 Wel, gan y toffi TV, we are continuing our season review and we're up to the attack we've already done, the defence in the field, so check them out, they are here on the channel, so make sure you check them out, we're on to the attack today. It's an interest on this, because obviously lots of talk there, two of the three on that pitch here could well be off this summer, obviously we didn't have Dominic Alveduin for more than half a season and it showed and we needed Lysialison to come up big at the end of the season, but that being said, we still didn't score enough goals with the players we have. We have, we've taken Anthony Gordon, Damarig, Ray Rondon and these two lads and that was a key point in what I had in the struggle really. Yeah, their individual stats were appalling, so it'd be fair. In terms of goals, three and fours, it's not good enough. Again, we spoke in the last video, we feel video about the numbers, the numbers were appalling. These aren't much better in terms of especially the positions they're playing, so it's something that has to be massively improved on, it's obviously, it's a team problem, we spoke about this for a while, it's not sharing enough goals around the team and that leaves obviously a big expectation on Lysialison and Dominic Alveduin and obviously I think the year before with Dominic Alveduin getting 20 goals, and that's when he got all the goals and with Charleston getting double figures, that really helped the team and maybe covered a lot of cracks early on. Especially at first half of the season, the position was excellent, the amount of points we got was excellent, them scoring goals probably covered a lot of cracks. I think obviously going into the season, Rafa Benitez bought in a couple of wide men and I think he'd set the team up for Dominic Alveduin getting injury, well he started the season with an injury, but getting an injury in the third game which essentially destroyed his season. It really did, he came back around Christmas, obviously we didn't play the second of January, but we never got anywhere near enough out of him, a couple of games, the Leeds game and obviously towards the end of the last couple of games he obviously scored and he scored a huge goal against Crystal Palace, but just nowhere near the player we used through the season before, the player that was getting hyped up, so it is something that Frank Lampard going forward is going to have to massively rectify the issue with goals. Definitely and obviously playing into that was losing obviously Hammers, Rodríguez, Guilffy Sigurddson and Lluca Deane as well, three chief creators all unavailable really for Frank Lampard, none of them were there, Rafa Benitez. Well terms of goals as well, two of those players. Got it, there was 14 goals after two. Yeah plus the assist, so you're probably talking over 20 goals just from two players and then Lluca Deane adds more so. Yeah definitely, definitely. Let's begin with someone who I thought, I think we both thought may actually go on long last season, which was Anthony Gordon, he'd had a long spell, a Preston and it was so so wasn't it, he was going some games and didn't play. But he said he learned a lot and I thought he'd potentially be sent on home by Rafa Benitez, but Rafa Benitez kept him around maybe due to the fact that he didn't have a lot of money to spend obviously if Lewis Diaz would have come in and swapped it with Hammers, then maybe go mother gone, but he didn't. So Anthony Gordon stayed around and I think Benitez did improve him, I have to say that, you know we can give Rafa Benitez a lot of sticking and rightly so, but I think credit where credit's due, we improved Anthony Gordon certainly defensively and structurally within the system. Yeah tactically he learned a lot I think on the Rafa Benitez, I think when you looked at him on the car on the lot he was trying to do a lot going forward but wasn't really doing anything to get back and in the modern game now the way to play you've got to be able to do a little bit of everything. I think he missed a Huddersfield game didn't he, he was out to the squad and that was a few days before the window was shut and so I think a lot of people thought that he was going to go out on loan but obviously with Rafa Benitez's other plans certainly with for Hammers or Daegus anyway, he froze him out and he was desperate to get rid of him so he wasn't ahead of him. We just started to see a little bit of him 15 minutes here, I think the performance at Old Trafford was very very disciplined for the side and then more and more started to come out of him and I think he's a team player, I think there's still a hell of a lot for him to do actually as an attacking player. He's got to be more goals, more assists, more just general pieces of creativity to open up the opposition but I think as a team player in the situation we were he was hugely influential because he never stopped working and obviously that was another thing we saw during the season. Rafa Benitez said earlier on he couldn't really play more than an hour and I think as the season went on he did start to struggle around the hour mark but then he'd get a little bit of a second window and keep going and Frank Lampard obviously in the second half of the season had a lot of faith in him and he played his part in obviously keeping everything up. Yeah, absolutely. Let's have a look at his numbers, his raw numbers. 35 games played in the Premier League, 25 starts he had in that. Four goals, two assists, he averages 1.3 shots per game, created four big chances this season, his key passes per game. One, he's passing accuracy around 74%. Missed two big chances this season did Anthony. Just looking at his other numbers he's fouled 1.8 times again, 48% dribbling accuracy, he's in the top 1% for blocks. Crossings only 19% and I think that's something as we move forward and now when you're playing in a front three it isn't the key thing but if you've got someone like Dominic Calvert-Lewin who thrives on crosses you still have to be putting balls into the right areas sometimes. I think the crossing thing is quite interesting because I think a lot of the time it's crossing actually isn't just whiffing balls into the box. I think he gets himself into good areas where he can pull it back or pull it into spaces and a lot of the time he over hits them or sometimes he actually does it into spaces where he should just be hitting it into the penalty spot with someone standing. I think two things that have come, I think he's playing in England 21s quite regularly now and I think we've seen a level of performance with that and that's quite a good indicator for where he's going as a player. The other side of it is obviously getting quite a reputation as well for diving and all this kind of thing and I think that's not the worst thing in the world. I know people go I should be doing this. I think it's a 50-50 on that. I think you understand the game of what you have to do and sometimes you have to, if there is contact, if you step in front of people and they push you over you have to go down and see the top plays doing all the time. I think he understands that. I think what he has to start learning is way to do it. Don't do it on the halfway line. No point. You do it in the penalty box. You will get them. I think he's got that little bit of an understandable of the game. He's not naive. He's not one of... I know it sounds stupid, but a lot of people, the kids come in and they're almost too honest at times. I think he's got that little bit of anouce and I think he just has to put it all together, but I think, you know, seeing how many games he's played, I think it's a really good start and he puts everything. You can see how much it means to him. You can see how much it means to him. He gives everything. He's just got to add that little bit of extra quality because it's there. It's just that he doesn't put it together and he's young and it really is his face. He's finished four goals and two assists. It's not bad, but this season I want to be seeing eight or nine goals because I think he's got that quality in them assists. I want to five and six. I know the assists are not always the key indicator. The Charleston will get an assist for one of Anthony Gordon's goals against Leeds, even though he had the shot. It's putting it in the right areas, so to speak. That's the key thing. But I think he's had a really good, I think he's had a really good first season and he became some of Frank Llanparg's real idol when we were in the real trouble show. He's had a really good season. A player he's raffered beneath us did bring in last summer for around £1.6 million and I think he's been really good. I think. And now he's tailed off towards the end of the season. He's done very great. But I think, you know, after Richard Charleston, one of Evan's top scorers for £1.5 million, you know, I think he's been good. Let's have a look at his numbers before we get into talking about Dymari Gray. 34 games played, five goals and four assists. This isn't the Premier League, of course. Shot per game, 1.9. Created six big chances this season and the average is 1.2 key passes per game. He's also average in 1.9 shots per game. Didn't miss any big chances himself. Past inaccuracies around 82%, which is high for a former player. Tackles 1.27, 52% of his dribbles completed. Wins 46% of his duels. But one thing that was really interesting was his pressures, his ball pressures. He's does 13 per game. He's in like the 18% trial. When you look at like a Wobie, he's in like the 90% trial for ball pressures. Shows how hard a Wobie works. Dymari Gray doesn't really do that even though I'm going to call the loom when you look at the forward line. The Charleston has lots of ball pressures. Those two don't do as much. But we did see Dymari Gray. In fact, it was the Chelsea game and he made an unbelievable block. I think it was the Chelsea game and we were under the course of it. So he has got his hands dirty as the season went on because he had to. But for one and a half million and you're getting five goals and four assists, we'd like a little bit more. But in a team that wasn't playing very well and was disjointed and didn't have a real structure for it. How do you think he did in his first season? I think first half of the season, I think he done really well. You know, goals and assists and was for the first half probably the player of the season. He did massively tail off in the second half of the season and I think we said that a few times you can understand why he's dropped out of people's teams and being replaced when they've had better players and it did happen for us. I think we got out of him what we paid for him. I think we got him up. I think we need better players than Dymari Gray. I really do. I think where we finished is a byproduct of having too many players like that. Where they are the starters rather than the squad players. Because I just think when again, like we spoke about on the midfield, when you haven't got players to replace them and they stay in the team and they start to get worse and worse and worse, then you're looking for that little bit extra. Again, there was times when I just thought he needed to be taken out but couldn't be taken out and I suppose the form of a wobby maybe helped just take him out of the firing line. I think he's done probably, then his fee of course. His fee was nothing and the first part of the season he was excellent, don't get me wrong. I can just understand why he's drifted out of other people's teams and why we managed to get him for that kind of price. I think he's an excellent squad player. He's not someone I think we can rely on all the time or get that full season out of him. But for the price, for the price, he did excel I think for that price. But that doesn't necessarily mean he's good enough. But I think he's a good squad player. But again, he's going to have to go up again next season because we're probably likely not going to bring someone in who's better than them. He's not an international footballer, so he will have a clear summer. And again, it's about just getting the best out of him and just knowing when to take him out and bring him back in. I said first half of the season I thought he was excellent but not so good the second half. Yeah, I think he got an injury didn't he, a new castle and he just was never as sharp. I don't think when he came back. But then saying that he did produce some big moments in the last couple of games corner at Leicester for Hallgate to go, the good little dribble that led to the equaliser against Palace and then obviously it was this cross for Dominic Alvely. He said that won't stop Palace games so he did have big moments. But you're right, the consistency, the times. I'm not having someone who you could go right, he comes out and he comes in for now. And to freshen him up and to give him a little bit of maybe a little kick up the backside as well. Also if you don't play, if you haven't played too many full seasons, it can be tough. It can be tough, you know, you're being relied upon to have a good performance every single game. And of course it's not going to happen. And when you set the bar for yourself quite high, like I think he did, then you know, it can be difficult. But actually the winner against Arsenal was if it's waiting gold. And as I said, he's obviously got a lot of talent. It's about knitting it all together and finding a consistent level. Absolutely, absolutely. Onto that, let's move on to... ..a player who may well be leaving everything. If you believe everything that's in the press. It's just Richard Charleson who, again, double figures again for Richard Charleson this season. Come up big when he needed it at the end of the season. He said with a few weeks ago we had to keep us up and he was good to his word. And he really did carry the team. And I think he will be massively missed if he leaves everything. Because of... And now he is up and down. He sometimes winds me up the way he is. But he's still evidence tall as man. Out of everybody, he's really, you know, we want to do well for the club works hard. And it's got that bit of quality. But let's have a look at Richard Charleson's numbers. Play 30 games, 10 goals, 5 assists, averaging 2.4 shots per game. Created seven big chances which is more than anyone else. Missed six big chances which was more than anybody else. Could have had themselves 16 goals for the season. 28 starting out 30 games. Again, just luck on that. He scored 100% of his penalties, three penalties. Touches averaging 38.4 per game passing around 63% passing accuracy. Dribbles complete 49% of his dribbles. Precious 21 per games in the 92% half of that. Crossing 13%. Accuracy with his crossing. Which a lot of times you get in and just it does leave a lot of luck into those zones and stuff like that. So you are probably going to get that drop off. But again, if you've got Dominic Hall of the Loons in the middle so many fries off the crossing. There is it straight away just looking at it going well. That needs to be boosted by each of these players. But it's your lesson. He's a one and three striker. That's not to be sniffed at on those numbers there. I think obviously, I don't think he's a centre forward as such. But obviously there was games where he was the centre forward and done very well. I think if you're going to play him a centre forward you have to play a particular way we could know his play like that. I like him playing in the number 10 or just off the striker picking up the bits and then moving with the ball. I think you can have all the stats and numbers you want. But I think when you look at how hard he works or certainly towards the end of the season and how at times you just can't. It's not quantifiable that kind of what he does. But now how he can affect the game. I think we forget as well. He played two major tournaments last summer. He had a couple of bad injuries out in a month when Tarkovsky, funny enough, took him out. That was a bad injury. Those little things, you could see that. There was a time when obviously people have caught his petrol and so whatever. But I think he grew up a lot last season. I think he grew up hell of a lot knowing that. A lot of the responsibility was on his shoulders. There was nobody else coming. I think as a fan base we all are certainly raffaibonynts, I believe this. But he was this thing of like second half the season that's going to sort itself out. Doms coming back and all that. It never happened. Now Doms caught the big goal but it never really truly happened and it came to a point where it was like this is all on you now for Richard. And it really was all on his shoulders. And I think that helped them grow up a lot as a player. And all the things of the outside forces. What Saint commentators and things said about them and said about his so-called antics. And yet we watch him every game and we know he gets kicked everywhere in every single game. Everywhere. And yet there's an outside thing of he's the biggest cheat in the Premier League or he's the biggest dive. It's just nonsense. It's just nonsense. There was one at West Hamway that fell illiterally booted the ball in his face. And it's just get up and it's just like no it should actually be ascending off. So I think for me I think he's had a big season. He's had a really big season and of course you wanted to score goals. You mentioned there was chances he missed. What happens next? We don't know. We don't know. He feels like he's probably ready now for the next stage of his career where Everton are. And we'll have to wait and see. But for me he was a major part of Everton staying in the Premier League. Absolutely, yeah. And like I said before he'll be hugely missed when he goes. It'll be difficult to replace. He's got double figures every season since he's been an Everton player. So 55 Premier League or 55 goals he's got for a show. We've got it. We have got to replace that. And it's dead easy to dismiss that. It's dead easy to go oh yeah but he only got this. Look at the other numbers. The other numbers are appalling. They're absolutely appalling. It's those goals that have won his big points or have kept us in games or whatever. You go back to like the Leicester game and think about I know there was different opinions on that. Just grabbing that point. You know in the last minutes of a game just keeping it ticking over again. Yeah, it's a game around. We've got that ticking too with this. I'll have kept going and got the important goal. The Chelsea goal. There's been some huge moments for us this season. He really has tough responsibility. If he goes he'll be a big miss I think just for the whole of the club and for the fan base. Absolutely. Point no three with just one of the highest. Dominic Alford Lewin. The player who. We started the season with such high hopes. He'd had 20 odd goals the year before. Just flying. Obviously dropped the couch on his foot. Broker's toe. And then had to compensate for it. That's ultimately probably what done. Done his injury because you run slightly different when you're hobbling or whatever. But he'd started the season really well. 3 goals in three games. Haven't had started the season with seven points out of nine. And we lost him and he said he came back on the second of January and wasn't really fit Mr Penalty. Played a full 90 but the second half he just looked like he wasn't even on the pitch. He played at Norris the week later then was injured for the next game. And it was a bit like that wasn't it. And he only really looked himself. I think later on he was excellent. But he only really looked himself probably Brentford and Crystal Palace. And then Arsland the final game. Well he was left out wasn't he again. He was left out for towards the end of the season for a lot of games. Ronddon was coming on for the late part of the game when he was sitting on the bench. And it was almost that thing of like Frank Llanparty and you're not quite there. And I'm saving you for the games I really think are important. I don't know what it is. I said he came out towards the end of the season. Just after the season ended. And basically said he's mental health and stuff. And I don't know whether he may be at times didn't trust his own body. Didn't feel like you know that injury is it's not a it broke down for me at once. And he was on his way back and then he got it reacared. And obviously I don't know whether he just didn't truly believe in his own body. And there was times when he felt you know there was all these things of like oh he felt something or there was a tingle and all this kind of thing. Mentally. Mentally that you know you've your thinking if this goes again I'm out for another three months. That can be a lot to deal with especially with the position ever more in. And his own career as well you know a lot of speculation about his own career. And that can be and then that leads to frustration in the fan base and starting to question all the other things. We know this year became a big season for him in terms of his profile. He came off the back of a good season. He was part of the England Euro squad even though he didn't get more games which he probably should have or more time. And his profile is really high you know and doing the adverts and all the rest of it. Started to elevate him and then the frustration creeps in off the fan base. Where is he? We need you on the pitch you know on the pitch but you're doing something else. All those kind of things that are not always rational but as a football fan of course you're driven by passion. You're driven by you don't know what's going on day in and day out in people's lives. So massively frustrating season for him but ultimately when we needed him we got a big goal from him. The winning goal against Crystal Palace was absolutely huge but it's effectively he's lost the season of his career effectively. And that must be that must be huge frustration and personally for him in a well cup year as well. It's not till the end of the year but that must be hugely frustrating. Although watching England you'll probably just walk back in. I'll walk back in to that. Par for Harry Kane he haven't gone any on off the. I think luckily for him it is Qatar and it is November because he'll have the opportunity to because if it had been now he probably wouldn't have gone. Tami Aebram would have gone. But he's got he's going to have next season the start of the season to start well to prove his fit. And to give Gareth Salkit a different option that he don't really have which is his aerial ability. But yeah obviously a horrible season for him horrible season for us. We suffered massively. People can talk about. It wouldn't matter if we hadn't we'd have still struggled. But in the same breath we'll then tell you that Leeds would have been Samarow Patrick Bamford. They've had Patrick Bamford so it doesn't equate. You lose your chief goal scorer. You cost your games and everything would have won marginal games or got draws in games. If they would have had Dominic Alvalun a fit Dominic Alvalun that is. So it did affect it. And he is a big player for us whether people like it or not like what he was or not he's a big player for us. Let's have a look at his numbers anyway for the season. 17 games played in the Premier League he started 15 of them. Five goals, two assists. Average is 1.9 shots per game. Jules 145%. Big chance has missed that was three. He didn't miss a penalty of course against Brighton but scored another two. Dribbles is the funny one 18% of his dribbles he completes but he's not really he's not one for dribbling. Obviously 60% passing wins 50% of his aerial Jules which is quite high. After just 6.8 aerial Jules he gave me wins which puts him on the 95% which is really good. But this one of those was dead interest in his progressive carries with the ball. He's in the lowest you can be in the Premier League. It's like the lowest 1% of that at 0.7 because that's just knowledge game that's all. And that's why when you're trying to build a team and then you go from Dominic Hall of Loon to Diti Arlesen, the whole dynamic of the team will change. And for him you can't play the way you do when you're playing with Diti Arlesen in a team. So I can understand what Rafa Benitez was thinking about get wide and get crosses in for your fellow who's going to head them in. Franck Llanparg if Dominic Hall of Loon does remain at everything for this season, Franck Llanparg really has to look at that and think how can we get better service into him? Because we don't just want long straight balls that he flicks on however they can be important at times but we want to make sure that whether it's in the air. He got a lot of his goals under Carlo from crosses coming in and he went just swinging them in, he went across the six yard box as well. You know he scores 99% of his goals for Everton have been for him inside the box. So he got to get balls across to him and I think that again we touched on cross-naguracy before. That'll be a big thing especially if Don stays. Cos he is a key player isn't he? There's nobody really like him I don't think. No I don't think you've seen that in the self, sorry in the Crystal Palace game, the quality from him holding the ball, holding the ball. The amount of headers he won and then the drop downs and it helps you play higher up the pitch if you haven't got that creativity to go through the midfield which we certainly don't. And then he can be used and he's a very big athletic strong player. I suppose now it comes down to we know we're going to sell one of them. Sadly we just know that and at the moment as we record this all the talk of the Charleston but it has been all about Don and Carmel. And I suppose that's something we've got to figure out. We've got to figure that out cos we don't want a situation where mentally both of them have checked out. Cos a lot of people felt that was what was the only check out last season and the Charleston was the one. And it's almost like that slap in the face for a lot of people think well actually we don't like you anymore, we like the Charleston now and it's like that's how they come to change with it. I'm not going to cry over you cos I don't actually like you anymore. That's how we are football fans. Typically, especially men, typically come to terms with when players leave. I mean there is a narrative around that at the moment and I've seen this from a couple of different things. He doesn't actually, he doesn't want to stay. Well no, they're football fans. And especially if it's Charleston goals, he might be, you know. Heaven can't afford to sell both. You know, it doesn't matter what anyone says about money coming in. Us just looking at the basic numbers here proves you can't afford to sell them both. You can't lose them goals. Even Don there in what was obviously a poor season and an injury, a rabbit season, he was just over 1.3. Sorry, a goal every three games you're 5 and 17. If you're doing, you know, with the things. So, with the start, he had 15 startings, he scored 5 goals. That's 1 and 3 in the season when he was, you know, it didn't go for him. He's injured and stuff like that. So he's still very much an important player in Heaven. And what it might do is if he does stay in Heaven or Heaven and say, we're not selling him it, you're staying for this season. We'll look at it next summer. It might affect who they get in the wide area to replace it to Charleston. It may be someone who does cross the ball a little bit more, you know, to try and get the benefits out of him. Finally, on this, you know, Rafa Benita's signing, Salomon Rondon, who came in massively not fit, came in with the idea that I am adding, which was probably what we saw in the last six weeks of the season when he probably did his best work when he'd actually got himself fit. It was just to come on with 15 minutes left and be a nuisance. The problem was, he came in and then Tom got injured and we had to use him and we had to use him when he was unfit and then he just looked up all because he couldn't move. Not necessarily his fault but he just wasn't fit enough to cope with the Premier League. It wasn't mobile, wasn't it? It wasn't mobile and unfortunately that's, you know, it's condition coming back from, you know, China and stuff. His condition was just nowhere near the level and like you're saying, he was thrust into getting more and more playing time and even to the point where he was starting games with Charleston was, you know, playing more as a number 10 and stuff like that and you know, he just couldn't get to a level because he came in. So, you know, he needed a pre-season. He just was nowhere near that level of being, he was always playing catch up and, you know, his quality, you know, you could see, you could see in some games towards the end while his qualities are, you know, holding the ball of them and being strong and just giving something, a defence something else to worry about rather than affecting the game just being a nuisance. But, you know, again, one goal, it's a failure, isn't it? It's a massive failure. Massive failure for the, again, you know, and, yeah. Well, let's have a look at his numbers, the Premier League numbers these are of course. Played 20 games, he only started eight games forever. One goal, one assist, average is 1.1 shots per game. Jules won 34 per cent, which is poor. Big chances missed two. Things like passing 62 per cent. No interceptions per games in any average, which is poor. No.3 tackles per game, which is poor. But his aerial Jules, he's good, wins, you know, wins. Had you had to think where his pressure started? To be honest, his pressure is 19.5 man a game. On the 81st percentile. So you compare that with Dominic Calvert-Lun, who's on the 36th percentile. Pressure's the ball far more than done. But he does do that, he just can't do it fair. He does it in a manner. Obviously he's scored two goals against Borumwood as well in the FA Cup. But I don't think even on a free transfer, which we've got him on, I think it's ever going to be better. One goal from a back-up striker is shocking, really. And it is when you look at these numbers. And I know we were injury-ravaged for the season. And I know things went against us, and we were terrible at other times. You can't hide from any of that stuff, poor managerial decisions and all that. But these numbers, when you're looking back for things like goals, it's not difficult to understand why Evan struggled because there's one goal for your third-year striker. One goal, it's terrible. The striker should be getting eight and nine, really. For a club like Evan, who pay good wages as well, those strikers should be getting eight or nine. Your top two should be getting 20 and 15 or maybe 15 and 15 or whatever. He shouldn't be getting one. And we've gone right through there and in them attacks, we've got Wat Damari, Gregor, Fife, Anthony Gove and four. They're fireplace, Rondon one. I think you should expect, if you've got three strikers, I think you should be expecting 30 goals at least from the three. That's on the low side. That's purely the low side. That's what I'm saying, you should be expecting 30. That's not good. We know what we need to do. It's whether we can do it or not. That's the issue now. Obviously, you have to look at why we're not, the chances and all that stuff, why we're not making more goals and whatever. It's just not good enough. The entire team is not good enough. And that's why we are so dependent on with Charleston and Dominic Arvelin. In the last couple of years, what's the problem is, you can go where we're reliant on him, him, him and him and then him, him, him get sold. And then the next time you go and we're reliant on them too and it's like one of them is going to get sold. We're just getting further down and further down. And that only means one thing, by the way. That only means one thing in the end. It's inevitable in the end. If you replace them with equal or better quality, there's only one place you're going. And that's the task now for the club, to make sure that's a spinner. So the goals, we start getting goals into this club, whether it's through midfield or better plays up front or wide plays. If you do not get goals in your side, then you are going to struggle at the bottom end of the table. And that's ultimately the problem. Absolutely. There you go. That's a say, isn't it? Let us know what you think in the comments section below. And if we do end up selling the sales, and who would you like to see Evan bring in? And who was your player of the season? Let us know all in the comments. Give the video a thumbs up, subscribe if you haven't, and if you want more videos, join us on Patreon.
