 Welcome to Toffy TV, here is the match preview, Everton vs Luton, an opportunity to get a third win in a week. Jack, I can't quite believe I'm saying that, but a fantastic opportunity to get three wins in a row for Evan. Yeah, well, you know, we say that and you know, we joke about putting a couple of wins together in all matters but it has actually been unprecedented for Evan as of late to put these results together and really build these points up and this is again one of those games that we look at as a winnable fixture where we can pick up points conceivably and you know, if we can do that it just takes so much pressure off the following games doesn't it? We've got this and form of both coming up, two games that you look at and think okay, it's conceivable that we win here. It takes so much expectation off the coming games against harder teams, more difficult places to go and it's a great chance to break what is slowly becoming the Goddison case as well. Slowly, slowly, yeah. Obviously you have to go back to the ballmuff game for the last time we got a victory at Goddison Park and you know, before that it was what Brentford and Leeds, so there have not been many wins this year in this calendar year, so yeah, Evan have got to win this game, it's as simple as that, I mean, you know, the opposition haven't won a game so far only picking up a point, fine, they're new into the Premier League, it's difficult star form, they haven't invested a lot of money, so they are using mostly what is the team from last season with a few added on players, but I just think in terms of, you know, if ever want to do anything this season, if you want to just do anything, you have to be beating sides that are perceived to be weaker than they are and Luton are, if you look at the squad, much weaker than Everton and you know, obviously it just, I think it goes without saying, if you play anyone outside of five or six teams in this Premier League at home, Everton should be winning that's what we've always done, that's what our bread and butter's always been, so to me this is a game where, yeah, there'll be people out there almost thinking, oh, two in a row playing Luton, oh, this could be one of them, but to me it's got to be, get out there, professional performance, don't think it's a walk over, don't think it's a game because they haven't won a game yet, handle it the right way and put a bet, you know, certainly the first two home games of the season where we were beating obviously by full and won't lose, yeah, definitely, because the home form does need to turn around, you're going to struggle a lot to build a successful season, whatever that is for your club, whether that's staying up, whether that's top half, Europe, whatever, home form generally is quite crucial to a team's success, the teams that don't do well at home tend to be the ones that struggle and yeah, getting two wins in a row, it's been great for us, but that all goes away if we don't win at the weekend, it's right back down to a if because the team below us, the team, that way of looking at is almost, you know, propping us up, one of the teams we look at as being worse than us, that could potentially go down instead of us, they gain points on us, they suddenly equal on points with us, and they play the game less, yes, so if we don't win on the weekend or this good fortune or enough fortune or such, you know, good vibes around the club, that changes quite quickly, yeah, we've got to be really positive and Luton obviously, Luton, as I mentioned there, they've played the game less, because one of their first home game was called off, I think it was against Burnley, due to the work at the ground, but started the season with a couple of heavy defeats, Brighton away and Chelsea away, since then, you know, the games have been a little bit tighter, West Ham 2-1, they got beat at home, probably should have had a penalty late on, they were beaten at Fulham, by one goal, and then at the weekend they got the first point, obviously drawing with Wolves, that's the Wolves without a player sent off, so they'll feel like they're acclimatising it just a little bit, bit by bit, obviously they got beaten a week in the league cup, they've made ten changes, obviously preparing themselves for this game, and they won't think they're out of it, because they have got a point and, you know, the bottom part of the table is still a lot of teams, we've only got a few points, I mean, I say, we've only got four points to ourselves, we can't sit, each could be one or two games in a week, thinking we're all signed, so they'll be looking at this game, thinking this is an opportunity for us to upset them, come, be tight, keep a rigid, you know, formation, and maybe think they can grab something on the break or off a set piece. Yeah, and this is one of those games potentially where we're forced to have more of a ball than we'd necessarily like, you know, just analysing the game, then for the final way with 32% possession, we really controlled the game, we're not a team who is coached to or necessarily even has the players to dominate the possession of a game, it's not what we do, it's not what we're necessarily good at, the more we have of the ball isn't necessarily beneficial to us, we're good on the break, we're good making quick snappy moves, progressing the ball quick, you know, we've got runners, the likes are better, the likes of Harris, and you can carry the ball, players like O'nana, Rwana Freed to play that kill or pass, Luton might try and sit in this game and force us to come and break them down, and then they can do to us what we've been doing to other teams, hit us quickly on the break, like you say, Diars growing into the quality of the league, they've got a team predominantly of, you know, championship players who've come up with them, been with the team for a while, they're leaning on the job aren't they, leaning on the requirements of the Premier League, the players like Carlton Morris who are adaptants and chipping in with a few goals, and that's how every game you feel like they're going to get stronger, they will win eventually, and that's the reality of it, and that's one of the biggest weapons in their arsenal at the moment, I think everyone knows, okay, these have got to win eventually what's going to be the day they really turn up and get it, they'll be looking at Saturday thinking this can be the day. Yeah, they'll be looking at the game on Saturday thinking well they haven't won a home game, yeah, they haven't scored a goal, if we can go and frustrate them, you know, because there'll be a lot of positivity going into the game, if we can turn that because people get frustrated maybe expecting a goal, that's where we've got to be on the front-forth from the start, you mentioned the Luton team, let's have a little look at the Luton team that played last week in the draw against Wolves, 3-4-3 formation, Berch, Lochye, and Bell at the back, Cabot, Ngambe, Lachonger, who's on loan from Arsenal, Dowty, Ogbyn Morris and Bran, the front three, Ross Barclay, who's obviously missing in, he could be back for this game, which would be interesting, but there's not any household names in there, let's just have a little look at Carl Morris, there's numbers he's scored a couple of goals so far this season, penalties, played in five games or five games, actually he had 2.52 shots per game, 2.6, both goals coming from his right foot, as I said, penalties, he's got the goal at the weekend that got them a point, so he's done well, he's a player obviously, you've come up last season and it's done really well, and you've got, you know, this is a club obviously, it's a fantastic story, you've come through the divisions, something that gives a lot of hope to a lot of clubs, you know, you've got the whole Wrexham thing at the moment, and someone like Wrexham thing will look at Luton, they did it, so it gives people a lot of hope that he can come up and, but as I said, we've got to, and I know they will, cos I know this is a team where they shouldn't be getting carried away by a couple of wins in a week, this is a team that's still not won a home game this season, this is a team that has got a poor home record and has to team this land, and I feel like this is that game where you think this is that little hill we just need to get over. Yeah, definitely before, it becomes an even bigger issue for us before, but a lot will be made out of the fact that we still haven't won a home if we fail to beat Luton as well, cos it's another game, racked up, it's another game we should be winning a home that we've failed into. I think to do that, Carlton Morris is the one we'll have to keep quiet, he is sort of the talisman, I know he's scoring through the penalties this season, and they've managed 20 goals for them last season, and was watching a bit of footage of him before we came on earlier, and you know, yeah, he's not the most diverse sort of attacker, he's got what he's good at, and that's being out of physical presence, he likes to play off the shoulder, and his size and explosive makes him hard to mark in there. You can mark him out of a game, but you can't switch off against him, and that's what we've got to do with the weekend, we can't switch off or give him space to run into with his pace and his power. Be interesting, different kind of players that's maybe what Premier League defenders are used to working up against, proper old-fashioned number nine. Let's just look at evidence team, because obviously this is the team from last weekend's, but obviously changes were made in the week, obviously Dominic Alvernon came in and scored, James Garner played in midfield and scored, we went to three at the back with Michael Keane and Paterson coming in at right wing back. Obviously we had Harrison coming in as well, this is the top one isn't it, this is the first time in a long time that the manager's got serious choices, three, four different options, different formation, it's got a real feel about it with the options he's got and the possibilities. Yeah and it's a lovely problem to have isn't it, I think despite that though I'd be surprised if we've seen many changes, I think the main one is where does Garner fit into it, James Garner after his impressive midfield performance and against Brentford was starting on the wing, now Harrison's fitting available, does he feel that right wing spot. James Garner been one of our key players across the last two games, doesn't even necessarily get into the team at the start and 11 at the weekend and yeah it's a nice problem to have but at the same time you do want your key players on the pitch, James Garner's someone we've seen can make a difference, so it's hard to accommodate that, you know, to Corde for all the shortcomings, he's a reliable source of goals, you've got O'Nan a player where Greg is incredibly important to this team. Yeah you just wonder though because what I would say is that Corde has been massively important away from home but at home sometimes you don't always have the same feel because he's not, let's be honest he's not a great passer to the ball, he doesn't necessarily get himself into those areas because of the way teams play obviously, he's suited more and you just wonder whether the manager will look at that and think we need to have more control in this game, we need to have more controlled build up, actually having more control. Not having the Corde in there and having maybe James Garner in there might help that out, might aid us in that control position, we've been poor given the ball away too much at home so that could be maybe where he looks at it. Yeah definitely and if you are going to have more of the ball, the Corde isn't necessarily the man you want in your midfield for those situations, we know what he's good at and he is important to this team. Of course he is. But you can't just look at it on the basis how he scored last week so he has to play, you need to judge every game by its own context and think we're going to have more of the ball here, we've got a midfielder and James Garner who's performing well, he's probably a bit more delicate on the ball in Corde, the goal threat's not the same but if we're going to have more of the ball we can potentially make better chances, we don't want to be giving it away and that's maybe with the Corde sure coming in this side isn't it. And ultimately that's what a squad's for, it's horses for courses, yes you'll have a lot of the plays we're absolutely nailed on but you've got to have alterations, you've got to have plays in form, plays you suit the opposition, formations that suit the opposition as well that's going to get the best out of you and as I said the home form is not good so even if you've got to find maybe something a little bit different that makes the opposition think oh I didn't think they were going to do that and that's what having three or four players who are of similar ability which I think we've got now, a lot of people talk about having big squads but it's not always out bar having big squads, it's about having a squad where people come in and you don't see a difference, that's the real measure of a squad and don't get me wrong, I'd love it if we had seven subs who could walk into our team like you look at Man City's bench or Liverpool's bench whatever, it is having those players when you have three or four and you go if he plays instead of him today there's no drop off, if he comes on the pitch you're hoping there's no drop off, I mean that wasn't quite the same at Villa Park as there was a drop off when you have too many subs at once but that's certainly going to help us. Well that's what the best teams have isn't it, it's players of similar or equal ability on the bench but then also a lot of them, we've got the equal ability but not a lot of players and if we were to get a few injuries the squad would look quite thin, at the moment everyone's coming back, Harrison's back, Calvert, Lewin's back so take advantage of it while we can and don't be afraid to make changes, just put someone's played well in the last game, you've got to look at our back at a lot of home games that we've not performed well in. So what's the consistencies in the end, who are the players who are continuously performing well at home and are they guaranteed starters? And there's levels as well isn't it, there's levels of fitness, Dominic Harvelon played 17 minutes, who knows how he's feeling today, you know he's faced 17 minutes for a while don't forget, that's for a while, when was the last time he played 17 minutes and went off because he could go off not because he had to go off so that's important as well so the manager will look at it differently. It's going to be a tough game, fair play all respect to Luton, they've done absolutely fantastically and I'm certainly not sitting here thinking there's a lot of stuff about record points and all this, just finding the feet in the Premier, the same with all the teams that got promoted. We had a situation last year where Bournemouth went to Anfield thinking what was his 7-0, you know 9 or whatever, Sheffield tonight to get beat 8-0 by Newcastle, it's still early days for these teams, they're finding the feet, this year they don't have that nice cushy break of a well cup so it's slightly different, they don't get those days off but I'm saying you're not taking this game lightly and I hope no one at Evans is taking this game lightly. We've got to go out there and you know 100% making sure and giving something to home fans because we deserve it, we deserve a game where we win a game of footy and it's a lot like this is win or die, be just nice to have a win and go. Good performance and a good result. Good performance, good result, we deserve that today on to the next one and you know that's what we need. It is one of them games isn't it, if we play to the best of our ability we should win so therefore it should be the minimum requirement. And they don't come round that often or don't seem to come round that often.
