 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview knowledge city versus Everton, a huge opportunity for Everton to get three points at the bottom team in the Premier League and you know, I'm not saying those words massively confident about them but a huge opportunity for Everton to get a Premier League win in 2022. And simply, you know what, you can scratch it on the surface but Everton should be winning a game like this, like I've got to be winning a game like this. Absolutely, got to win. It's as simple as that. We've been on a horrific run. We've won one game since we last beat them. They called us on September 25th, which is embarrassing. And the manager's under huge pressure, absolutely huge pressure, the manager's under them. That goes far as saying if they lose Saturday, you know, they're expecting to be shocked. That expected doesn't mean it would happen. Because this can simply can't continue. He's ran out of excuses as far as I'm concerned. There's no way to go now other than starting to win games. And this has got to be the first place we go and win. They're struggling. They lost again. It's a West Ham, 2-0. So it's up to us to go there and to say it ourselves. We've got more than enough in the team to beat them. Unless we get it right at the back, then we're going to make our own problems again. We've conceded the first goal, I think, in the last eight games or something. I think it was one of the things that's read out a lot whatever the mental games. It's been quite a few. It's not good. It's not good enough. No. No. And, like you mentioned there, you know, we've only won one game since we've beat them last time. Not a couple of games and I think I've got four draws and they've picked up ten points. We've only picked up six. So they're the form team going into this game. I don't think they've scored in the last six, like they got beat last night, as I said, to West Ham. They've scored eight goals all season. Yeah, when we played in the goodness and it wasn't massively convincing, certainly at 1-0. We deserved to win, but only, you know, it was a bit of a slog wasn't it that day. Sadly, we just have to make, you know, we just have to stop making mistakes and doing things and making sure we do things properly. And I think if we do that, we should be all right for me. You know, you just mentioned it, going behind, starting game slow. We have to put all that to bed. We have to and, you know, this has got to be the game. You can't give a club like Norwich any encouragement. So we've got to go and we've got to put them to the sword and hopefully we'll have players, you know, Dominic Arvill, hopefully he's available. We've seen him back in training. So that's good. You know, Michael Enkel's got a game under his belt. You know, it'll be interesting to see what he does on the other side of Paterson. It'll be interesting to see what he does with the form agent. But we've got to get older this game. We've got to get control of it early on and not give them a sniff because let's get it right. Norwich will see this as a game that they can win. They will be looking at the games that they've got and go, evidence, massive trouble. Haven't won an away game since August in the Premier League. They'll be looking at it and think, and this is a game we can take points from. If the crowd get behind us, which the will, the crowd of road always get behind them, they'll be thinking, we can win this game. If we get in front, these will fall to bits. These have got issues. And that's what everyone has got to avoid on Saturday. They've got to go in there and start the game well. They have to. Got to. I've just said they've only scored eight goals all season. They can see the 44. So they're not great at either end. And it's up to us to show our quality. And there's been times this season when we've shown it. There's been games we've lost where we've done all right in bits. And yet we've just then made the stupid error, conspired to can see the goal. That was a ridiculous goal or a mistake or not picking up a runner or a set piece. And you're behind, or you've given a team encouragement. We've lost games you should never have lost. But it doesn't mean anything. It's all about the points. And we've got to go out. I think we've only scored five times or five goals in the first half against this season. It's just awful. It's absolutely awful. These things have got to start being addressed by the manager and by the players. You know, there's big pressure on the manager. Obviously Llywge Dines left. And has had thrown a couple of digs. He's wiped my hands, had the shame. And that has just cranked up the pressure on the manager. And so the team have got to go out and perform. And you've got to make sure that he picks the right team. He picks the team to go out and win the game. And you get on the front foot early and put knowledge under pressure. Because if anything takes the lead, when you're down at the bottom, there is the tendency to go, there we go again. You know, and they're not high on confidence. Regardless of saying the crowd will get behind them and you can see there's a game they can win. They go behind in the game that they feel like they can win. It's there we go again and it's up to ever meant to be able to defend properly and put them to bed. So it's week 22 of Ultimate Fandas a Prize. That's a five thousand pounds. The packs have dropped. Let's go in and let's pick my team. There you go. Charleston, is he going to be available for Everton this weekend? I'm thinking he probably won't be available for Everton this weekend. So who am I going to put in his place? Difficult on this because I've got to replace Salah as well. So I'm going to put Kevin the Bruin in the team. Most Salah, who am I going to replace him with? Well, I'm going to go for Romelu Lukaku. Surely it's about time he started scoring some goals for Chelsea. He's got over his little spat with him and I'm thinking he might get the goals this week. I've got Manchester City as my team. They going in as well. They are playing Chelsea. It is a difficult game for them, but I'm putting them in him in it as well. Phil Foden, is he carrying a knock? Will he be available? I'm going to put in Tealmans for him. I don't want to have too many Manchester City players in there. So I think that looks alright. Bruno Fernandez, he hasn't been in great form recently. He's sort of been put out of joint by Ronaldo, not being in his best form. So I'm going to put Sacher in there. He's been doing well for Arsenal recently. I know they got beaten a couple last week, but I'm going to put him in there. And whom are we going to put? Golden Boot. I'm going to go for Lukaku and the captain. I'm going to go for Kevin De Bruyne. So there you go. That's my team this week for Ultimate Fan.

Because these next few games now, the next four or five in the league and the cup, they're winnable. The games that you look at in the season go, these are very winnable games. These are the points you've got to pick up if you wanted to finish in a European place or whatever. And it's the same now. We've been promised, literally promised by the manager and the CEO that the second half of the season would be better because we're getting new players in and because players are coming back from injury. This is where it starts. Or maybe it started a whole last week. This is now in the Premier League where it starts. One Premier League game so far this year. Obviously we've got beef. But we have to go there because it isn't actually acceptable to get anything but three points at knowledge because they are a poor side. And that's not me saying we're a good side by the way, but they are a poor side. Heaven, I've got better players. I've got better players and they've got to show that and that's down to the manager and it's down to those players to find a bit of professionalism, cut out the mistakes. For me it comes down to the start, get out the blocks early and really put them under pressure from the start. And I think the formation will play a big part in that. Would you be looking to go 4-3-3 for this game to get older that midfield, get a dominant midfield? Because what I saw from the Gooderson was actually a team that weren't too bad in possession but it was at the other end of the pitch or the two ends of the pitch. But in the middle of the park I thought they were alright at Gooderson. They do get older the more I think for us I think we have to get older that area, not just in this game but in every game. Yeah, I think Norman didn't play in midweek so I'm open. He's not fit at it because he was really good at Gooderson. But everything, I've got to have three men in my field as far as I'm concerned. Five at the back is not working for us, whether it works long term. I don't know if it's not working. Right now we're still all over the place. The people can make excuses for the manager saying he's trying it because he doesn't trust this, he's trying to put another defender in. It's not working. It's simply not working so I'd go 4-3-3 and probably you'd have to start going with me, going with me all on the court in the middle of the park and then I've grey. Time's in to fit again now. This is the problem isn't it? I mean the intent is you might be to go 4-3-1 which is what he started the season with. With Damari greu'n in the 10 and then Gordon off the left and Time's in on the right. But he could play 4-3-3 with Time's in to fit in the middle of the field but he did against Spears. Gordon on the right and Grey on the left. Time's in was one of the three men in the field so we could do that. But we've got to make sure that we get in, we get older and we're difficult to break down. I think you can do that more with three men in the field you can block the passing lanes off, you can make it a 4-5-1 at Time's and then try to hit them on the counter. We've got to get older the game in the middle of the park simply because you're playing 3 at the back or 5 whichever way you look at it. But the problem is once the ball gets into that zone, that final zone, we cause our own problems whether it be set pieces or just defending full stop. We've got to start catching teams higher up the pitch, not letting them get chances, not letting them get into an area because defensively you're a mess. Stop giving cheap corners away, cheap free kicks on the edge of the box. Win the ball in the middle of the park and start winning higher up the pitch and starting to use our counter attack. Our plays with Peish, whether it be Damari, Grey, whether it be Gordon, whether Time's in this playing, whoever it is. And then if Dominic Arving starts the game, which we all hope he does, then start using his ability to hold the ball up and stretch teams. For me it's how we approach the game. If we approach the game where we sit back and say we're going to counter attack, we're going to cause our own problems because I think back to the Crystal Palace game, that was the big problem in that game. We sat back thinking I will catch these because we're not defensively stable enough. We just cause our own problems. Counter attacking teams who can't defend are never going to do anything. You have to be able to defend whether it be the edge of your box. We've proved we can't do that so we have to start getting hold of the ball in the middle of the park and that's our starting point then. If you lose some kind of creativity, we haven't got any creativity in there anyway so we might want to have another play then. Whether it is Time's in coming over and joining or whether it's Gomez, so we've got maybe some on the ball a little bit better. We have to change things up because it's not working and as I said, I don't think there's any excuses anymore Bas, like you said. I think we're coming now to a point where we've got this game away and we've got Villaradol and after that an international break and for a lot of people it's 6 points, be 6 points up. For a lot of people it'll just be why didn't you go last week but for me I look at it and think you've got to win one of these games and you can't lose either. Because that international break could be a big crunch point for this football club because they're going to have to make a decision because we can't keep going it's going to be alright. If you start getting into a situation where you start running out of games and you're like oh it's alright because he's coming back next week and he's coming back next week and he'll be fit and all that, doesn't work like that at all. No-one else has stood still have they? No-one's got them, we'll pause till those players are back. We've got to get points now, games are running out, everything can still have it. Everything can have a decent second half of the season but it's what's saying, it's one thing, you've got to do it. This is a game that's there for the taking and if you get it right with the formation and the players put the effort in like they did at Chelsea like they did against Arsenal, they'll win the game and it'll make everyone feel better. We'll move on to 22 points and you can start going, you've got Villa next week and Villa I think you've got United at the weekend if we were to beat Norwich and United be filler on the same points then you're going into that next game and go to some level with them and then they'll be playing so there'll be a point of approach. It changes the atmosphere if everyone gets beat at the weekend, going into that fill again going oh my god. But I'm a bit like you in my head, I think how do you survive getting beat by Norwich? How do you survive as a manager getting beat by Norwich? You're all out of excuses and the angle will just boil over so I think he's got to win. He's got to win otherwise I think he'll be gone, in my opinion he should be gone and we're going to have to go out and make sure we get that win because it's the halfway point for us on Saturday, the 19th game. We've got 19 points after 19 games and it doesn't go very well. The new castle of Bailey are playing each other as well. There's some bad games. So you've got that thing where you've got all of those where if they're getting points you just need to draw us in every other game don't you? You just need three points. Let's have a little look at Norwich's team at Feich West Ham. So 4, 2, 3, 1. Again it's Pucky isn't it? He's up on his own, he's a sharp little player if you give him chances, he's got good moves. I'm not sure you've marked what's the run of him but we should be able to exploit their back line. We did a goodness in Brandon Williams playing left back. He's got the pace but he's all right foot. Max Arans leaves big gaps in behind him. Hanley's one of the centre backs. He's got Ben Gibson played there. He's not very mobile at all. Everything can exploit it. It's making sure we get older about. I'm not sure you can tell them apart but you've got to get older about first. You can't give them any encouragement. If we could go out and establish ourselves in the game early on, I think we could put them to the show. That's exactly what we've got to do. Let's just have a little look at Pookie's numbers. She is the danger man. 19 appearances, 19 starts, 5 goals, no assists. We have a 1.6 shot per game. He is the danger man, he's always the danger man because he's the focal point for them. He hasn't got loads of pace, which is why when he scores loads in the championship and that extra level of quality when you come up it's more difficult. We've got to make sure that we don't give them any room to run into them. That's what it's about. We should be looking to go here and beat these three little shots and go really put these to bed and let's move on. I think you've got to go then, you've got to act like you're in a false position. Nothing we are in a false position by the way, but you've got to act that way haven't you? Puff your chest, that won't go away. We're actually a good side. We've had terrible injuries which is why the way we are and we're about to now show you all that we're a good side. That's how you have to do it. You've got to do it, but the manager's got to be instilled into the players and you've got to get some enthusiasm into these players and give them that confidence. That comes from him and he doesn't instill fans with confidence but he's got to start instilling players with confidence and players have got to be happy to play the way he wants them to play and there has to be something there. I haven't looked into complete, just their second Premier League double over now. The last one was in the 2004 or 2005 campaign. Donkscore. I beat them one in the round in me. I haven't lost their last two Premier League games against promoted sides. Only twice in the competition have they had longer runs. Four between September 2000 and 2001, February 2001 and four between April and November 2019. Nor did you have lost each of their last 18 Premier League games against the six ever-present sides in the competition. You've taken just five points in the last 45 available in the Premier League home games. One-one through two lost 12. You've only scored five goals in that time. After taking four points in the first two away games this season, Evan picked up just two more in the seventh since, two draws and five defeats. Those two draws were Manchester United and Chelsea, which is crazy. The scored in his last two Premier League games against Norwich, September 2019 and in the game earlier in the season. The Mariglain, Dominic Alvalun, scored in each of Evan's first four away goals in the Premier League net and two each. Since then the Toffees four away goals in the competition have been netted by different players. Time's in the will be run, run, run the way. We've scored four away goals since the Brighton game. That's it. There you go. But I do think if we can get it right defensively, that's obviously where it starts. It's where it starts, isn't it? This is a chance for us to win. Keep a clean sheet and I think we'll get the three points. Simple as that. Three-nil when, please, Evan. It's just been normal. It's just been like a side that, you know, Arsenal would beat them five in a lady of the week. Just go there and get a goal. It's just been normal. Just been normal. Just win a game like three-nil. Be three-nil up ar a three and then just be a boring next ball. That'll be nice. It will be nice. There you go. Let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one. Are you nervous?
