 Welcome to Toffing TV, it is my three talking points, Everton two boring wooden hill in the FA Cup fifth round at Gullison Park tonight. The Blues are through to the quarter-final where they will face Crystal Palace away. This is a tough game but it probably could have been worse. First thing I'm going to talk about tonight is the attitude and application of the players which I don't think was there. Not saying that Everton didn't try because he clearly did but just the way you approach these games, Everton were on a hiding to nothing with this game. They absolutely were, they won 7-8-0 people would say so what, it was a non-leating. If they got beat or it went to extra time it's embarrassing of course it is. It would have been catastrophic to lose but if it had gone to extra time it would be embarrassing. So they were on a bit of a hiding to nothing and getting through is ultimately the most important thing. But I just thought we just didn't have any intensity in the game whatsoever. And I know it's difficult when one team has got everybody behind the ball and Luke Gerrard had them organised brilliantly. They were so well organised. The first goals they've conceded in the competition tonight against us which shows you how unbelievably well they've done and how unbelievably well organised they are to go this far in a competition and not concede a goal till the fifth round is incredible. And they've played league opposition in two of the previous two rounds so they've done amazingly well. But from Everton's perspective and being a Premier League side and being a team that has got some expensive players out there tonight we just didn't move the ball quick enough and that fighting resilience wasn't quite there and it isn't always, you don't have to steam into tackles all over the place because it was never that kind of game. Everton were always going to dominate the possession. They were always going to dominate the shot, you know, the shot, the count and things like that. But for me I think you have to, in those instances, you have to speed the way you're playing up. You have to move people around. These are non-league players without being disrespectful to them. And if you're, it's very easy, I think, to defend against a team that is moving a ball around at one pace. And that's what Everton did tonight. Everton were just moving the ball around slowly and it was easy for them to mark. It was really easy for them to not be pulled out of position and that should never be the case. You should be, you know, moving these around, making them have to chase you. People should have been making runs and we weren't. And whether, listen, whether that was, whether that was just because of the pace and how we had, whether it was because the manager had made six or seven changes, probably a bit of both. I just, I was just a little bit disappointed with us. I was very disappointed. It made me very lonely tonight. And I really wanted to enjoy it and it didn't. But we've won the game and I accept that, you know, maybe I'm being a little bit too critical, but I just expect a better level. I really do. You know, I haven't finished the game at 23 shots to Borough Mudd 1, 80% possession. But I just, I just felt we, I think if we'd have moved them and been a bit sharper and had a bit more intensity in the opening half an hour, I think we'd have put the game to bed. But there you go. That was just the first thing I wanted to speak about. The second thing I wanted to speak about was Nathan Patterson. I've already said in my mat reaction that I was disappointed with Frank Lampard for taking them off. I thought it was, this was the opportunity tonight to really to give him 90 minutes to let have a proper look at him. You know, we've played them out of position to start with. He was playing, he was playing almost on the right hand side of the attack at times. And that isn't where he plays. He's a right fullback. But I thought it was an opportunity to get minutes into him tonight because there's not going to be many more opportunities to give him a go unless someone gets injured and if Coleman got injured, Kenny will play. So I'm a bit disappointed with Lampard this season to take him off. I must admit that unless he's injured and I haven't heard he may have picked up a knock and that's why he took him off. But I've heard anything to suggest that at the moment. So a little bit for me, a little bit disappointed in that because I thought he showed some nice touches. I thought some of his link up play was decent. Good saying of pace. Like I say, he's more of a right back. So it's difficult to gauge on that sense. But I just wanted them to get at least 70, 80 minutes in tonight. So that did disappoint me a little bit because if he's going to be someone we go forward with and I think he will be, I think we need to get him playing games. And finally, just the FA Cup, third point, the FA Cup. We're into the quarter-finals now. It's mad out this season. And listen, I'm not saying it'll have the same ending. It's mad out, it's kind of mirroring 1995 when we won it. You know, we were in a relegation battle then right at the last couple of games and we ended up winning the FA Cup. The only, the difference I would say with this team and then is the some tremendous team still left in it. Although to be fair spares in United, we're still in it when. And Newcastle, we beat, we were good sides at that time in 1995. But we're in the quarter-finals now and this can be a little bit of a catalyst, I think, to keep it going. We're still in it. We're still in a cup competition. That's good. Okay, we've got a tough tie, Crystal Palace. There's no question about that. A real difficult game. But again, it could have been worse. We could have got Liverpool United or, sorry, Liverpool City or Chelsea away and we haven't. So, well, it is difficult to go to Sellers Park. Sellers Park, there's an opportunity for Everton to get to Wembley. A good result there at Wembley for the semi-final and, you know, you can see what happens then. Hopefully Dominic Halvert-Lewin will be back. I'm firing and we'll get Ben Goffrey back in the next week or so and we'll have him back in the squad. And I think that's really, that's key for getting. Those two extra players make us stronger again. I think the midfield is a worry. No Donny van der Beek and obviously Deli can't play either. So having those two players, if you would have added them into it and they were able to play, then again you start thinking we might have a chance here. But who knows, you know, there's eight teams left in it. We go to Palace and get the results. We're into the semi-finals last four at Wembley. You know, what a story that would be and you don't know what's going to go on in the other tyres. So who knows, you know, we've got a good opportunity. We're one game away from a semi-final at Wembley stadium. Let's hope now we can put that to bed now until whenever it is that it's played the week of the 20th or something like that, the weekend of the 20th or something around those times for the next round. And we've got three big games now in the Premier League. We've got Spares away, Wolves and Newcastle at home. If Everton can get seven points from those three games, they'll be in great shape going into that quarter-final. I think that it really put them within touch and distance of safety. It's a big ask, Spares away will be tough. They'll have to play better than we did tonight, that's for sure. Wolves are very resolute and are doing well, but it's at Goddison with the crowd. Players back, we can beat them and then Newcastle is a huge game and I fancy us to beat them, but again, it'll be a big effort and we'll need everything, we'll need the crowd, we'll need our players being at the top end of the game and if they are, then we've got a great opportunity of getting ourselves one foot in the safety camp and going into a quarter-final. So it's a big couple of weeks now before we play the next round, but the FA Cup, we're in the last eight. We got to the quarters last season, we're back in the quarters this season, so let's see if we can go better this year and get to Wendley. We'd be polished with that Wendley, it's as simple as that, so everything crossed. But that's it. There are my three talking points, let me know what you think in the comments section below.
