 Welcome to Toffy TV, here's the Match Preview, Chelsea vs Everton, it's time for Bridge Thursday night. Woo-wee! I can't wait for this one. Easy game this one. Ooh! Ooh! Existence is pain. Erm, yeah. It's not the game you want, when you've just been beaten by Crystal Palace away, it's not the game. Yeah, you're right, you don't want this kind of game any time, and the next season maybe we won't have to play these kind of games, maybe we won't. If we carry on the way we're going. Hello! Welcome to West London, it's Guilbia! Oh, don't. Don't evens. We've lost the air as well this year. Oh my God. Stop it. You had a great run in London, haven't you? And now we just bend over. Remember when we used to win away games? Remember when we won 12 that time around the seasons? And everyone's still moaned at the moment it is. We've had terrible a football, and we've still won 12 away games. Now, we've had terrible a football, we don't win any. We won one. To be fair, man. It's quite easy. 26 games without defeat, Chelsea at home, so we have it. 26 games, having nothing beaten for at Stanford Bridge. Yeah. Oh, hello, 27th game! This is quite apt for the 27 for 27, isn't it, this game? I'll be honest, this is going to be the most defeatist match preview I think we ever did. I think it really is. You know that I'm normally quite... Yeah, you get the stats out. The only thing I'd say is, Chelsea do look a little bit wobbly at the moment. You've got to be by Westam last week. They were fortunate to beat Leeds at the weekend. You can see the five goals in those two games. You can see the three goals in the Champions League and in the group. So they do look... Let some goals in for fun. That's not necessarily going to help us, though, because we don't score goals. Again, we said, lots of times, if we had Gray, the Charleston, Dominic Alvertley. Then, yeah, like, messy. Yeah. I was just going to say, if we had those three, if they had those three, cost the cat, he'll be bigger than that. No, if you had those three as a front three, then you'd feel we've got a chance of getting at them. The problem is, as well as getting at them, you've got to stop them, you know, team over there. He's had a couple of goals. A couple of games, I'd say, rymlu yw'r cacw, not score, then? There isn't score for a while. There's no score for a while. He's passed now. Interesting. So there's rontach in time with, and vener, and mounts, and habits, and, you know, everybody else. Barclay. Barclay, but that's all many more. So it's tough, listen. It's always a massively difficult game to else here, like, say it mean, you know, the last 15, 20 years it's been a horrible fix for everything. So, you know, we've had the opportunity over the last 10 years to win there a couple of times, and we blew it, you know, most notably the Ffunish Moriaethau yn yng Nghyrry time, and for some reason it was eight minutes off his time. Terry was 46 yards offside, and he scored. That was the one where you thought it could be. We had a couple of nil-nils where we might have nicked it. But I remember us going there last season, we hadn't lost a way since November, and it was like March or April or something, and he spat on us. He was just four nil, and it was easy. Belly's were tickled that night. And we were in a good run of form at that time. You know, we were doing well the other way of playing, so we've always found it difficult. And like, I'm always, like, you know, I am always confident and thinking, well, you know, if we get this right, we get this right. I don't see any way out. This isn't another defeat. I really don't. I just think we're all over the place. Because I think yesterday, on, you know, the little thing popped up this time last year, you were a goodness in park when we played them, when we beat them. On the 7th last week, yeah. No, it was yesterday, wasn't it? Yeah, on the 7th of December. 7th of December. 7th of December. That's where you're at. Maybe, I don't know. Probably. I've lost track of time. Oh, last year, sorry, I've been dunking, sorry. That was three years ago. No, no, last year. When we beat them last year, sorry, yeah, we had that good run then, that's a good run. Yeah, yeah. We beat less than an awful, didn't we? Yeah, and Chelsea. No, I'm struggling, I'm really struggling. Because imagine we go there and shift back, which we will, and try and play them on the count of the tack. 90% possession. I thought you were going to say 19-0 then. It probably won't be. Honestly. It probably won't be. Because, no. Yeah. Is there any? Yeah, but look at it this way then. Okay, okay. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Look at it this way then. The way it is, we can't beat them. So is there any way that Everton could, what could Everton do? What could Benitez do to try and give ourselves more of a chance of staying? Because if we go and just do what we did to Palace and Wends, we're sitting here, see you later, it will be 6-7. I think Everton's best tactic at just today would be travelling down to Manchester United. I knew you were going to say that in the US. I think that would be the best tactic. But if we have to play the game. I can't see any way we beat them. Not beat them, but how would we stay in the game? What would you do to try to stay in the game? What would you do to try to stay in the game? Because I think quite clearly what we're doing at the minute ain't working. Liverpool's colour will survive. Number one, Everton have to cut out all the mistakes. You have to cut. So we talk about defeats and we talk about the games we've been beating and stuff. Most of the goals are we just go like that. So we have to cut that out. And then once we cut that out, which I think we did against Arsenal for the most part. We did a gift and they go like that. Yeah, but it wasn't a mistake. So you've got to not make mistakes and then you've got to raise your game. And then you've got to hope that every single player's on it and then every single sub's on it. And that's Everton's biggest problem is stopping the mistakes. But mistakes are more likely to come if you put yourself under pressure as well. If you've got, if you let the opposition dominate the ball and you don't. See last season, this time last season when we were coming in December and January and when we were winning games. We were, I think what we were doing a lot better was we had like the back four and then we had the midfield sitting in front of the back four and that's where we were nicking the ball. That didn't, it getting through to the defence and then we were breaking whereas now we don't seem to be able to nick the ball. So it's getting through to the defence, the defence are making mistakes, goal to goal. And that's the problem. Well, what about personal wise? Can you do anything defensively personal wise? What would you do for that to that defence? Part of me, honestly, part of me makes me think that you should just play a Rezzi side. No, honestly, honestly, honestly, and save to go play for Leicester. Honestly, part of me thinks that way because part of me thinks, and then people will go, well you're just the fetus of the years. But part of me thinks, what's the point? What's the point of risking any? Well, yeah, we'll put it this way, the court is on four yellow cards. If he picks up a fifth in this game he misses Sunday against Leicester at all in a game you really need him in. So straight away, I wouldn't play the court, because I just think he'll get a yellow card. Because he'll be chasing after their players all day and he'll pick up a yellow card. And we need him against Leicester, a game which is winnable. This is big, it does get into that territory now doesn't it, where you have to start going, that. I hate it, I hate that mentality because it was what, while I'm a bit moes sometimes, would be that's more winnable and I'll have diced it a similar thing, that's more winnable and that one. But in this situation because we need that three points so desperately against Leicester. Because let's be honest, the home games are won with the crowd. The players, the manager can't seem to get the players going, but the crowd do in general. Will Chelsea play walls next Sunday away? So they might think that's the tougher of the two games. So they might make a couple of teams. And that's the difference, isn't that the difference in clubs like Everton? Or no, that's the difference in Everton. Most of the teams, but basically the top of the ace. Chelsea will be able to rotate that squad literally completely, and not lose enough quality that it will worry them playing the team like Everton. Whereas we, if we rotate, we are obviously bringing in severely less players. The thing about it though, like you've just said with Decorae there, it makes sense not to play Decorae because he's a huge misflush and we will need him on Sunday. It's huge that, it's huge. So there's that, if you're going to pack them in field, it's a chance to play Kabaman again, give them another go. Or play, or you play Decorae in a position which is the tip of a three, that there's less chance of them picking up a book and because he's not in the middle. I know it's a risk. Because you can get a book in it, you stick your foot out and you go over it. You can't live with it there. I think I'd be looking at maybe Kabaman or Nyango or something on Thursday and just going play. Like you said, play in that position in front of three more experience from the fielders and just be busy. You know what I mean? If Kabaman's there, because obviously Delph's gone after play isn't he? I don't think Tom Davis is going to be back. Unless Alan might be back. Might be back. Make it up. Would you risk Alan? No. I wouldn't. If he's touched the goal, what's the point? He might just save him for Sunday. We need to win the home. Once you get past Chelsea, three of the next four games are good, isn't it? Yeah. And everything should be really targeting 10 out of 12 points over the Christmas thing. Leicester, Burnley, Newcastle and Brighton. Everything should be targeting 10 points out of that. I'm not trying to get it. But we should win every home game at the crowd. Leicester a decent side, but they've been all over the place themselves. You let goals in for fun. No, no. But the other three games we should be looking to win as well. Burnley will be hard, of course it will, but... No, you've got to play out of time. You've got to look and go win that. You can't go. Listen, people might go to Sydney and go on. You're the defeatist. No, we're realists ultimately. Well, on this, just on this occasion. We're playing Thursday in London. And then we're playing Sunday at 12 o'clock. So that's a couple of days rest in between the games. Normally, this isn't me. And in a normal season, if we were bobbing along and things were all right, I'd be like, no, let's go and have a go with them because they're letting goals in. I'm just not convinced that if we play that best side, it'll make any difference just right now. So maybe it would be a case of going, let's give. You never know when you play players like that. Sometimes they shy and you go, well, I just found a player here now. Whereas listen to Batman is terrible against Wolves. You know who he was. But if you put someone in who sits and said to him, just go and be busy, even if it's for 45, 50 minutes, right? And then you go right on the angle. You're his replacement now. 10 minutes into the second half. Do the same, go and be busy, get around a bit. At least you're having a look at a couple of lads who you may have to rely on over Christmas. If the court is on four yellow cards, he's missing some game over them four games. You ain't getting through those games without getting booked, is he? Unless the, when's the, when's the pay? It must be sure. Is it? 10 years' day, I think so. Right, so we should be all right if we can get through for Brighton. So that's something, yeah, definitely I will be throwing to Batman or on Yang Owen. And I'll be leaving Alan as well. If Alan's such and go, I'll be leaving him for Sunday as well. I'd rather give him three more days rest. Because Sunday's the game, we simply have to win. Where is Chelsea? I just can't see us winning no matter what team we put out. So put lads out, you were going to go out with Batman. If you're on Yango, getting your Premier League full debut at Stanford Bridge, you're going to go out and put it, have a right go go, aren't you? And you might only last a half or 50 minutes if you don't want to then put a ban on them or something like that. Do it that way. Give players who have gone on one or other go. People either thrown in one or she, the young lads, the one or she. Llywodraeth yng Nghymru. Put Llywodraeth i'n bach yn, yw'r acob o'n meddwl. Now you might need them. Put on bach yn o, play ti ar y brantweith. Hold it right back? Oh hold it. Give Coleman a breeder. You know, rather than going, you're playing every three days mate. He's playing terrible. And he's playing hold it right back. So your back four currently is John Joe Kenny. John Joe Kenny, Hullgate, Brantweith and Kyle John, who's your right back, playing it left back. And Carly Tarrer yng Nghylch. No I thought you were going to say, what's his name in Gull? The ex-Liverpool. I don't think he can play though because I don't think he's had his vaccine. That seems like a team, back four, that. I just think it is difficult and I'd never have for cake fish normally. And Django, Delf. I don't care about Delf. Bumblebee. Ffarae. No, this is going back to that Davy. Now I think you do have to play on it. Like I said, I'm not a fan of going give this game up and to save it for that game. But I just think the Leicester game is such a big game for us. It really is. It's a big game for him. That's a huge game for him. Cos he might be sitting at home watching it. And therefore if it's Duncan, I'd say Leicester are wanting to have his best team available as well. So it's a tough game. And the Corey, I think the Corey is such a key player for Evan. I don't think, I think in other areas you could patch it up like we've, that's not really where we've been able to patch like the Luke of Deane position with Galfrey. You could probably do the right bat ball. It would be really, really, really, really stupid if we went into Stamford Bridge, got battered and the Corey picked up a book. Of course it would. It would be just the stupidest thing in my life. And you have to take these things into consideration. Corey, you've got to. And I honestly think the other thing with Gabbaman is, and listen, he's shown nothing to the three warrants any kind of game at the moment, but you're coming into January. You want to have another look at him. If he plays and he's all over the gaffer gen, you get him out on loan and say that does anything for him. And then if he does well on loan, then yet you look at him again. There's somewhere if he doesn't, you have to look at ways that you can get rid of him. But it's all about 25 million per cent on the field player who's 6'4'3. 6'4'2, wherever he is, get him in and have a look at him. And but don't put him, make sure that whoever's sitting is the responsibility, so it's dealt. So say it's dealt, sit and do not move from in front of the back four and then Gabbaman can go and do a bit of pressure with whether you use Gomez or whether you put on y angle in a shot. Because Chelsea are very athletic, they move all over the pitch. And they're physically strong as well. No, as I said, you have to cut out the mistake before you're running into top teams. You've seen that against Liverpool. Two-one were sort of in the game and then one mistake, the game's over. And then did your front-end loss was the same. Wafford was the same. It's like any game in it. We have that thing, you can see the goals quickly as well. You can see goals in the Premier League. If you can see stupid goals, it just gives the opposition so much. When do we score goals where it's like a gift? We never do, we never do. Cos most teams don't do it. Cos most teams just do the basics. And the teams you do give the gifts away are normally the teams that are in the bottom three or four and that's where we're heading at the moment. It is worrying and meaner. I imagine he's not back-handed this week. And again he's... You wouldn't bring him back to Chelsea. You wouldn't bring him back to Chelsea. So it's just all a little bit. It's flat as anything. Merry Christmas. It is, it is. Now it is. And these are the good side as well. Come for the lead side. Let's have a look at the last team. So there you go. Social with these three at the back. Three, four, three, one. And you've got... It's big Rondon, isn't it? The big R33. Rondon. But now it's again, you look at the gaps where you might be able to get him. But when you look at this side, you know, and you've got the three, four, three, and see him over in it, he was a handful at any time. Mason man brilliant. Truckers go brilliant the weekend. They've got the car. Romo being for this game, and he'll fancy a goal or two against us. And especially the way I defend this at the moment. He'll bully Michael King all day long. He'll bully if it's Mason Hallgate. He'll have Hallgate everywhere. So, you know, really, I don't know how we stopped that. So it is going to be a case of... trying to pack. I don't know what you do, because if we were playing all right, and there was a bit of confidence, you'd look and go... You'd still be worried. Of course, you're playing more at the top. You're playing European champions. I don't remember that as well. He's playing European champions. He's got a couple of players back as well. I don't know. There you go. Let's have a look at Mason Mount. Obviously, he's been in good form recently. 13 appearance. There's six goals, four assists. He is, of course... I mean, it says the top palace player, which is poor for Ned, but he's the top Chelsea player. And he's also my fan point at 111 in Arles North Ffange. And he is someone who has just got better and better for Chelsea, hasn't he? And, you know, like you said, suck his goal very well the other day. So he's one you've got to look out for? Just the one. Just the one to go away and look out... There's literally nobody that you can't... wouldn't not look out for that. It's people like Bruce James. He's brilliant, so... Alonso. I think the only slight weak point that you've got is the goalie. And he's only a slight weak point, and I don't know whether we'll get into their heart. He says going back to Chelsea, you know, he's obviously loved down there, and you won't get any abuse. No, of course not. That's two sets of fans giving him it. Don't want to be mad, innit? I've got no idea how we stopped them. Leeds or the weekend tried to, like, outnumber them in the field. And did all that. It's really going to work for everything, I'm not sure. It was three. I honestly have couldn't tell you how we beat Chelsea because no one really does beat Chelsea. But I don't know how this team... I just... I wouldn't have just been dead nice to watching Everton game where nobody makes a mistake. Like... That would be a starting point. Ben, he got a throw there, didn't he? Not long ago. He got battered. That's the point of it, isn't it? You have to be... You have to have luck, but you also have to not make mistakes. And that's a huge... Like, how many games this season would we have just got, like, clean sheets out of if we'd just done the normal thing? Like, I can even go back to Wafford. And I think I said this to you after Wafford. It was like, before we conceded the second goal against Wafford, two of our players, like, flashed at the ball. Tom Davis just, like, little things like that. My players are just, like, kicking. Instead of just going, calming it down with a good side, just get hold of the ball and don't panic. And don't worry about... Think about if you cut those mistakes out, even if we wouldn't have won the games, we just got through all of those points on the top. But that's what I'm saying. It's like, the weekend, three goals come from mistakes. You know, even giving corners away, soft. It's little things like that that I haven't had. They're the things that... If you can cut them out, you turn losses into draws, and then you can turn draws into wins. I mean, listen, we've won against Arsenal. And we were lucky in a way as well. They missed two sitters in the second. No, I'm saying that's football for you. That is football for you. But you do get your luck now and again, especially if you work hard at the end of the pitch. But, as I said, the white flag came out against Palace from the start. I don't know what this game... You can only hope that there's a goal without breaking Chelsea's training ground. That's like... That's a lot of there is other training grounds Manchester United. Honestly, it's just... I just... There's not one ever Tony in watching this video who thinks we can win. So I don't think we're saying anything out of luck here. But that's on us. That's not... Listen, as you said, if we were going into the game and you think, come on, just... You never know. Stick it out. We might get something, but we're giving so many goals away. We're giving goals away for fun. It takes a totally out-of-character evidence display. Totally out-of-character evidence performance to win this game. If you'd have to have a bit of luck, not give anything away and be clinical in the final day. They'd need all of that to come together Chelsea, like you said, before unbeaten in the last 26 Premier League home games against Everton since Paul Ryde out win in 94. But then Chelsea... Chelsea Palace, I haven't won it out since then for us. Everton have won three of the last five Premier League games against Chelsea. That's not bad. As many as they had in 15 before that. Of all the teams to play more than one Premier League game on Thursdays, Chelsea have the best win rate on the specific weekday winning seven of the 11 games. Everton are unbeaten in the last five played on a Thursday. Months to three, there you go. Chelsea can see the day goals in the last three games in all competitions as many as they had done in their previous 18. That is the only thing, isn't it? They're a little bit wobbly at the moment. This is in the last six away games. Jerome won last five. They've lost four in the row. Everton last lost five in the row on the Premier League in March 2018. Chelsea striker Lukaku is the Everton's Premier League's highest goals goal and it's 68 goals. He scored once in five appearances against us though. We've only scored once when they were thrown. That's the thing, isn't it? They've been angry birds. What's the day of angry birds on this year? No managers who've previously taken charge of Chelsea in the Premier League has ever won a wedge against them in the same competition. And Chelsea's major amount has scored in each of his last Premier League three Premier League games and a goal here must see him become the youngest player to score four for the Blues in that competition.
