 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton women's show, we are joined again by Keira Knox who's here to show us all their expertise, no pressure, no pressure. The last time we were here, there was a bit of a break wasn't it, so England went to play and we were all very excited about Jess Parks getting an opportunity for England and she didn't play a single minute in the two games. So obviously she did get called up to play against the world champions and we won that game 2-1 and we were all expecting her to at least make a debut coming on as a sub, maybe towards the end or against, was it Czech Republic or was it Czech Republic? And she didn't, but it was good that she got the call up. It was good she got the call up and the USA is a tough game and England obviously won that game at Wembley, it was a fantastic occasion and although the goal that was disliked for America by VAR was a little bit strange. But then you said they played against Czech Republic, drew 0-0 and she couldn't go off the bench and the two games that were just friendlies, I found that a little bit strange considering that there was a lot of hype about her and she did get called up. You would have thought they would have given her a little bit of a chance just to get 10 minutes under the belt. She showcased so much talent already in the season so far so you would have thought she maybe even if she just come on the last 10 minutes as a sub and got that chance but never came. No, but I suppose now that gives her a little bit of a taste doesn't it of what it's to be like to be in the England side. And to listen, England are the European champions, they just beat the world champions and we'll go into the next world cup thinking we've got a really good chance. So it is exciting for her that she's there and she's part of the squad. Yeah, I just hope she gets a debut soon because she really, really deserves it especially as you saw the goal again at Anfield. That just wraps up what she is about and what she can do. Let Man City just extend that loan another year, just give the girl a chance. We've had other people that have come in on loan and have loved it and wanted to stay like Jill Scott. She obviously paid for us for years and then come in from loan from Man City and wanted to stay and they wouldn't let her. No, she's too busy with a coffee shop now though isn't she? She's retired obviously now. Hopefully she gets an opportunity, but the women's team they came back last Sunday afternoon at home at Waltonall Park. You were there, they played Chelsea, obviously a very, very tough game. Chelsea are obviously the top side in the division. It looked like it was a close game wasn't it for most of the game. Obviously Chelsea took the lead, haven't got back into it. But in the end it was a 3-1 defeat with a very, very late goal to make a 3-1 as well. Yeah, especially the first half we played so well and we looked really strong and catching veggie. I might not be saying that right again. I'm sorry if I'm pronouncing it wrong because I'm really bad at that thing. Do you know the best way to find out what someone's name is? Just go over and ask them. It's what I did when Everton signed Luca Dean. I went over to him and said, I'll just say your name and he told me and that was it. Job done. I really need to. That's the best way. But she was incredible the whole entire game, the whole game. She was up and down the wing constantly, always creating chances and I just love watching her play. She was incredible. Gabby George did really well again. Now you told me last time that Gabby George was Everton's best player. Am I stupidly my ignorant and this is why you're here. I thought playing centre back, that's her position. But she's not playing centre back is she? No. She's playing left wing back at the moment or left back. She's playing all sorts of different positions at this point but she's such a versatile player and can play in different positions and does really well for the club doing that. I remember she was a centre back and then she got a really bad injury just when it looked like she was about to sort of based on the scene. I know a few of the other clubs out there were sniffing round her as well so that was disappointing. I think there's been about three different managers since she got the injury so I can understand maybe why she's found herself in a different position. But it shows how good the player is. You said it last time and it shows how good the player is. She can fill in another role and she's doing well there. She is doing really well and obviously to see her comeback from that injury was incredible because she was out for like over a year I think. She's come back so much stronger now and obviously she got called up for the English squad a few times not for the orals unfortunately but she has been called up and she's improving every game and it's really good to see. The Everton goal was an own goal and that's the second game in a row that Everton has benefitted from an own goal. Obviously Tony Duggan is going to be out for the rest of the season so she's pregnant. That's a fair excuse. Is that a little problem do you think that Everton might have scoring goals because we scored three at Amfield and that was brilliant but it was an own goal against Leicester. It was an own goal against Chelsea. Do you think that might be a little issue that might need to be addressed? Yeah because what we were lacking last season was Pace up front like Tony Duggan she's incredible. She's such an incredible player but she didn't have that pace and we needed Wingers with that pace to help her. And now we've got that and now she's out for the season. Now we've got Catrice Noyesh as well who's currently out with an injury. I don't know how long she is going to be out for. But Elise Stenovic I think coming last week and she was very good. She was very very good but it is that pace we are lacking up front now. Because I think Benison who obviously scored at Amfield she's a bit more of a technical player she is than under tennis isn't she? And you know I think we've seen in any game in any level of football whatever pace is always the key it can always be the key to the game. But Chelsea is such a strong side aren't they? They have got so many really good players obviously Sam Cair who is their major striker. They are such a difficult team to beat. This is where Everton has struggled I think in the last couple of years isn't it? I know they tried really hard last season by bringing a lot of people in but closing that gap to Arsenal and Chelsea again very much like any Everton side. This seems to be just a little bit of a bridge too far trying to compete with those teams. We've got to realise what level we are on and we've got to realise that we were very close to relegation last season and people have got to realise that it's going to take time for us like the men's. I know but it's going to take time just like the men's team to build on that and improve and obviously we can't be straight away competing with the top teams. We can't be expecting to beat them constantly. Do you think that's more difficult because the league isn't, it's like 12 teams isn't it? It feels like to me it feels like almost every week when you look at the fixtures they're playing like a really tough side. It's just because of the there's less teams in there. It just feels like you're playing in Arsenal or Chelsea or Manchester United have improved loads, Man City are a good team. Villar who haven't played this weekend will speak about month, Dave improved. It just feels like every week is a really tough game. It is but we've got to realise that we do have quality players and we do have that quality in our side to beat these bigger teams. People have got to realise that we can do it and we can show that ability that we have. I think last season it was so, I don't know, you're right because last season they tried to jump about 12 steps at once buying all those players in and then Willy Cakes was, I don't know if they were all Willy Cakes players or wherever but you seem to have just players all over the place and then I think you went through a couple more managers during the season. This season it seems a lot more calm. There's less expectation but I think that's better. But you were at the game and obviously it was a sell out at Walton All Park. People are really excited aren't they now? What was it like down there? Oh my God it was incredible. There was so much noise and such. It was the best atmosphere I think I've seen at Walton All Park and Chelsea brought so many fans. Yeah there was loads and they were dead loud and they'd start singing and a lot of the fumings and they'd start singing and it was so good. I mean this is something that Ian Wright had mentioned because he loves the women's game. He's such a champion for the women's game. I remember him joining the Euros when the fan was on and he was talking about the game needed more money put into it and things like the fixtures needed thought. One of the things he actually said was and it was in reference to Walton All Park he said they needed to start having a way in so that the away fans knew where to go. I've noticed this that more and more fans are travelling and I know the women's supporter group go and I know Peter Mac and people like that go travel all over and they went against the Euros like you self to support the Swedish girls. Do you think that's something that maybe needs to be the next place we go with it because Evan and obviously one of only a couple of teams have got their own grounds. Would you like to see it away in just so that not in terms of like anyone is in danger but just so that the away fans know where they are, the home fans know where they are and you can build that atmosphere? I think our way in would be good because you can obviously have that rivalry between the fans but I also like having it all mixed in because you can talk to the other fans and you can discuss what they think about their team, what you think about your team. I kind of like that sort of atmosphere. That's nice. That's a very grown up way of thinking about it. No, no, that's a really good point. Football is one of the only sports at any level where you do keep the home and the away fans together. If you watch American sports, they don't tend to do that and I noticed that for the Wembley game there's obviously US fans all over the place as well and there is that togetherness. I don't know how long that will last because as the game grows those rivalries will get bigger and people will want their own ends. But one thing I do think is I do think it helps the atmosphere if you've got fans in their own area so they can congregate and do you know what I mean? They can start singing and everything but it was disappointing but Evan will move on and obviously this weekend Evan are away to Villa who started the season really well and they've brought some new players in and they've got some ex-Evan players in their team as well. So Simone Miguel, Kenzie Daly and of course our former club captain Daniel Turner went to Aston Villa which is quite a big disappointment to be fair because Simone Miguel had been there for absolutely years and she was a really good player for us. But she got an injury didn't she in the Oro so she's not available. She'd waited years to play in the Oro for Northern Ireland. I think it was the first game she got a really serious injury so she won't be available and that's really really sad but as you mentioned Evan losing a player like that and obviously we'll face it this weekend. That's sad isn't it? Yeah it really is but she was a very good player for us and I'm sure she's going to do really well for Villa but again we have got now quality players at the back that can come up against Villa and I'm sure we'll be okay. Yeah and it's a difficult game they've invested really well and they've obviously got Alicia Lehman as well who was on loan at Evan from Westbam, she's there as well so I think that's like four different players. Evan I've always had this thing Evan you look at every team and you look at the team, the Oro team, the England team, they've got players who have played for Evan at various, I know there's not loads of teams but Evan just seemed to be this team where players could come up against each other. Players go through so not always to the top but at some stage in the career they've been at Evan and unfortunately had to move on. Yeah we have had some amazing players like Alex Greenwood, Lucy Bronze, Nikita Parris, they've all come through the academy and played for us at different stages and they've done so well obviously with the Lionesses and it is really good to see as we have developed those players we can develop more and we are going to get more quality out of our players I think. Yeah I think Evan and I've got a really good, I've always had a really good youth system and give the opportunity to girls and young women to get involved but this is going to be a tough game as well isn't it? Yeah it really is. They've got a really good striker as well, you've just signed from America Tom, I'm failing on her name come on. Rachel Dailey. There you go, that's why you're here, that's why I've just set you up for that. I think it was a Houston wasn't she? She looks like a really top talent. Yeah to be honest I'm going to put it out that I am really worried to come up against her because she seems to have scored in every game and she's so strong up front and we have got a good defence but she is just an incredible player. Do you think Villa have almost tried to copy in a way what we did last season because obviously that last season I think they were in and around with Evan and were sort of a little bit higher. I think in fact towards the end of the season I think they were jostling for places but this summer they seem to have made a lot of investment. Do you think they are sensing maybe that one of those European places is available? Yeah I think they are because obviously last season as you said we were fighting relegation with them so obviously for them to take some of our players and then get new players in we are quite strong competition with them. So they have in a way followed what we've done and got new players in and like a whole new system. It's going to be a tough game and I think they've already beaten Man City this season. I think they've finished 4-3 something like that. They've got a lot of goals in them. Evan come up against a lot of their former players as well. So have you got a prediction for this one? I'm going to say 2-2. That's always my go-to when I think we are going to get beat as well. That would be a tough game but I think they've done alright this season. I think the team we were top have got 9 points, 7 points, 6 points so they are doing fine. Let's hope they get 3 points. And then what's the next home game after this? Aston Villa. Is that the next home game as well? It's Wednesday the 26th of October in the continental cup. So it's like the league cup isn't it? And obviously the women's game will be getting played I imagine whilst the men's will cups on isn't it? So that's a good opportunity isn't it? For people who may be missing football to go and go down and watch it if they want to watch everything in football. And obviously the reason I mention that as well because we will try and talk before that. The reason I mention that is because the gaming in Chelsea was sold out wasn't it? So if people do want to go, don't think you can just rock up a Walton or Park and get in. And hopefully I hope during the World Cup as well there might be an opportunity for Evans to play Goodson as well. So that would be good, hopefully get more people into the ground and see this new fresh exciting Everton women's team.
