 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. The fallout continues after Everton's Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Southampton last night on penalties. Check out the final word for more on that. Marco Silva has defended the amount of changes he made last night in the game. He said it's normal to change the goalkeeper for this competition. I totally disagree with Marco on that. I think Jordan Pickford should have played it as simple as that. I think once you start messing with the back four, with your goalkeeper and two centre backs, you're trying to build up that relationship. I think it puts unnecessary uncertainty in your defence. I feel as though, if Stechlenberg was genuinely challenging Pickford for that position, then you'd go and see what he's trying to do. He's not. You know, if he played Jal Virginia, I think there'd be more at home. He's also obviously mentioned plays like Jeng Towson and said he's a first team and Snyddle is a first team and we get that. But I think when you make seven changes after saying that you're going to make a lot of changes, it kind of doesn't ring through. So I don't know what. I'm not putting it on silver, I'm just saying. He's made a mistake as far as I'm concerned. That being said, the players who come in have got to do more. They've simply got to do more when you're given the opportunity and they didn't. So, you know, we're out of it again. It's a disappointment. And we have to just make sure that, you know, we get it right on Saturday and have to tough game away at Leicester. And we'll have to see what happens there. But, you know, I just wish that we play as a stronger side as we can with maybe two or three changes, not wholesale changes. But it also showed me the areas that we are lacking and that is centre of the field and a centre forward. Jolyon Lescott, former Everton defender, has given an exclusive interview and said that Phil Jagger is still Everton's best defender, even at the age of 36. He said we haven't done well enough in buying defenders and he still thinks Jags is the best at the club. He said, obviously, Yeri Mina, he doesn't know much about him. Zuma and, you know, Michael Keane. So, interesting, I mean, let me know what you think. I think Jags can still do a job, but he shouldn't be first choice nowadays, I don't think. I think Keane and Zuma have done all right. We all want to see Yeri Mina. And obviously Mason Holgate, a young lad lad in this trade. So, you know, sit on the fence with Lescott's comments there. Still, you know, I get what he's saying about Jags. He's been a fantastic defender and knows how to read the game. But is he our best defender? I'm not so sure. Talking of Jags, Everton are looking to play a behind closed doors friendly journey into the international break to give Jags a game. They're also looking to try and give games to Yeri Mina, Andre Gomez and, you know, Seamus Coleman. Mae playing that if he doesn't go away with Ireland. I imagine he may play on Saturday Coleman at Leicester and then go away with Ireland. But certainly for Mina and Gomez, Jags Gaelgate, that would be really helpful. And Bernard, cos he just hasn't got enough game time. So it'll be interesting to see whether that comes off, but those players need games. Ross Barclay has said that he wasn't coached much of Everton, which doesn't come as a surprise. He talked about being, you know, Martin has used him as a number 10 when he's always been a 6 or an 8. He said he got in the team and he enjoyed it and he thought that Everton were going to go on and fight for titles and stuff. But it didn't quite work out and he felt as though a lack of coaching didn't help with his development. And I agree with him. I'm not saying Ross was perfect cos he's not. And I think he's got to take responsibility for his own game as well. But I totally agree with. You could tell he wasn't coached in the right way. He wasn't given advice, he wasn't moved. And obviously, Sari's doing that at Chelsea and he's enjoying his time at Chelsea. He said it was a difficult decision to leave Everton after 13 years. There you go. Jim White has apparently given an exclusive today saying, Alas your judgment of won't invest in Everton. Listen, he's already has invested in Everton. I think he will continue to invest in Everton more heavily, whether he comes on board officially. It probably doesn't suit Everton if he comes on board officially in all fairness. Because even if he come in with his 9 billion and he wanted to spend 5 billion of it on us, he couldn't because of FFP. But he can do it in other ways such as take the stadium, write or plough money and sponsor and other stuff. Or give money to Meshiri. There's a lot of ways to skin a cat. But I think he's already involved in Everton. So whether it's a fish or it's not, it doesn't really matter. But you know what, Jim White is exclusive today. They're not great, Addy, let's be honest. And finally Everton have been linked with Danny Wilber. He's not what I don't think he's what we need. But he knows we need a centre for, but that's for sure someone to challenge, geng toast and I don't think the ass is the answer and Dominic Calverloom for me isn't ready. So that's an area which we need to strengthen big time in January. If I had, you know, if I could buy plays who I think are realistic, Jamie Vardy had bringing because I think he'd be perfect for us. Or Roger Eagle, the lad at Seville. But Valencia isn't it, sorry. I think he's a fantastic player, he's direct. He's quick, he's not a great goal scorer. He does get goals, he's not prolific, but I think he's pacing direct and he should give us an extra dimension. Obviously, the likes of Troy Dini is being mentioned. We're going to get lots of names over the next couple of months.
