 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is my player ratings for Everton. One Aston Villa, one very disappointing result tonight for the Blues. But seeing that though, even more disappointing for Aston Villa who probably thought this was their big chance to get those points to help them maybe stay up. Show's how bad they are. Jordan Pickford, I've given him a six. Apart from some uncomfortable positions he sometimes put our players in, I thought he was steady enough. Don't know if he could have done anything for the goal. But yeah, just sometimes his decision making, catching players out can just be something doesn't it? I mean that's generally Jordan Pickford isn't it? Sheamus Coleman, I've given Sheamus Coleman a six. I thought he was steady enough. Never got forward enough for me and when he did, it wasn't great in the final third, but steady enough in defence. A difficult task would grill it up against Grealish. He was clearly their best player. Yeah, so I've given him a six. On the other side, Lucadine, I thought Lucadine played well tonight. He played well probably. I'm not saying he was our best player, but he looks like our best player. If that makes sense, he just looks like he's head and shoulders better than everybody else. Always seems to have a bit of time. Runs with the ball well and looked dangerous. And it didn't work for the first like 15 minutes. Him and Bernard connected really well and then it just suddenly stopped. I don't know whether it was when Mason Hallgate went off or what, but it just suddenly stopped. So I'm going to give Lucadine a seven. I thought he played really well tonight. I'll have to make sure we don't lose him in the close season. The centre defenders, I've given, this Mason Hallgate wasn't on the pitch long enough, but while he was, I thought he did okay, so I've given him a six. Michael Keegan, I've given a six as well. I thought he was pretty okay for most of the game. Did well in the air. They had a little bit of a physical battle, but I thought he was okay, so I've given him a six. Into the centre of the field. Tom Davis, I don't know what. He was quiet tonight. And that's why I've given him a six. He just did his job. He didn't make any mistakes. He didn't put anyone in any kind of trouble. He didn't get us going really attack him. I suppose that was his job tonight. I think he did okay, so I've given him a six. Yes, we want our centre of the fielders to be doing more. We look weak in there, but I thought just for doing the job he did, I'll give him a six. Andre Gomez, I've given him a five. I thought he was awful first half. Absolutely awful. Kept on getting caught on the ball. He just seemed to be playing his own pace. Second half, I thought he got a little bit better, and of course he got the assist for the goal, and before that he put a really good ball in for Dominic Alvin Lewis. So we got better in the second half, and that's why I have given him a five. To the Wings, Alex O'Obe. Again, I had a couple of moments that one way he turned the left back inside out and played a great ball in, and Dominic Alvin again didn't really go for it. But you see that, and you want more of that, and he doesn't do it. He gets the ball and he slows the game down. I can't understand that. This is a lad who looks like he's got pace. He looks like he's got athleticism. He doesn't seem to use it. He just wants to slow the game down when he gets the ball, and I can't understand that, because he seems like he's a player who should be doing everything else, should be moving the ball quickly, should be trying to beat the foreback inside and out, and he doesn't do it, and it's so infuriating. So I've given him a five. Bernard on the other side, as I said before, he started the game really well, and looked like he was coming in off the left, and he was going central, and he and Lucadim were working really well together, and then he stopped, and then he started giving the ball away cheaply, and he started just doing the wrong thing, and in the end he just peated out the game and went off. So he's got a five as well. It's just not good enough to use players, and I think all four of our centre midfielders, and you can add Guilfee Siggins to that. They're all the same kind of player. They're all players you want to get on the ball, but don't want to take chances. They're players you just want to move it on without actually doing anything to do anything dangerous, and none of them break up the play either. So there are essentially five players who all do the same job, and that's why our midfields crap. Up front, Rich Arleson, four, and Dominic Arlen, four, they were both awful. Let's be honest, they were both awful. Rich Arleson had a bit of a soul con. Eilion again. Eilion got himself into some nice positions. Dominic Arlen, Eilion got a chance within 45 seconds, but they're not in the game enough, and I know that we're not making chances for them, but you've got to go and try and affect the game if that's the case. You've got to take it upon yourself. Don did have a couple of opportunities. You had won the second half, but they're not doing enough, and that's on them now. They've seen that our midfields crap, so go and do something about it, so I've given them both fours. Subs. Moise Keane, come on, didn't do anything, really of anything. He had a one shot, but he doesn't put himself about enough for me as well. I don't know, this seems to be a common thread with our forwards. So I've given him a five. I've given him a five again. Maybe his positional play was a little bit better than what we'd seen, because Gomez started pushing forward when he came on, but again he didn't really affect the game. Anthony Gordon, I've given him a six. Tried to do things, got a forearm in the face for trying to take on their players on. Always trying, always trying to make an impact, but didn't necessarily happen for him, so I've given him a six. Theo Wolcott, I've given him a seven. Did make something happen, come on the pitch and score the goal. What I like about Theo, and I think this is what the other wingers don't do is, Theo tries to get in the box, and whether you think he's good enough or not, he's the only winger who does it. He's the only winger that, if a ball comes in from the other side, he's in there, and whether you like him or not, he's doing that and the other wingers aren't, and he's got a goal tonight, and fair play to him. So I've given him a seven, and the other sub, obviously, to add a band three came on really early, and you know what, I've given him an eight, because I thought he'd come on, and the first thing they tried to do was press him, they were like, young lad, look at him, looks about 12, I know he's six foot nine, but he looks about 12, and the first thing they did was come on and try to put pressure on him, and it didn't work because the lad, he's not scared on the ball at all, and he gave a couple of silly free kicks where I know that, he's a young lad, but on the ball he looks really intelligent, size wise, looks like he can compete with anybody. I mean, you're not exactly waiting for him to fill out, are you? And he looks like he's got a brain, and he looks like he's not scared of a pass, and looks like he's got all the potential in the world to become a top talent, and for once, Everton has jumped in there, and it looks like they've bought a really good talent, and if we keep buying players like that, maybe we can get the talent to take us forward, so I thought he was excellent, and really good home debut, and I'd have no problem starting against Sheffield United, I really wouldn't, cos I think he needs these games, and he'll make mistakes, and he'll follow whatever he'll have to learn from it, but he's brave on the ball, and he knows how to defend, I think as well, the two things you want from centre backs nowadays, modern centre backs, so I'm giving them an eight, not an eight.
