 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is my three talking points, Everton One, Ashton Villa One, at Gwdysan Park tonight in the Premier League. It wasn't very good was it. Let's get straight into it. First thing I want to talk about is Dominic Calvert-Loone. I've seen him getting stick off people, you know, he's not very good, he's back to normal, it's this and it's that. You know, and it's true, he's not playing very well at the moment, there's no question about that, he wasn't in the game tonight really, but he had two half decent, well now he had one excellent chance and another one very early on that he tried a bicycle kick over. But I think for Dom, this season I think he's done really well. I think particularly since, you know, Marco Silva left, he had a real up turn, he scored eight goals in the 11 Premier League games and okay, you know, he should have had the winner against United, that was choked off. Since we've come back from lockdown, he's not being at his best, but I don't understand people who are just slagging him off and saying he's not good enough, he's not this, he's not that. You've got to be creating three or four chances again for him, you know, when we're not, he's living off scraps. Yes, he's got to do much better in the chance go home, even if he's not confident, get hold of it and lay it back or let it run through your legs and well cut as it's happening. But I think it's still a little bit early to be writing him off, he's the top scorer, we've got 14 goals this season and who knows, he was in a great vein of form before lockdown, who knows if we would have carried on playing at that level, he wouldn't, you know, we might have ended up with 20 goals. Let's see how he does, but I think it's a little bit early to be writing him off, I don't think he's a problem at the minute. Is there, if there was another striker available, you've got your guaranteed goals, of course you try to bring him in and then it's up to him and Richie Arleson to try to get in the team alongside or whatever that may be, but I don't see anything doing that at the minute. Moise Keane, for whatever reason, isn't a viable option at the moment, the manager sees him every day in training and doesn't start him, you know, an Italian manager with an Italian striker, you'd think he would have got to go and he hasn't, he's coming on with 20 minutes left of games, so I just think it's a little bit early to be calling Dom, but saying that, you know, it's another poor performance from him really tonight. Second thing I want to talk about, I said I was going to do this on every video till the end of the season, it's the midfield because every week we just move the pieces around and it's the same kind of performance. Why did it take till five minutes left of a game of losing for Andre Gomez to start showing us what he can do when he runs with the ball? You know, he should have been on the right from the very start, now he might think he hasn't got the legs to compete for 90 minutes, I don't know, I don't know his physical attributes. I haven't spoken to Yannach Balasi this week, you know, check it out if you haven't, he talks about that coming back in the adrenaline and then the other stuff that goes with it and that maybe there's something like that going on with Gomez at the moment where we're playing every three days and his ankle's swelling off the games or maybe he's worried about it, I don't know. But what he showed in the last five minutes is everything that we know he's got, it's the kind of form he showed at Valencia. We haven't seen it for the first 85 minutes, he was terrible. You know, he's the one player who we've got who can get on the ball and can create things and keep us ticking over and in the first half especially he was getting caught in possession again and he tries to go past someone and he falls over or he takes the ball off him and it's a bit of a worry. Tom Davies alongside him played within himself in the first half trying to do his job of tucking in and he was okay but it's not what we need, we need energy in that midfield, we need players from our midfield based on into the opposition boxers and neither of them do it, they're both behind the play all times whether that's nowhere near attacking or whether that's chasing the opposition back, they can't get near them and it's a real problem and then in wide areas Bernard started off really brightly for the opening 20 minutes and then just went that way and Wobe was really poor in the first half and ironically he got better in the second half and then was taking off, he put a brilliant crossing which Calvert-Lewins should have got on the end of no excuses. But then why isn't he doing that from the start? Why isn't he beating his man and crossing it? Instead of coming in, R2 wide players just run in field and then there's nothing. It's just infuriating, you look at that in the field and you think we've spent a hell of a lot of money on players and we can't compete from an athleticism point of view. How's it got to that? It's one area that I don't need to address massively and I know we're doing this and the news has broke that we've put a bid in for Pierre Emil Hoiburg at Southampton and he will break the play-up, he's not someone who's going to get in the box all the time but he can get around a pit, he's better than what we are, he's a starter and that's a positive sign but we need more, we need another one coming in with him, we need a right winger who can get up and down or he's pacing, he can cut in and have a go. Tien dyl ond is one, I'd love but there's others out there you know maybe, I don't know, maybe Ryan Fraser cos he's free, I don't know but we need something off that right hand side that can unlock teams or get into the box. Wellcott showed it in little patches near the end but he's not good enough to do it for 90 minutes every week. I look up an ad now and I think for all the technical ability that he's got and he shows some lovely little flashes of play it's not enough, a woe be, good player him maybe a 10 but he's really cut out to be off the wide areas, I don't know it's a worry so that midfield is one area that needs major surgery this summer otherwise everything will be struggling next year. And anti lot he's not come here to see, to have a team that struggles. Tactically he's got us points, him and Duncan Ferguson have got us points after Michael Silver couldn't get us them and anti lot he's won us a lot of points cos it's tactical awareness but the midfield isn't fit for papers and it needs so now very quickly and Marcel Brands the eyes are on you, they really are cos you've got to come up with some plays you can compete at this level. I'm going to finish with a positive cos I'm aware that they're two negatives and the positive is Jared Branthwaite third and final points he came on into this game after 15 minutes making a hole gate who trained yesterday without any issue was in the starting line up but quite clearly he's got a problem with his shin whether it's the muscle or it's a shin it's a bone injury I'm not sure but he could only last 15 minutes and it's a big blow cos he's been one of our better performers. And Branthwaite came on and I know what's in this year, I know Pet was a little bit worried about them when he come on but the pair of us said after 10 minutes he's on it, he's in the game he was straight into the game he was good on the ball, used the ball intelligently. A couple of times I caught out, I've given old and under shiats and given three kicks away, not to something that he's got to take out of his game but I thought he candid the game brilliantly, clever in possession he's both feet competed well. Twch o wach of Tyrone mings in the head within a couple of minutes of coming on but got duster themselves up and got on with it and at 18 years of age looks a really good prospect, don't want to put massive pressure on him but he looked really good and there's no reason now with especially a bit Mason Hulgate being injured and yeti meaner having that muscle injury, there's no reason to rush meaner back especially because there's only going to be a quick turn around of a couple of weeks before pre-season starts. So ad quite happily see Branthwy play alongside Michael Keane if Mason Hulgate isn't going to be fit and he's another one you look at and think is it better now just resting him so that he's available for the start of pre-season like I say two weeks is going to be so. He's the positive for me tonight on a night when really there was only him and I'd say Luca Dean who could have got any of the plaudits tonight I think the rest of them were way off. So you know ti ar y Branthwy well played tonight thought he done really well. There my three things make sure you check out our exclusive interview with Yannick Balasi that's an excellent interview.
