 Welcome to Toffy TV, I am joined by Everton legend Peter Reed. Lovely to see you, Reedie. Go to be back at Goodison. It's about memories of this, of playing here. Just with a couple of lads in there, she had a big handy. It was always good to see snuds in Pat Van Den Hau, so it's nice. And I've got to admit I've had a bottle of water. What did you make last season, Peter? We were really positive in the summer, and it didn't quite play out like that. I think when the new owner come in, or the major shareholder, Mr Mishiri, I thought, very positive. I had worn them bells when we bought similar players. I thought you bought similar players into the team. Obviously the start wasn't great. I was thinking football when I was watching early doors. Cwmanside played with a slow tempo. I understand ball retention and possession, I'm all for it. But sometimes you've got to let them know that you're about and get that team. I always thought it wasn't the way I wanted it to play. Obviously they changed it. Big Sam came in, he was a big pal of mine. I think it got results and it wasn't pretty. The only criticism I'd have of Sam is that once we were safe, in my opinion, we should have gone for it in games, especially at home. I think this stadium is a stadium where you want to get the crowd behind you and people off the feet. Listen, when you're safe, why not do that? I don't think you really got everything. I know Sam really well. I'm setting football clubs of certain fits. I think Howard Kendall said this place is a marriage made never for him. I don't think it was a marriage made never for Sam. I'm trying to put it in the most diplomatic way I can. Obviously the board of directors and the new owner decides to change it. Brand comes in as a director of football, which is a European model. It looks like he might be buying most of the players. I think the coach has got to have an input in that. From the press conference they looked as though they were singing off the same sheet. Like you just said, it is relatively well, isn't it? We've had Steve Walshon and Coom and that didn't really seem to work. I can't remember ever actually seeing him in the same press conference. We're already one up on that. And there was a bit of uncertainty amongst the fans who was buying the players. I still am certainty now. I mean I don't know. That's something that I always think football clubs when they're successful and I've been at football clubs when they're successful. I write at the top and then I write with the management staff and the playing staff. And the old football club should be what's on the brochure. A football club all together. And you can't do anything unless that's the case. What do you think looking at the team and obviously Marco Silva is coming now? He's been very successful in Europe. He's had a little bit of a mix pack in England. I mean, I think, you know, Trogenswman, he said, you know, he went down with hope but I think he gave a whole fighting chance. I'm going to make feeling knowing I knew I was trying to get transfer funds. I didn't get them. I think it's fair to say Marco Silva got them in the January. So that's nothing against Marco Silva. I'm just trying to protect make feeling here. So no, that's the case because I think English coaches or British coaches get the short straw sometimes. So that's one I want to put out there. But it didn't, I mean, Wofford did it. It didn't go well. It started really well. I remember at Wofford, they were in the lead in a majority of games and just couldn't hold on for whatever reason. So, but, hey, listen, they decided on Marco Silva and everybody around, around the football club, and I mean, supporters more than anything, I've got to get behind them because that's the way it is. You've got to get behind the manager new regime and hopefully it goes well. What do you think on the team wise? What do you think Evan really need? Because without saying 11 new players, you know, what areas do you think? I don't like disrespecting players because it's hard out there. But I mean, I don't, I'll give you an example. Wayne Rooney, fantastic player. Sigarton, classon. Now, did they play in the same position? Yeah, you just cannot do that. I would like more strength, physical strength at pace. I mean, I know you've got to pass the ball retention and picking them passes is very, very important. You know, you'll have a look at the broon in place of Manchester City and he sees passes that, you know, you say great and the great Allen Ball used to do it here. You know, see passes and that's what, that's what, you need that physical and that pace because nowadays, tactically, teams are better nowadays. You know, they drop off so you've got to try and feed things through, but I think sometimes you've got to be playing a high tempo and get at them. Now away from home, if you are going to drop off possession, you've still got to have that pace to get over the top. So I think that's pace and power with the new signings for me. And if I've got one, it would be one thing that worried me about Everton over the last few years is there like a pace instrument in the side and the tempo, the game's player. Just like you mentioned, Wayne Rooney there, just very quickly, looks as though he's going to move on to DC United. Do you think that that's the right decision or can you understand why you may take that decision? I think, I feel sorry for the Evertonians because he's one of our own, he mad blew himself and we've seen him when he was a youngster here and he was a different class. We didn't see the best years of him for obvious reasons. He went up Manchester United. I don't blame him for that because he kept the club going with the fee we got, but he's come back and you've got to say he's passed his best. It happens to us all, but he's been a great ambassador for the English football and I just ain't bad away. He scored more goals than anyone else for us. See, when he had a chance to pick a pass, he could pick a pass, but on the other side, can you afford a luxury player who you might think is he passed his best? That's it. I've seen him play on the park and he's made things happen. He's scored goals, but then I've seen him look really leggy and get frustrated. You know, you get him off before he gets sent off and I think that's borne out of frustration. It happens to us all. Thank you very much, Peter. Thank you very much, Peter.
