 Welcome to Toffy TV, it's a match preview Manchester City vs Everton. New Year's Day 2020. Is it scary? It goes quick, but time's not real. It's a manmade invention. We have to be there too because that's new to me though. We'll sort of. The talent of our five on Wednesday is picking off, so that's a time that you'll look through for the game, otherwise you're missing. Difficult game. Obviously playing the champions. I don't think they're going to be champions for much longer. Literally much longer. Probably got a match. It's not the other way around. But we go there, New Year's Day. Obviously with a lot of confidence. Six games unbeaten in normal time. Two back-to-back wins over Christmas with Carlo and Shalottie coming in. You look at this game and suddenly you think, fancy a bit of that. Man City had a couple of defeats. Not being at the very best. Do you have weaknesses in the defensive areas? Why not? We've won three of our last five Premier League games and that should give us a little bit of confidence days. After Liverpool, it's obviously the toughest away game you can have. They're a marvellous team. But at the moment they're not firing on all cylinders. We've seen them against Sheffield United the other day. They got away with going Mousses. That decision is giving us off side and when you look at it, it's an armpit or something like that, they've been won down. The only kind of disappointing thing is Bravo's not in goal for Argyn. He's literally a hologram for them. He's a poor keeper. He's the reason why he lost to Wolves. The other night, Edison's marvellous. Difficult. But their weaknesses are in defence and that's where we're very strong in the final third. It'll be interesting to see how we approach it with Ancelotti because tactically we've seen what he's done over the last couple of games. He's flexible, slightly flexible in terms of the start. They'll have much more during the game. We've changed four reasons three or four times. And suppose it'll be trying to frustrate them a little bit at the start. I think it's difficult playing Manchester City because they do have all the ball. So you'd expect them to have 70% of the ball. And they're a little bit cuter than, say, Liverpool in terms of the way they play Liverpool. They'll mix it up a little bit and go long. City don't really play like that. And in De Bruyne, they're familiar with the best player in the Premier League. It's absolutely incredible. He's been involved in 19 of Manchester City's goals this season. Seven goals, 12 assists. So he's a fabulous player, obviously does all right against us. It's a tough game, but it's a game that six weeks ago you'd have gone four, five, six. And now you're looking and going, well, you know who knows. We've only lost one at the last four at the Etihad. So if we can stay in the game, I'm confident we've got enough in the final there that can hit them. It's just that they've got quite a lot on their mindsets. Of course they've got quality players, but I think there is a general belief now amongst the fans, the team as well, which is the most important thing that we probably can get a result out of this. We've gone, you know, listen, we went to, even when we went to Leicester. We were winning the game, still in the game so late. Liverpool, you always felt like if we had nicked a goal before they nicked a goal, you know, in that second half you would have got an interest in, although they were clearly the better side. Went to Old Trafford, played Chelsea and Arsenal at home. So I think the confidence is there now and the confidence in the manager, the confidence in the systems and the players we've got, I think, can hear them. You know, the counter-attack, I think, against Man City is a big thing. Players like with Charleston, Dominic Harver-Lewin, whether he brings back Bernard into the side, they don't know, but they're the kinds of players I think you can hear. Man City, listen, we know, like you just said, they'll have a lot of the ball and it's about staying focused and switched on while they have the ball so they can't pick those holes in your defence. It's what you do when you've got the opportunity to break and this is where they haven't, they've got to be clever and cute. Dominic Harver-Lewin's got a, he always seems to fancy playing against City. Always seems to fancy it. I think it's because you go back to that performance you had in one of the first Koeman games when we drew there, 1-1, and how well he played that night. And I think it's come on from then. So he always seems to get a goal against them or, you know, has a good game against them. And obviously on the back of a couple of good games he's had, he's had a good six weeks hasn't he? So let's hope that continues. Because that could be the catalyst for maybe getting something. And I think the first thing you've got to do is go there without that fear, without the fear of losing, but also back there with some kind of organised plan. And I think we'll have both going into this game, whether it pays off is a different thing, because Man City, as we know, are that good. But as the game against Wall showed, you never know. You know, Man City are 2-0 up, obviously they have the goalkeeper sent off, but you just never know in football if things go the right way for you. We've got to try and stay tight for the opening 15 minutes, because they could very quickly take the game away from you. And then if we could get in front, you never know what happens. You're going to listen for me, for evidence to win the game or even to get a draw. We're probably going to have to have a little bit of the draw with the green. We're going to have to defend incredibly well. But at a given, they're the team, the trophy, you know, the champions of the league, and it's been one of the best teams we've ever seen, I think, probably in the league, right, when they're on form. But like I said before, just at the minute, it doesn't seem to be going forward. It doesn't seem to be in the groove. The winning games and the losing, the draw, and you know, we look at their results probably quite a lot, you know, in the hope that they could close some points back against the other lot. And it hasn't been happening with light. And I hope that now Liverpool are going to win the league. It's 40, it's going to be 17 points when they win their game, and it's too far for any team to close back, especially when you're chasing the top side. So, you know, I actually feel shitty. I don't know, this year I've got a much better chance to win the Champions League. I feel as though when they get the poor back at the end of the year, Sanay's are allegedly back in February. They're going to get a big boost from those two players. So, I think they can do really well in the Champions League. And I think runners-up and take the Champions League, I think they'd be quite happy with that this year now. And then I'd expect them to win the league next year, probably a couple of additions in the summer. But just right now to be playing them is probably a decent sign. Just had a disappointing loss of walls and then a scrappy winner-own to Chef United. So, we've got to go there and just play our game. And I think everyone will be behind the team. And as long as we leave everything on the pitch we'll see where we are if we lose the game. We're going to lose games. We said before we're not a perfect team. We need players. We haven't got a full squad. That's the big part of it isn't. The big part of it is, you know, squad-wise, we've got a mix-and-match. And we don't, you know, listen, Dominic Avallewin and Rich Arleson have run through brick walls for the last few games. And you don't know what they've got in the tank. Hopefully they've still got a lot. The young lads are pretty fit. They seem to be well off for it. They don't need them. Very rarely miss games of football or look for excuses to miss games of football. So play, don't they? They want to play. And hopefully that continues because it is, you know, we've had, it's funny, us in the city have had quite a few similar problems this season. Injuries and VAR. So just a different sort of, just a different sort of levels. Hopefully now, you know, if we can get through the next spell of games, then we could have the likes of a whoa, we coming back. Snad, we coming back. And I know, listen, people are a bit like me, but it doesn't matter. It's like they're just adding them on to the squad. You're adding them on to the competition. You're giving yourself options. Yeah, you're getting more players in and around the team. And then hopefully Gabamon, I personally have completely written them off this season. So there's no point even thinking about them, but Gabamon's hopefully back some part in January. And if we're playing well on this conference day, suddenly he comes back into a team or back into a squad where he doesn't need to come back straight away. So there's no agency. There's no agencies to come back in and he can do little bits. And that's exactly what you want. And I think there'll be a couple of additions in January. Hopefully so. I'm not sure whether we'll actually buy anyone, but I expect to be one or two loans as well, just to pad that squad on to the sun. So we're going into, you know, we've ended the year which was very unlike Everton with a win. I'd seen a static before the Newcastle game. Neither of us are very good with the final game of the calendar year. I think Newcastle had only won one in 14 before and I was thinking, there we go. And Everton's wasn't much better. So, you know, we ended the year on a high. Just looking at now, normally we start the new year on a low. But then we've lost the last, we haven't won it, the first game in the new year for about six years. 2012, you said. 2012, you're a way at West Brom. So, you know, it's not going to be broken today, but generally we're all right at the end, you know. You know, it's been a while since we won there and they're a top side, but we do okay because they do let you play Manchester City. It's just if you've got to defend brilliantly against them otherwise. Otherwise they can just destroy you. But there's no reason why we can't get a result out of it. Like you say, they're not playing as well as they can. And we are doing okay and we've got a manager that knows what he's doing. But for us now, it's all about progress. What I mean by that is we even forget the result, but let's get a shape. Let's make sure we're disciplined. And let's see if we can get our attack and play improved. And as we go through, I think the fans stay with it. The fans then buy into that project. It'd be lovely to get some kind of result out of the game, especially with the draw. A draw would make good results. Especially with, you know, all eyes on Amfield on Sunday, that FA Cup type, because I think a lot of people are thinking, you know, over 8,000 Evatorians go and a lot of people are thinking, this could be the one. This could be the one. I'm not honestly sitting here saying it's going to be the one. I'm just saying people are thinking this could be the one. There's a lot of factors and maybe it could be the one. And you just hope that we can go into that game with that little bit of confidence, especially if we can come off the city game, you know, we can get something out of that, thinking we can go into these games and get something. Yeah, if we go to the city and we do well, carry out a game, plan, play well, get something out of it. And why couldn't you follow that same mentality into Amfield? You know, we went there three weeks, four weeks ago, whatever, we were spanked, you know, we were naive, but saying all of that, we still ended up with more shots than Liverpool on the night. You know, listen, you can go like that, but we could have scored five goals ourselves that night. You know, we can see the five. You've got to look at it that way. I don't think, I don't think Liverpool are playing brilliantly, defensively either at the minute. You know, they just started having a couple of clean sheets again, but... Bring me that, bring that over here. No, no, so you could get it then. But city, obviously, we can only look at city. The next off, fantastic side, loads of unbelievably talents of footballers, but at the end of the day, as Wolves pre-reviewed the other night 11-11 and if you can go in and stay. I mean, Wolves have done the double over man city decision, which is bizarre. You know, so it's all about staying in the game. And then can you take your opportunities when they come home? Being good enough to take your opportunities. And I think we will get opportunities. I think we'll get opportunities to score. In this game, I think we'll get chances. It's just, like you just said, can you take those chances? I think we'll get plenty of opportunities to run behind them. I think at the Goddison game, they beat us 3-1. But I think even Pep said after it, you know, we could have got something out of it. And we weren't playing well at that time, you remember? It was a, we just tried to do something different. And Edison's made three brilliant saves in that game. And Staling's won it the bar and has gone over the line by a fraction. And we got done with a free kick. So, you know, we made a couple of mistakes that day and we could have got something out of it. I still don't think the Etihad's in an intimidating place. I really don't. And that's hard for the battle for Man City. I still think some teams believe they can go there and give them a game. Sometimes doesn't always work out. I think Brighton went there and so we're very open and ended up getting a bit of a beating. So, it can go out of the way. It's whether you've got the... Well, I forgot I don't like the early doors as well. But it's whether you've got the game plan to back up the attacking options. And hopefully with Carlo Anzosi being obviously the manager now and obviously having a few more days to look over it, he will be able to come up with some kind of plan. Whether it works or not, that's a different thing. Last time he was in England. No team beaten more than Man City. That was three times. No, well I was ashamed. You've got to balance it up with all the stats. It's like the big thing for Everton is obviously a guero. He's an incredible footballer. I think the other day he scored something like his 59th goal in his last 52 games of the year. Something which isn't bad. And then if he isn't playing because he's tired to bring Gabriel Hezuchin who scored more goals against Everton than any other Premier League. I think so. No, but that's the threat that they carry. Don't think they've got too well-class centre forwards. They've got Stearn, who I absolutely love. Oh yeah, they've got Stearn, yeah. The Brown who's the best player in the Premier League. So the littered with, you've got to be admire, the littered with marvellous attacking options. But for as good as they are in the final third, the thing that has cost them the Premier League this season has been defensively. Like us, madly, the majority of their injuries have been at centre back where they haven't got loads of cover. It's just shows you that no matter how deep your squad is and how much money you've got, if you continually get injuries to players in one key area, it can knock you. And they've still got enough quality to beat most teams, but Liverpool haven't had any injuries of note when they're running away with the league. FC Lans. FC Lans, Armstrong, they've had no injuries. So they've been able to blood out. They've been able to do other stuff. Other stuff, you know. That's what I'm creating in the trivial and all that. To avoid injuries, shit, they haven't. So defensively they are, they will give you opportunities. The Premier League table on them. Look's very much doctored, doesn't it? It does, it looks like. Who knows? But that's the thing, isn't it? So they will give you opportunities, can the challenge and come up with a give-you-score train with Dominic Aldor Llewman, who like I said before does all right against Manchester City, Ac mae'r gwcethaf ychwanegisio yn hynny rydych chi'n gwaith.

No one's time playing for us, forget them mate. The earlier it's won, they give me more time to play it back, so by the time they come they'll be like, he's won it months ago, who's arsed them all. I'm thinking about next year. I'm still thinking about booking me already. Yeah, you can't, whenever though. No, no, I'm thinking 28, 28 of May. Champions League finals on the 30th.
