 Welcome to Toffey TV, this is the match preview. Everton travel to Brighton and Hove Albion for the penultimate away game and yeah it's a tough one, it is a tough one. Brighton 6th in the Premier League, couple of games in hand behind Liverpool coming off the back of a 1-0 win against Manchester United before that he beat Wolves 6-0 at home and yeah. They're doing alright Andy, they're doing alright and us would just have won a away game. I mean it was on the south coast, it was on the south coast. We won there last season. How much has happened between us winning there last season to wait us now? A lot, a lot, a lot is the answer. We're on our third, we're on our third manager. So there you go, that tells you everything you need to know. We're on our third manager, our second director of football. Well no, but in that time yeah, second director of football. Still got a boat, well. I've done the camera moves played by eight times. It's where it started for me. The boat is still short of here, I think it's short of here. Yeah, mad. Mad it was last year. Everton's probably haven't its best performance with the sheen. Sheen they'll could have been five or six. I don't know if they've had a stone wall penalty near the end on the pitch or if they're going to call him his two-seaters at the end. They might have had my brilliant that day under off of the meters. Really good performance, but yeah. The two teams have gone in that direction since, haven't they? Brightner, fantastic side, playing brilliantly and on course they're completely faced ever double over, haven't they? Ever, ever? Ever, ever. Not like Premier League? Ever. No, the one I've read was ever. Ever, ever. So that's interesting. It's one of the, arguably after city, no, it's one of the toughest places to go. I was going to say arguably after city and Newcastle is the hardest place but then you're discounting it to Arsenal as well, but it's a really, really tough game for Evan to face it. Do you think though? Do you think if we, obviously if we're treating it like that, do you think then if you're getting sort of that mindset of these are a very good side, then that might make the game easier for us? Cos let's be honest, it's not like we're going to go there regardless and be open. But you know, we entered Leicester obviously on Monday night and we did quite well. I just wonder whether being a game that has seen us so tough, whether that might suit us or certainly suit Sean Byche a little bit more now and that. Ever even daddy sort of plans sort of at times think well what are you doing that for? It might actually help him, you know, the lack of subs being a little bit more, or should I say less gunkow, more sort of just trying to sit back, soak her up and then play a bit more on maybe the counter attack. I mean possibly, but last time you did that was Old Trafford wasn't it me? You should have been shredding all down the last time. Is that what we were doing at Old Trafford? I am sorry, I haven't worked that out. I don't know what we were doing, good job and pick, we kept the score. No, I don't know me, we went to Chelsea. As it really worked, we went to Chelsea and we showed us sat in but they were the better side. When we freed ourselves up, we actually did well at Chelsea to get a result. Liverpool, we didn't lay a glove on them, there we are some, we didn't really lay a glove on them. So I don't know. Yeah, it's a tough one because they are such a good shred. Ever in a winless in the last 18 Premier League games against teams in the top half of the table, the last one we did went. I was blighting last season when they were four. So maybe there's some kind of, not to say some kind of omens there that we'll get a result. But listen, it's not impossible, we went to City at Christmas when we were in bad form as well and we got a draw there. So, you know, we've gone the last couple of years, I mean we've got decent results on a break. So, it's like I said, it's a tough place but we've got four games left, it's do or die isn't it? It really is isn't it? It really is. You know, nothing in four less to play before us on Monday. So if they win a full-on, the pressure's on four us play after us at home to Southampton at the bottom. You know, we've got to go on some, I'll try to get a result there. Yeah, it's going to be really difficult isn't it? And as you mentioned it, the whole day is. I'm glad in a way that it's like, you know, instead of like it's almost been spread over the weekend, it's a lot of it is on one day you enjoy the weekend and then get to the Monday. Now it is, it's a really tough game and so impressed with Brighton when he played as a goodness in the park. They absolutely destroyed us. You know, it should have been lampard last game. Yeah, one of many. I mean, you know, the bomb of games should have been the last game but after Christmas that should have been the last game. Because we were destroyed. We destroyed us and they didn't get out of second gear. They'd made three passes and be in our box. They just stopped playing didn't they? Yeah, they, before on the level, they could have been aided, they would have tried. They just, they just took the foot off it as if they go, there's no point in it. He's gone and we were gone and a lot of the crowd were gone. Because it was so frustrating wasn't it? Well, that, you're right, that, he should have been shocked at night, absolutely. It was gone then, it was gone for me. You know, even if you the, even if the club thought bomb, it was a bit too early because of the way the season had panned out by Brighton. It should have been done and done. But they were fantastic. I mean, they abscotted seven goals against us in the last two games. They played both the goodness in the. So it is a, it's a really, really tough game but. They're brilliant, the recruitment's brilliant. The players, they just seem to cheer at the next one and the next one. You know, Mataumau was fantastic. He got us in that night. They've got Alexis McAllister and they played it. They've shot that night with great forms. They've got the winning against United of course. Ferguson being brilliant and so forth. There's just too many to see though. They play such a, the way they played it instantly. That's a nice one. Sorry March. They're everything. Sorry March. It's been brilliant this season. So there's, there's loads of them. There's loads of them. Go through them and you go, you know. That Lewis Dunk, can you get it there back for? The so good in possession. And Evan, I've got to be careful. We showed the other night to Lester who were not on Brighton's level. The way they went, well, we're playing loose passes and the next one's in our net. That is what these are capable of doing. I think one thing for this game though is having, you know, Don's now played three games in a row. And obviously the last two games have been he's played against Brighton. I've been obviously disappointing moments for him. The injury he got last season in this fixture obviously was the one that obviously started the role. And then obviously he came back and missed the penalty, didn't he? Well, the first game back. Arguably shouldn't really have been on the penalty. No. Shouldn't have been playing daily. He missed the penalty. So this for him, this could be like that game. You know, I know he scored on Monday, but this could be that game. If you think we can get a goal in this, get, you know, because you will have little loads of mind. You know, you've always had them, yeah? My stones in your head won't go up there last year. You'll think I'm confident. I think I missed the pen against these and these where I got injured. This is where I've got to make it up to people. This is like, you know, I've got to make amends for that. So obviously having him back and I told you did really well against Lester was a big difference. Those just gave us a focal point and obviously won the penalty, scored the penalty. Having a little bit more legs in them, having another week of fitness, that's really important. And all the players know how to play a random as well. Listen, we know it's going to be a very difficult game. I think what we can do, and I think we've said this for the whole time, and I think this is what's disappointing with the last four or five games, is there was starting to become a level of consistency. Whether you won a game, drew a game or lost a game, there was becoming a level of consistency in the performances. And I think we've seen that drop off till the Lester game. I think Monday, unless Lester does for a large amount of that game, we did really, really well. And I know we were all calling for a shove, but actually towards the end of the game, we were in quite a lot of control of that game. It was all evident towards the end. So fitness-wise that's a bonus as well. Let's hope it continues. And football matches take care of themselves. Sometimes you will get the rubber the game. Sometimes there are those games. Brighton did lose to Forrest. A couple of weeks ago, Forrest took four points off them. Forrest three down there as well. So you can't have these moments, it can't just be. They take their eye off the game and we get something. But obviously that requires us to be a lot more, a lot stronger than we have been at the back, which has been, I know we've talked loads about not scoring goals, but defensively we've been really poor. Can you envisage him making any changes? Obviously older than obviously, maybe Nathan Paterson coming in at right back. Do you mean, do I think he'll drop Michael Cain? I didn't say that. The only two decisions are who plays at right back, Mason Hallgate is available again. But really it should be Paterson come on against Leicester did, or I even praised him after it. So really Paterson should start. Should Michael Cain step aside? I think so personally, because he's had a foan. Simple as that, he's not playing well on evidently concealing goals. I think you've got to have that. Sean Dyche did my kind of like thought about him and idea of him was that he is that person of you've got the shater you play yourself out of it. And I thought he was quite along the line with that. I did it with Conor Cody, a couple of mistakes he's off the side in the next minute. Cain's been in and he hasn't been playing well and he's still in and a lot of people are not happy with that situation right now because we are conceiving a lot of goals. But I don't know because what are his options? Yeah, he mean it. Who we all, I think a lot of us think should have had to go by now and think he's actually our best defender. Or to go back to Conor Cody and give him another goal. I don't know what he looks like in training when I'm mad at him. He works hard in training. Or does he just leave Michael Cain in no matter what? It's a huge call for Sean Dyche because he really should just look and go, this defence isn't working and I have to change it again. For me would do I think he will. Not convinced, not convinced he'll change it. No, I don't think he'll change it. I don't think he's backed his man. He's said in the press conference he's backed him. He said he played really well against Newcastle until we can see that the second goal and then the third goal and then the fourth goal. That went wrong but I don't think he's going to drop it because I just think that all managers by the way are stubborn, they're all stubborn. They all have something that everyone can point at. Why have you done that? And they will always frustrate their fans. They'll always be something and they'll always say something with us where fans just go. I've said this, it's like the thin end of the wedge with a lot of people. There's a lot of sort of thing at the moment of people going, it's too sad. People really losing their heads with Sean Dyche already and then there's people going, yeah, we are. It is that sometimes, it is that just that thin end of the wedge with things. It started with Martinis but he wouldn't do anything about it and it led, it just, as I said, it led to, you know, people go away when they go and you go, look at the goalkeeper look at the situation. He could rectify that in one go but he won't, he's too stubborn and I think they all have something like that and I think that Dyche certainly is Michael Keane because we've watched him for four, five, six years now and it's just not good enough and while there are other people on the bench that could be given a go it is a bit mind boggling but I don't think he'll change I think he'll leave them in there but there obviously, there will be there are points of contention and what does he do with the midfield does he own on it apparently he is fit now does he bring on on it back or does he leave it with James Garner it was alright, it wasn't amazing but it was alright Dyma'r y greu didn't get a sniff right wheel runway I think he could have come off the bench but do you think there will be many changes considering that Lester wasn't a bad performance yeah I think he'll be good it'll probably just be partisan for Coleman maybe the rest will remain the same I am at and of course like I said I don't see him dropping Michael Keane I'll change it so there you go I think the rest will just stay because the performance at Lester was good so it's can you repeat it against a really good side can you stay nice and tight can you compete we're not going to be able to play through them because of how good we are so we've got to pick the better so I don't think there will be many changes now obviously there is the team that did face Lester and I said Coleman he will 100% come off the bench but you're right I think he'll leave it I think he'll leave it now the only one it might be the only one that might be the only one but Keane let's have a little look at Brighton's side that face Manchester United I've seen mention McAllister before Welbeck is a little more on Welbeck in the moment but Matoma has been a revelation this season Billy Gilmore but he's got them playing he's got them playing so well and I do think there will be a couple of changes on that side as well but he's got them playing so well and you look at something and you think you look at them and think oh god they're not exactly screaming amazing team but as a collective, as a team or a squad and players say they're not bad players but it's not about being bad players but being a bad team or a good team and they've got a very good team let's just have a little look at Welbeck because I think at times he epitomises Brighton a player who has been dismissed because of his injury problems that he had at Arsenal 26 games, 6 goals, 3 assists 2.1 shots per game the goals and the stats they're not a million pounds better they're not better than Dwight McNeill's the goals are but you know what I mean, they're only a little bit better but what I mean is that just as a focal point in the team and he doesn't play every game obviously but he sort of again typifies this team is that it's more than some of its parts it's got the sprinkling obviously but he's not McAllister they produce moments of absolute brilliance but it is that collective that makes it such a good side they're coached brilliantly and they've got a way of playing people are always on for a pass the movement's really good that's what I'm sure of Gullison play through the third that easily having someone like Danny Welbeck up front who's got a good movement and he'll drop into a pocket and pull back create space for other people like Alex McAllister to run into it's been fantastic and if you'd think that they had Trotshard he was brilliant in the first half of the season and he just moved past that like the album like I said before Young Evan Ferguson there's so many there's so many of them and they just keep going and they've done very well wherever Poster started they've been able to take it on they're a great side to watch they've got that thing of being a good football team and being an incredible hard work which a lot of people forget good sides are and you've got a time match how hard they work and they've still got plenty to play for they've got a couple of games in hand on Liverpool they've obviously got four points behind them so they've still got plenty and obviously they missed out on the Coffin on the penalty shootout so they've still got plenty to play for that's double over Manchester United the first double like that so they've still got a lot to play for and it's which makes it worse but it's a huge game for Evan this and then the Manchester City game you look at them on paper and you just think how who knows Evan could sneak something, he could sneak a point and everybody else could have a terrible weekend and suddenly you are in the mix and of late Evan have been relying on other people to have some bad weekends it would be just really nice for once if we could have a good weekend just to pull us away by good you mean going fluke a win yeah why not everybody else does it we just seem to be the only team of grabbing that win where Evan goes where did that come from everybody does it and we just seem to be the only ones and maybe you are going to suppose Arsenal at home for his first game but we just we don't do it away do we yeah it's going to be a tough one let us know your thoughts in the comments how are you feeling ahead of this one obviously that one is Monday, City is on the Sunday and get them out the way and see where we are after them and then the thing for those last two games that's where the well yeah let's just get I'm just looking forward to your vision that's where my head is right now we'll know more on Monday night so let us know your
