 Welcome to Toffy TV, I'm joined by Paul McCallister, the match preview. Manchester City at Goodersham Port, the one every Evertonian wants to win. I mean listen, we're in. Not very good form at the moment. And probably the last team you want to face is Manchester City, but before we get into it, this video is sponsored by One Football, One Football is that makes it easy to keep up to date with all the latest scores.

Yeah, we're not in good form and Manchester City next up doesn't get into it really, does it? No, I'm absolutely devastated. You know what I mean? I'm losing sleep over this game thinking about how they're going to absolutely pound us. Yeah. It's going to really, really ruin me well. The thing with City is being serious. They look like they've just got an ars and gear. If we were playing these a few weeks ago, what I thought, I think we can get a result here. Take away the other thing in the background. This was just City 10 points clear at the top. And they were in the form, they were in. I genuinely think we can get something against these. They look like they've got a bit of a soft underbelly. They look like they're there to be get her. Now the other night against Arsenal, they take it on. I think that Newcastle game has shocked them. I think it shocked Pep. I think Pep wasn't expecting that. So he said clearly what's needed to be said to them and I think all these City players are... It's dawned on these City players that Jesus Christ, we might actually lose this year. We might not win this league. If we want this league, we're going to have to turn up and start really, really working hard to win games. I just go to stadiums and just expect teams to roll over for us because they're not going in. Whereas last season, they just had that aura about them where you think there's no point in turning up against these. They're just going to roll us over. I wouldn't say they've been figured out. But I think teams play them now, don't have any inhibition playing. I think teams have raked out. You've just got to go at these. You've just got to stand tall to tell them. You've got to stand tall to tell with them and you might just get something out of it. And it's where for a few teams. So I think if we are going to get something, that's all we can do. We've just got to take the fight to them. We can't just be sitting back and open for the rest, I think. I mean, that Newcastle game was weird because the City should have put them to bed. They had more than enough chances to be three or four on the left and ended up losing the game ultimately. And you've had it probably, you know, Guardiola had said before that game, you have to win every game there because Liverpool will win in every game and to lose it, then obviously it had to be focused on. And then he got the boost the next night with Liverpool not winning obviously against Leicester. And then he was stronger the weekend against Arsenal. Obviously he would have called them this before Liverpool have played West Ham as well. So we don't know what's happening, but the way if Liverpool wouldn't have to not win against West Ham, then City could actually go top with Beacons. So that would be an extra car for them. And that perspective, obviously we're playing. I still regard these the best side in the league. Liverpool have been brilliant, don't get me wrong, but for me City is still the best in the league. And when we went to Etihad before Christmas, I thought everything done alright. Typically we shot ourselves in the footway, you know, the three goals could have been dealt with a lot better. You know, we give three poor goals, but we had chances of our own that day in over at Charleston. We missed one early on and we'd had a Bernard, shot very early, that just whistled wide and we had... It's like Walcott in that goal as well, doesn't he? Walcott in the second half, I should have scored, you put it over, not to mention Calvert-Lunes' goal. So we gave him a good goal and Pep Guardiola was... He mentioned Everton as one of the only three teams that hadn't changed the way they played when they played him this year. I took it as a compliment as for other people. We're like, well, so what? We lost, whatever. But for me this one, I don't know how we approach it because we're just defensively, we are horrendous at the moment. And we're playing against a team that can, you know, space but six past us. And go to somewhere we've been defending alright. At that stage, well, I say alright, better than you are now. So how do we, you know, in your mind, how do we keep these up by? I don't think you can keep them up by. Do you know what I mean? I don't think we can anyway. I think the only way you're going to get anything against these anyway, the only prayer you've got is just go for it, go at them and hope that maybe they just... Have an off-night or something? Have an off-night or just you get a bit of luck. Do you know what I mean? Like Newcastle did. I think that's the only way you're going to be, you're not going to shut these down. You can't do that. Have any of the games they had this season not scored? You think of any of them? I'm feeling, I'm feeling, I'm mad at Mr Leip Enderby. Oh, it's a good one. Have any of the teams kept clean sheets? I can't think of anything. There's not, well a plus, what are the plus? 46. Stupid. You know, wait, wait, zero. And they're plus 46. So that tells you that there are 26 points ahead of us in the table going into this. Scored a lot of goals. So the army, they've won 19 of their 25 games, lost four games, which is a bit bizarre. They lost a bit of a palace, which was a mad result. That was another game where they took the foot off the pedal. He was so far ahead, but weren't scored goals. Got a wealthy goal palace to win. He kicked on, I think that the thing with them, lost a Chelsea didn't last the first of feet. I think the thing with the city is that they do give you chances because of the way they play, but they draw you in. And we saw that a goal doesn't last year, obviously when I let ice with the manager, the first half, they just blew us away, didn't they? Yeah, it's blasphemous. Blasphemous. It's out of the middle now doesn't mean. One second later. They were up. They were up. Yeah, they were over, and they took the goal kick to the halfway line. He went bing bing, and it was literally that out quick. We could have gone 1-1 and we didn't. 20 seconds, we were 2-0 down, and then 3-0 down. And although we won the second half for Sam Allardy said at the end, it was very much a case of they just played, they just kept us their arms length, and they were just slapping us about a bit. Again. The first goal important, massively important in this for us. You'd like to think so, but we got the first goal against space, and still got blown away. Do you know what I mean? You're not giving me any confidence here, Paul. You're making me terrified before we've even started. I suppose, do you know what I mean? I don't think De Bruyne's quite at the level he's people of. He's had his injuries on me. But a Guero's just, it's an atrix. You'd like to think that's a Guero's goal done for this week. Maybe he'll sit back and think, you know what? I can put my feet up on Wednesday night now. I'll just hit an atrix against that asshole. Someone else can score against City, against Everton rather. But I don't know, it's company fit. He's been on a bench, he's been in an office house. I mean, would you just, from Marco Silver's point of view, obviously a lot of people haven't got over him, and justified because he's not performing. He needs a result. He won't give a shite about what's going on, or what the fans might think. You know it's going to be like a lot of fans. I'm not going to be devastated if we lose this game. No, no. But Silver want this, Silver knows he's got to get a result. And I think above him, the people like Micheri and Brands, they'll be wanting the results. The other thing will be entering there. What happens if it's, what happens if Everton have a right good goal but lose the game? Do you think that would be enough for some fans? Say we put in a performance and it ended, you know, 4-3 or something. But we looked like we had a really good goal. Do you think that would be, do you think for some people they'd go, alright, we weren't very good against Wolves. We've had a real good goal against the good side here. We can take that into Wafford at the weekend. Or do you think it's solely about a result this Wednesday? No, no, I think it's the performance. I think the fans, a lot of fans, are just desperate for something to get behind. They want to see something, don't they? Yeah, just some green shoots of recovery. We want something to claim to thinking, right, if we can just keep doing that, if we can just build on that, then we'll be okay once it's all yet to perform. If we can put a few goals past them, I think a lot of fans will go, you know what, there is definitely something to work with. This team isn't just completely rubbish. All these players are not just all crap on each other, there is something to work with there. Maybe the manager's on something, oh, we didn't win the game, but I really liked how he changed that up. I think it's the performance, yeah. I think if we were to lose this game for free, I think that would do a lot more facility than it would be if he just squeaks a crappy one, and we just would defend him back to the low. I think a lot more, fans would take a lot more out of it if they just see the players really get into it and buying into the manager type thing that we can think, right. All right, we didn't get the result this week, but if we're playing like this now, imagine what we'll be like next season, if we get a few more players to add to this. Yeah, it's the same with Liverpool, we didn't win it. The game played so well in the game. It kind of helped the sting a little bit, do you know what I mean? That we played so well against such a brilliant team. Jesus Christ, imagine how good we are. We had to start our process there at the end of the years. They were already winning stuff and challenging stuff. Imagine how good we'll be in a year if we're playing like this now with some of the shit we've got in our squad. What would you do for me or personal wise? Cos, obviously, we tried. I think we're all a little bit bored of our formation now. We're not getting the results we feel like we should be getting. We've won one of our last six home games, which is terrible. And especially when you consider in that time, we've had Newcastle, Wafford, Leicester, Bournemouth, Wolves. I should have won every single one of them. OK, Tiggs, Bairz, Arifet. The other five, we beat Bournemouth. The other four, Newcastle, Wafford, Leicester and Wolves. And we haven't beaten any of them. We scored many goals of any of them. We scored. We didn't score against Leicester, did we? We got two against Wafford, one against Newcastle, none against Leicester and one against Wolves. So we've got four goals of four games. Four goals of four games. Against that, we're all pretty shaky. We're all in that middle section, Arifet. For us not to beat teams like that, one win in six games and nearly six fixes at home is at Apollo, as far as I'm concerned. Especially when we know the next five are five at the top six. So what would you do? Formation wise. Would you change it or do you think it's personal or do you think it's... I want to just see us play a traditional 4-3-3. Something, yeah. I don't know about Guy. What's Guy's situation? Is he still so clean? Is he injured? I know they say he's injured, whether he is or not. If Guy can play, then he definitely comes in. Yeah. Luke would be an obviously a back home. No, he's gone straight red, didn't he? It's a one match, wasn't it? It's a one? It's a one game. Greatfuls panach yn ôl, eh? Yeah, no, os yn ffail yn cwnddoch. No, no. All right, yeah. Team back in. If me and his fit have played me in it, we're probably not going to be. No. Do you know what I mean? Or you go for it at the back? I think it's not, shouldn't you? Well, I think that's what we probably should go towards now. I think if that a few months, obviously when they're all available, maybe try and mix it up a little bit that way. Yeah. In the midfield, he has played a lot recently. Would you bring Snarl on back? Not if Garners back though. I think if, because I just don't think they work together. No. Because they both do the same mix, I think. The big one for me is Guilfee Sigurdson. I will play him. He's the big one for me, because I think if Garners fit, if he's fit, put him back in, and you'd have him, go on me, who I thought was decent on Saturday. Wasn't brilliant, but I thought he was better than he has been when he's taken off. And then, I just take Guilfee out at the minute. I just don't think he's performing. So it's a choice then, whether you go with Cairn Davies, or you go with Bernard in that position. And then maybe have Richard Charleson, I don't know, maybe stay with Jeng, and maybe a Luchman on the right-hand side. Yeah, I'd have Richard Charleson and Luchman in the side of Jeng, but stay close to him, don't pull the line and leave him on his own in the middle, and get close to him. Do you know what I mean? Work in a little triangle. Force them back. Yeah, swap around a little bit. Perius, just run around and drag their plays out. Sweat a little bit. Do you know what I mean? And toss and drop in a little bit and hold the ball up and let these two work off. Do you know what I mean? In the middle, there's no place for Sigurdson. I wouldn't put Sigurdson there. What do you want to do? He's not going to get any space to get his head up and put a plaster into these, because they'll just be on them really quick. He wants the ball winning back with it a few seconds, doesn't he? A few seconds, yeah. So, I'd have Gay there if we can have him there. I think there's an argument putting Schneidl in there because I just think we'll lead someone who's a bit... What's the word? Discipline do the shit you think of physically. Just figure. Yeah, sort of think someone, when they're on the ball, you might put his foot in and tackle them. That's what I think. Not someone who, when he's on the ball, I don't expect him to do anything. Get the ball. I'd have McAfee. I'd have McAfee, but where is he? I don't know. He was sub against Huddersfield, wasn't he? Yeah, was he... Was he on the bench? He wasn't on the bench. No, I saw a woman. Because he got a plaque. Or maybe he was on the back. I can't even remember. I don't remember. I think it was him. I think it was him. I think the thing with McAfee is what McAfee will do again. I mean, I don't know what the situation is with him, because he can't... He was sub against Huddersfield. You don't want him. Why don't you just get a long amount? Because I just think he presses those needles in the hand and makes it difficult for players. It'll be interesting because obviously the man has just come out and given an interview to the written press. He didn't give this in his poach mat, but he's given an interview to the written press saying he's told, you know, he's angry with the players now and he's going to point the finger and he's going to say a lot of stuff. I don't know whether he did say it the way he said it now, though, because I think what's happening is I think he's realising. I'm actually under a bit of pressure now. You know, a few months ago after Westamon, he was like, they're not doing what I said. That was early on. Yeah. And people were just like, oh, fair player. You know, he's getting questioned and he's getting it from everywhere. The media are on his back because obviously a lot of them are albyses, mate. So they're highlighting everything he does. And he's getting questioned rightly so by the supporters because this isn't good enough. You know, where are the changes? What are you doing? Shari got that line in as well. Shari has the AGM. Listen, people have said I've overprotected them. I just play devil's advocate because I'm not sure if he's the right man or he isn't, but I just don't see how we can continue to keep chopping them on. You know, go on, get rid of that and get rid of his coaches. It wouldn't make anything better. If he went tomorrow, it wouldn't make anything better. No, it's a bit. So what we have to do is everybody who's questioned him is absolutely right. He should be questioned. So what he has to do is show people evidence that he's sucked that on board and he's doing different things because if you continue to do the same thing with the same result, it's the first sign. It's what qualifies madness, isn't it? Insanity. It's the same thing over and over again. And expecting different results. It's not all of a sudden going to go, oh everything, it's perfect. It's old, yeah. Those 30 games, it's come good because it's not like, you buy into it if we were looking like it, everything was clicking and we were just getting the results, you were looking and going. It looked like that to start with. It did. It's human season. October, November, we were on it. We were winning the ball back. I think we said in the final wave, we were number one team for pressing and for recovering the ball and chances created, we were up there and all of a sudden, it's just that disfaited. It's fell off a cliff on it. Disfaited to north to a slow side-to-side pattern. You'll see a team on Wednesday you press high, press fast and quick and move the ball quickly through the lines and you'll see everything, the opposite of that because we're quite slow in possession. It's lack of physical and lack of energy. If we're to get anything, we have to match their work rate and we have to take better care of the ball because if you give the ball away to these, bang bang, they're in, likes a sani, we'll just destroy you and I think that's the fear, I suppose, from our perspective. As I said, we're going to need to take care of the ball. That's why I know they don't wait to get it traditionally, but I just think you're going to need someone in the middle of the part. When we get the ball, we keep the ball. So if it can't just have someone who's on the ball and then looking to just palm it off as quick as you can, but I wouldn't have Sigarton there because I don't think Sigarton, I don't think he's got the pace. He's not going to dribble past anyone, is he? And if he gets his head up, who's he going to give it to? Do you know what I mean? I just don't think playing a number 10 type. I think you need someone who's a bit more reigning type thing. So if McCarthy's fit and he's wearing to go, I don't see why you wouldn't give McCarthy a go. I wouldn't play Davis. Even if it's set the tempo, McCarthy, if you just say it, just do 55. Just go out and get into someone quick and get the fans up. Anyone going, get it on a pitch, press it, it'll encourage other players to do the same. That might be what we need. And then the fans are buying, when the fans haven't go. Well, these are having a right go go tonight for us. You know, I mean, you know, obviously the idea. We've got the other thing in the back of our minds, but that's Evertonians watching an Everton team. If you see the lads running hard and working hard and getting in amongst it, you're enthused, but as a fan base, you're joining. And that's when Godderson becomes as difficult to play. Into the lights, yeah, at the night, yeah. You know, because that's what we're going to need against these top five. The better than us, comfortably. The only way we're getting results is if the fans really get behind the players. But the players have to give the fans something to get behind, yeah. It's almost like trying it. It's come together as one because technically we're not we're not good enough to beat them, are we? No. But you know, you don't want to get them but you don't want to. Yeah, it's not played. It's not top trumps, is it? No, it's not played on paper. No. I think we can get something against these, but as I said, sometimes you might just need a little bit of luck for it. It could just be, we have a shot, it's someone's ass, it goes in, and that's what the fans react to. Or it could be something, it goes in a way, maybe they get a dodgyf, set piece, or the referee's a knobhead and they won't get annoyed. The one thing I'd be surprised is if they scored a set piece against us. Asien, I mean, it's not a box on it either because they don't traditionally do that. They don't, but then we are, we could probably be outjumped by, but imagine, we were out there. Silver all, Silver all scoring either. Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Little, Mae gynnwys iawn, mae gynnydd iawn.

It just won't break for us or the referee's an ass and he's given them everything or someone's really unlucky. Like if they have a shot it's the post, it bounces on. I can pull up with all those other things. I've got a bit of a bad look or a referee being a dick. As long as I can see the effort, it adds us to the players. They want a score.
