 Welcome to Toffy TV, this is the maths reaction. Everton won, full-on won tonight. A go do some full-on won on penalties. Everton are out of the Carabao Cup. Please excuse me, I'm still full of cold. I've just, I look shock on my eyes. I'm stinging. Just back from the maths, I don't really know where to start. Excuse me, don't really know where to start I thought. Looking like we didn't have an idea what we were doing or we were attacking. It was just all hope rather than what we've been doing of late. Full of my poor as well, let's not make any bones about it. But I've come to expect a little bit more from Everton over the last games. Over for a good proportion now of the games. We've been so much better but tonight we just seem flat. The manager got it wrong for me tonight, excuse me, in playing Jara Brantwight at left back. I just don't understand what that is. If he feels like he has to play Michael Gain, then play Brantwight in the three with him. We played at a villa in round three and it was fine. And I think he could have played that tonight. He played on Saturday in the three. And then we could have had Patterson on one side as a wing back. We could have had Dwight McNeill on the left side as a wing back. We could have had the three lads in midfield and we could have had Jack Harrison off the top. I think he would have given us a little bit more width. Brantwight was, even though he was fine, he was asking him to get forward and do stuff that is alien to him. And I just think the shape of the team is just wrong from it. I just don't think we couldn't get any kind of momentum with it and it just felt very flat. So Fulham started the better side with the ball but again now Jara went and knocked the ball around and it was good to see Alex Alwobi being Alex Alwobi for someone else. That was what was an interesting takeaway. Fulham fans can sing all the songs they want about him. But good luck. Clays for you now. But we were, Dom looked isolated. I think James Garner was trying to be the one that was pushed on to Dom but he's just not had the light of the core. And everything will have an issue with this because the core, you know, the rumours are. I was waiting for Sean to confirm it but he could be missing for about a month. Hopefully he's back quicker than that but that is quite a few games. And we've got some tough games in that and we saw last season when we lost them. The manager didn't really know how to replace him. And I don't think James Garner there works. I think Jack Harrison's had a little go there but Duke's was further back. Harrison played there and he was okay but he wasn't really there tonight. We just couldn't, like you say, we didn't really break them down. We had a couple of moments where we nicked the ball off them because the Calvin Bassie is very, very poor as a centre back and we should have been all over him. And there was a couple of occasions that him or Arad Dabaio gave us the ball and we just couldn't capitalise on it with poor execution. Dwight McNeill flashed one over when he should have squared it around Anna. We had a Jared Branthway header at the far post which he just, he should have gone back across the keeper. He went near post and Lenno had a comfortable save. Full on got some bodies in the way of a couple of shots on our set pieces. We mixed up Tarkovsky. He's the best header of the ball. He's the one we normally aim for in a few times. We went for Michael Keane and it just didn't work. And then we go and can see the goal which was calamitous as it was. It couldn't, Fulham had a good little spell for two or three minutes. Either by the referee he was a joke all night. What an awful referee he was by the way. He gave Fulham a free kick on the edge of the box for nothing and that gave them the opportunities to have the first shot 30 odd minutes in. William went under the wall. It was a tame effort to say the least they went wild. And then a minute later we give the ball and Tarkovsky's got to do better, allows the slaker to get older when he should have been first to it. The ball switched out to come to Robertson. He fired it across and it hit Michael Keane and gone in the net. And we're behind and they won up without even having a shot on target. We put a little bit of pressure on us. We come to halftime, but we went in behind and it was, can we raise it for that second half? We came out for the second half, the same, the same 11 and you hope that there'll be a bit more intensity because the players, I can't really. I could sit here and moan about them not putting the effort in, but I don't think that's true. So I'm not going to, but they did look off it. They just looked tired. Everyone of them looked naked. Dwight McNeill and Jack Harrison looked like they were running in sand. Everything looked an effort for them and it hasn't been like that. They've been outstanding of late and Don just wasn't in the game. And the second half, not really much changed. We huffed and puffed a bit. We put a little bit of spell of pressure, got the crowd involved, the crowd were trying to do the team up. We had a couple of moments off corners where it looked like something might happen. And then the manager decided to make a change and he put better on and Jack Harrison faced the shot wide. We had a couple of moments where we got round and back some great balls into the box, but we didn't react quick enough. Patterson got in and threw one across which better warm-ups got on the end of. And we were pushing and pushing, but it wasn't intense pressure. Full on offered nothing. They were just hanging on for dear life. The goalkeeper was wasting time for him the second minute. The referee should have dealt with it early on and he didn't. He should have been booked. But everything did get an equaliser with eight minutes left. Ball into the box. It broke down. Jumer had done well, got it across. It broke. I think it was Ghana who hit it into the ground and it deflected up and better followed it in and added it right into the corner to give us an equaliser. And shankled us in wild. We then put more pressure on him and Dan Jumer, who'd come on as a shot, flashed a volley wide. I thought he was waiting for the net to ripple to be honest, as he hit it. Lenn O was rooted, but unfortunately it dropped wide. And then Fulham kind of woke up in the seven minute injury time and actually looked like he wanted to take part in the game. Cos for most of it, they're just the sign of the friend. And they couldn't want it. If truth be told in that injury time, they had two or three moments where you kind of held your breath. We had a great block. Beto then put a big tackle in the box to block. I think it might have been Robinson. Well called over read one of them. Key moments and a couple of days they got in there and a back in the ball come across the area. Patterson got his head to one, which was a key moment. And now penalties were looming. And then Everton had one fine opportunity with a free kick to throw it in the box and we wasted it. It went in and Fulham smuggled it clear. And that was it. That was the moment we had to get right. It's gone to penalties. It's a lottery. We get ourselves into a great position for Amadou O'nana to win it for us. We'd scored four out of four. Jordan Pickford had made a save and called over read O'nana. Walking down has got the opportunity to put his laces through the ball, smash Everton into the semi-finals. And he does a stupid run up and side footed so slowly into Leno's hands. And at that moment, I think most Evertonians thought. Shit. That's it. And, you know, it ends up full on scoring. I think Jordan Pickford should have shaved at least one of the ones that it is on that went through. The Drisha Ghanagay misses his penalty a couple later and Fulham win it through Aradabaio and there in the semi-final and we have to just take the medicine. It's frustrating. It's upsetting. I'm more gutted for the kids. I'm more gutted for Zach than me to be honest. It is what I've seen this a million times with Everton. But the players just look dead on the feet. And this is the problem is that with the squad, we've got the size of the squad. The minute we have two or three injuries, you see that we haven't got the extra quality. And that's where we are, you know, the core I have for a while, young, calm on both mission, Michelinco mission. We just haven't simply haven't got the body. We've got nothing in the field to replace people with. So we're going after. I don't know if there's any room in the budget to bring in two loans next in January next month. But they're going to have to, in my opinion. And the Drisha Ghanagay is going through the African couple nations as well. So we're going to be even lighter in there. It's an issue. But we didn't lose the game. Yes, we've lost on penalties. We didn't lose the game through the game and that's good. We kept going and that's another goal for Beto. So that's the positive we can take out of it. It's frustrating. It's disappointing and it was a poor display. It really was, but they just look knackered on. And when you've got such a small squad, they've done brilliantly over the last four games before tonight to win them and put us in a better position in the league. And we go to spares at the weekend and that's going to be a tough one. It really is with the injuries we've got with the plays looking exhausted. That is going to be really difficult. But that's for another day. Mae yma'r dyma'ch, excuse me, I'm going to give it too better because he was the one who made a big difference. Paterson did well to be fair, but I'm going to give it too better. Let me know what you think in the comments section below. Give the video a thumbs up. Subscribe if you haven't. See you later.
