 Welcome to ToffeeTV, it is the match preview Everton vs Sheffield Wednesday, fourth round of the FA Cup this Sunday evening. Strange time. Very strange time Sunday evening. But now we've got a really, really good chance for Evan to get through. This is the kind of fixture we would want. Sheffield Wednesday is an old fashioned big club. Big club in our eyes because we grew up with them in the football league and the Premier League and obviously maybe for younger fans they don't see it the same. They're struggling at the moment in the bottom three, actually below brother Amanda who we played in the third round. But with ten days or so off that Evan have had, this is a really good opportunity isn't it to get through to that fifth round. Yes, the kind of time you want is when you're looking to build momentum into a cup competition and that's not being disrespectful to Sheffield Wednesday but I think Evan will be looking where they are in the season, where Evan. You've got Sheffield Wednesday, you know second to bottom in the Champions. You just change the manager. You know they've got Neil Thompson, the manager at the moment, he's an acting manager, interim manager. They have had Gary Munk this season and Tony Pulas had ten games and he left the post recently so they're in a little bit of a flux. They've lost ten of the twenty-four games I think it is so they're not in great form. So for Evan it represents an excellent chance of getting through to the fifth round. Another home tie in the fifth round which is great, albeit it could be a tough game against Spades if they can get past Wickham. So it's a good opportunity but we found out against Rotherham that if you don't play to your full potential then Sheffield Wednesday will prove a difficult game definitely. Yes, because at the end of the day they've had their problems this season and they've missed the last couple of games as well, having to deal with Covid related post-pollinments. So they look at this game as probably just a break, a big opportunity. There's no fans there and I thought against Rotherham that would be a big difference but it wasn't. For us it seemed to be a problem because we just couldn't get ourselves going on the day and I suppose that's one of the things for this game isn't it? There's going to be a couple of changes I imagine. I don't know whether there'll be as many changes as there was in the last round because we've seen in the league cup how we started off with a completely different team and then as we progressed we started adding the quality first team players to it. There was still enough in the Rotherham game really should have dealt with it because I think just different players coming from different positions and people coming back from injuries and so it made it very difficult. Even though we got started in the game we took the lead we never really continued that and I just wonder whether that will come into the thinking for this game because there's three games next week but because we have had that 10 days off I just wonder what the manager will do in terms of the start and line. Obviously the court will start because he'll be missing Wednesday against Leicester so that's a big bonus I think the fact that he starts on a bonus that he misses but Leicester but it's just one of those things but I think the more consistency we have on the side the easier we'll have to obviously go and do the job we need to do. Yeah I think Martin will change the goalkeeper. Martin is an old snow player as he did against Rotherham and obviously pick for came back for Wolves didn't he and we haven't played since but I imagine old snow play and then it's a case of trying to it is different because you know against Rotherham it was getting players trying to give a few people a little bit of a rest give them an opportunity of a breather while we you know because the games are coming up they come fast again but it isn't the case this time so it'll be interesting to see what he does centre back you know what his centre back partnership will be he was left yerry meaner out of the Rotherham game you know he was on the bench and he ended up having to come on and can the defence down because they they were having some joy through the middle and obviously you know depends what he does with with the back four really I think that's an interest and one does James Coleman play I think Coleman probably will and I think Mason Holgate will could drop down to the bench with Leicester City in mind and does Luca Dean play a left back you know and give him another game to get and all doesn't he didn't bring in Kung Kuwin against Rotherham because obviously it was Dean's comeback game so does Dean just continue that you know what does what does that mean for Ben Goffrey so there'll be those kind of decisions which you know it makes sense to play someone like James Coleman because I think Mason Holgate it seems at the moment is the number one right back in Carlo Antilotti's eyes at this moment in time and so shame is he's got to try to keep that fitness up ready and force his way back in and then into the midfield like you just said the core I'll play and I don't think he would have done had he not been suspended but I think he will I think he'll obviously probably have Tom Davis in there and and maybe you know maybe a gilfy Sigarton will start because he didn't start against Rotherham but then he played up front against Wolves so it'd be interesting to see whether if Dom and Calvert-Lunes fit if this is the game they bring them back for just to get them back up to speed with Leicester in mind or whether it's it's Retialis and through the middle or whether it's Shank Towson again he played against Rotherham so it is going to be interesting he's got some decisions to make I mean if Dom's fit do you play him just to try to I mean he played against CFWed last year and scored a couple of goals you play him in this one just to try and get him a goal again because he's gone five or six games without a goal and as a centre forward that always plays on your mind when you stop scoring no no enough of me you won't play him I'll play with Charleston up front and I've done on the bench and bring him on for the last 20 minutes just to see if he needs to yeah no point I wouldn't play either both of them in the team I think we've got the options to mix it about a little bit I think we can mix it about and still have a good side I think I think I'll play a woby again yeah I'd play a woby and hammers maybe hammers I don't know maybe playing what do you think is you've got to I'm not saying you've got to worry about what they're going to do but I think the last game which was completely obviously different for different reasons like said Dean and Hammers and Degas were coming back into the side so but there wasn't just wasn't just plays like Shank Towson coming into the side there was plays you've been out injured as well coming back and I felt that's where they felt really they had more energy than us and I just wouldn't I think with Hammers and Degas being back and with you know with Dean having played at Wolves they can go in and there'll be there'll be a lot more fresher for this you know a lot more sorry a lot more up to speed on it and they'll have that freshness as well so we know someone like Sheffield Wines they're gonna have a lot of energy and they're gonna you know that's what they're gonna they're gonna try and overrun us at times but at the end of the day then the bottom three in the championship and if you can't cope with that then I'm then if you can't cope with a team just physically trying to dominate your own or you know what do more do more those little you know those little things then what's the point you know what I mean it's like because that was the point when we played with them is we didn't seem to have a control for like an hour because they just kept on turning us really really quickly and then once like you just said their meaner came on and and stopped the out ball and the core they come on we've got a clip of that really quickly so I think it was energy in midfield yeah we had in midfield that day we had Andre Gomez who started really well and then just after 20 minutes faded for a bit Tom Davis was in there and was a little bit sloppy in possession you know and but with Hamas coming back who wasn't up to speed you know where is against Gordon wasn't getting back so there was there was some you know there was reasons why I mean it's not acceptable because they're all very good football well they're all Premier League football Hamas is obviously talent above but I mean the others are Premier League footballers and so he would have expected Andre Gomez to be able to dominate that but it seems at the minute with him his cameos are better than when he starts but I think he will start this game because I think to keep him fresh for those 20 minute cameos in the Premier League he's got to play games but that's not a bad thing if you've got the energy of a Decori in there which I might which we will have because you'll start with missing I think the midfield three will probably be Decori Gomez and Davis I shouldn't match him I think he'll feel probably be sub again just to keep him with Leicester in mind and then you're right maybe he'll maybe he'll throw it to Arles and through the middle and have a woe we once said and maybe someone like Bernard on the left and maybe Hamas will sit on the bench just in case but whatever we do we have to have we've got to be able to match them they've got Premier League experience playing do you think we need to keep that consistency at the back because like I wouldn't necessarily put the blame down on the defenders for the last game because I think like you just said the midfield got overdone at times and the defenders were always sort of on just backpedaling at times so I just wonder whether keeping that consistency or you can move it around because all those players have played this season haven't they you know whether Ben Goffy comes in the centre back and you know from left back and put you've got Luca Deane to drop in there and like you just said Mason Allgate might start keen to keep the consistency you've got you've got different variations but they're all players you've played haven't they so it's not it's not it's not too air-shaping you're not going to be bringing anyone into that back line who hasn't played a you know a dozen games this season or more no there'll be there'll be if he makes the two changes a full back it'll obviously make us not as solid but it'll give us an extra tachin input to swan it because obviously both James Colman and Luca Deane like to get full what he does a centre back will be really interesting because he might not think well I don't want yet he means it to have to play three games in six days um I imagine Michael Keane will start yeah so maybe he'll go with Goffrey and Keane at centre back or maybe he'll give Holgate to go and say to Goffrey well you have a rest now because you've played loads of games you've got a game again on Wednesday because it's going to be interesting because Luca Deane is is fit again and obviously needs to play as our most creative player with Thomas against Wolves he played left wing yeah and I know it wasn't perfect but at times he was great for the outball and it's just this this quality and we had an assist in the game and I thought they had a really good game that was his first Premier League game back but then you know what you do there's going to be a time when Ben Goffrey you know Luca Deane goes back in at left back so I wonder if Everton will because the Coray's not fit for the Leicester game whether Everton will continue to use Luca Deane there it might just to give them a different ball in in the Leicester game so for this one I just don't think he was fit I just don't think he was fit I think a child in the last game in the last cup game I think he was horrendously he's back in six weeks it's unbelievable he was horrendously off the pace and he wasn't fit and I think for the Wolves game they've looked at that and gone right let's be solid at the back you play midfield where you can get a few more bravers in and do what you need to do higher up the pitch so would you play him in this game? Of course I would have played him left back he's out left back Ben Goffrey's not out left back there's no way you can but with Leicester in mind so you'd still play him this one. I play him in all three games there shouldn't be any excuse now he's played he's played an hour against in the last cup game and he's played 19 minutes in against Wolves and he's had 10 days now to build on to that fitness and he should be available to now for these three games without a problem he's one of the best left backs in the world don't care what anyone says about that I'm not getting into any arguments about who's the best or whatever but he's one of the best left backs in the world you know so you need to be by left back okay and we need to find that way of being solid and balanced going forward there is by playing three centre backs so and I don't mean three as in a back three like Holgate or Goffrey at right back with the two centre backs because that gives us the opportunity. The manager then has to make the decision eventually if he's going to play if he's going to play Mason Holgate, Ben Goffrey on that side is he going to put one of them in midfield or is he just going to say fight for your place lads. That's simple, that's simple. Seamus Coleman's not ready for the scrappy yeah I'm not saying he should be and ask that and line up every week but he's only 32. Fight for your place. Be like Leighton Baines if you have to play 15 games a season be brilliant for 15 games a season. But also Seamus Coleman's the kind of kind of man who will work incredibly hard every day in training to push the other two and if the other two if one of them gets past them then he'll probably eat the kind of food and be like well that's all this is is bringing for the club and if you do drop your level he'll be back in so that's what it's about but well be like I said it'd be a tough game there's some big decisions to make because it's a big game if ever when they're in the fifth round you know against like I said it could be spares it could be wicked you'd expect it to be spares of course you would if it's top and it's a great opportunity to get in the quarterfinals all you can do is ask for home games isn't it. It's sad though isn't it like when you look at a club like Sheffield Wednesday because I always think we had the faith that that was going to happen to us what's happened to them. I think probably a lot of clubs from the sixth down because the money that you get higher up and then the backing you get enables you to make good choices Sheffield Wednesday have been a traditional big club you know have been around for years and years in terms of Premier League football okay they've been out of it for a while now but for us growing up yeah but they they're a club that they're a club that just couldn't adapt I don't think to the Premier League I think they're just one of those clubs they're an old-fashioned run club but that's what I'm saying where we just clung on to where we just clung on to where it all I think they they you made some bad decisions no no that's what I'm saying you made some really really I think some of them bad appointments chase the dream and don't forget they had like they had some players the Kaneo wonderful Benito Cabo and he was a great little player for them David Est was I loved him as a striker and to Devon to get him and he nearly joined Devon a couple of times he was fantastic you know and they had good players like Nicholas Alexander's and you come to Evan and okay they didn't work out but they've always had you know thingy the right back rolling nails and I loved him he was a boss you know and they had people you know going back years they were Chris Woods I think was in for them but they had Kevin Pressman who was a a boss goalie and he got to his days he's got the greatest penalty I've ever seen him he like just smashed it right down the middle yeah but they've had they've had you know good players and they've got a good history and you know being to Hillsborough Lowes at times and you know you're right they just some bad decisions and it's that old thing of unable to attract big backers at a time when it was all about money you had to be run really smart and unfortunately they weren't like a lot of clubs have done it they weren't and for me that a club that absolutely should be in the Premier League or should be fighting and yet there's a generation of kids who don't no well they wouldn't of course but I look at but I'm saying that's football now though isn't it? Chef Weatherville has had like 30,000 the gates you know brilliantly supported great football cities Sheffield with them and Sheffield United you know Sheffield United are in there at the moment and stuff like that so big club but they've got experience plays I was just going through the scum you know Callum Petersen who was at his cardiff wasn't he and thinking he was at Norwich and they've got Dominic Hayoff who seems to have been on forever just win that's their names you know Barry Bannon you know these are all lads who've got Premier League experience coming into you know Cairran Westwood was a goal he ever seemed to be linked with every year for a few years ago so you know on say Green had left Filler and has gone there so they've got plays if we're not careful Jordan Rhodes who I think for every transfer window for about six it was should they ever buy him and you know because he was prolific wasn't he in the lower leagues and you know I think it didn't quite work out but he's there so there's players who you've got to you've got to be aware of there's no question about that and obviously young Adam Nguyen who was at Evan he hasn't made his day before but he's gone left Evan to go to Sheffield Wednesday in September so they've got plays who will have to you know who will fancy a game against the Premier League team we've been in the Premier League before we can you know can we make a name for ourselves so Evan have got to be really really aware of this one of the weekend and look to the Rotherham game and see yet we started great we got the goal but what didn't we why did we stop playing was it the fact that they were able to flip the game I don't think it was I think they looked at us and went after 20 minutes these have took the foot off the pedal here and they started getting all the Sunday into the game and they started pushing us back and we didn't react and everything do this in a lot of cup games against lower league teams or teams you stay in the same pace yeah stay in the same gear sorry before you know it before you know it you're the opponent are making chances and you know you're sluggish and you can't get out of that gear might might have just been in that game that we had too many players either coming into the team you know out the cold or coming back from engineering it was just a poor make as you said before me feel was completely over running that game completely overrun you know we're carrying Hamas Rodriguez to be honest he was a he was a passenger for most of the game I mean he set up the winning goal because that's what he does but he was a passenger for most of the game he's you know he looked like playing and started you know Andre Gomez was just getting on him his touch wasn't great Gordon was the same you know we like a bright start so it's just it's about having the right mindset and as I said the right the right it's picking the right team it doesn't have to be to start the best start 11 it doesn't have to be a start strongest it shouldn't have to be playing a team in the bottom three of the of the championship and you know these these players should be able to carry themselves and get through you know have the right mindset like the mindset that you know got his wins last time out and you know you've got to go out and you've got to give them the ultimate respect and treat them as if the a team at the top of the Premier League and go and wear his socks off and if you do that that's when good teams put these teams to bed early on and then the games done after an hour you know you're two or three in the you know two nails scary school line forever but if you were three in a low after an hour you then can go right you come and sit with me now mum will put them the five subs as well it enables you to give the fresh legs for the last half an hour of the game it's when you go in and like you said you never change your level do you know what I mean you start off for a pace and you go oh we're on top here we've got a goal and now this will be comfortable before you know it they flip it a couple of long balls the winner netters and you start getting navy and you know it's a game that's going to be decided on the night as well so get it done and dusted as early as you can yeah definitely there you go let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one it's difficult to analyse as well because they haven't played for the last couple of games we have we haven't played for 10 days so it's a difficult one to know where we all are at the moment and the weather's been absolutely horrendous as well so it'll be interesting to see what good this is like because I've no good listen the last time we played I thought it was poor but that's a general thing I think a lot of the football pitchers support at the moment I don't know whether that's down to not being able to look after them properly or not be able to get the right equipment in there you know the big lights or whatever I don't know you can come with the COVID and everything I don't I don't know but pitches generally look round the Premier League look look quite poor and the weather's been we have bad rain we've had snow that they might need me to get over here the snake pass might be shot the snow forecast Saturday Sunday so they come over Saturday Monday but the snow forecast Saturday Sunday so again that will play into the pitch won't it I think there's no doubt it'll be on for the simple reason that there's no crowd coming up so that's normally what it is so be a tough game but hopefully we can do enough yeah let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one what team would you like to see picked ahead of obviously Leicester and Newcastle come up in the Premier League as well I mean so we want to get to well we don't want a good cup run we want to win the bloody thing no one's happy with a good cup run let's get to semi-final lose we'll have kind of a cup if we had a good cup run in the quarters we've never won it so we've never had people go like go cup run and seven in the league just say you want to win it you want to win it they want to win it that's all you want you want to win the FA Cup so this is you know I mean this is not where the big begins because against well but you know gotta carry on leave us your thoughts in the comments give this video a like
