 Welcome to Toppy TV, it is the match preview. Berry vs Everton, a giglingd. You ever been to gigling? Yes, played there. At the energy check stadium. Oh sorry, energy check. Have you ever played the energy check stadium? Yes. Was it called the energy check? No, it was called gigling. The energy check stadium. When did you play at the gigling? Years ago, four years ago. Four years. Who have played four? Played there three times. I played for Berryham for old him now. OK, see you go. Good. All right, yeah. Let's go. No. 3-0-0, copy 2-1. Set the goal up then. OK. So it's Everton's second pre-season game. I would say the, well it is obviously the first competitive pre-season game. Second pre-season, but the first competitor of the pre-season game. In a week where Everton will play three pre-season games. So it will be fully up and running this week. It's the first chance for those players to really stretch the legs, I would say. Let's just build on what they've done last week really, isn't it? They've got the training camp in Austria. They've obviously played the game against that magnificent side of the weekend, which a lot of people, well some people don't seem to realise when we're breaking it down, we were tongue and cheek. But this is stepping up again now, back to training, obviously on Tuesday. And then for this game, a Berry, ready to go. And it starts to build up. There's about three and a half weeks until the season starts. So it has got to go up on another level now. So players will have to step it up again. And then that step up again at the weekend, when they play against being better opposition. Yeah, Berry have played three pre-season games so far. They sort of started the pre-season backwards, but I suppose when you are a team down the leagues, that's what would always happen, because everyone's going to want to play their first pre-season, which will be slightly easier opposition. So they've played Rangers, but obviously under Stephen Jarab are playing in the Europe League and stuff. So they've beaten 6-0, played Huddersfield, we're beating 4-0, but played Liverpool on Saturday and drew 0-0. So they're obviously getting a little bit stronger towards the season, as you imagine. And I suppose it's a good time to... It sounds stupid because it's pre-season, but in terms of fitness, it's a good time because they'll be getting a lot closer to their maximum fitness. End of the day at this time of the year, and what we've seen on Saturday was, you know, a team were probably less fit than what we were. Well, massively, massively less fit. And that's all you're looking for at this time here, is a team, regardless of what their standard is, to make you run the little extra yards and obviously that's why it picks up as we go along. Yeah, that's exactly right. They've picked up, they've been training, obviously, for a few weeks. This would be the fourth game you played in pre-season, so they will be ahead of us in terms of match fitness and everything. But that's what it's about, isn't it? It's another step for players to get out there, put into practice the principles they're working on, get that extra bit of fitness. We'll have to run a little bit more. It'll be a much more stay in a test on what Saturday was. Defenders will be under pressure, cos that's what happens. I mean, these are the few chances against Liverpool of the weekend. So they're going to have chances. And it's about, like you said, it's about shapes now. It's about players coming forward, seeing some of Marco Silva's ideas against better opposition than obviously what we had at the time. Well, obviously it's his first game, managing everything on English soil. I think Mark Nessow's Atkinson Stanley was he, I think, something like that. Loads of Evertonians turning up. I remember when we played very under David Moyes. Was it Andy Johnson's plays? I was absolutely, I was at Paul Vale, funny enough that thing. I went to the other one. Yeah, the plays were absolutely mobbed and stripped of that Andy John. That was a pre-season game. So I imagine there'd be a lot of blues there, a lot of, obviously there'd be no new players on show, but there's just an opportunity to watch Everton, isn't it? And there's people like Luckman who, you know, they, obviously young lads like Aaron Dahl, you'd expect him to feature. Sandro's back at the club show. Opportunity to see some players. Hopefully Theo Wolcott will be available. Hopefully Davy Clash will be available. So they can get in and, you know, hopefully Gent Ocean can get a bit sharper and stuff. It's good that the weekend. So it's a good opportunity to watch a game of football. Hopefully the weather will be the way it is quite nice. And, you know, like we say, you know, have a closer look at it and see what we can spot. But it'd be nice to see, won't it, if what has been getting taught so far, what has been getting coached, will be getting put into practice because Evertonians rightly so towards the end of the season. We're not happy with the start of football. You know, and you've seen us last day at the season against West Ham when we were just absolutely abysmal and, you know, coming into the last few weeks the football was atrocious. Okay, it was getting results, but it was nothing to build on. So it'd be nice just to see, to be able to sit down and watch an Everton side and just see what the manager's game plan is going forward, what are his ideas. I mean, you know, as much as pre-season is for fitness, for tactical situations, seeing how we're going to play going forward, you know, how certain players are going to be used, are they going to be used differently than they have been before and are we going to get the benefits of that or individual players are going to get the benefits of it. So there's so much to look at and not just think, well, it's a pre-season game. You know, there are the larger ideas getting put into place. Yeah, there's a big advantage of being a game, a pre-season game. If you want to look at it that, it's fine for people to go, and watch this to pre-season. It's a trend, isn't it? But we'll want to look at it a bit closer, on a personal level. Other people will, other people won't. They'll go on and have a couple of beffies. And watch the game, and that's what it's about. Pre-season's no pressure on it. It's just interesting for us to have a look and to see what we're noticing early and how we can progress with that. While keeping in mind it's a pre-season friendly and the players are a couple of weeks into training. So, you know, you look at it in September, it'll look very different than what it'll look like in July. Oh, you hope it will anyway. It wasn't the case last year, like, but, you know. So, like we say, it'll be a good opportunity to see more so is system and the style of play against a better opposition than obviously what we saw over the weekend. Yeah, and ahead of the weekend as well before, you know, it'll be stepped up with two games in two days. But I imagine that, you know, for Barry, I imagine it'll be similar to Saturday where most players will get 45 minutes. And then, and that'll probably be for both sides, I imagine as well, you know, to a point. And then Saturday, obviously, we, you know, on Sunday, you imagine that players will play more of 60 minutes and that'll be stacked up again, you know, because if players are only playing 45 minutes and then at the weekend they're playing, you know, in a hotter climate and in a bigger surroundings against better players and they're playing 60 to, what, 70 minutes or whatever. So it goes up again, doesn't it? So it's, we'd expect that to be the case on the both days, wouldn't you? Show the lad to his sub the first night, get 20 minutes or 25. We'll start the next night and it'll be flipped around. So go down, listen at the time to just sit and enjoy it, isn't it? And just see different things and new things because it's soon you're into the season and you're into the fresh air. Yeah, it feels like it's coming round really, really quick. And you go on. But I suppose, I think, I don't know, I don't know if this is true for everyone but I think there's a little, I think the excitement of having a new manager has almost been tempered by the fact that there's not new players, you know what I mean? It's like, you know, I don't know, I think this might just be me personally but I don't feel like there is as much excitement about having a new manager because we've gone through so many managers in the last few years. It's not all, it's not, I don't know, is the novelty factor still there because we've had, you know, we had a lot of ice, we had David Runsworth, we had Cooman for just over a year and then obviously, you know, Martin is before that. I don't know, is there, are we just like, oh well it's another new manager? Does that take something away from not for me or anything? No, not for me. I'm looking forward to watching an attack on manager. Like you said, you know, Cooman came in and I was like, like to get behind him was your big name and all that. Didn't really develop the team at all. Couldn't really get behind Sam Allard. I tried to but didn't wear. Ones he was thrown in at the deep end. You know, Martin has lost us by a fight through his brain. But, you know, this is an opportunity for us to put some markers down. There's been changes at the club. I'm hoping, you hope, that's what it's about. You hope that we start setting in motion a rebate almost of everything. That's probably too strong a thing but we start putting down, you know, the foundations to build something and that's why. The reason probably why I'm more excited than maybe before is because the football was diabolical and everyone had a big disconnect with the club, with the team after Christmas, I think. And I'm looking forward to that being brought back together and with the new manager who's hungry, eager to prove himself. And I'm hoping that. I hope that excitement is there. We will buy players and that will kick us off. We will. And that will kick us off. It's going to put a disclaimer at the bottom that we will see. I'm saying it now. But the point being, what I'm saying is I hope the excitement is there. I hope the expectation is there. And just because we haven't bought any new players yet I hope that doesn't temper that. I hope fans are excited by seeing a different kind of football and seeing how players react to it. The likes of as you said, then Luchman Hullgate at the back and all these little shentosian having his first Premier League pre-season and starting from the beginning of it and having players around them going to help them score. All those things I hope people are excited about and we can get behind. Bery, do you mean Beckford playing for Bery now, isn't he? No. He was a good player on his day, wasn't he? He scored 10 goals, didn't he? Come on a three. Got 10 goals. Scored against the biggest side and was out the door the following summer because he was moist, obviously. Don't think, see nice to eye. Nice to ask him. But he done well. But he's gone off to he's at Bery and he went last year, didn't he? Yeah, he was a Preston, wasn't he? Yes, and scored it. Wielding the play-off, semi-off. And he was about his own half or something. For he had, you know, good ability back for the quick but shoulder play wasn't great but that's the way it is, I don't know. As you said, he scored against all the big teams, didn't he? He scored twice against Chelsea and scored a rampfield and always liable to palm up. Just his time keeping learning that. And keeping it probably is when you've been not achieved wasn't good enough for me. No, I don't know. They've got Neil Banz as well. Local lads. Ex-Bolton and Birmingham was a Liverpool fan so that'll be feisty. You'll be in there. You've got Chris Dagnall, you should play for Tramiya. He's in there. So there's a lot of connections. Joe Murphy as well who's come through. Very good. Not the right move for him. He's there. So, yeah. There's a lot of local connections. It'll be interesting. I'm sure there'll be loads of blues up by Brian Low who's ex Tramiya as well wasn't he? Amongst other clubs. So it'll be a decent game. Looking forward to it. Looking forward to seeing all the blues. Looking forward to seeing Michael Silver's first game on English soil. Let's just hope to see the excitement there. Neil Banz. C'mon. Clank it up.
