did alright. But again, in a two man midfield. In a two man midfield. I think you lose a lot of that impact of what he does well. Which is going to say it's round for the ball. Interceptions. Tackles. So... I gave him up to the last of the day. 69 minutes and he took them off. I've given him a 6. He was... He was okay again. He was alright. But... I think we really struggle when we have... When we have... When we have two midfield. James Garnit. He was alright actually James Garnit. I thought... I thought... When we were in good spells. When we had the good spell before half time. I thought he did alright on the ball. I thought he was just getting out his feet and finding passes. Nothing radical. Nothing... No amazing like cutting balls. No getting the ball through the eye of the needle. But just keeping it. Just keeping it well and then trying to get the ball in the box. And I thought he played some decent balls into the box. I think the game got the better of him towards the end. He looked quite jaded. Towards the end. He hasn't played 90 minutes in the Premier League. Well probably forever. So he looked a little bit tired towards the end. But I thought he did okay. I'm not going to slag him off. I thought he did okay. I've given him six and a half. Alex O'Wobee. Three successful dribbles. Three out of three dribbles. Again. You can't really... You can't fault him for what he did. But he's like so many players. You look at what they're not doing. You look at what they're not doing. And I think at times that's what annoys me about some of our players is what they're not doing. Are they creating loads of chances? There's been a couple of key passes. But he's had one shot on target. But him... It's a major bug bear on mine. Him and Gray and Dwight McNeill to a point. How much of the effect in the game? Well Dwight McNeill got a goal so fair enough. But how much of the effect in the game? How much of the making the opposition think? And I just don't think Alex O'Wobee does it enough. I really don't. I think his numbers always look really good. But I just... I always think how much are you affecting the game? How much are you really... How much are you really changing the game? How much are you really grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck? I don't think Alex O'Wobee ever does that. I thought he did alright when he came a bit more centre. And maybe the manager needs to look at that for next week. But... He's a very... I don't know. He's quite a safe player. Yeah, I've given him a six. I've given him a six. The Dwight McNeill, obviously took his goal really well. Really good finish. Really nice little run. I thought he did alright when he was on the right hand side. At the back end of the first half. Picking the ball up, coming inside with it. Making some decent runs. But again, just... Just ran out of steam. In the second half. Looked all over the place to be honest. Looked like he was a bit lost. The make-up of the team. And again... It's hard, isn't it? You're looking at the numbers and you look at what they do. But how do you talk about players when, as a collective, they look disinterested? And I just think far too often, our players just run round a bit and we applaud them for it. And it's what actually annoys me about the likes of Dwight McNeill, Gray and O'Wobee. They just run round a bit. I know the people might see that as being amazing. I don't. And I never will. And I never ever will, by the way. I never ever will. I look at players and how they affect the games. And what they bring to the games. And what fight they have in the games. To change it. I've given Dwight McNeill a six and a half. As I said, I think he took his goal really well. And some of his dribbles. Dwell in his dribbles, three out of five. But I look at all the effect of games. And I just don't think these players effect the games. The players who are our most creative players. Just don't affect it at all. But yeah, done well with his goal. Took his goal really well. Dymari Gray, I thought he was garbage. I really did. I thought he was the second or the third goal missing about today. Falls over. I thought he was crap honestly. I thought he was crap. I didn't receive all the time. All the time. I think he's a player that goes hard. I mean he won two out of 12 ground deals today. I think he's just a player that goes hard. All the time. He is what he is. He is what you get for one and a half million. He is what happens to a football club when it's sold all its best plays. And it's running on empty. And I think. Yeah. I just. Those three. He shouldn't. But he just continues to wind me up. It might make Neil maybe less though because I do think that he works. He does work hard and he tries to affect the game. Just with his hard work. But he just annoy me. The three of them just annoy me. They're supposed to be our creative players and I look at them week in and week out. And they just don't affect the game at all. They wind me up. Other people probably look at them and go think they do brilliantly. But they wind me up. Those three players just wind me up. Simple as that. I've given them a three. Neil Mopai. Just what can you say. The wrong player. The wrong player. The manager picked him and he's the wrong player. Manager picked him and then the goalie smacks long balls down the pitch but what's he going to do is he just trying to win the second balls. What kind of tactic is winning second balls? How he lasted 74 minutes I'll never know. I'll never know. He was awful. He was absolutely awful. He was a terrible signing. Terrible signing. He was torn about before the game because the Villa game was on and someone called Gordon and how badly he's been playing for Newcastle. But you just think you just think if we'd sold Gordon and used that money towards a striker we could have had a decent striker and in the end we've ended up with Mopai and no one else. I just don't understand why the manager played him. I just don't get it. He had a huge opportunity to put us in the lead before our time. Huge, huge opportunity. And he just hit it straight at the goalie. Hit it straight at the goalie. And I do think he's one of those players that when people see him on the team sheet they just think we've had it here when in trouble here. Because the way he plays the way you have to play to get him in the game and the way he wants to come deep he offers nothing as a centre forward. I mean he offers absolutely nothing. Aerial Jules won. None out of 7. That's not his fault. Seven times they've played the ball up towards him. It's not his fault for this size. But he missed a guilt edge chance there at 1-1 just before our time. I've given him a 2. I don't understand why the manager kept on for so long. I took him off after 20 minutes. I really would have. I took him off after 20 minutes. Woeful. Absolutely woeful. The subs Nathan Patterson came on for well, concussion wasn't it for Ben Godfrey. Looked very ropey when he came on. Very ropey. Defensively. Didn't really do much when he hired up the pitels. Very very ropey. I've given him a 4. Tom Davis looked all over the place when he came on. Just giving the ball away left right. Just giving the ball away all over the place. He was on the pitch for 20 minutes. Barely did anything. I thought he was really poor when he came on. Give Tom a 3. Ellis Sims. I thought Ellis did all right when he came on. I thought he did all right. He helped the ball up in the corner. And then got a cross into the box. He just kept it alive and he had to wait for other players to come and join in. And I thought he showed a little level of maturity there. I don't understand how a play can start a game at Old Trafford and then not get a start at Godderson Park. I really don't get that whatsoever. I just don't get it. I think the kid deserves a chance to start at Godderson if Tom and the Carver looms not playing. He never does. But I've given him 6.5 because I think he at least tried to do something. Why he's only played 16 minutes I'll never know. Only the manager knows that. This is what we are now. We're pinning our hopes on a player who should still be on loan at Sunderland. This is what we've been left with by these owners and by this board. Simple as that. Simple as that. Absolutely dreadful performance. Dreadful day with the likes of Bournemouth winning and Wolves winning. I think they're all clean now to be fair. I think it's down to Southampton I think Southampton have gone. And then it's Leicester Forest Evans and Leeds who are in the mix. And I think that's the seven games you look at them and you look at them now. Palace 1-3 in a row going up against them next week. Then Newcastle Brighton City, Leicester Wolves It's not looking good at all because we can't score goals. It's as simple as that. Can't score goals. It's the only commodity that matters in football scoring goals. The only commodity that matters and we are a team that hasn't got any and it's staggering. It's absolutely staggering that it's been it's been left like this. Very very sad very very sad and personally I feel the worst now because I just don't see as I said one win in eight I don't see where the next win is going to come from away from home with therefore but there you go just go and enjoy the rest of your Saturday night and forget about everything because they've all forgotten about you.
