 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is my three talking points from Brentford One, Everton One today. The Blues so close to getting the first win of the season, didn't happen. And we had to take a point, which beforehand you'd probably said there's a good point to take definitely. It's a tough place to go there, but when you're in the last 10 minutes and you're winning away from home, you know, you're really hoping you can see it out, we couldn't. And that's the way it is. First thing I want to talk about is Amadou Ohnana. I thought he made his full debut today, Premier League debut. And I thought he did really well. To be honest, I thought he showed some good signs that he can be a really good player for us. He's big and strong and competitive, kept the ball moving today. He's obviously got to get up to speed, but I thought he used the ball better today and he was a little bit quicker in possession. He had been caught in the previous two Premier League games on the ball. You know, I think that game of Fleetwood the other night where they kicked them, opened down the pitch, probably done them the way they could. Oh, this is how fast it is in this country. And he didn't really get caught on the ball today. He got it, knocked it off and got it and popped it about and was competitive, like you say. I want to see a little bit more from him driving forward, but he did play one brilliant ball into the Marey Grae and he really should have gone on and killed the game off for us. And obviously we lived to regret that, didn't we? Cos we didn't win the game, there you go. But now I thought it was a good performance from him. Very, very encouraging Premier League full debut for Amadeu and hopefully he can go from strength to strength now. And if Everton can get the make-up of that midfield, right, he could be a big player then, especially if Ghana comes in as well and you've got Ghana and Woby in him in there. You've got a lot of energy in that midfield then and I think that can compete with a lot of teams. So I was delighted with his performance today. I was a bit disappointed he went off to be honest, but obviously the manager and the coach and staff have had a scene that he's tiring or just didn't want them to risk anything so. You know, thought he'd done well, thought he did well today. The second thing I want to talk about is the formation. Now we're playing three at the back, three centre backs. And particularly in the first half we got caught out two or three times with a long straight ball. And I think what's got to happen is because Patterson, we're asking him to play high up and thought he had another good game today. Bar a couple of moments. We're asking him to play high up which means there is a big gap in behind him. So one of our centre backs has got to come out to position to kind of mop that up. And I think sometimes we're caught still, a little bit being in a line on the edge of the box and one of them does have to come out and police either side really. But if we are going to play that, because obviously right now we're playing a three, three, four, three, a loose three, four, three really. I think we would be better playing if we're going to keep the three centre backs in. It looks like he will do, although we've lost my whole gate now as well. It will be interesting to see what he does at Leeds whether he just puts Michael Cain in or whether Seamus comes in as the right centre back or whether we go to a flat back four. But if he does keep the three centre backs in, I do see a time where we do have to move to three in midfield and play it like a three, five, two. So you'd have your three midfielders and then have whether it's Damari Gray or whether it's, you know, might be Anthony Gordon off Neil Mopai or Damari Gray off Neil Mopai or off Rondon or off Dominic Calvert-Lewin. It might be Mopai and Calvert-Lewin and Gray's Shub. We have to look for ways to get in three midfielders in, I think. I think, because I, to get more goals in a team, would be, and then we get more out of it. That way I think the midfield can be, can have more of an influence and I think the wing back can be higher up playing that formation. It's not like we fly down the wings with our wide men and get crosses in and we're in the box. It's just not what we do. We do have three up there, but they all cut inside. Every one of them. So, you know, the manager now, they are looking for different profiles, but with only five days left of the window, are they really going to get that? So I think, you know, he could even play four, three, three if he really wanted and lose a centre back and go with a flat back four. But then wouldn't see as much of Patterson riding down the right. So it's something that the manager will be looking at, I'm sure. But I just think with three in midfield, it would give us more control over the game. Cos at that time our general plays actually quite good. The general play today was quite good again. We looked really comfortable popping it about. We had a lot of the ball, but when we got to the final third, still there isn't enough going on there. And final point is the final third, really. And it's just off the back of what I was saying there, is that when you watch us, there is a clear structure now. We play a certain way. We're on the ball. We've got possession. We're moving the ball around. We get to that final third and there's nothing because, like I've just said, the two of the three lads we play up there, if it's Gordon and Gray, one would just run with the ball and get the other away. I don't think there's enough of that attacking in tandem. I think the times you got Gordon, on the back, Gray wasn't up in support. And when we got Gray and Gordon wasn't up in support. And then we had Dwight McNeill, who was floating about, not really doing anything. If you've got a natural striker up there, or natural forwards, they will make their way into the box. We need to have a cutting edge. The amount of times we play through Bremford and then we've recycled the ball. We'd come back and start again. And it was like, we've just worked our way right the way through their team to the edge of the box. We don't shoot enough. We really don't get shot away enough. Dwight McNeill had three opportunities today, three opportunities to get shot away. And every time he got it and played it wide, or turned and went back to the halfway line, we've got to be prepared to get shot away. We've got to be prepared to move the ball through the lines and have people spinning and running into holes behind them by playing through them. They'd done it to us at times. We didn't have it. By having the strikers that they've got, or the three forwards that they've got, there's a lot of movement. Tony is a focal point in the middle for them. His movement is actually quite good as well. And Wemo, when he cuts in, he's quite gentle and he's got wiser, or the silver going into spaces on the other side. He brought Lewis Potter on and he tried to do it as well. And we've got to be doing the similar kind of thing, where it's just right now, we're playing through, and there's nothing in that final third. So there's obviously Neil Mawpais in. He'll be available for Tuesday. But there's work to be done. There's work to be done because everything needs to bring it. I know the time for Armando Brwyd is still hanging in for him. But as well as him, they also need another winger, I think. Especially if Anthony Gordon's going to go. I'm not saying he's definitely going to go, but if Anthony Gordon's going to go, we have to bring another winger in. He has to be a goal scorer winger, or a quick direct winger. And we also obviously are hoping Ghana comes in. But if Gordon does go, there may be scope for bringing another midfielder in as well. So there's work to be done this week. We're talking at least three more players this week. But certainly if Gordon stays, I'd be expecting a midfielder and another striker. So it's going to be very interesting. But that final third is key to what wins your games. It's quite simply. If we'd have had someone through the middle with movement and you could put the ball in the net, we might have killed that game off on the counter attack today. We just didn't. We didn't have anyone through there. Gordon and Gray made good runs. But you know what? Whereas Anthony Gordon took his chance to marry Gray, fluffed his lines when he had a big opportunity to kill the game off. So you need that calmness, that natural striker who will go through and get that game one for you. Because right now, we're certainly not scoring enough goals in these games. We've had opportunities in the opening four games and we should have more points than what we've got. But when you get that, if you've got the forward, so big week ahead. That is it for my three talking points. Enjoy your Saturday night. Give the video a thumbs up, subscribe if you haven't and if you want more videos, join us on Premiere. See you later.
