 Hello, welcome to Sovi TV's Everton News Daily. Everton drew 2-2 at Nottingham Forest, I'm sure you all know yesterday, had the air city ground, and Deich held his post-match press conference, got a few clips from that conference. First of all, this is his thoughts on the performance. Well, pleasing for the performance. Result got away from us in the, well, didn't get away from it, you know, a point away here, they've got a good home record, we knew that. But very pleased with it, a lot of the performance. Mistake for the second goal when we stripped the midfield, we don't need to at that stage of the game, but that's a continued learning kind of curve of managing the game and working from your shape even when attacking. But a lot of good things today. You know, we wanted to come down here and take the game on, that was clear from the first half which we did do. Created chances, got a penalty. Amazed we didn't get a second one, but you know, I don't know what gets a penalty anymore. You touch someone on their shoulder, they go down it's a penalty. I'm ashamed as clearly gets their lad puts his foot in front of him, kicks the back of his foot and apparently that's not, I don't know where that lives. But other than that, you know, an overall very strong performance from us I think. On the back of a big shifter at Arsenal, forget the score line, there's a big physical shift down there, you know, you've got to work hard. So to respond from that and take the game on today as we did, was very pleasing also. Yeah, there you go. Personally I thought we were okay in spells, poor in other spells, poor second half. I think we weren't amazing, but I think Forrest were a bit rubbish and I think they were there for the taking. I do think we were a bit hard done by in the first half. I thought we should have had a penalty. And Sean Deitch did so too. This is what you have to say about the challenge on Seamus Coleman in the first half. No, I asked the referee, he said he didn't think it was a penalty. And I said, well, I don't know what is then because at the end of the day, the reason my way of looking at it is I was a defender. And when someone goes and they're broken in front of you, if you touch or you're around them, even when I was playing was a donkey's years ago, but even then it's a penalty. You know, but apparently he said no, he felt he kicked the back of his foot. And I said, yeah, he kicked the back of his foot. Do you know why? Because he put his foot in front of his foot, so it prevents him. So I imagine now he's on goal and now it happens to me it's a penalty. I think it's a penalty. It gets given. You know what I mean? If he's on goal, he's going to shoot and the defender puts their foot in front of yours and you kick the back of that. I'm telling you, that gets given as a penalty. Yeah, there's not really anything else I can add to be honest. It was a blatant pen in my opinion. And I understood, you know, them looking at it, you know, they look at the angle and what they say, well, he wasn't far, because shame is coming, kicks, callback. But if callback puts his leg in, if callback touches the ball and hits the ball away from coming and then Coleman does hit callback when, well, callback touched the ball. But if callback puts his leg there or his foot and doesn't touch the ball, then all callback's done is put a leg out. And if you're behind him, then you've just, you've just stopped Coleman from shooting. If that was outside the box and he was through and go like Deitch says, and he put a leg in between Coleman's feet and Coleman's been stripped up by them. It's a red card, or if it's in the box, it's a penalty. They probably looked at it and just gone, oh, Coleman's kicked him. That's just lazy. Why is Coleman kicked him? Because Coleman's callbacks put a leg in there and he didn't touch the ball. So, yeah, but it is what it is, blatant penalty. I don't think it's an excuse for why I have some drop two points. Because I think even then we should have, you know, we were still in front, we should have. I think we should have gone and won that game anyway, but yeah, it's just a bit rubbish. Also ironic that Forrest have come out and, you know, are going to complain to the PGMOL over some of their decisions. I thought we should have had a penalty against them, so quite funny actually. The last clip, Sean Dyche was asked about his thoughts on the relegation battle and the fact that there's, you know, quite a few teams in the battle, and that's not normally the case, and this is what you have to say on Everton being in a relegation fight. Yeah, I mean, the challenge of the division is there for all to see, you know. I mean, at the top, you know, we always make this noise about how it's looking different. Well, if you notice, it's beginning to get back towards the top six being the top six. But outside of that, you know, there's a chunk of clubs that are all in there, which, you know, we've got ourselves back into a better position and that would have been even better today. Obviously, it would have took all three, but it's a work in progress. It's got to be quick work, I know that. But I'm seeing it with myself, I'm seeing it with my staff, I'm seeing it every day on the training pitch. I can guarantee your results, I've told the lads that, but if we keep doing the right things, it increases your potential to get results. And I think that's a pleasing thing for me today. Come down and try and change the way story. Try and change the feel, the rhetoric about the way performances of Everton football club. And I think that was on show today. Yeah, there you go. I think this is one of those winnable games that could try and lift us out of the relegation fight. And it's another game where, for me, we dropped two points. The good thing is we didn't lose, so we didn't let Farris get away from us. They still got a game around on us. Not like they'll probably win it, but we could have done with three points yesterday. Yesterday we didn't, because we've now played more games than some of the teams around us as well. So hopefully we've got to focus on... You can always say we've got to ignore other teams results, but no. Hopefully other teams around us drop points. I'll continue to drop points and hopefully we pick up some points. But those winnable games are starting to run out now. We look at the home games, we've got the likes of Tottenham and Newcastle, which we'd like to think we can get three points out of. And then we've got quite a few tough away games like Chelsea and United. So I'd say United. They've got to be 7-0 yesterday by a mid-table team. Moving on, MSP Sports Capital are edging closer to a minority stake in Everton. This has been going on for quite a while now, but you know there's room that's going to be happening finalised this week. Hopefully that can get done ASAP, because I think the deal talk is that they're having two members on the board, off their own people, and 25% share. Hopefully one day that might rise and they might buy more stakes in the club. The only thing we can hope for is that they've got really good input and can help the board and improve the board. Because you can't really get any worse at the moment, let's be honest. So fingers crossed that gets done this week. A bit of stadium news. Some steelwork has emerged on top of the four-level West Stand. Internal walls are now visible in the West Stand. And also the construction partners Lango Rock hope to have the south stand roof complete by Easter. I was on a walk in New Brighton a couple of weeks ago and you could look over the water and it does look like a proper stadium now. It's gone quite quick, it's flying up. Let's just hope that we're in the Premier League and moving into it. Hopefully still in the Premier League next season as well as we look forward to moving into it. Because it would be stressful if we get to a championship next season. Hopefully we don't, but if we do. And we're about mid-table at Christmas or something. Then we'll start flapping about spending another season of the championship while moving into the new stadium, which isn't good at all. I wouldn't make a very good documentary. Finally, Everton women played at Walton Hall part yesterday. They did a get beat to a nil by Aston Villa, a goal from Dali and an on goal by Meg Finnegan. It's one they should have or really probably wanted to win. They've still got a game in hand on Villa after that game. But we six sixth, Villa fifth. We're on 19 points and Villa on 23 points. So if they won that game, they'd have gone above Villa with a game in hand into the top five. But they were unlucky. Apparently I didn't watch the game, but apparently they played well. But just got unlucky, had an on goal in it. Villa goes actually the same result, which finalised the men's game last week to a nil by Villa at home. But unlucky. He seems to get quite a few results against us, Villa. I think the men's team haven't beaten them since they come up at home. But yeah, there you go. That's all the news for today. Let me know your thoughts on the Coleman penalty as well. I'm sure a lot of people think it was a penalty. Sean Dijk does for good reason. Make sure you like this video and subscribe to the channel.
