 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the final word for FCC on nil. Ever nil joined by Andy at El Pavoti football or FTBL rather. I mean, we haven't got loads of goals to talk about because there wasn't a single one. But it's pre-season, it's pre-season. All you can take from it is no injuries and a bit of fitness isn't it? Yeah, it's a plus. As long as they're not at this stage when they come to the end of pre-season, it's the start of pre-season, two games in. Not much more, they're just doing it for fitness work at the moment. They'll step it up as they go through. Some more high performances as well from certain players. I think it was definitely a step-up from the Carrier Bangu Sharks game, which was more like an exhibition game, I suppose. We had returning players like Sigurddson, James Coleman, Bernard, Michael Keane, all backing the action after being away, obviously on the international duty and stuff. They come to Switzerland and a lot of them completed the 45 minutes. I think from the overall thing I would take from it without taking too much, was our lack in the final third. We are still lacking in that final third. Yeah, without me, Charleston, being in the team, someone who gets in the box naturally and they don't like half of the ruins, obviously not back as well either yet. You've got Neas, Morales, you know, and some of the younger lads, they went to you, tried the best in certain points, but yeah, there's not much at the moment. It's hard to, I suppose, we are on a full team. There's still transfers to come in. There's still the best attackers to come back. So I suppose it's just about being patient. I know a lot of the fans weren't happy. Obviously we did have a goal to sell out completely wrongly, but you know. It is one of those. I mean, you've been with the first half, obviously, when you've got a squad out there, the way Michael Silver took it out, you're going to get that, you know, the changes at half time and things. So he's gone with, you know, a younger team in the first half. Obviously Jonas Lassel, by his first start, he was in goal and then we had Kevin Morales at right back. Was it an interest on one? Yeah, I think he whipped one of right ball in, but it was about it, yeah. You know, you had him at right back, but I'm saying a young team, I'm just naming the older ones, and I'd like him Bains at left back, but basically. Bains looked a bit fresh, actually. He looked better than last week. Yeah, he's getting the 50, he looked a little bit of a string in the step, which was in comfort. I'm worried that he's going to lose a step, but he did look all right yesterday. Now he looked okay, and then obviously Mason Holgate was in there, Michael Keane. Mason Holgate's looking a lot, it's very slight. He looks like he's got no muscle on him whatsoever. For a sense, you know. I think he looks bigger than last season. I don't know, I just think he looks smaller than what it is. I was going to look and I thought, you know, but again. But he might just be that. That might be his size, yeah. That might be. Yes. I mean, you know, Chiracic sometimes plays a fac. If he went around, it would have been like that. Oh, yeah. He'd have the doctors looking at him. The doctors, yeah. Shots and everything else. My field obviously was snaddling in Gomez, but then in front of them was obviously Broadhead, Tom Davis and Joe Williams and Oomani Ashford. So suppose out of the younger ones who started, probably Nathan Broadhead was the kicker. He made a couple of good touches. He went up a bit where he'd gone to the corner of the box in the half space. He took past the man, and then he set it off for Brad. He should score probably, you know, but whatever. But yeah, he was all right. Joe Williams put on like a couple of thunderous tack. He was all right, and then he got tough off, because I think he was an injury risk. And obviously last year we lost him in pre-season, which ruined his chances of everything. That will have been, I suppose, from his perspective, maybe not the man, but from his perspective, that's a frustrating thing. Because he was playing on the right of three. Yeah, why didn't he just play him at right? Tom Davis at right, back playing with 10 and that. Because he just wasn't really getting into the game. That's not his role, yeah. He's someone who breaks up playing the field. I would rather see him next to Gomes and see how they work. Gomes looked all right as well. He's shaking off the cobwebs as well, all on weapons. He was like, you know, he's some lovely passes. There's one out ball out, it was fantastic. But yeah, again, it was just a fit to friendly. You can't read too much into him. The fact there is a lot about fitness. As you say, most of the senior players, when you play 45 minutes, I'm guessing they'll play 60, maybe on the weekend on Friday against Monaco. But I'm sorry, it was an all right game. It was not really like I could say, you know, that was something that we could apply into the season yet. It was just a little bit of a position. It is hard at this stage, isn't it? Because obviously, like you've just said, we're still missing and we will be missing Ghana. Ghana's weather. We did go through to the final after this or whether we have him back because he's ours or whether we sell him or whatever. Well, I think it depends on when he's back on both. He's not going to play before. I think he'll start training around the first game of the season. Exactly. We're not going to have him anyway at the minute, it looks like. But he'll listen next week, I think he comes back. It's a cavalou. It's a cavalou, it's the shame. But obviously, the first half, the pick at the moment in the first half was the goal you just mentioned, balling by Leighton Benchman, free kick. Michael Keane, go dede, and see anything wrong with it. I think he touched the grass in the referee blue. It was a bit of a mad decision. That was the closest the left was to the box because in the second half, he was 45 yards away. John Leal, I think he's got you. And then other than that, we didn't really do it. We passed it around, we dominated the possession. We never looked in any danger. It was a chance for the ass to be in the box. That was just the start of the second half. Sorry, sorry. I was thinking about this yesterday. When you look at the ass, he never seems to place the ball. Always seems to be on the top of the net. He's always hit the smack butters' foot through it. Again, you need a bit of touch there. You put it over the bar. There was a couple of chances as well. There was one in the first half when you were talking about Andre Gomez that I wanted to just pick up on when he get the ball and in our half and he goes lovely little double touch and just left the lap behind. The ass makes a good run to be fin and he goes a little bit heavy. But in that little snap shot there, that was what Gomez can bring to us. That's what we need to see more this season. That link of play we can drive us forward. Break the line as well. It's a unit as well. He's got pace so he's run with the ball to fend the stuff back and off and panic and it opens up space for you. And that's what we need. If it's too static for the mafia where they're sitting in and stuff like that, you're quite guilty. He's got a bit of space, which is not great. That was in the second half, he's got a bit of space. That's when he sort of nearly scored. He's got this weird technique where he seems to loft the ball. There seems to be no pace on it. It just drops it. It's just fantastic. I was looking at my Gomez and I was thinking that's key because that was the Gomez at Valencia. That was what he was very good at. Driving forward with his pace, I don't think we've seen enough of that last season. We've seen a couple of games. It was flashes, wasn't a Wolves. Don't worry, he crossed it for a Charleston as well, can't be much game out of Brighton. There's new Castle of A at the system. It was another one where he went on a brilliant one at home. We need a little bit more of that from him and I think if he can bring that side of his game out, then he will go up another level. I think if you look at Garn in the second half of the season, if he can instill a confidence to get back to that thing, that £22 million a snip and my only ever worry with Andrew Gomes is whether he's going to play within himself or express himself freely. He's a match winner on his day. You can do that when he breaks down a team in one movement, which we need more of that. I have other thoughts about the Shesty. If the midfield is going to be garnering again and Gomez needs to be an improvement. They were good last season but they need to be another level and it needs to be more from them, really. Definitely. Got through our time, it was 0-0. Obviously made some changes. Sigarton, which you've just spoke about came on. Bernard came on. Lewis Gibson come on. When we started trying to get our foot on the ball a little bit more. We still dominated the game again. Considering that, I think their season starts next week. It does, yeah. I know this in quality levels and everything else. Everton were in total control of the game. We kept them at arm's length. Everyone's shot. I think they were going to buy the lossals post wasn't much. Obviously Joven picked for King on our last time as well. I thought in the second half Everton forced it a bit more. We opened them up a little bit more. Obviously gilfy, like you've just said that great moment. He just shifted on to his left foot. I was thinking, is that the next minute? It's dropping on to the bar. It's like the goalie scoring's less last season. He hit it hard, but then it just seems to fade down. Whoa, is that going? And he also hit the post as well. I was in love with the shots as well. It takes a shot early, which I like sometimes. He doesn't give the goalie a chance to set himself. But again, that's what all we had really. It was him having that one, that speculative shot. It wasn't really much. He should have put his foot through instead of trying to place it. He should have. It's good to say about the keeper. Bro, that done really well. Pulled it down great first. Got his head up, which is good. Had a look. Pulled it back in Bernard, got it through it. He sounded to be too precise almost. But he hit it right down the middle and the keeper makes a good shot. That was the only thing. Without taking anything away from it. I mean, we could have had a couple of penalties as well. The handballs of the injured. Getting worked up over a friendly, but you can't. As long as they're not getting injuries and they're getting fit. If they were getting battered 6-0, then we're right, fair enough. It's still a friendly, but you'd be going why we conceding goals. We'll have to see on. They're not a great side. The budget's very small. The best player wasn't playing this. Got song as well, haven't he? Yeah, they have. But I haven't played it if he left the spot in a couple of times. It's not nine miles. Hasn't changed. But I suppose in the second half, I think what will, what will, but I mean, Llywydd, Dean came on at half-time and it was his first action. When I thought he got up and down quite well, you could see he wasn't sharp and some of his passion wasn't perfect. But, you know, the pitch wasn't great as well. I had guilty-sigertons in two after it. The pitch was quite right. So trying to play the ball, so you can't fizz the ball about a little bit, and obviously it was hot, wasn't it? But suppose the only thing for me, like you say, negative, if it's a negative, or if you're looking at it and trying to assess it, would be we have to sharpen up on a final third, and you just look at it with no retialis and no domino culvertly, and obviously no geng Towson, because he's injured as well. Not much after that, is there? We know the club are trying to bring in centre forward, and we know the club are trying to bring in a left-footed winger as well, right winger. And I think that can't come quick, you know, for really, it looks like Adam Ola Luchman is off, isn't he? I think they didn't risk him for the injury. Well, that was it, isn't it? And the minute, then, the price meets what Everton's valuation is, which is allegedly around £25 million for him, then he'll go, and we know that. So that's why, you know, we've got to get that winger and that striking in as soon as possible. Walcott? I don't know what Walcott. I don't know because he played last week, didn't he? He's the type of player we could have done. It was strange that he wasn't there. Was he putting the ass in the shop window? We were just short and he needed players, because you know, you don't really want the round of squad to leave him, but it's something that was in it. I mean, what I would say about my Dallas, and I'm like, you know, pat him on the back and say, thank you, when he goes, I'll be quite happy about it. What I would say was, though, he had a go in the fair, he got the ball, he tried to take people on. You know, we... It seems he always is, really. He can have games. He can have really good games for Everton. It's not often an Australian, obviously you don't want to run the team after some of the reports of what's happened. But yeah, we do need a bit of strength and depth. There's evidence, especially in those four days. Are you worried? I mean, a few people, Matt, I'm going to say you'll know Matt, is of nervous disposition. I understand why they are. Oliver, as well, who speaks to me, they get worried, they get late in the window. We've obviously got to try and get players. It's still three or four, three or three and a half weeks away. If we start getting the players in, I think obviously the Zoomer one is a waiting seat, because I guess the club can't wait forever, so we might see a change in tact, or you may see rumours pop up that we're looking for different players to force Chelsea's hands. Because we're rumoured to be at, was it here to Billins training ground watching players? I don't know, that's true on that. Because the three players they mentioned, only one of them is realistic, to be honest with you, but yeah. Because we're not looking for a left back for 20 million. Davy Selker, he's not scoring 10 goals on the Premiership as far as I'm concerned, so. And Rhechik's a good player, he's left us a centre back. But yeah, I think if you're worried, yes, you probably, as an Evertonian, if I was going to put my fan ass on, I'd always be worried, but it wouldn't have asked our brands them just not anymore. No, I'm the shit, I mean. You've won it done quickly. I'd love nothing better than to be shat here with you now, going, that wasn't it brilliant, the way Malcolm went past those three players. Oh yeah, because I want them in pre-season, so they can get develop understandings. But ultimately, it only matters when the window shuts. Magnificent of saying what we want to play, where we want players, so waiting for Maguire. The team's ahead of us having signed a lot of players. The market's been quite slow, it seems to be waiting for the big deals to get done, and then the money will start flowing round Europe. So yeah, if everyone had signed, everyone would be with the last club to sign it, and then you may be worried, but it's just the market this year, everyone seems to be waiting each other out. It's weird, isn't it? I mean, I've done this on a transfer show last week. We were just saying about trends in the transfer market, but are we seeing a situation now where clubs are having to go, we've got to shift a few players here, rather than just willingly bouncing out, grabbing players seems to be a real need for a lot of clubs, even the big clubs to get people to the door. I think that the loan rules are changing, aren't they? Because you can't carry as many players. So when the once-the-loan rules change, you can't carry 10, 15 players, you can't send those alone. So you can't have those players sitting on money around the club. So that will all have to change. But yeah, a lot of teams are waiting for players to go. Magnificent don't know what's going to happen with Pogbaer, Arsenal, whether they've got money or they don't have money and they want to get rid of O's. So they're trying to get these players off the books, but... And we're no different, are we? Obviously, you've seen stories of business to over the weekend, going to the door, and people... I think we'll get, like, anti-robs will probably go, but I think we'll get a few of them off the books. Obviously, Satan plays like Balasi, he's going to be back from African combination duties and he's soon, but them type of players, it'd be wise if you were buying clubs to wait to the end of the window, because the price is lower, but if your hand is tied, then it's easy to get a better loan deal. So that's what generally... So I wouldn't worry if Balasi's still sitting at 11 on the last day, he'll probably go by, you know, about five o'clock or whatever the time, transfer window ends. That's the nature of the game. We've just got, I suppose, leaving it up to Marco and Marcel to do their stuff. Yeah, they've got it all in hand. I don't think before and second, they're like, okay, assume that. They've got a list of targets. They've spoke to agents, they've sounded them out. Where the teams are ready to sell, because some teams will go, well, we need to find someone to replace them. So then you're waiting on that, and that can be the game, really. Just waiting as a fan, isn't it? Because you've... Let's be honest, not never at quick enough for us as fans, does it? No, the first of July, we'd be sitting there, all the players are in, ready to start pre-season, but how often has that happened? I don't think it's ever happened, to be fair. Never, so nil nil, we move on. Monaco, be some nice players to watch for Monaco. If you want a game to watch, use it off there, yeah. Yeah, it'll be, yeah. Come and give him a hug on the sideline. On a coach, nice. Jenny, on a coach. Be great. Let's hope we see some goals from Evan. Yeah, you probably will. I think more of the first team will play, I guess, and they'll probably start the game, and then they'll probably... And it'll probably be, again, it's another, well, four days away. The step of the levels will be up a little bit more. I'm not too sure if he's run on double sessions, because last year he was running sessions in the morning and then playing the afternoon. Yeah, they have the barefooty, and now they have me done. They've done three sessions on a couple of days, but on... So on satty, they just done one session. Right, so they are using the game's fitness, then, yeah, so there you go. Then obviously they're not trying to burn them out too much, so hopefully by the time the season rolls round, they'll all be fit and ready to go. There you go, nil nil, not many moments of action for us to cheer over. Now the Blues backing action on Friday against Monaco. What did you take from it? Did you take anything from it? Did you ever take anything from pre-season? Did you ever get excited or terrified by what you see in pre-season, or is it just a case of it's a fitness exercise? Now I've seen a lot of people not bothered by it and going it. It's fitness UK's, but I've seen some people who are very concerned with evidence lack of transfer activity. Let us know what you think in the comments. It's a big thanks to Andy and hopefully the next final word will be talking about a win and some goals. Thanks for watching, see you later.
