 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview, Everton vs Manchester United at Gouldison Park in a game that sort of just has been sort of forgotten about in a way because obviously coming off the back of the Burnley game but I suppose you've got to get ourselves all for it haven't we because there's still nine games to go. We are not dead yet. We're not quite dead yet, we're nearly dead, we're just hanging on but I have 12 kick-off and an opportunity to go up against a Manchester United team that yes they are competing for the top four, appreciate that but also just look a little bit like if you try a little bit, they might just thought a bit. You don't look the most creative side in the world, I've had no real striker recently and now listen they've got a top-top player playing for them but yeah I'm just trying to make as positive as possible. I don't know, I'm not doing a very good job of it but it's Manchester United at home isn't it? That's what the fixture is yeah, there's Manchester at home and they have been hitting missed this season. When you look at the two clubs, the both in my opinion underperforming hugely, United given some of the talent they have shall be much better than what they are but they just look like a club in transition. They're almost, the way we just want the season to finish to try to start afresh, they look the same to me, they look like they just need the season done and they can get, it's 10-hag now isn't it, they're coming in apparently and they can start afresh with them and getting you ideas. And Rangic's just a placeholder, they've got some wonderful attack on plays they really have but they're still, they're just not convincing United and probably Evan is the best opportunity against them on United's side for a few years to try to get something out of it. The flip side of that is Evan are absolutely terrible. They are like the waitrose version of us aren't they? Do you know what I mean? They are like, there's a lot of the same similar things, they've gone through managers recently obviously not the way we are but the expectation really high, the demand to do things the right way but the recruitment doesn't validate that because it's so. There's no single identity, it's the way they're washed with it. It's exactly yeah and then bringing in someone like Ronaldo I think even though he's obviously scored the goals that you expect him to score, I think he's took that identity to Bruno Fernandez because you know he was there. I know he's just signed a new contract and obviously he'll outlast Ronaldo obviously but you're writing up, you've got plays like Pogba who's going to go with the end of the season. And then you've got other like workman type plays like Scott McTominay who are like have become really important for the team and yet you under like Sarag's Fakes and when they were a good obviously an amazing football team. They'd have plays like Scott McTominay but they weren't important plays, they were people who come in, you're John O'shakes on the plays like Phil Neville's, they come in and do a job and then go out whereas for them they're like the mainstay. And I think there's so many similarities except as I said they're like a, they've got better players but no identity, attitudes of the players you know, you're a, oh he's, you know the dress renewing doesn't believe he's the right man or that's the right or the splitting. It just feels like a lot of the same similarities except that our plays are just really really crap and their plays are half decent but they've got bad attitudes. I think that's what gives us a little bit of hope in this game is that if everything can get on top of them and you know can get an early goal, how much are they going to be that ass? I know Leicester, I think they went behind Leicester didn't they and obviously got to go back quickly but Leicester, it was a very dull game of football. There was nothing in it man, you know I said we ain't making lots of chances it was, I don't know, I listen, I'm clutching at stores of course, I'm trying to will evidence to win a game of football. If everything can stay in the game of football like we did against Newcastle and maybe grab a chance, one or two players with Charleston plays like he didn't get me, I don't know, I just know that they're not, I'm not as fearful of Manchester United just because you look at them and think use it a bit of a mesh as well. So, the opportunity is there isn't it to try and grab three points? Absolutely, it's there, the crowd will make a hostile, the crowd will be up for it, the players will have to respond. We know United, if United click and we can on any given day they've got the quality of play it, that they can beat us comfortably of course, they can have a better side than us, but right now they're not Manchester United that we've been used to. Certainly not Manchester United the same ten years ago, but on the white like you said it's almost like killing time it feels like I've done that overlap, Gary Neville's overlap, I was listening to Neville and Keane talking about them and he was just like the dressing room is not very good, there's no identity, he was talking to Adam McCowley, he was obviously United, big United fan he was just like, it's not in there, there's like good players for it all. It just feels like they're in a bit of limbo I think, I think they're ready for the next thing to start. I think they're ready for like the real thing to start on. And I feel like that with Evan I almost feel like, I know Frank Lampard's made loads of mistakes already, but I feel like the summer gives us a chance to reset, but it's where we reset, are we in the Premier League, are we in the Championship, it's kind of crazy to say it. But this represents a game 40 on Saturday where we can maybe, we can fight and battle and scrap and see what we can get. We don't beat Manchester United very often, I think it's one winning 13 games against them, but that win was a 4-0 win when we batted them, but I think they would have much better side than they are now. It's been a bit tighter in recent times of gooders, albeit they have won as well. We've just got to stay in the game, battle and scrap, and hopefully if we get the opportunity take our chance when it comes along. But one thing's for sure, Evan won't get anything out of the game if the defence continues to make mistakes because people like me now don't want miss chances. They won't miss it as the way other teams have. You cannot give up any space to these at all, but it'll be interesting to see how Lampard approaches it. Yeah, obviously we'll have Alan available, we'll have the possibility of Delth being available, Michael Keane will be back. So the squad will get a boost. Sheamus probably will be back as well. So there are changes that can be made. John Joe Keane can be taking off the side. Alan will come back into the side. What about someone like Jared Branthwight? Do you give him another go? I leave him in. Personally my back four at the weekend, cos you do the starting line so I can do this, would be Coleman at right back, it would be Branthwight and Keane, and I know. And I'd have Michael and Cole left back, and I'd have Goffrey in the field. But I would understand that if he wanted Goffrey at left back, I'd understand that totally. And those three is like three and I'd have Sheamus at the back. So I think Ben Goffrey, I'd have Goffrey, Alan, and the Corrie in the field. Because I think United, because they've got people like Bruno Fernandez, he's fantastic. I think if you can get three men in the field and try to block off the space there, and then you can almost make her a five with the Charles and Anthony Gordon. And then if you've got the looms going to play, isn't he? So you'd have him as your target man. See how that goes. Cos I think more than anything, just try to board again that cos United are a bit creative, they're a bit like us. Try to board it down a little bit. Bit like we did against City, where we had unbelievable football side, and yet when they played us, we didn't really give them anything. In fact, it was a spawning goal that won the game for them. Do the same, only with United you'll get opportunities. So that's how I would approach you. And that's Ben Goffrey in the field till the end of the season. And there he would.

If it would be the third game in six days, a year after this, we haven't got a game for a week and a half. But that gives us a chance to get me in a fifth of the last eight games, which could be huge. It could be massive for everyone football. If it were to get him back, and it is a big if, if he could stay fifth for those last eight games, I think we might have half a chance to stay in up with him in this round, maybe without him. But Saturday, I've said this will be the third game, I've said before, but if you can't win, don't lose it. Just at least put something on the board to try to break it up because we can't keep losing games. But it is a bit maddening. United fans want to know what you think you can beat us, but I do think we can get a positive result here because I just don't feel like they're firing. Normally in Manchester United, you go on dead softish, but the games are tended to be quite tight. We beat us 3-1 last year and we were in very good form. But even in that, we gifted them. There's some footballs about hope and we are very much at the bottom of the bottle now when it comes to what hope we've got left. And I think a lot of fans will think that Wednesday night was where the last of it tried though. But there are nine games left and we're not in the relegation zone yet. We could possibly go in obviously this weekend. We're not there quite yet and while we're not in the relegation zone going into a game, you've got to have a little bit of hope, haven't you? You've got to have… Listen, we're not going to win a game through being better than another side. I don't think for the rest of the season. I really don't. I don't see us being better than other sides. But that's not what wins your games. What wins your games is being dogged, being tight. Barely ran better than anything. No, putting your body on the line wanting to win. The wanting to when someone comes into the box that you're going to make sure you block a shot or you know what I mean, these are the things. And this is never the place I haven't been doing that so far and if they don't start then we will be relegated to the simple as that because we will not be. We will not in my opinion outperform anyone this season really. I just don't. Maybe the odd game here or there but so that's all we've really caught at the moment is a little glimmer of hope while we're not in the bottom three. And it is that thing of like well it's still in our hands but unfortunately the minute we drop into the bottom three then it goes out of our hands and then listen I think we're already relying on other people's results as it is. Relying on them to be poorer than we are. And that's not going to last. You know what's mad? Since Rangit took over on Liverpool and City have lost less than United. That's what's mad on Gary. He's perceived us. I think he's drawn too many games haven't he? That's been the problem. Well let's have a look at Manchester United had their line up or have they have been line up. And it is that the 4-2-3 one. And this might be something that lampard goes with at the weekend. I personally would have had play 4-3-3 or a 4-5 one really. Because what I'd do is with Alan in Decorae. Sorry Alan in Goffrey which is the two I'd have in my field. You can have Decorae breaking as the third. I haven't won him beyond Donbury. He probably won't do that which is why it be tempted too. Because I think Brantwick deserves to play. I think he's a proper defender. Maybe they've got free at left back. Just to have Darren there and Michael Keane. Because unless you just keep the same sense. But they've left three goals and I think he will change it. But it will be interesting to see. And then obviously we've picked out Manchester United's danger man. And it's no surprise it's Cristiano Ronaldo. It's 24 appearances, 21 starts and he's got 12 goals and three assists. I've got just 3.5 shots again. A bit more than 3.5 shots again. So we know he's a threat. You give him a chance. It's practically a goal. So you've got to make sure you mark him well. And maybe what he'll do is put Goffrey on him and just try and match him. Maybe. Being an education. He is brilliant in the air so I don't know. I think we've just got to go out of battle scrap fight for everything and see what's what. I mean I just haven't won a few seconds of away games against Everton since 2005 to 2007. It's just madly beat us last year of course. But they've beaten Everton 37 times in the Premier League. They've only beat Spadesmore. Everyone beat Everton. They've scored at least once in each of their last 16 away games. Great. I'm looking for any kind of hope here. Now Everton players scored more home goals this season than the Charleston. He's got 3. He's not pathetic. That is absolutely pathetic isn't he? I can't really. I've just looked through it all. I can't find anything. Anything positive. That can give me any hope other than to just say that we need to get something out of it. And if the players don't realise it, they never will. But we've been saying that for about 8 games. There you go. There you go. Tough game. The difference is that they're all tough. When you crap, they're all tough. When you look and go. Oh my god we've got to play that team. We're crap so everyone's tough. There you go. Let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one. Don't forget to download the ultimate fan app as well.
