 Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the Match Preview Huddersfield Town versus Everton in the Carabao Cup on John by Kane and Dan, they are regulars on hands tours, you know, they know what they're talking about, Dan sells stickers, so that makes it even better, didn't bring any in though, didn't bring any stickers in, got to it about that, nice one mate, big parcel, the last you've seen mate. I'm not used to get away games in the Carabao Cup this early, I know we had one a couple of years ago, and actually we had them last season, but because it was on telly it didn't really feel... Oh, I was gutted, I missed them. No, Fleetwood would have been a boss, wouldn't it? Fleetwood would have been a boss, wouldn't it? I was over that because I loved ticking off new grounds, and that was that one that we made before. Fleetwood would have been a really good one for us. No, what it is, it's not that you love ticking off new grounds, you love leaving stickers all over new grounds, there's a difference. I don't know what you're talking about. No, no, no, no. I'm innocent. Yeah, it seems like an orchard won this on paper, just because we used to, well, put us through it in the Premier League a couple of seasons ago, and it just seems like, it just feels like it could have been done with a nice league one team, and I could have some path with full outs, and they're always the best games, but it's going to be a little tricky one this, because we know he'll probably mix the team up a little bit, he'll bring in a few from outside, and that just makes it a little bit tricky, especially with fans there. They've obviously limited our allocation, which is mad, which is mad, and they're trying to get as many of their fans in and stuff, so it will be a tricky one this one, I think. Yeah, maybe, but on paper, we really should be beating them, no matter who plays on our squad. Yeah, it's not strong enough to beat them, I think. Yeah, the thing is, players coming in, likes a good ban on, Godfrew, the fingers crossed. Hopefully, yeah. The fingers crossed, they'll be back. Players coming in with a point of proof trying to get them to the team now, because there weren't many changes from Southampton's leads. No, no. You want to be getting into the south of Saudi against Brighton, so let's hope that these players come in with a point of proof and we get something going, get a little bit of a cut run going this season. I'd like to see Anton Gordon get a minute, I wouldn't mind him starting to be honest, I think obviously he played at that level in the second half of a season, and I think he needs game time, he needs, if he's not, whether he's going to go out on loan. Yeah, but I'd like him to start because I think he's got a lot of potential there, I think he needs minutes to either show he's good enough to stay with us for the season, or whether he's going to go out on loan or not. Yeah, it's a difficult one, isn't it? Because there will be players playing their first games this season in this game. John Joe will probably play, I'd write back. Probably, he might get minutes as well. Yeah, you might have a different partnership at the centre back, then you've got the likes of Tom Davis, Delth, Gabbaman, you've got the likes of Anthony Gordon, Tarnton didn't start sadly, so we might come in, Moise Keane. So there are plays you can definitely come in for this game, but if you get too many of them and it's their first game of the season, and you're playing against Huddersfield, you might keep a set. See, I think it would be interesting what Huddersfield do. See, they've set it up as like, oh, we want to win this, we want to fall out and all that. And I wonder whether they'll do that when they pick their side, whether they'll go strong, will they seize a big opportunity, or will they manage to go, no, we're going to make 11 changes as well. So don't get me wrong, that shouldn't make any difference. It's always a tricky one this first one because you know you're going to get five or six plays, you haven't played a game so far this season. And they all should be chomping at the bit, just that it doesn't always work out like that. See, I have that mentality for you because we've been here so many times where, I've had an example when we went to Lincoln the other year and won down, and then it was two, two, yeah. So it's just like the rollercoaster, the kind of back up I think for us, the fleet won last year too, you know, we went a day, but so let's just hope we get a comfortable game and just win three or four and help please. Do you know what I mean? No, it is about, it's about the start I was thinking these games, getting off to a good start, just keeping the, you know, we went to about the one couple of years ago, we won them down in the first minute, you know, and that's a full house, and that's what they're trying to create. I think it's about the mentality going there, keeping them quiet for 15 minutes, getting in front, quieting them down again, and then just, and then starting to play your own football. So when you're on the back foot, if you start poorly, and you have got plays, you're trying to force the way he's in the squad, it's always, I hate these away games, I always do, it doesn't matter who did it again. But it's because at the time of the year, it always feels like an afterthought, like it almost feels like for fans, everyone's focusing on the bright game, but you've got to think about this game. It's very important for us to get on a cut run. I've been desperate all my life to see Everton win a trophy, so this is a massive game for me, and I was the second round of the Carrival Cup, my team a bit more time for people, and not bothered. I just want to see Everton win a trophy rather than finish sixth or seventh in the league for me. This is a massive game for me because Everton, start off the game like we've done the past few games with Southampton and Leeds, get a shot on goal straight away, get a corner. You've got the opposition straight away on the back foot then, haven't you? So that's what we need to do, just start the game bright, get a photo of the ball and then hopefully make a goal, and then if we get the first goal in the game, I think we'll just run away with it. Dan's mentioned at the goal, is there anyone that you'd really want to see that we haven't seen so far? Gwbamwm. Gwbamwm, for me, yes, because in pre-season it's really good to watch the bit of the Blackburn game, and you took us all well, and that you can carry the ball up really well for us, and I know it's only pre-season, we haven't really had a true reflection of me yet. So it'd be good for him to maybe get a good 55-60 minutes under a spell, so we're going to play him for the full 90, but just to build his fit. If he's fit, then I want to see him start. I want to see him start competing, and I know a lot of people are like, you know, why hasn't he had more games? Well, obviously he's been in isolation, he don't want to risk him, and why should he risk him? You know, we've waited two years for him, I'm prepared to wait a little bit extra for him. If he's on the bench, starting to feel on the bench regularly, then that's good, that means he's ready to go, but I've got no problem with the manager not using him. But this is a really good opportunity for him to get a game under his belt, so because you want to get that tag as well of everyone, like, will we ever see this player by a bright injury? This is a lad who's had two of the worst injuries you can have in football consecutively, so I really want to see him play and just dominate a game off of him, and everyone go, yeah, that's the lad we bought. He's perfect, so he's probably a perfect compositional for him to do that, because you'd like to think that he would be able to dominate him, he'd feel the size and the speed that he's got. And he did look good in pre-season, like the games, the opportunities he's got, and it was softly, softly, but he was in, you know, the conditions were really harsh in terms of America, you know, how hot and humid it was, he came through that, he looked. Even a Finch fan, I'm on a black cast. Yeah, yeah, he looked. It was really, yeah, exactly, and I know it's not the same level, but you've got to introduce him at some point, and I'd rather see him start a game against Huddersfield in the League Cup where they may, they may change it round as well to start in the Premier League where you know it's going to be 100 miles an hour. It's always going to be difficult to get him into it, but like you're saying, they haven't, and I've got to, you know, we have treated in the last few years like it's a very important competition, and we have to do the same. We know the big clubs once they get going through the, if they get through the early stages, once they get to the latter stages, the squad are so, I mean, when you look at the Chelsea squad and when you look at the Man City squad, it's frightening that this is their fourth choice tournament, and yeah, if they get to a final, they can still, a semi-final, they can put out frightening teams. We've seen that with Man United last year. The City have won this cup how many times in a row. It's ridiculous now, it's four or five times now, isn't it? What I'd say to that is too, we had City in the FA Cup last year, behind closed doors, full crowd, the goodness in there, you don't know what happens. Yeah, but it's the other thing though, isn't it? You've got to get through to those rounds, and then maybe you might avoid them, and if everything could just get to a final, and I know it's a stupid thing to say when we're playing the first nine, but that's why you've got to get through these games. Personally, I wouldn't shop and change too much, because it's still the start of the season. Players are reasonably fit. So, let's just get some game time in them players too. Honestly, I know we've had a toe injury, but if you can't play too much of it, then that's still the problem. I think Richard is going to play, but I think he'd normally play in these games, it would just be down to what the manager thinks in terms of his reserves. You look tired towards the end of the game on Saturday, and obviously he's had a very busy summer. You might look to give him the game off, but you're right, people like Grey. Townsend. I played them. I really would. There's no reason not to play them. Just get the game one by our town and then take them off if you need to be. But then someone like Arlen maybe could sit out this game, and that's when you could bring in. So, only three or four changes. Seamus won't play, but Dean might play. The centre backs, we've got enough quality to centre them. Beg of it will be a goal too. Beg of it will be a goal, so there's enough of a mix. Then you might go, we'll have Lewis Dobbins on the bench then. And if we can get on ourselves a good lead, then you bring him on in it. I wouldn't shop and change too much. I wouldn't make loads of changes, but I think he's got the option if he wants to. And then you can bring a sub on that maybe you wouldn't have brought on if you can get yourself on a decent lead. It's about mentality. We've got the right manager for these kind of games. It's whether we do it or not, and hopefully we will. Take it as another game. That's all we can do now. That's it, and hopefully we get through. Good opportunities to get through to the next round. Hopefully we do. And hopefully we get to see the likes of Gabbaman, maybe an Anthony Gordon. And get through to the next round. That's all we can ask for, so let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one. Who would you like to see starting for the Blues, and do you expect us to get through to that next round? Put it this way, don't get knocked out before some teams are on it. Oh yeah, oh my god. Don't do that. Arsenal, Mike Dahl. Oh Arsenal are in it for the first time at this date for 25 years. It's a tough game as well. You just want to see some knockdown on Arsenal fan theory. I just want to see us win. I've got to leave a monkey bag. There you go. Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Don't forget, give this video a like. Subscribe if you haven't already.
