 Welcome to Toffy TV. I am joined by Sarah Halpin of many things. BBC, Channel 4, does it all, and of course Toffy TV. Sarah, I just wanted to quickly do a video about Marko Silver. Obviously, Everton beating at the end of the weekend. I thought it was a really good performance. Listen, you see the odd thing on social media about him, and people didn't warn him and don't like him or whatever. Other people, again, I stress it to a small minority, but other people saying, sack him now. But it's not really that, I find ridiculous, but it's the stories that appear in the news. I feel like he's under pressure already in Nistat Nildir, and I'm just looking at it thinking, under pressure from who? Because Evan are playing quite well. They're not brilliant, of course they're not. The results aren't great, of course they're not. But I mean, what have you made of his tenure so far? He's only been here, the job for what, three months? Yeah, this is it. We've played six Premier League games, six points. Very, very disappointing, I think, is the overriding feeling for me, that we haven't picked up the points that we should have done. I've said it so many times, but Bournemouth away, Wolves away. I think we should win both of those. West Ham last week was really poor. Huddersfield, I think we were a little bit disappointing. But when we're playing the way that Silver wants us to play, we're playing very, very well, and you can see that the opposition for once is frightened of us again. That just wasn't the case last season at all, particularly under Sam Allardais, of course. I think there was a stat that we had more shots at goal and on target against Arsenal than we did in any of the games against the top six with Allardais. So that just kind of says it all. And yes, you know, the fact we've dropped so many points is very frustrating. I think you can take into that as well. We need to make sure it's in our hands that we don't have to rely on that officials actually just doing their job because they don't seem to be doing that. Again, shocking decision. And I think that totally changes the game. Lacazette scores a great goal. We should have already been a couple of goals up at this point. And then what was a shocking decision that a child with even a basic knowledge of football would have seen that that's clearly offside. There was one yard, there was one, three yards offside. So I think we were very, very unfortunate. Every game there's been big decisions that have gone against us. And the main thing, defensively, it's been changed all over the place. We've had that many partnerships. We're still trying to find who's the best. And, you know, we've had the injuries, we've had suspensions, but I think Zuma looks good. I'm dead excited about Jerry Mina coming in. Dead excited about Andre Gomez coming in because he could be a really key figure for us. Bernard looked the part. Ray Charleson certainly looked the part. We need to straighten up at the back, get that midfield sorted, you know. And up top the strikers have got to be taking the chances. But at the moment we've got the strikers we've got. We haven't ever replaced Romelu Lukaku. And I think, you know, Oomar and the Ass, I love him to bits, but he's been shocking this season. He did a job last season, but he's been very poor this season. Dominic Calvert-Lewin at points is playing well, but he's not taking his chances. Even like Theo Walcott, who I massively rate, they haven't been taking the chances we said before. If they do better, two minutes in, Calvert-Lewin squares the ball with one nil up, we could go on to win the game. We'd all be singing Silver's praises, you know. Some of the football we played on Sunday was fantastic. Nobody would have grumbled had we been two nil up at halftime. So I just think that all this cries for Silver, you know, he's not good enough, you know, we've rotten with it. It's exactly the same as last season, it's rubbish. I don't understand if people are going into the games or just watching the games, how they cannot see that we have improved and the players that are yet to come in. I just think it's frustrating, but we're going to get there. We are in it. I just think it's absolutely rubbish. Give the man a break, let him do his job. I think it's, me personally, if we take, if you just use the Everton fans, the people who aren't happy with Blues, I think it's frustration. I think it's... because if you've ever asked someone who they want, and it was like Sean Dyson, we're like, well, we're out of Europa League. We're in the bottom three in the Premier League. They've just gone out the Carabao Cup. But last season he was the best thing since last season. No, we're listening now. Just because Dave Stathall, it doesn't mean he's a bad man, is it? Of course it doesn't because he was very good last season. But what I mean is there's nobody who could just wave a magic wand with this squad and have us where we want to be. And every time you start a project, there needs to be a starting point. I heard Jake and Clough talking about Shari, the Chelsea manager, saying he's done great. He was better than me, it took me ages to get it right. He was saying everyone needs that. And you look and go, they do. You need a time to get the players the way you want them to play, to get a formation, to get a style, a play to bed people in. He hasn't even had, you've just mentioned Andre Gomez. Andre Gomez looked brilliant for Valencia. Barcelona, he was a little bit hit and miss. But he could be exactly what everything needs. He might not be able to do in the Premier League, you don't know. But he looks a big physical player, he's quick, he's compassionate with both feet. He seems to have the attributes that could really benefit everything. I think he was a beast in that World Cup. Hopefully he'd be like that in the Premier League, but we haven't seen him. Bernard hasn't started the game yet. He's like you said, he's come on, and he's looked like a good player of the Chelsea. And he's added this well. You know, Lucas Dean is fantastic. So the players are doing, we haven't had, even though Seamus has started the season poorly, we haven't had him for the last couple of games. So there's been reasons why. Why we haven't been as smooth in transition as what we'd like. But I just feel as though, I feel as though everybody needs to somehow just take a little step back and go, yeah, we're not happy, that we're not winning games. And yes, these set of fixes were winnable. Yeah. Right? But that's the way it is in football. We might win a couple of games. We might not expect to win along the way. You just don't know. Yeah, I find the whole thing, it's just, you know, like you said, there's so many things that play into this injuries, suspensions, players that we've signed that haven't had a chance yet. And yeah, you know, it's just, it's gotten absolutely ridiculous. I think the frustration comes from the fans because we've had this now for so many times. You know, we've had these false dawns. We had Martin S coming in that first season was so exciting. And it really felt like we turned the corner. Let me just address that quickly, right? With the Martin S thing. Cos I was thinking about this myself the other day, thinking about like over the last few years. First three games. Three draws. We were uninspiring really. Three draws. And they were against Norwich, who promoted Cardiff, West Brom. Right? So we didn't win any of them first three. We then had Chelsea at home and Gareth Barry made the greatest bloch ever known to a man kind from Samuel Etto. Otherwise, they'd have gone one-n-one. OK, we won that. And then at West Ham, there'll be later Romelu Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew Llew. 2-0 down. Weren't we? Bains, he scored two. It was 2-1-0 and 2-1 down, but we come back. But, you know, you're talking. Play it moments, that win games. Now, Marko Silver would have had those moments, you know, against Huddersfield, you know, if we'd have just taken one of our chance. Certainly Bournemouth away, certainly Walsh. Don't give away that silly penalty. You know, we're cruising at Bournemouth and they're flat and then we give them a pen. And they go, you know, and then we should have had a pen at the end of it also. You know, each Sunday, you know, the amount of chances we had on Sunday, you know, six shots on target, Peta Tx had to make six really good. So you've got man on a match. We carved them open time and time again. It's there that what he's trying to do is in front of you. Now, let's get everyone fit. Let's get through to January. Let's see what they do in January as well. Cos they're going to be addressing the fact we need to sign a top striker. You know, everyone's going, we need a striker in it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they know that. I'm pretty sure that they know that we need a striker. And, you know, with Martin as first season, we got that excited. We beat some big teams, played some of the best football we'd seen for certainly me as a fan that I'd ever seen have it and play in my time on their point. So it felt like something was happening. Next two seasons dropped off. Then we go, ah, Cuman's come in brilliant. Does all right first season drops off again. We had to, you know, the whole shenanigans with Allardyce and everything. And I think we've had that. Martinez, he's the man brilliant. No, he's not. Cuman, it'll be the man. No, he's not. Silver, ah, no, we start the season. He's definitely the man always dropped off again. Now he's not. I think we just feel like it's been so on, off, on, off. And we've got the stadium in the pipeline. We've got machinery. We've got all these things that we want to be positive about. And we can maybe get a little bit carried away. Cos I think I truly believe with all of me that in a few years time, five years time even, it'll be just a totally different scenario. We'll be, you know, back where we kind of belong, challenging for things again. We should have won stuff again by then. And the difference with Silver then Cuman, then Martinez after his first season. Cos I think the only reason he did so well then was because there was a bit of Moises discipline left over. But you can see this time that it is getting better. Under Cuman, I remember even when we won the first game last season against Stoke, I really scored. I remember thinking, I'm really worried about this. Cos there was just nothing, no signs of any fluidity, any togetherness, any style or substance or plan. Whereas there is that now, it's just a matter of getting the strikers to do better cos they need to do better. For me, Guilfe Sigurdson, work rate never a question, but we need more final, we need him to be doing what he's meant to do to a better level. But it's going to take time. We were in such a mess. Last season watching Everton was so hard and so depressing, and it really was depressing. We play football at points now where, like Arsenal for the first half, we were so exciting to watch and you could see that Arsenal were thinking thank god we've got into half time, nil nil here, because we should have been, we could have had the game done and dusted had we taken our chances. And then, as I say, everyone's saying our silver's incredible. So give it time. The mistakes that are there, that we all know are there, will be ironed out. They'll sort the defence out. Certain they're addressing the fact that we need to sign a top striker as well. There's players to come in, loads of injuries to come back from. I think the worst thing is that the way we started, as I say, we kind of thought we could challenge for the top six this season. Whereas now the points we dropped we start to think, we've already thrown away a few points, but we've got to shift that attitude and go, we are where we are. We've just got to work. Silver keeps saying the players are working hard every day as they were from the very start. And you can see that and you can see a spirit amongst the team again. Richarlison and Yeri Mina, their little bromance thing they've got going on. The squad, the whole team all seem to get on and actually like each other, which is dead important. And everyone's, a couple of wins now mate. Beat Southampton next week, go through in the cup because we've got a good chance there. United went last night, a big team's going to go again tonight. So try and have a good cup run, just improve, start winning games and I think everyone starts to is football with fickle. Towson as well, he's been getting a load of grief. E-scores a couple of goals in the next few games and everyone's back on side with him as well. We'll get there and stop asking for silver, silver out and losing our heads cos it will come good. It will come good. There you go, let's leave it there cos Sarah's finished that up quite nicely. I need it, I need it to get that off my chest. Get it off your chest, it's done. Let's back him, back everything and it will come good. Let's believe, be believers. Yeah. Do we? Absolutely.
