 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the start on the 11th show, the retain of the Premier League. God, it feels like it just went so quickly, but we're back, we're back at Gooderson Park, a nice three o'clock Saturday afternoon kick-off, we all love those ones. And hopefully it might be a little bit sunny for the first game of the season. How it should be. Let's get into it for Everton in goal. Jordan Pickford, of course, Evans number one starting goal. Flat back four, my centre backs. I'm going to go with James Tarkowski and I'm going to go with Jared Branthwaite as my centre backs. Is it too early for Jared Branthwaite? I don't know what a do now is. There's only there's only one way he's going to get experience and game time and that's playing games. I think next to James Tarkowski who thankfully is fit to play. That gives us a good balance. Listen, Jared Branthwaite will make mistakes. I think it's important we stay patient with him. The alternatives of Michael Keane. We know what Michael Keane offers, we know what he offers and Ben Godfrey. I'm not convinced on Ben Godfrey. I think Ben Godfrey might start, but I'm not necessarily convinced. He's an athlete, he's got pace, but is he a natural defender? I'm not sure. So I'm going to go with Jared Branthwaite next to James Tarkowski. At right back, Nathan Patterson, he's played all pre-season. He's got to stay fit this season. He's just got to. We've got alternatives with Chamber's Coleman. Obviously not available just yet to come in in case Patterson's not available, but Patterson needs games. He needs a real good runner games now because he's still not up to the absolute Premier League level. He's still got lots to learn physically. I think he's got to grow as well, but I'm going to go for him. On the other side, I'm going to go with Ashley Young as the starting left back. Michael Enco hasn't had much of a pre-season and I also think Ashley Young as the starting left back would probably be better. A lot of experience, still looks fit as a fiddle. He'll be someone who plays a lot of games I think this season and will prove to be a really good free transfer. For me anyway, I think he will. Into midfield, Idrissa Ghanagai, someone who I thought had a good season last season, for me will start in there. Protecting the back four, holding them all together again, gives you tremendous experience. Next to him, O'nana, who has looked good as well in the games he's played in pre-season, looked very good last week against Sporton. Big season for him, time for him to step up and grab all of this Premier League and grab all of this team as well. He can have a massive influence on this evidence. He might think moving forward, so he starts in there and ahead of those two, I'm going to keep it with Decore. I think for the season start and getting that consistency and from last season, obviously he was the big hero in the last game of the season, Decore starts for me. Listen, things might change over the season, but I think right now, I think it's important we have that continuity in the middle of the park. People might say, well, you play James Garner, but I think for me, I'd have Decore in there, breaking from midfield. On the right-hand side, I'm going to go for Alex O'Wobee, again keeping that consistency, having someone who can come in from the right, obviously very creative, creates chances, has to do better this season, has to score more goals. Obviously a big question mark over his future, going into his last year of his contract. He'll be under pressure, I hope anyway in the next couple of weeks, as Everton looks to sign more players and players move positions. There's a few more options, let's say, when that window shuts, so he's going to be under pressure. He is someone who could play centre as well, so up for him to prove that this season. On the left-hand side, I'm going to go with Dan Dume. Hasn't played there yet for Everton, obviously he's only had a few minutes in pre-season, obviously he's starting against Stoke, up front, but I'm going to have him off the left-hand side, that's his natural position. Hopefully he is a goal threat, hopefully he helps us create chances and hopefully he heals some wounds, let's say, from January, when some fans were very angry with him. And up front, I'm going for Dan, I'm going to Carmelun. Why not? He's played minutes in pre-season, I know Sean Dice has talked about the plan, but I think he's been sneaky there, I think he's ready to go. Listen, if it's a gamble, then I don't really want to play him, and maybe we'd move the team round a little bit, maybe I'd play Dan Dume or up front, maybe I'd play Michael Lenkall at left back and actually playing left midfield, but in an ideal world where Dominic Carmelun is fit, and the manager said he's fit, he's not fit fit, but he said he's fit, then I'm going with Dominic Carmelun. So that's my start on 11, let me know your thoughts in the comments. Listen, it's just the first game of the season, things change as the season goes on, if Brandsbury doesn't start, it's not the end of the world, if Dominic Carmelun doesn't start, it's not the end of the world, it's just the first game of the season. Let's get to Gullison Park, make it a great atmosphere, make it the best possible atmosphere we can to, to get over the line, make it positive and move forward together.
