 Welcome to Toffee TV. It is the Everton News Daily. Sean Dysha has done his press conference today ahead of Saturday's crucial game against Bernley. It wasn't a great press conference. I must admit it was some of the questions. Yeah, but he was asked, has the team had an uplift since the 1-1 draw on Tuesday against Newcastle? Yeah, I think so. I said afterwards, you know, in the media that we took a knock down at Bournemouth, you know, a scruffy awkward goal at the end of a game, and to respond to that with a decent, certainly a very strong second half. I thought first half Newcastle was a better side, but then second half we came back into it and had a really strong sort of second half, particularly in the middle period and second half when we certainly deserved the penalty we got and created another couple of really good chances. Yeah, there you go. Obviously it was only a couple of days ago and it was a decent point, but I think for a lot of that game we were pretty poor. And obviously it's been another set piece goal, hasn't it? The penalty from Dominic Carvent, and obviously goals from open play have been a major issue this season. We're relying on a lot of set pieces, corners of course, second balls off free kicks and stuff. So, Sean Dice was asked about how they are working on scoring goals from open play. Yeah, I mean that's always the design, you know, because set pieces really kind of, don't get me wrong, they're valid, but they kind of, hopefully anyway, they support the facts of your general play for obvious reasons, stats and facts and the difference between scoring open play and scoring set piece goals. I think we've created enough to score goals, I think finding them final moments has been the question mark all season, it remains so at the minutes and working hard in both boxes, which we certainly did the other night at Newcastle and we've got to continue that thought process. Reminded the players before they go to Newcastle, you know, it was a strange game, it doesn't seem two minutes ago and we're winning four on the trot and we're scoring freely and keeping clean sheets and then it just as if by magic you're on a tough run and everyone's making a noise about it, you know, that's football, that's life in football. Correcting that is the key. We're so very strong signs, showed sorry, very strong signs at Newcastle the other night of correcting that and we've got to continue with that thought process and that performance level. Yeah, there you go. We'll have to wait and see, won't we, on Saturday? It's something that has been a major problem all season, starting on day one and we had about XG and training it round and it writes itself, it hasn't as it hasn't ran and recently we're just not even making chances in the recent games. I think that's been so obvious and Tuesday was a bit fortuitous in a way, a silly mistake by a defender that has let us get a penalty in a game that I didn't really see us scoring in, no, James Garner at the post, but there has to be, there has to be more moments of quality and Sean Dyche was asked whether he had the quality in the team to turn the current situation around. Yeah, I think, I mean, as recent, you know, recent weeks even, you know, I thought we, it was a soft one at Bournemouth and I'll be in particularly poor, but it was soft. I thought we're very good at Man United, I thought we're very good against West Ham, they're very good performances, you score there, they're a ton of performances, you score a goal and you win them games and everyone thinks that you're back on blob and everyone's playing terrifically and they were a good sort of measure of how that works. You've got to go and repeat, you've got to get back to their performance levels and then turn the screw, you've got to score goals, you've got to score, as I was saying, it's basic form, you're scoring that and then stop it in that end, that will never change, you know, they're the basic principles. So getting back to that is the key and I think, as we were suggesting the second half, you'd add that feel is, you know, that's hard to explain for people who, you know, look at these press conferences. The feel of years of being in football, I mean, all my life, you can sense and feel when it's right and all the players were the same, you know, afterwards some of the key players and the older players, they know on the pitch and they were suggesting after this, that's when we're right, that feeling, that's when we're right, because they can sense it on the pitch, recreating and finding consistency in that feeling. Of course, that's the next step of that, you know, you can't just rely on a half of football, you've got to take it forward and that's what we're looking to do. Obviously, Shaun Dice very confident in himself and also in his team, which he always is, isn't he? So has it got the quality? I don't know, it hasn't really shown it in the last four months, but before that, it did show it had something and obviously won a few games of football that have, you know, which would have evidently in quite a comfortable position this season if it hadn't been for the points of deduction. And we have to find that form in the remaining games and if we did, then we would finish the season comfortable, even with a second points deduction probably coming next week. We'd finish the season very comfortable if we could win three games. But it has been obviously tough since we last played barely in this horrible, horrible run, so we'll have to wait and see. On the injury front, Shaun Dice confirmed that Dan's humour is back on the grass, but probably this game will come too early for him, which is crazy rarely when you think how long he's been out, he's been out since the 31st of January. And the fact that he's still out, obviously limped off a full-on and he's still out and we're now in April, is crazy. The no-dobbinger don't think either, and Ohnana has got a couple of knocks and they'll be assessed as well, so it'll be probably the same old again, but obviously maybe the likes of Jack Harrison will come back into the side, who knows. We'll have to wait and see at 2 o'clock on Tuesday. Moving on, Premier League clubs are considering abolishing points deductions and introducing a luxury tax. Isn't that fantastic? Isn't that fantastic news everybody? Fantastic news. Premier League clubs believe that points deduction, that penalty is too severe and obviously we've seen everything and not done for us to get points deductions and everything, probably we'll get a second one next week as I mentioned. Premier League clubs obviously were terrified to go and buy anybody in January. The whole way PSR is done will be changing looks like anyway, but the punishments do need to be sorted out streamlined and there to be an actual tariff. Now, this will probably mean that a lot of the clubs at the higher end will be able to do what they want. They can do what they want anyway and this just helps them out, but the timing of it is incredible, absolutely incredible. I doubt they'll admit that points deduction have been a problem or it's wrong. They'll just say we're bringing in something new and what's happened to Evan and Forrest will just be brushed under the carpet and we move on and this is the new punishment because this is the new way of doing PSR. It's incredible. I'm not sure Everton can do anything about it either because Everton, the Premier League are a private company, it's a private league and everything's been agreed to by the clubs so sadly it's probably, we and Forrest will probably be hit and maybe no other club, maybe Leicester because of when they did it will be under the old rules and maybe City because it's under the old rules, but certainly going forward no one else will ever be punished again, which is fine because we don't agree with points deductions, but the fact that Everton and Forrest will stand is absolutely incredible and this again shows you where we are with the Premier League. Moving on, Everton have been linked with a player today, I know Everton and players, it's incredible. They've been linked to the Wolfsburg centre back, Max and La Croix, it's 23 years old, played 23 games this season, three goals, French centre back, Everton might need to replace the centre back next season, probably, well maybe if Jared Branthwait was to leave, but even if he wasn't to leave, if we can get Michael Keane out the door, even Ben Goffrey out the door and let's be honest, Ben Goffrey is going to be going, if he doesn't know this someone he'll probably go next summer, so we have to prepare ourselves for that to happen as well, so we've been linked with him today, we'll have to wait and see, but the idea of Everton signing plays just seems mad doesn't it, with everything going on, it just seems, I'm sure Everton are still trying to bring plays in for next season, but it all just seems a bit out of the field that we can actually buy plays, but there you go, make sure to check out the match preview, me and Barz have sat down about the crucial game on Saturday, it's been a huge, huge game, so make sure you check out that and make sure to give this video a like, subscribe if you haven't already, if you want more great videos, join us over on ToffeeTV Premiere where we do daily live exclusive videos, also all the videos and podcasts have no adverts on them, not to interrupt your viewing or hearing pleasure, so make sure to check that out, the link is in the description, QR codes come on the screen now, see you later.
