Get over there now, join patreon and watch the full extended final word. Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the final word Everton. I've won an away game in a few days. And that's the city one Everton 2, we've got to see it happen, where it is to discuss the game. I'm winning away, I'm winning away. Do you know, and I didn't know this, but Everton have lost once in 21 games when we kicked off at 3 and I lost 21. I didn't know what I kicked off, I had no idea. Only lost once and it was spares around last year, 3-0. The last Sammy's lost. Love a Saturday, it's 3-0. Saturday, can we just play all our games at 3? Well, you win the league. So what you're saying is, the Europa League might be an issue. The Europa League is fucked, to be honest. The Europa League, no chance, but Saturday 3 o'clock, we're laughing. Even the FA Cup, be ribboned. Be ribboned, quarter-fifth kick-offs and all that. But yeah, it was a much needed and fantastic win. Because, we said in the preview that it was, to us it was the hardest game outside the top six, hardest away game. You know, in your mind, whether it don't play out like that, obviously, but when you look at it, Leicester's a really tough away fixture and that's only our second win there. Although we have beaten them now three times in those four games, haven't we, I think? Yeah. That's true. But now, great win. I think it was just so important as well for us to get Silver's first away win out of the way. It's back-to-back wins now as well. And Leicester away, you kind of feel like that made up a little bit for maybe some of the points that we missed out on. I think, you know, before the game, there was people saying in the away end, you know, I'll take a draw here. And I'm thinking maybe ordinarily you might do, but I think with the points we dropped, we needed to make a thing of going there and coming back with the three points. And the way we started the game even, I think we're really suited to playing away from home as well. We started that game so well. It took the lead within, what, five or six minutes. But within ten, we could have been two points. No, with that too. I mean, like you've just said there, it's some game, you look at paper and you go, that's maybe three points. That's a draw. And I think Leicester was one of them where you go, oh, that might be a draw because they're a decent side of the road. So to get the three points, I think just before an international break, it's always nice to pick up three points through that. You know, for a couple of weeks, you're positive about everything. I mean, let's be honest, it affects everything. My mood is completely, you know, exactly. I've had a great week. I've had a great week. Ever can kick off on a Saturday. You have a great weekend. You move to them. And then for the next couple of weeks, you're happy. And then with the games coming up as well, like, you know, the likes of the away games we've got coming up, it's, it was a real big boost. But like you just said as well, the way we played was a big boost. The way we took command in this game from the off and then when they were down to 10 men, I just thought it was, it showed really positive signs where there's, you know, in midweek when we lose the game and everyone's feeling a little bit. Not, not, I mean, not pace. I wasn't feeling after the game, like thinking like some people do. It's just going to go, we go in the right direction, just more like frustrating because we just, we basically, it was in our hands. And I think with a different decisions in the starting 11, we go through comfortably. So it was more annoying, wasn't it? Than anything rather than a missed opportunity. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly it. Rather than thinking, oh, we're shite and silver shite. No, it just wasn't the right side, but it showed on Saturday with, with us close to the best starting 11 that we can have. And that front four that we had. I mean, this is only eight games in under silver. And you've got to look at Luca Dean, which is how he says his name now. And I can't stop saying it like that. And Bernard. It sounds more French. And obviously Richard listen, those four and obviously we keep saying we've still got Mina and Gomez coming. Those four have made such an impact on the side. And then the other players that we've got have stepped up their game. Look at Guilty Sigurdson again. It's just so exciting. Players in their right positions would make them better players. It's madness, isn't it? Yeah. Just madness. You know, I'm dead, dead excited about this. I think, yeah, there's been some frustrating results. And I'm sure there's still going to be bumps along the road. Look, there's probably, there'll be results in a couple of weeks where we'll probably be having a winch again. But I'm just fully confident and behind the fact that we are definitely for me moving in the right direction and we'll continue to improve. Yeah. I mean, listen, everyone's been banging on about playing with Charles and through the middle for a few weeks. He did it. You know, when I think the balance of that front four, the fluidity of them, the movement of them, just showed you, you're hoping when you start a process, project, whatever you want to call it, a new managerial ship, three different terms for you. That you kind of see an idea of the blueprint they want. And I don't think we ever seen an undercurrent. It was just a bit hit and miss. Well, you put evil eye on individuals. Exactly. Whereas I think that Saturday was kind of what he wants. Definitely. You know, we've seen it. I said it a few times if we can turn away performances, get them replicated, the good isn't, we'll be in a much stronger position because we do look so much better away from home. Okay. Other results haven't been there yet. I mean, what we did Saturday, we should have done an Arsenal. Yeah. We scored when we had a chance, you know, our first real opportunity and we built for him there. You know, Bournemouth with a late and Baines, a stupid moment of stupidity away from winning that game. Wolves ref it. I mean, we've seen it again at the weekend. McTomney's challenge in the United Newcastle game a million times worse than Jack. Because it wasn't a foul. It wasn't a foul. And Jack just sent off for the, so, you know, there's been things that have gone against us away from home where we haven't taken that chance. Whereas on Saturday, we just looked so much better. The amount of times we took the ball off their back foot, particularly McGuire, who I think he thought he was playing for us, the amount of time he passed the house, that's what it is. The amount of time we got the ball back, once that's sharpened up a bit more, I think we can potentially eat when you're in the league. When the second half of the league. No, no, listen, what I'd be really interested to know is, is this, was this Silver's thinking from the beginning, you know, when he brought the Charleston in, and when the, because he's basically said he wanted Banat from the start. He obviously wanted the Charleston from the start. Was his idea from the start to play, to move the Charleston into the middle gradually? And maybe the process has been speeded up by the fact that Towson is, I'm not going to have a go at Towson. I think he's a good player. I just don't think he shoots the way we are when we're at our best and it would be up to him to adapt his game to us, rather than us. You can't adapt a whole team to play around one player up front. He has to adapt to you and if that doesn't happen, then unfortunately he'll find his way, he'll find his way out of the team, which he has done, and that, but that's just the way football is. I think for Towson to work on number 10 needs to be quicker. I've said that, I've said that before. You know what I'm saying? There might be games where Towson plays with Bernard, or plays with Richard Alisson and Bernard plays on the left and Richard Alisson plays a little bit deeper and maybe Guilty plays a little bit. There's room for scope. There doesn't always have to be one way. In fact, you don't want it to be one way. You want to be good at two things at least, so the opposition sides don't know. When Bernard says that Silver's had the training with different front-fors, the training, so he's mixed them around, so Luchman's been in there. So that we're all used to playing with each other. They should be because at the end of the day, there's no such thing as your best 11. There just isn't. Best 11 for a game. Because you never ever, you never ever, you never ever get that chance with that opportunity. Unless you're Wolves, you pick the same start on 11 for the eighth game. But even that though, when they can't pick the same 11, how are they going to react? That's the thing. It's all great when it's going great. It's when the wheels come off and you have to. It's fine. Silver says it's fine in solutions. Who's to say that what we've seen so far doesn't put us in a good position going forward when you have to rely on, you know, different players at the back. We've had a different playing in nearly every single position so far because of suspensions and injuries. Who's to say down the line that doesn't, we don't go, we know. We know what works and what doesn't work because of that solution. As I said, teams so far, Bournemouth are probably in the same position as Wolves are. They don't have to change the team that much. What happens when they do have to change their team? Yeah, they're going to fall off a cliff a bit. I'm not saying the I, but it'll just be interesting to, and it'll be the same with Wolves and that'll be where maybe we pick up the ground later on. Well, that's it. I mean, I was listening to Nuno Esper, whatever his name was, the Wolves man and didn't he fell off the beat? Fell off the beat. He's actually quite cool. He was talking to him and going, how come you've been able to do it? And he said, well, yeah, we've got a couple of new players, but the players know the process. And it's the same with Eddie Howe. The players know the process, so they don't really change many people Bournemouth. It's virtually the same starting 11 or 13 or 40. It was like us with mues. Yeah. Because you're at such, you're at a core eight or nine every week. Everyone needs a job. And the minute everyone knows Michael Silvers philosophy and what's expected, we'll get better and better. And this is why when people were, you know, moaning and whinging after West Arm and things like that, and he's not the right man or this is nothing changes and blah, blah, blah, blah. You've got to, and I've said it many times, we had to press the, we had to really let the our men in black thing go in the summer and go and forget everything that happened and go, you know what, this is the first moment. The other fella said that across the park when he was talking about Sherry, Sherry, whatever's name is, said it's unbelievable what he's done with Chelsea manager Lola. He said, because for me, I was making mistakes for the first eight months because he had to find out who done what and who done. And that's normally what football teams about that manager. You come in, you go, like you just said, we've played so, you know, we have played two right backs, two left backs, four centre left, five centre left. Five centre left. Is it five? Not four, but it will be five when Mina comes in. Luchmans had to go, Walcott, Rachealus and Barnard. Dahl, Sigerson, everyone. Dahl, you know, all of I do, Calvert, Luwent, Nias, Towson. But you know, we've used the majority of our squad, Snidlin, Ghana. Yeah. But even if you look at the centre of the park, for a few weeks we were thinking, well, it's Snidlin, Ghana. Yeah. And Tom Davis replaced one of them. And now he's sort of, he likes, now he's thought, well, Ghana can play that role on his own. Mm-hmm. And then on Saturday you're looking and think, can Guilty drop a little bit deeper? Has he showed he can drop a little bit deeper? It's, this idea that you, you do your pre-season and then the manager knows everything about everyone in his first six weeks. It's fluid. Mm-hmm. You, you, you. It should be. It should be. It should be. It should be. It should be. It should be. It should be. It should be. It's fluid. It's fluid. It doesn't, it doesn't stop. You will, every week you will, you will learn something new about a player or a player will pick up expect. Yeah, we'll talk about that goal in a minute but I'm sure John Joe Kenny will have learned quite a lot about defending from that. Yeah. Put it this way, you'll learn more on Saturday than he did the week before. Yeah. Yeah. When he didn't make any mistakes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No mistakes. Yeah. He'll definitely learn a lesson. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I saw that isn't that isn't that that. So that's the so that's the you can find the solutions that problem and if you don't that problems will come continue to come back and ... what you said we did start again really well we were on the front foot and pressing immediately and what it was the first time I would say and I'm with you the grease and space around the cumin where our front players actually look like they were putting the defenders were having to worry the opposition because we were pressing so well you know the we took the ball off them the first couple of minutes and this is it every time he had the ball every time we were on the attack you thought there's going to be a goal here and we took the lead obviously very early on I was something a beauty you know but not just was taking the absolute piss out of them you know when you're just watching the game and we're all kind of going whoa whoa like just like laughing like laughing because we're like how good is this lab here and then obviously that the brilliant little cross across and then the neat little finish from a Charleston as well the two Brazilians you just you just got to think like I'm throwing my mind back to last season you know games going all the way up to Newcastle in the freezing cold to watch a hard-fought shitty 1-0 horrible game of football and then I'm there watching Bernard and the Charleston and Guilfee doing his thing I'm thinking how can people be that upset with this when we've come from that in such a short space of time to go into teams go away from home playing really attractive attacking football and taking the lead winning gate like you know it's it's for me so exciting for me I think Bernard proves that you can have it doesn't you can have everything in football but if you haven't got skill because I look at a look at you look at some plays and they've got all the pace in the world but yet they're still not that good like they're good but they're not that good they don't elevate them skill elevate you to the next level yeah that's why I always say met his messes and much better play than my now the one that whatever anyone thinks because for me it's the skill that elevate you it's been into do that magic little thing I'm at this and we've had loads of fast but look at this one like Aaron Lennon yeah a professional what was ever his end result yeah you know what I mean he could run really really fast and then maybe cut one across just missing like that little but not that he picks the ball up on the left he goes one way then the other way effortlessly uses the pace and that skill and then put up and then as the head to put a good ball in the box but it's his time as well doesn't it you know what I mean like he picks his moment well he knows what's going on that level of skill though that that very few plays in the Premier League have there's a lot of cutting thrust we've got one in them we've got one in the team at the moment I feel woke up like I really like yeah but at times he just he's let down by just not having that that's just that little bit of class well that as well I mean you know the book and that little bit composure as well and I like I like feel woke up but at times you just where is I'm listen but I don't even think 80% yeah and I think it showed in second half but just those moments elevate the best players and I'm not saying he's like apps an absolute well-beater but you swing you look at players in the Premier League like the silver both silver's at City and players like that who just have that do you want to say it will get that level of skill that level of skill that they can turn but what on a diet and there's a touch right in the goal there's a touch and I think it's when he first goes outside before he comes inside and there's a touch and moves the ball but he moves the ball so fast again like away from the defender and then cut round and it's that one touch that a lot of players just don't have yeah they try and team on the face touch and the defender get in but that touch just took him away that open the space for him to move inside it around and it's just it's just it's just rude wasn't he it was just pure rude to them and it was it was delightful to watch and you just think he's the kind of player that I mean I know we haven't seen in play that much than you've just said but I think maybe about 80% fit if this is not only going to get better you've got to think every time he's on the football pitch things are gonna happen and him and then recharlison as well and we've spoke a bit before about the fact we can mix things up change put recharlison back on the left maybe put Bernard through the middle or have toson back in and you know walk up look man got all these options and that's just so exciting imagine going up against our position they're thinking God we've got all this content with and we still don't know what they're gonna do but I know one thing I want I know one thing if totem does play a front he'll score more goals with Bernard on the left hand side simple as that because recharlison on the left and totem at the front recharlison when he picks the ball you know what exactly what he wants to do where this Bernard is is as I said got that little bit of extra ability to pick somebody out yeah the best players slow the game down that's how they always look like they've got time and he always looks like he's got time you watch him at the weekend he does first touch he doesn't he doesn't look at the ball he's looking at the players making pitches like this and he's got that ability in him now there'll be games when he doesn't he's not in the game there will be because that's the kind of player he is but then that's when your other players will come to the fore but he won't be in the game because the team will go we have to mark it so we have to go mark you then that means he's got a bit of space to do and instead of everything and we had if a year's one threat and if you stop that one threat you've stopped everything now you've got to stop recharlison you've got to stop Bernard you've got to stop well cut well cut page where he runs it you're in trouble yeah but it's you've got tickets it's good because it's two different things things as well the crafty ability and you've got the pace it's that power and it's that ability to interchange as well which was really exciting recharlison didn't always stay up front and his movements walk up to come through the middle yeah and can we just talk a little bit about his finish by the way that he hit him into the floor because if he hits it's right McGuire blocks it yeah that's it he plays it down into the floor make sure he gets up and on it it was really good going that goal is going and what was great was we never stopped them we kept going and we kept going at them and you know a little bit of luck we could have been I mean listen in a different game Guilford is winning a penalty there yeah the goalie and the defender well Morgan stopped them going yeah literally just blocked them he clips them but you'd have been it you know some left to give it others this is the one that I get sick of though where you go if that was anywhere else on the pitch it's a freaky well then it's a penalty isn't it we have to stop saying that it's a penalty and it should be made made more of because these things you know again I said to Dave on the way home from the game I said that we could on another day have won that game for 4-1 or something like that but in some ways I was pleased that we kind of just ground out that 2-1 because I think psychologically we needed to do that taking the lead with about 10 minutes to go 2-1 they've got 10 men and you know you're still nervy like the way end was like that we're buzzing and singing but you're thinking and I think the fact that we did we got it over the line was like a big thing because we saw it at Bournemouth we saw it at Wolves even about that kind of time I think that was a that was a big thing to have gotten over that so some one day soon I think we're going to go away from home you know maybe not on the next couple because we've got a few big but someone's going to get an absolute tonking from us soon I think because it is just about that final touch that final finish that maybe players like walk up aren't quite there on toson and you know I think I think we're well jumping ahead so the next step is actually to see those performances at home yeah definitely to actually be like that from the offer at home rather than the away games away you know you're going to do that but we need to start doing that home but yeah we can just be happy we've got two weeks we've got two weeks of happiness in it and then something on it bent again wow you'll be palace as well and then we'll destroy you night of the road traffic destroy them destroy they have it let us know your thoughts in the comments are you still buzzing did you have a boss weekend did you go and see the giants I did these didn't because they're miserable let us know your thoughts in the comments we'll see you later
