 Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the player ratings for Newcastle United 1. Everton 2, a fantastic 3-pointer St James's Park, propelling Everton up to 10th in the Premier League, and hopefully now looking up rather than looking over our shoulder way. We pretty much way after the beginning of the month, so it's been a decent month since the, well, since Michael Silver got sacked, it's been a decent month. Let's get it right. A second consecutive win for Carlo Ancelotti, and he started off pretty good at Everton. Yes, let's get into it. Jordan Pickford, I'll give Jordan Pickford a 7, big game for him last season. I acted the goat obviously, lost focus today, made one really good save in the first half, always switched on his kick and was good, never got into any of the difficulties he did last year. And with someone like Andy Carroll knocking about a lot of high balls going into the box, I thought he dealt with it mostly quite well, so yeah, I've given him a 7. Jibril Cyddeby, I've given him a 6. I thought certainly first half they tried to exploit him going forward. Let's be honest, he's not the greatest defender in the world. He just isn't, his strength is attacking. And he doesn't like to defend in his own half. And I thought certainly first half they exploited that, and obviously we made changes in the second half to sort of time negate that. So don't think it was his best game for Everton. But he's still a really good player and I think the manager will start to understand how to use him and how he can be a big asset for the team because I think he is a big asset for the team. And we've already seen that with Seamus Coleman almost playing as a third centre back against Burnley and how that can work going forward. Now he's a really good player going forward, he's just not the greatest defender in the world. So left me with my heart, my mouth towards the end as well because I thought he'd give a penalty away when he just nudged Andy Carroll, which I've seen him giving, let's be honest. He pushed him in the back, I've seen him giving. So I've given him a 6. On the other side, Leighton Baines, I've given him a 7. Very solid, very professional, just good performance, good solid performance. You can't perform as you want when you want someone to come in and do the job. And I think that's the thing with Leighton Baines. I think for a while the temptation was he can't play and Dean needs to play every week. But now and again you need to be able to have someone to come in and give someone a rest. Under Michael Silver, I think we flogged a very small collection of players where we had alternators but we were never willing to just let them have the odd game every six or seven games or whatever. I don't think you can go on like that, I don't think you can do that. And I think what Carl-Ansholotty has recognised today is with two games in the space of three days we had to make changes and I think people like Leighton Baines coming in was massive whereas last year we didn't do that. We went from barely winning 5-1 and went to Blighton and three days later the next day it was, wasn't it? And with the travelling and everything as well though, two away games. We played I think basically the same team bar, maybe one or two. And it caught up with us and it will catch up with us and it catches up with you every game. We've got another game on Wednesday, we've got another game Sunday and they're big games. So we're going to have to put a lot of effort into it. It was a massive decision to make, well it was the right decision to make those changes today and Leighton Baines coming in and did an excellent job. So I've given him a seven. Michael Keane, I've given him a seven as well. He started off really, really slow, like really, really, he worried me really early on in the game. I mean very early on like in the first minute. And he did lose most of his aerial battles with Michael Keane, with Andy Carroll, I'll say that. But most people will lose their aerial battles with Andy Carroll. It's what you do after it I think, it's how you respond to it. And I thought he defended quite well for most of the game. We know what he can't do, we know that. But today I think he showed what he can do and he did what he can do well. And then that's the most important thing. Last year in this game, in this particular fixture, he just lost his way completely. Today I just thought he kept his head and we had to deal with a lot of long balls in the box and he dealt with a lot of them as well. The ones with Carroll maybe didn't win a lot of them but the ones he had to win he won. So I think he started off fairly shaky but got better. So I've given him a seven. Mason Holgate, I've given him a seven and a half. I think he started off a little bit nervous next to Michael Keane. But I think he grew into the game really, really well. I don't think he looks the same player next to Michael Keane. But I think he's got a lot about him and he had a little bit of a spat with one of their players. I believe he had a bit of a spat with Fabio Delph as well or Fabio Delph at the end. I don't know, that's what I believe. I'm not sure what that was over. But he's got something about him. He's got something about him this kid. He's got an attitude about him which I really like. And it's that kind of attitude if home the right way can take you to the very top. He's a good defender, he's a good footballer as well. He hasn't got a lot of this nonsense hype around them like John Stones did. And I think with players like him, they can be the backbone of Everton's team for years to come. And I hope they are, I really hope they are. It's just about putting the right people around them because they're youthful, their energy and their attitude is exactly what this team needs. And I think Mason Holgate has really come on in the last couple of months massively. So I've given him a seven and a half. Sigarton I've given a seven, quite a steady game, not brilliant. Not sure why he was marking Andy Carroll. He had a football why sitting in the first half. He kept things ticking over. Just playing in the midfield as a good midfielder like we said for a long time. Just doing his job, not doing anything outrageous, not trying to play number 10. Just playing in a role where you're asking him to just... And you know what he does as well? He wins the ball back quite a lot. And I think the fact that I think we've been playing him in the wrong position for so long. I think he should have always been playing deeper and asked to do more. Cos he does win the ball back quite a lot. Not saying he's well beaten or anything. But recently he's done what being asked of him, that's all you can do. And when he's told where to play and he can't go missing, I think he does stay in the game a lot more. So I've given him a seven. Tom Davis I've given a six and a half. Obviously he started to midfield and then he went over to the left. And I thought he did a lot right today. But for me my issue with Tom is, and this will be a lot of people's issue, and I think this has always been a lot of people's issue with Tom. He gives the ball away in silly areas needlessly. And I think he did that a few times today. It's far too many times when you can play a simple ball or run into a certain area of the pitch and he almost tries to take the hard option and then gets caught out. And because he's not a big lad, he is good at winning fouls, don't get me wrong, but you can't rely on that all the time. And if you're losing the ball in the middle of the park cos you're just running with it and then they're taking it off you. Especially when there's times in that second half and in the first half when we needed to just keep the ball. And Tom's got a lane to do that better. We like Tom, we think he's a brilliant person, good footballer. But he's got to start realising that the most important thing to do is keep the ball. And all round I tell you the decent game today. It was just those little moments that annoyed me, just really annoyed me at times, running in blind alleys where he should be realising what he should be doing and not losing the ball. So I'll give him a six and a half. Theo woke up, I gave him a five. He struggled to get into the game and when he did get in the game I don't think his end product was really that good. Obviously went off. I don't think he gave much help. He came back, he'd been injured, he's come back. It was good that he came back into the side cos we needed the body, we needed the legs, but he just didn't play very well so I've given him a five. With Charleston I've given eight. I thought he was excellent today. I thought he was excellent. He just works so hard. He just works so hard, he just wants it doesn't he? He just wants to win every ball and run at people and he'll get fouls and he's clever and he makes opportunities and he's got an assist today. He just wants to work hard for the team. Theo, what more can you ask from the kids? He scores goals, he sets goals up, works hard and he plays support him. He does it for the team. He doesn't really have any ego. He seems to be enjoying himself at this club and that'll take him really, really far. I just hope that now that we've got a manager like Carlo Ancelotti that he'll want to do that with Carlo Ancelotti. And all the commentators keep on telling me he's been linked with United, blah blah blah. Why would you want to go to United? What are they doing that way now? Nothing. So I just love his determination and his hard work and yeah, brilliant. The attitude is absolutely brilliant. And between him and Dominic Alvent Louing I think they've been the bedrock on what we've built this recent run on. I really do think that and they've been absolutely brilliant. Moose Keane, I've given him a six. I've got a starter day. I thought he worked hard and he tried things that didn't come off. I think he should have scored and he had a couple of really good opportunities to score and didn't take them. Obviously he got subbed off. It's going to be difficult for him, but I do think he's going to get a chance with this manager. I think he's going to get a chance to show that the manager is going to fill him with confidence and the manager is going to know how to play him as well. And that's the most important thing. It's that when you look at a Moose Keane now you look at Dominic Alvent Louing and that's the level you need to get at. And I think earlier in the season when we bought him a lot of people thought well, Dominic Alvent Louing will be chasing Moose Keane's. You know, and there's a way of that like that. And I think that's what you need. You need people fighting for the shit. And it seems a long time ago now when Duncan took him off at Old Trafford and people were all crying ass on about it and the media were all crying ass on about it. That's a long time ago, doesn't it? Do you know what? Sometimes people just need a bit of tough love in their life. I'm told they're just not doing what they need to do. And some people respond differently. And he actually has responded in the right way. He has a sult. He's going out there and he's working out. It's not coming off for him. But he's still doing a job. So fair play. I've only given him a six. But I appreciate his effort. He should have took one of his chances. He should have. And Dominic Havel did not give him a nine. Two strikers goals today. A ball bounce around in the box. And he's put it in. And he's got a tapping in the far post with really good movement. From a brilliant with Jalys and one. And the manager said after the game on Boxing Day he had to improve his movement. So straight away the manager has identified what he needs to get better at. So straight away the manager knows what he needs to coach him on. So straight away you've got a point. And he's moving for the second goal. He's pulled away to the back post. He let the two forwards, let defenders go towards the ball. With Jalys and Ro, the lovely ball to the back post. And he's got a tapping from a yard. And that's what's been missing out of his game. And he's got two today. And he's already equaled or bettered his goal with him from last season. His evidence number nine is where could he be magnificent. He wants it. And no matter what anybody says. No matter what anybody says about Tom and Carmel. He's improved more than anybody in the Everton squad in the last 12 months. Massively improved. And you can throw me all what he's scored. He's getting better. He's getting better. And that's all you can ask. All you can ask. He works hard and he's getting better. And now he's scoring goals. And that's all you can ask from a player. And I'm delighted for him. Delighted for him. Because he's... It comes down to him realising what he needs to do. And I think the penny's dropped. And the manager's already said he's not going to bring in another striker. And that's fine. Listen. I was all on the slatt end frame. Cos I was thinking, well, you know what? That's someone who can help these young players out. But I didn't want them to replace. Places like Tom and Carmel and Jalys. Cos I want those players playing. I've never heard about Mason Hogan before. They're the spine of this team. They're the players. They've got the attitude. They're the young lads who want to get us to European football and winning trophies. And I want that. That's what you want. You've got that good mix. And it was fantastic to see Tom get those two goals. It really was. Really, really was. And I know on Wednesday... I know Wednesday you're playing in the city. And I know he'll have a good game again. Cos he loves playing in the city. And you know we get a goal against city. I remember we played city last time. We just scored that goal. But he got it on the line. I was like, what are you robbing that goal for? That's why he's robbing that goal. That's what you want from year number nine. You strike a robbing goal. So the confidence levels keep on going up and up and up and up and up. And I was delighted with his performance today. Him and Jalys were absolutely fantastic. Absolutely fantastic today. So there you go. He's my man of the match. If I've been dealt with come on, I've given him a seven. Really helped to get his back in the game. Got a grip in that midfield. Manager would probably want him in more often than not. But because of legs and stuff. Yeah, he mean again I've given him a seven. Came in the last 10 minutes. Steady got helped control on the car a little bit more. And dealt with the high balls into the box. And James Coleman gave him a seven as well. Cos he's done the same thing. The subs were brilliant. The subs were all brilliant. They were all manufactured. Not to tactically to do a job. And they all done the job perfectly. And that's what good managers do. Good in-game management. So brilliant. Delighted with three points. Let me know your thoughts in the comments on my play ratings. You agree? Do you disagree? Let me know.
