 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the match preview, Everton vs Wolves Sunday in a must-win game for the Toffys. Let's get it right there. The results were kind to us in the mid-week and we've got to get something. We've got to get three points here to get us away because a couple of wins in the next home games. If we could do that, it would be absolutely huge for us because teams at the bottom are not winning. We've got all these games in hand, but obviously this weekend going into this, we could be in the bottom three again. So this is a huge game isn't it? It really is. So it's week 29 of Ultimate Fan and the pack has dropped. It is time to find out who I've got this week. Here we go. The free base pack, the one you get for free every single week if you download the Ultimate Fan app. That's who I've got. I've got Romero from Tottenham. Tottenham playing twice this week. I've got Gomez from Liverpool playing twice this week. And I've got Manchester United as my team. There you go. Right, here comes the goal pack for 99 a month. You get two guaranteed goal cards and a silver card plus other special offers. Here we go. I've got Johnny Evans from Leicester. I've got Tiago from Liverpool. That's not a bad midfielder. And I've got Gunder one from Manchester City. There you go. Not bad at all. Also I've got a free winners card this week because I won my mini group. So that's who I've got. I've got Veltman from Brighton. There you go. You can go in the squad. Right, it is time to pick my squad. So obviously very, very heavy Manchester City. Harry Kane obviously scored a couple of goals last week as well. He's banging form. Do I change that team whatsoever? I look at the squad and I just think, is there anyone else who can go in there and make a difference? Oh, I'm not sure. I think Mason Mount backing a little bit of form. Do I put him in for Phil Foden? Phil Foden's playing well. Most salad hasn't been scoring goals of late, but Liverpool got a game against Brighton. So I expect them to win that game. Do you know what I'm going to put? Marners is a forward to where I have to take Kane or Salah out. I don't know. I don't know. Do you know what I'm going to put Marners in and I'm going to take out Mo Salah. There you go. Marners is in and I'm going to give him the golden boot. He's in the team. There you go. Don't forget, get your team picked by 12.30 Saturday afternoon. That is the deadline. The games run till Thursday next week or seven are playing Newcastle. So make sure you check out.

If you haven't done all the deals with fan app, make sure you go and do it now. The link is in the description. There you go. Yeah, it's a massive game. We've had some tricky games of late, but the whole game, the start of two-one games in four days, Evan have got to press that home advantage. We have four-one games on the Franck Llympard in two in the cup and two in the league. We won three of them and we were unlucky to lose to City. So that goes to me being okay. We've looked quite good away from home as a different story. I'm hoping that Wolves will just smash off a fawn ill. I'm hoping that they've not had much rest. We can just have the edge over them and get the three points. I think it's set up that Newcastle game brilliantly. I think it alleviates a lot of fear and worry for everybody. Just to get that win and feeling back again. Had we had a different opposition against City, I think we'd have won that day. And then maybe gone to Spades and you lose, you come back home. Because we haven't won for a couple of weeks, people are nervous again. It is about momentum, isn't it? We haven't had any momentum, but like you just said, there are three wins out of four. A couple of them in the FA Cup, but it doesn't matter. You're at home. You're trying to build something at home. At least give fans something to cling on to. The way that holds, it's not just a record. It's the way we play in the way it is. It's just shocking, it really is. But at least if you can give fans something to cling on at home, that would be a huge boost. It's about two home games now. If we win this one, it takes us into the second one. Then people won't listen. No one will rely on the home form. No one will hang their hat on the home form. No one will know that, at least that, when we go and the fans play their part in it, that you're going to get some kind of response. And that's what we need this week again, don't we? We need a response. We've just had two defeats in the Premier League by two better teams with more clinical sides. Against Wolves, I do think there's an opportunity. Wolves had lost their three games before they played Wafford, haven't they? They didn't score a lot of goals until they played Wafford. But I do believe the day to be beaten, if we turn up, if we work hard, if we're a little bit organised, because ultimately that's what this Wolves side is. It's organised. Look where they are in the league. They don't score loads of goals. They've got talented players, of course, they've got talented players, but the more than anything, they're organised. That's whatever they've got to be. That's whatever they've got to be at home. And they already need the last game out against Manchester City at home, against the best team in the country. We looked organised, but one mistake cost us on the night. If we can be like that on Sunday, then I think it's a huge opportunity. It is. Wolves are a good side. They are tough to beat. They've lost the last couple of away games. That was as many as they'd lost in the previous 11. So they've been the ad-yorable, but they're all so you can get at them. Like I said, I'm hoping, hoping that Thursday night has just took a little bit of aradom. I know they won't 4-0, but it's still a game. You've got a day's rest, a day's training you're playing again. It can work the other way, sometimes momentum can keep you going, but for us, it's on us. Wolves are very much safe, no worries there. We'll finish our matting in the top 10 comfortably. So for Everton, it's all on us. The other way around, you'll be looking thinking, this is a must win for them and for us. Is it really? And that's the way I'm looking at it for now. But it's got to be about Everton. We play like we did against Leeds, play like we did against City. I think we'll have enough to beat them. Like I said, it's a difficult game. We do have some really good players, but we've got to start winning football matches, and most teams are difficult to play against in the Premier League, so it's about us. It's going to be interesting because obviously Wolves have some really good footballers. They're really good on the ball. They've got a good target, man. It must be one of the best teams in the last three or four years for scoring goals outside the box. The amount of goals they score that have come, these kind of players, they've been fantastic. You've got to be very wary of them, and it'll be interesting to see how they approach it, whether we let them off the ball, which is what I thought we should have done with space, and then let them off the ball a little bit and then press them high and try and catch it up there. It'll be interesting to see what we do tactically, because we have tried to match up, haven't we, with teams? We've tried to take the game to the opposition so far, and seeing it away from home, that's what's caught us out, hasn't it? But at home, it has given us something to get behind, because obviously the crowd, they're going to be huge on Sunday once again. I'm not making a rallying call, because I know that they'll be there. It will be interesting just to see the thought process going into the tactics. I think at home, I think he wants to play like that, and I think we want to play like that, don't we? We want to be the team that's attacking and going at teams away, I think, just right now, with this set of plays. It's not athletic enough, Jamie Carragher said the other night. There's no athleticism in the side, so if you're playing that kind of game and the ball breaks down, you're in trouble. You're the wrong side of the ball, because you can't recover. It's not quite the same goal as from the crowd. It seems to be able to manage it under flank lamp bar better, but Wolves do like to have a lot of the ball. For me, it simply comes down to working hard against them. If we match them and work as hard as we have done in the previous home games, and then we'll be all right. We do have quality in the final third, got Damari Greibach, Ritchie's there, Don's there. We've got Deli Alley to come on, Anthony Gordon. We have got players you can hear them in that final third. It can be tight defensively. That's a big thing for everybody. In midfield, we've got to be combative and make sure that we don't give room and never too much room on the ball to be able to switch it, get people running in. Nori running in one side, Joni running in the other. He's back from injury and Bolly's back as well for them. We know it'll be tough, but we have beat them in the last couple of seasons at home. Wolves being tight games to be fair. All the games against them have been quite tight early. I imagine Sunday will be no different, but we've got to ensure where the team comes out on top. I think if we do that, we'll set ourselves up nicely for getting a bit of momentum going. I was just looking there at the possession, it's interesting. The last two games, the game against Wafford, they had 66% possession at home. The game against Crystal Parity had 64% possession. One, they've won 4-0 and one, they've lost 2-0. In both games, they had five shots on target. One, they lose 2-0 and one, they win 4-0. They are very much, they do play the same way. Listen, if you're a fan, that's great. If you organise more times than not, then you're going to win games of football. So it is going to be a difficult game, but for us obviously after the other night, in terms of changes, what would you be looking at? Because there is an argument, and I know it's an argument that some of us would make you don't have to pick the team would say, change the hole back four. But you can't do that, can you? Let's be honest, you can't do that. So what can we do? I think Ben Goffrey will play. So it's whether he goes to three at the back, or he keeps a flat back four and changes one of the back four. I imagine if he changes one of the back four, it'll be Michael Keane that drops to the bench. I think he'll go with Goffrey and Holgate. Is that the right decision, give him all him in as it's good in the air? I don't know. He might go to three at the back, and then three, four, three, then you may be losing some of him in the field, because he'd go with Donnie van der Beichen, the Corae, that's just two. One's the legs and the other wants to get on the ball. So he leaves the three in there, and go, we're going to play with three and if we go three at the back, then someone's missing out, aren't they? Well, Anthony Gordon, probably missing out. So again, we are really into Lampard rain, so it's hard to understand this sort of process. You're absolutely right. On one hand, you want to go, actually, chase him as Coleman for this one, get Kenny out the side for this one, get Goffrey in, and Grant Whiting, you know, Goffrey in, you have Patterson right back and Michael and Cole left back. But that's a whole back four. That's not happening. So I am Matthew. Like I said, he keeps the four. Goffrey will play regardless of what it is. He talked about his press conference. He said, I thought it was interesting. He said, when you lose, you have two first choice centre backs. I thought that was interesting that he was making it no meaner than Goffrey has his first choice. Keen, on how we're going to act. I think we've always thought that. No, we have, but it's just interesting to hear the man at your side. Normally you say big players or whatever, for them to come out and say when you lose your first, basically your first choice, that we're left with the others and it's not the same. So, but I think Ben Goffrey will definitely, he'll definitely be in the side. So Wolves play three at the back. Will he just match it up and go, well, we're going to do what they do. My only worry with that is John Joe Kenny on the left hand side because it's about balance. If you're playing three, you've got to make sure that the person over on that left hand side can get forward and put the ball in the box. I know Kenny can get forward, but everything's back onto his right foot. So the chance has gone and I've got to leave. He's done fantastic moment the outside of his foot. But in general, it breaks down. We hadn't seen him get over the half-way line against Salt Hanson when he was there. We didn't see him get over the half-way line against City apart from early on when he hit the side net. You need someone. I'm not saying Michael Enkel bombs up in the hand, but naturally if he comes, assume he can take it across his body, it's on his left foot, he can play a pass. It's whether or not he thinks I go for the little bit more defence of certainty from Kenny than Michael Enkel. It is a tough one because there's no one who can really, there's no one who can really come in and make that difference. There's no one who can really come in and you go straight to it, it's going to be amazing. But you go to a three, you go to a three and then you have to look at the midfield situation. The problem is, with everything, this is the real issue is, because we don't have a hold the midfield there, which is, again I'll say it again, it's a crime that we never got brought in a proper defence of midfield there in January. The whole month and we've both played left right and centre, and when we needed a centre back and we needed a hold midfield, because we don't have a hold midfield and we never have that security in midfield. Unless he grabs hold of someone like Alan and says you've got to just sit in front of the back four, then we never have that security. So you never have that security to say if you are going to play a two in there, one is always going to sit and the other one could be moving. And then you fall back to camp on forward because you know you've got that security. Three, you lose someone, so you want someone to step out in your defence and almost become that three. But you can't rely on any of them, so we are where we are. He's got decisions to make, but Ben Godfrey coming back does allow to be a little bit more of a higher line knowing that he's got the pace to get behind and be physical. He's got big decisions to make, he really has. And then if you do go for a three, you change two, you go for a Godfrey, Branthwaite and one other, because there's an argument there that Branthwaite could come in as well. So especially after that performance, it wasn't just individually how to defend it. It was how to defend it as a unit. How to, you know, some of the goals you freeze frame the third goal out there all over the place. It's just like, you know, sometimes we have to massively get sorted out. You're not going to knock and see goals if you're not organised. It's just simply have to stop team scoring each and every goal. You're behind, trying to train games around. Early on, we had a good record of doing that. We haven't lately. It's going to be dead interesting to see what he does. Let's just have a little look at Wolves aside by Feist Wafford. So as you mentioned, he played the three, four, two, one. But they have poddansion on one side and Huang on the other dumped the off. When they played, it was not beat by them at Mollingew in November. Hymines was dropping into that number 10, though. Obviously, Benita's made a huge error that night and had got Batman and Alan as just the two in midfield and they just passed round us. Neither of them screened in front of the back four, so when Hymines killed us in the opening half an hour cos he was dropping into that and he got two in the loop. In the second half Fabian Delph come on and kind of shut that down and closed that area and we were all right from there. But it will be interesting. We could line up exactly the same. We could. We could. We could. We could. I don't think he'll drop Gordon because I think the reason why he won't drop Gordon is because number one he's been doing is that he's trialled that lift that it needs at times when he goes and chases which other players might not do. You're talking about the Marey Gray, he's a big player. So what do you do? Do you take Dom out and go with the go with the fluid mobile? See, I wouldn't have Dom on the team and I know that sounds again that's like counterproductive but I just wouldn't have him in this. I just, we've stopped crossing the ball and if we're not crossing the ball and we won them in the box we've got numbers from the front. And Retiala's and Anthony Gordon, people like that, I don't know if he's not brilliant at that but those two really are. So if Dom doesn't press anymore because he's just been told to stay in the middle. So if you're talking about trying to catch them out high up the pitch you want three fellas who are going to put them on and then you've got to say to Gray you've got to do the same what them two were doing. Retiala's done it really well against City Gordon so that the world will be to be fair. You have to do the same. Maybe Alex will play. All his premier league have come against world. Let's have a look at Raell Cymynes. Cos he's coming home coming back this season has made such a big difference obviously from such a bad injury. For focal points isn't he? 26 appearances, 23 starts 6 goals, 3 assists, 1.8 shots per game. He's the focal point and he's the out ball. He's the one they play through. The drop downs for the technical plays in behind, the runners. He does it superbly. When he came to Wolves people were like he hasn't really done much yet. He's gone on his debut in his 7. He's away in that 2-2 with Retiala's and got the goals. He's been fantastic signing for them. Wasn't the most prolific in Portugal since he's been here. I think he's scored in all 5 games against Everton so far. I think only Mo Salah has got a better record in the premier league. He's got 6-6 against Bournemouth. So he might as just up there so hopefully Everton will make sure there isn't 6-6 against us on Sunday. But he is a top-top player. Obviously we have to we've got to kick the week off the right way. The point we've got to start the week to give us that momentum going into the Newcastle game. If we can do that and get a little bit of daylight between us and those teams, put pressure on the likes of Leeds, the likes of Brenford, still have a couple of games in hand that we look at and just create some positivity and get rid of that anxiety as well which is all I'm going over because to be honest it is. At the moment we know it's not great but that's just how we can get something. Let's hope we can get the three points and you know the crowd does it bit and and then this time next week we're sitting here hopefully talking about two positive results going into that quarterfanner against Crystal Palace. Absolutely. Following a 2-1 win at Malangu in November Wolves were looking to complete their first league over Everton since 1972-73. Great. Since the start of 2021 when Everton lost 2-1 on her own to Westam. No, did we lose 2-1? Lost 1-0 didn't we? Lost 1-0, that's getting correct. No team has lost more Premier League home games than the Toffees. 13 scandals, isn't it? Everton have lost their last three Premier League games by a score of 8-0. They lost that a longer run and consecutively they've been outscoring a single goal between August and October 6. Collectively Everton players have made eight errors leading to a goal in the Premier League this season more than any other side in the competition. Grim, it's all Grim. It's all Grim. Alex will be scored in every game against him. There you go, back for the positive. Haven't read it on the bench. He's also scored for Arsenal. That's what it's about. There you go, he loves playing against Wolves but we don't love him playing for Everton. He's all right, he's all right. He's okay, he's okay. He's one of the best standards in Everton's history along with Michael Keane. There you go, there's no your thoughts in the comments. It's true, it's just a fact. It's a factual fact. Hit those two and check the ocean. Holy Trinity, Holy Trinity. Pawn for Pawn. Where's plays in Everton's history? I can't wait to see the back of all three of them. There you go, there's no your thoughts in the comments. I want to finish on a positive thought. It's a thought. Up the top.
