 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the match preview Manchester United versus Everton at Old Trafford. Eili kickoff on Saturday. Old Trafford is always... It's always a traditionally hard place to go in it. You'll have only ever seen Everton win once at Old Trafford in your lifetime. There's been some good games, obviously the one in 2030. We were there first when Oviados got the winner. Obviously we had a good result there last year, only because we were 2-0 down. And we scored in the last minute and I felt like I'd win. That's true. And 4-4 in 2012, that was a memorable one. We've had draws and stuff in the last few years. We won 0 up and we ended up getting a draw. They got a last minute penalty. We had a few draws there. Traditionally growing up it was always for me. You'd go there and you'd never get anything. You'd play well and never get anything. Or you'd be in a good run and you'd get bounced all over the place. They were the team to try and go and impress, weren't they? They were, but at the moment it's not necessarily the case. But it still makes it a difficult game of course. I still think they're a team to beat. They're a team that's filled with the likes of City and Liverpool and Chelsea, miles ahead of the rest. But out of those teams you feel like they're the most... You can still nick a win, but I reckon they're all because of their manager. I still think they'll be looking now and they've got a squad that can win the league. So imagine if they had a world-class manager and obviously Ali needs to prove that he deserves to have the squad. He deserves to have the job, sorry.

The link is in the description if you want to play that. Listen, they've lost a couple of games domestically recently at home. You mentioned the The Villa Game, the West Ham game as well. They've started the season very unconvincingly, man United, very, very unconvincingly. You mentioned there prior about Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea. Those three teams do feel like they've got something really special about them. They've created an aura of invincibility around them. I don't think it's necessarily the same with Manchester United. I think they're trying to, and the signing of Ronaldo is that kind of step, where beforehand you looked at them and they think about teams in the Premier League. It is that thing of they look human and then suddenly they get a few signings in and suddenly you go against them. City has got that, like I said, Chelsea, Champions of Europe, getting Llecargo. Liverpool life, you think about playing Liverpool and you think about Salah O'Marney and all the good players they've got. They've created that aura of invincibility. Just the way clock talks, the way pep talks or even social talks. Manchester United has not taken quite half that. I think part of that is down to Solskjaer. He doesn't come across as a fella that massively convinces fans of the opposition. I don't know if he convinces his own fans. I always think that gives you that as an opposition fan. I don't know what you feel, but I look at them and think he's their weak part and as long as he's there, it's weird because what happened was when Sarge Fakeson went, they were, like, derubed. It wasn't necessarily that he didn't have good players. It was because people went and started going to old traffic. The fear factor had gone and the fear factor has never come back to Manchester United. That's not to say they're a good team. It's just that people used to fear going there and that beat them before they got there and that's what I'm saying. Those other three teams have got a better that now but I feel like Manchester United haven't got that back and that is the thing where you go. That's the thing and that's what you use. That helped us go there and feel like we could get a result. If we got there last season and it's Alex Fakeson and your 2-0 down, most likely you just think, shut up shop, we'll get away with this at 2-0, like you would against some other teams, but last year we never. I know the 4-4 is slightly different. That was coming towards the end. I think that's the difference with this. I think now you look at this game and go. I think if we were going to San Fabidio on Saturday, a lot of people would be like, no chance. I think if Lampard was a manager at Chelsea right now, it was the sort of manager I think he's not got the experience and the tactical nuance. No, you're absolutely right though. That was the difference when he was in charge and that's why they went to two shows because of that, but I still feel like that's the way we're at Solskjaer. I don't think he's aimed the respect of other people yet to go and have a fear factor because I think that they've got an amazing team. Don't get me wrong, they've got some great players. They haven't quite put it together this season properly. Don't get me wrong, they've won games, but they've not looked convinced really in a lot of the games, but I do think like the Ronaldo signing is to try and get that of like, oh, we're going to throw it off. Oh, they've got Ronaldo. That to me is like you are trying to create that fear factor that they used to have. Oli's match-winner isn't he really? Really, that villa, it's one of those tough games where a good manager would bring his star player on or have a player to bring on or you'd have Ronaldo on the pitch and you're trying to win the game. I don't think Oli's got quite the experience to unlock a team that's gone to Old Trafford and stayed tight and compact. Maybe that's the difference between winning the league and not winning the league as a manager. If the season for them, I think leadership experience and quality at the back. I think they're a number six short of winning the league, to be honest, with a better manager. I'm not convinced by Oli. I think they're more than a number six away from winning the league. I take your point, they're a number six away from really competing for the league. At least closing the gap. Like being really on the tails where Chelsea would have sent a forward the way New England would have sent a forward. Liverpool are, I still think Liverpool might be the best team for an 11. It's their squad. But the squad is the depth of the squad. Manchester United, I think you can pick holes in all of it. On the day, they've got a great team. It'll be interesting. Let's have a look at the team they played with last week. Go on there, you can go through that team, because your eyes are young. McGuire and Varan, who's had a decent start. Whamber Sacker, Luke Shaw, Fred McTominay, Greenwood, Fernandez, Pogba and Ronaldo. Interest in that how Sancho started this season, obviously, how much did they spend on him? 80 million, something stupid like that. It was always going to take time. He's never played in the Premier League and it was always going to take time. To be fair, signing Ronaldo will allow him time to bedded. He took the pressure off him. Massively took the pressure on him. I looked at that team there and the back four, that's a really good back four, I think. Defensively solid. McGuire I've always liked and I don't think Barthes always liked them, but I've always liked them because I do think that when they haven't got them they are weak. Fran's an excellent signer and wants that bedding. But as you just said there, Fred and McTominay, Fred's a good player. He's very inconsistent. They're not going to win you. The good Premier League players, Fred's not had a good start this season but they're never going to win you really. When you look at the midfield and to hold the midfielders and then you look at Rodry at City and Fernandinho and Cante in Giorghino at Chelsea and Fabinho and Henderson at Liverpool, there's a big drop off. No, there is a big drop off and of course Pogba will come in there and do a job or do a job. Pogba is a fantastic player. We all know he's a fantastic player when he wants to be. He's an incredible player. For me it's about how you put it all together. But you know Fernand, absolutely incredible football. Obviously we've seen his penalty last week. Landed in Manchester. I wonder I just wonder I wonder how much his nose is going to be put out. I've joined by Ronaldo and I don't mean that from a personal level. I don't mean that from taking penalties or taking free kicks or I just mean I've had his role in the team because he's been he occupies that number 10 role brilliantly. They're going to have to come up with a they're going to have to come up with a way of playing that suits both of those players. And don't get me wrong, we're now those now a traditional number nine but I just wonder how many of those spaces he'll take up that. One thing I noticed in the summer how ineffective Bruno Fernand this was for Portugal was really and I just wonder you don't want to lose that player for Manchester United. You've got to find the way putting it all together. You've got to get the link up between them two. Jesse Lingard has been coming on it. Well he's come on into two games and and changed the game. He's pretty good against Westam. And of course Mason Green would start at the season brilliantly. He's got Marcus Rashford to come back. And they're no-one's disputing. They're a really good football inside. No-one's disputing. And of course they're a way record unbelievable in the Premier League. What is it a season and a bit since they got beat away from home? They are a really good side. I just feel like we've got to go there on Saturday and we've got to have just a little bit of a of course defensively Benitez going to Old Stafford will be interested. Defensively we've got to be spot on. Allen and the Coray going to have to wake the socks off. Townsend. We're going to play on the counter attack. Really what you go back to the Villa game and you think about how we played that game. It does send a few shivers up the spine when you think about the squad and you think about what they had what Villa did when they brought on a couple of subs and that's going to be, for me, going to be a huge factor. Ever that I've got to be a threat on the counter attack though. They've just got to be. If we get opportunities we've got to be making them think. I'm not going to score a goal every time you go full. But we've got to make them think we've got to make them think that we can score every time. We can do something. And that means keeping it under the ball well. That means also listen at the moment it would seem that Rondon will be starting the game and that's me sitting here on a Wednesday and saying that Rondon has got to be effective. He's got to hold the ball up because if he doesn't it's just going to keep coming back all the time. And the game plan will be a large amount of it will be about how much he can keep hold of the ball for us. And I know a lot of Everton fans haven't been overwhelmed with them so far but there are reasons for that. Playing a couple of games in five months. But this is a game where he really has to play his part. Well I think he's linked up with Grain Townsend for me. We know United's going to have a lot of the ball. So we're trying to stretch the pitch and get up the pitch quickly. I think Grey's going to be our out ball and like you said Rondon trying to keep up with the ball. But I think it's the first game on paper of the season that is an expected loss and going there with half a squad. We didn't like scoring at all against Villa. We had a couple of chances in the first half. So I think for us we've seen Villa have managed it. Just trying to keep a clean sheet if you can't win. I think a point will be a especially with a squad we've got. Even if we had that full team a point you wouldn't be at all. It keeps us ticking over. But you only get a point a lot of the time by your tactics to win the game. Oli versus Rafa I think whether Oli's got their tactical experience to try and break down a tight compact side that we know Rafa can come out. The problem is though he's got now and he's got all those players we've mentioned. Fernandez who can not play it. We haven't got. We've seen the goal by Fernandez last season the one he chipped over Alton. We haven't got. We just haven't got the players and when it comes to turning around he's got his bench. That's going to be interesting this week. I'll be interested to see actually in this game how much more how much more he will trust his bench and maybe look around and go I might give Anthony Gordon 20 minutes here because I feel like tactically because I thought last week on the home game I think a lot of people thought this is like his discipline. Even just a file you've got the yellow card for bringing someone down like you know miles away from our goal. Smart. Say that all the time just do that. Slow the game down. Slow the game down make them get everyone back get you through the last five minutes. Let's see if Anthony Gordon is starting to switch on. Because I think under Callow Antelotti, Callow Antelotti clearly you can see him in game shouting him. Get back in your position. Penny might have dropped now. There's a chance for you the squad. It's on its ass. I think times are making a difference if there's any games most of our goals come from inside the six yard box or inside the box. I think the difference now is if you can't unlock the defence and you're struggling to make many chances. Townsend and we've seen it already Townsend can pick the ball up from 30 odd yards out and he's getting in for you and that might be a difference. I think one place we've got to certainly improve is we've got to start improving on set pieces. We haven't scored from a set piece this season and obviously we were undone by one of Villa and Bay and Lee scored essentially from a set piece that come back in. And they weren't great. We've got to get back to having some kind of presence on set pieces. It's always going to be difficult. I quite like that we defended set pieces under Callow Antelotti. I like the two banks, the deep. And I know he's changed it this season to Zonal. Always, always like Zonal. It's difficult for some players to manage and that can be people switch off and a good ball in and this and we've seen that now teams are starting to use set piece coaches and stuff like that. I have no problem with that, to be honest. Set pieces are a huge part of the game. Working well for Villa isn't it? If you've got a fella who works on them all week and is changing them and that's his only job I think that's the way football is going and I think that's the way football should be. None of this snobbery that we saw from other people about set pieces and job and all this stuff about when you have throwing coaches and people laughing. It's nonsense. Anything you can gain on the training pitch, any advantage that you can gain on the training pitch even if you just make someone think what are these going to do? People now for Villa are going to be like what are these going to do? We saw that with Rafa analysed it as well. I don't know whether there's coaches did it but we saw the short corners at Burnley. There's a few at Burnley but maybe it's the invention. It's like you look at Villa's set pieces. Villa's was very well planned out. But they're always changing it and they're always doing something a little bit different something clever that might be something that I need to start thinking about in the future. It was like something from Coach Carter. But I'd like to start seeing them defend them properly and be a threat at the other end. Well they've got threats on the corners and Ronaldo can leap higher than anyone else. Let's just look at those numbers because obviously he's their main man. Games three goals, three assists now. I mean that's interesting that he hasn't had any assists but obviously listen he's there. He's become how he changes game over his career is incredible. He's a very intelligent footballer. Some people think he's the best player of all time. Those people are wrong but they are allowed their viewpoint because he is for a generation he has been absolutely incredible an incredible footballer. And still rapid at the age of 36. Do you know what though? People are always still surprised about this though how good he is in the air. I don't know why because he has always been like that. I remember when he scored the goal and I think it was in the FA Cup final against Millwall many years ago. He's just hung in the air. He's been brilliant, always been brilliant. So he's brought that into the game now. I think Seamus Coleman's the 11 nightmares about the goals he scored against him for Ireland. How do you think we nullify Ronaldo in the weekend? We can't nullify Ronaldo. Do you think we put Godfrew back in centre back or is it going to be me in the weekend? No because we haven't got it. I think you can't nullify him I think what you have to do is you have to nullify the the balls that come in and we haven't been great at that recently either. You've got to stop the source. You've got to get out of people and that's where Godfrew at right back. I don't really like Godfrew at right back. He wasn't great against Williams. I don't think he's a right back and I don't think he ever will be a right back. I think Mason Hogg is more of a right back. I think what you've got to do what he might do is just say to Ben Godfrew every time they get the ball wide you've just got to get out and stop it. But you can't necessarily stop Ronaldo. I think Michael Keane probably if the ball is in the air it's going to be better more importantly so it's going to be better dealing with the ball in the air but you've got to stop at its source but these have got so many good players that it's so hard that's why good teams are good teams because they have so many good players that you say can you nullify Ronaldo well if Pog was playing how do you nullify Pog but how do you nullify Fernandez Exactly Fernandez it's probably still their most important player so you've got to nullify him then you've got that's the problem with good teams you have a lot of good players I think Meena Meena for me is important because he might have aerial jewels he will win Meena is just important because he organises the backline He won more aerial jewels aerial jewels in the whole match week when we played Burnley didn't he because he organises the backline so he's an incredibly important player this is a very difficult game as you said before it's probably the first game of the season people will be will have an expected loss against us but doesn't mean we can't go there and do something it doesn't mean we can't go there and if we play in a certain way we've got a good tactical manager who understands the game and listen who knows maybe there's a couple of surprises who's to say Seamus Coleman won't be available or I don't know sit here right now we're playing off the fact that we're but it's the it's the last game before the international break so we do get a couple of weeks after this game get the lads back in so whatever happens happens I'm definitely not throwing this game away I'm definitely not suggesting that we are going to lose this game if we can get anything out of it massive bonus I think because obviously we went there last season and we did but everyone's going to have to work hard everyone's going to do the after the part probably a touch of luck as well if there's a better team on the day and he beat us there you go can't argue with that there you go big thanks thanks for Ned for stepping in this week coming from behind the camera to in front of the camera yeah let us know your thoughts in the comments don't forget to sign up if you haven't already why haven't you signed up to ultimate fans it's free if you want to play for free it's a boss little game honestly I love playing every week now I packed Raheem Sterling you didn't play I got so many points I was sitting there giddy last week watching the points tally up it was amazing do that for us there's a link in the description it costs nothing if you want to play for nothing there are two subscription ways of playing silver packs and gold packs as I said earlier so go and check that out sign up sign up for it helps the channel there's always nice incentives as well this month there's a 5 or 3 for Uber Eats so effectively sign up this month for a gold pack you're getting it back the link is in the description as well give this video a like and if you want more daily live shows exclusive live shows join us over on Patreon the link is in the description as well thanks for watching see you later
