 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview Tottenham Hotspair versus Everton at the Tottenham Hotspair stadium. If it is, it is. No fans. Of course, yeah this game, big, this has, I mean it was always going to be a big game I suppose, but it's become a bigger game because obviously with Everton winning this week and Tottenham losing that game with Sheffields United a win forever. Everton would take us at both Tottenham and suddenly then you're looking at it in terms of Europa and looking at the teams we've got left and I'm not sitting nearby any means saying that they're easy games and they'll all be difficult for different reasons, but this is a big opportunity now. This has presented itself as a big opportunity and for Everton, you know, if we could take that opportunity on Monday night then it could really be looking up. Definitely, it is a big opportunity. I think the biggest thing really will be not losing the game because there's only a point between the two teams. Obviously, Sheffield United beat Spades in the friendly league this week. So, you know, one point between the two teams after we beat Leicester, obviously we win and we go above them. That'll be a massive thing. It'll be an absolutely huge result, but not losing will be as equally big because it keeps them, it keeps you next to a team who I think are probably the favourites for that seven spot in Spades. Do you think? You might beg to differ on this one, but only because I look at Arsenal's form in the last couple of games, so they're in and around there as well. Sheffield United have obviously won that game and they haven't had a great start, but they've won that game with a decent form. So, I don't, I just generally think it's anyone's out of three or four teams rather than them being focussed on just trying to start. I just think Spades are, after Wolves, I think Spades are probably the next best team. I watched that she and Arsenal against Norridge in the nil nil. Norridge did the post, Golgi ffetlaid ydyw'r cryff and gives it to Obama Young and it's one nil. Norridge all over Arsenal. Arsenal break, mistake, two nil. Arsenal aren't playing well. They've had a couple of easy wins in the last couple of games. They've got a tough running, so I think Spades will be above Arsenal without even having to worry about it. So, to me, if you can get above Spades, you'll be the team. I'll finish the seven. Was the argument not that, we're not exactly playing well though either, but we're grinding out results. We've had tougher games though, I would say. I'm not saying we'll finish above Spades, I'm just saying I'll be very surprised if Arsenal finish above Tottenham. What have she? Arsenal defensively are very good. She's got Obama Young, he's amazing. You've got a chance. I'm just looking at the teams and we're in this mix. Sheffield United have been brilliant and he just took Spades apart, but I still feel like Tottenham are stronger than Sheffield United. But, who knows? I mean, that's just me saying it today. Everything could go there and get a resultant. Spades could be in trouble. I just think, it was a bit man at the moment, looking at Sheffield United in 7th on 47th down to probably us, Palace 7 outside, but probably us. I would say, out of those, Sheffield United Arsenal, Spades, Burnley and Everton, I'd say Spades. For me at this moment would be the favourites to get that seven to please. Just cos I think when you've got Harry Kane and Sun in your side, I think you've got a great chance of winning games. I mean, listen, they've got good players, they're not playing well. I would say. But then saying that before that defeat to Sheffield United, I would have been looking at it. I thought they'd get something. I thought they'd win and I thought they'd just keep that momentum going. And they were all over the place Sheffield United played really well. Yeah, and I think in that game we've seen the frailties. I mean, listen, Spades were very unlucky in the game cos of the goal I got this allowed. Yeah, the most ridiculous decision. And obviously they've beaten West Ham before that, I think, in the draw with Manchester United. See Arsenal go to Wolves on Saturday? Yeah, yeah, no, no, I know. You know, on Sheffield United, I think they go to Burnley. But saying that with Tottenham, Tottenham, I'd have an organ to win the United. There'd be West Ham, Harry Kane's back and you would have thought Sheffield United would have, with the way they'd been playing, but that just shows you the way it is at the moment. Or just shows you what the Premier League is like in general. So I think it's a double-edged sword, I think, because of that defeat. Menino, he hasn't got much time to get them back in and look at them. You don't really have a couple of days to really get them on the training pitch. You looked at the Sheffield United game and defensively, wide areas. Well, I think what it was, was the Sheffield United created gaps between the full-back wing backs and the centre backs. And that's where they got the joy. They stretched them and then they put the gut runners into those gaps. And that's where a couple of the goals came from. I think if Everton could do that. But I think that's the hardest thing for us at the moment, because of the lack of mobility we've got in that midfield. What we do have is midfielders who are playing at the moment that will go wide. But it needs the full-backs to take risks. And it'll be interesting to see how often we do that. Well, Spears finished the game at 67.8% possession nine attempts ago to Sheffield United 7. Sheffield United had five on target, Tottenham had two on target. So Spears a lot of possession without creating lots. But I think for Everton, definitely, I think we talked about this yesterday and said that there's an opportunity to maybe go three at the back and try to potentially try to match Spears up. Well, certainly put us an extra body in midfield for us, because I think just given what we have at the moment in midfield, the mobility isn't there. Spears played a 4-3-3-1 at Sheffield United, obviously, Sun and Lucas Mora, joining Kane up there and Beirwyn as well. So they've got the very attack in front four and then low calcium to Soco in the middle. And Calamantillot, he might look at that and go 4-4-2 is fine. 4-4-2 is fine with what we've got because we can try to match up the two in the middle. The power of Soco running with, he's not great, but he's a strong runner with the ball. Local shows a little bit. He's still in attack on the field play, but he's a bit cleverer. I was wondering if he'll maybe change it up anyway for our game because he didn't perform. So it'll be interesting, but Coleman and Dean will be important, I think, for Everton on Monday night. And then when you've got a front-shoot of the child, you've always got a chance of scoring. I think it's well defensively. Again, this was something another thing Sheffield United did. They really put a lot of players. Well, they have two players in front of the two centre backs, or three centre backs, and they really snuffed out what Tottenham wanted to do because of those players. They played very centrally. I think that's been, seeing how you've seen that in the Leicester game, the Liverpool game, was the ability to put players in there and just snuffed out the space. Obviously, we've faced Vardy. Liverpool would've faced Fominio and Marnay, and then we faced Vardy, and now we're facing Harry Kane. We scored a couple of goals in the three games he's played in. And it's all about just snuffing out the chances, stopping the ball getting through to him, because he scored a goal, he's had one dissalad against Sheffield United, which shouldn't have been dissalad. So he's obviously bang on four, and I think he's one of those kind of players who feels like I'll take all the responsibility as well. So I think it'd be massively important to snuff out as much as we can before a get-up to that. And I think, actually, in the games, we've done that quite well, but it hasn't really... We can't transition out of that. That's the only thing I worry about, is that once we get into that, we only seem to be playing that. We find it hard, then, to break. And I do think there'll be opportunities for us. And it's whether we keep the concentration of continuing to do that, because a low block, or we go, oh, we've got chances here. Cos that was the thing in the Liverpool game, was we were really disciplined. We didn't get caught in a game of, oh, we'll have a go at you, if you use it, letting us have a go. We stayed. Knowledge was a little bit different, because I think we were there to attack. And once we got the goal, it took the pressure off us a little bit to do that, cos obviously we won the low. And then the Leicester game was a bit above, cos it was like, well, we're twoing it up, but Dave can just score. Or even when we were twoing it up, it was like, do we go for more, or do we sit in our block? And I think that'll be the thing with this game. I do feel like that. It's going to be an interesting one this. Sof opponents, obviously, you know, they've lost just three of 27 Premier League home games against Devon. We've had 16 wins in eight rows. We haven't lost in 10 games against us at their place. We had three consecutive, the three defeats were three years on the run, and we beat them. And we haven't done it since. We've had 14 matches against Tottenham. It's just, since Stephen Piena's late header in 2012. These are the kind of things you see, that we've got to get rid of these records. You're not telling me them. I'm telling you because I'm saying we've got to get rid of them, haven't we? Unsurprisingly, this is Spears' joint longest unbeaten run against any Premier League team. We have all of these, we're great. Haven't looked into a win Premier League back-to-back away games the first time since 2016. It's all of this kind of stuff, you see. And we've lost 77 of the 155 Premier League games in London. Newcastle, only Newcastle have lost more. Do you think there'll be anything left over from the game in October, was it now? Because I know on the day there wasn't. I know on the day there wasn't. I wasn't any bad blood, even though. I still can't get me ahead of that. But there's not going to be any of our players targeting Sun-Adi or anything like that. I doubt it. I think if there's anything else, then he might end up in a bit of trouble in terms of taking a few challenges. But if it's just a normal game, I don't think so. But Gomez, I doubt it. No, he doesn't. Will Sun go near Gomez again? I doubt it. So I don't think so. It happened at the time. He got away with it and he should never have done it. It was a disgraceful decision. Disgraceful challenge. Disgraceful decision by the FA to overturn it because it was intent to it was intent to foul him regardless of whether... It's caused an effect to set it at the time. It's caused an effect. But I don't think Evan can afford to go out and let it go. I don't think we need to. But I don't think we need to. Football's not like that. Time's passed and we need to go out and concentrate on our job. I'll tell you where I think like we need it. But I think Millino is going to be ramping up for the referee after what happened the other day. I've got sympathy for what happened against Sheffield and I said it was nonsense. It falls over, the ball just ricochets off him. Falls to Kane, Kane finishes and it's hand ball. There's one in the city, they've pulled game as well which is exactly the same. It falls down. My house has got about 87 yards still to go and scores brilliantly. That rule, when it's applied like that is pathetic. It's going to change that rule. They don't know what they're doing and our referees don't need an excuse to be even worse because they're atrocious. They're like three's customer service. Absolutely atrocious. You've just been one of our potential sponsors there, don't you? Chelsea, they're all over Chelsea. No, no. Three's the magic number for Chelsea. For Chelsea. Yeah, that can see me in your... You'll have them fired up and you'll have them organised. You're right, we probably could have done with them getting the result yesterday. But you can worry about that as ever. We've got our own game plan. Like I said before, for me, these are the favourites. Just given the players they've got. Just because you've got the best. It looks like you've got the best side. It doesn't necessarily translate that way. I've seen a big thing today about Spare's saying there's unrest. They can't afford to sack Marino because he's on too much money. The players don't like him. There's a big list of things that are going wrong with Spare. Who knows? I just think that for this game, I think this is... We've played three so far. Liverpool, we weren't supposed to get anything out of it. We did. Norwich, we were supposed to. Leicester was a flip of a coin. This one's interesting because like I said before, to get your... We've really got to win this game. But we've certainly can't lose this game. If Spare's get the three points and then it opens up that gap, that'll be hard to close. I mean, it won't be wrong. It won't be impossible because they'll only be four points above us. But at this stage of the season, that's difficult. And that's where that sort of thing of is. That's where Carlos' tactics are going to be really, really interesting. How does he set us up? What's he trying to get? Will those tactics change during the game? Cos we've seen that. He is very flexible. How does he cope with them in field? How does he cope with runners? Because I think that's what Spare's a good at. Players picking up the ball deep and running. You've got Son. You've got Moray. You've got Kein. Kein likes going deep. Kein likes going deep and picking the ball up. So that's going to be, I think, our biggest worry. It's a new test for him. It really is. If we lose the game, it's not over. There's enough games left, I think, just about. And then you've got the thing with Man City and it could go to eight. But it's going to be very interesting. It's going to be a big test for us this one to see. It's the midfield for me. We've got defensively, we're good. And up front, I think, we're really good. And we've got players in wide areas who can affect games. But in the middle, worries me. Gomez, excellent footballer and all that. But it's alongside them. And maybe one player in a wide area that it was short of and this game will tell. Do you think, if Richard Ellison is any ill effect from the Nochegon, because straight after the game it's fine to say, he's alright. But the next day it could be swollen. If he can't train on it and then you've got a game and then you've got another game three days later. Do you think if he can't play, that he might look to just play one up front or do you think he would go, no, we're having Moish Keane? No, I think Moish Keane will play. I think I don't see why how he could change it. Will you just like the second half when it's first there? No, I don't because I just think the way they set up it's a flat back foot. I know they've had the three at the back and that's why I was saying we could match them up and go three at the back to try to get the full back in wide areas and I know we did it and close the game out against Leicester the other day really well. I just think you'd isolate them and then you're playing a game where you'd leave them one up front and you'd almost ask them for them just to have the ball all the time. I know sometimes 4-4-2 you can do that but if you've got two threats up front it's more difficult for them. No, I just thought I'm not advocating playing that way because when we play 4-4-2 we'll naturally drop deep anyway to pick up the ball and he's a threat. It was just because it will Moish Keane do that job does that put more pressure on Dom but Moish Keane doesn't come in a game like this and runs and does well for an hour and then doing well for an hour and then Anciolotti might look to flip the tactics then and then play. The challenge might just be fun. Listen everybody, Anciolotti did what they said he'd be fine for Sunday to impact the challenge. You're right he could flare up but I just don't know whether he's sacrificed another striker because I think it's a way. He could end up playing Gordon on the right Bernard on the left and Wobie through the middle number 10 almost and just have Dom so someone's breaking. I think he'd probably just go like for like because I think at some stage in his next six games Moish Keane's got to start one or two of them he's got to because you've got to have a look at him I know listening to him come on at Nord we've been ffuming with some of the stuff he was doing because he just didn't see him up to it but I think you've got to give the lad that fill up of having See I'd rather he didn't and the reason is is that I think we start seeing him in games when Europe's sort of out the window I don't see him playing in games We'll see about me but I mean there's still an opportunity to probably play the three of them in one or two games because I don't think anyone on the right hand side is nailed I know Walcott's back in training on Monday but he's let to be honest there's not going to make much difference when he's back in the side I would like to see the child or some wired writing and him up in a game or to maybe a good listen now rather than being away from one I just worried that he just doesn't offer enough I'll see one week to accommodate that's the thing isn't it Mancillote's first game in Boxing Day only Liverpool United and City have more points than us Trottenhambos, Josie Marino has never lost a home game against Evan once seven and drawn two he's only faced Manchester United more a home without a defeat Harry Kane and I'm not going to read that one and I'm not going to read that one Tom Davis could make his 100th Premier League appearance in this game at just 22 years six days on the day of the game he'd be the second youngest player to reach 100 Premier League games for Everton after Michael Ball in December 2000 at age 21 years and 68 days not bad for a championship player that people say and when Harry Kane and son combined for Spare's goal over the night it was the 20th time they combined for a Premier League goal only the 12th Premier League duo to do so so we know that them two but they're the pick of the two and even though son there was a little bit of well there was a lot of nastiness in the challenge he's still an excellent player he's someone who had a love for Everton that's what we've got to be very careful of we've got to be careful of sitting there going oh I've just been beaten by Sheffield tonight these will be looking to get back into it these will be looking to put Sheffield the Sheffield United game behind but listen Carlos far too long in the tooth to be thinking about that game he's thinking about this game and what I've noticed with Spare's despite me saying oh yet for me there's a fee I watch them against West Ham and that 0-0 West Ham had a couple of I mean they had a goal this allowed but they've had a couple of chances at 0 and that 1-0 even after Spare's had scored Bowen, Mississippi with a very very good striker in them and that to me is what they are I think you take Harry Kane out of the Spare's team I think they struggle and I know but I know there was a time when some was flying and like the last season we've seen there were times when they were flying and Harry Kane actually coming back into the side for the Champions League flying I might have destabled them but they're clearly not the same side like someone away and had to do national servers and all these kind of things and they're such a mad team now they're a team now on any day could just be absolutely amazing and then on another day they're like what they were so they're dangerous and you're right obviously Carlo has been around a lot of football for a number of years played massive games no seeing being there, done it, seen the road it's just like I've said a million times probably in the last few weeks it's our midfield if we had a more mobile midfield I'd have no fears going here in fact that'd be expect and evidence of win because I think the front two we have of course is everybody and everybody problems you look at the games that we've come back we've come back against Liverpool we were very much on the back foot but with the team that should have won the game we had all the chances but we should have put the game to bed at 1-0 and won the game we played less than the other night we could have been out of sight before they got a foothold in the game and possibly should have been and then obviously we had to defend really well so in each of the three games that we've come back we've had spells where we could have put games to bed and we've had to defend we've let one goal in the three games and it was the luckiest goal you'll see it's someone in the boat racing dropping over the line but these are a very dangerous strike partnership and with Lucas Morris well another good player but I think the one thing about the advantage I guess for us on Monday is that there's not going to be anyone in the stadium so it's good a team it's top number it's you're playing in an empty stadium where it's a game of football and if you keep to your game plan and you can use your front two well we've got a chance and we should take confidence in the fact that West Ham had chances against Spades United had chances against Spades and Sheffield United put them to the shoulder the knife from my area so that'll boost everything but it will be a very difficult game no doubt hopefully three points but at the very least hopefully just don't lose just the face protocol and we keep going to try and get that European place which would mean so much I think if we could get it this season for so many different reasons give this video a like and subscribe if you haven't
