 Welcome to ToffyTV, it's the Intermatch Reaction League United, one Everton, one another draw, third in a row, three away games in a week that we've been unbeaten in. Take the positives, that's four unbeaten for Everton, four unbeaten. Frustrating night, frustrating night. Number one, the fact that we couldn't play Neil Malpie, which is just nuts, Premier League, it is the 21st century, why don't you not have someone waking who can just stamp her form and say you're available. Frustrating night, we never got the three points. Again, did we deserve the three points? No, probably not, but we had the chances to get them and I honestly don't know how that goes this loud, I really don't. I'm not someone who moans about referees or technology too much, not as much as Baz, but I can't see how he's offside, I really can't. You look at it and I just can't tell where he's offside. I think his elbow is sticking out, but can you score with your elbow? I don't know how he's offside, really, really dancing. We started the game brightly, they, as I think we all knew would come at us, bit of intensity. I think we dealt with that quite comfortably, obviously we changed the system, which I think we looked a lot more comfortable in. And funny enough, the full backs looked actually more attacking playing as full backs and not as wing backs, which is really, really interesting. But I thought we dealt with them quite comfortably, apart from one cross, that one across the box. And then we got the goal, which was a lovely little move. Okay, a little touch of luck here or there in it, but it was a lovely ball by a Wobby and Anthony Gordon finished it brightly again to get his second goal in two games, so well done to him. He has come out the traps with all the talk of him leaving. There's a really, really good finish. And then I'll be honest, I didn't really feel under too much pressure, they huffed and puffed in the first half, but it was nothing. You know, you got their manager making a bell end of himself with all the watch stuff, what a load of nonsense. And then second half, and this is, second half, they came out really fast and we couldn't change or get to grips with what they were doing quick enough. But at the end of the day, it's still a, still a shot, which is, it's like half scuffed and it ended up in the corner. But apart from that, again, they've huffed and puffed. Okay, Pickford's had to make a couple of really good saves, one from Gerrard and he made another one at the beginning of the half. But we've dealt with everything and we've ended up having, we've ended up having the Paterson chance, which I think he just got in front of the goal and just didn't know what to do. Really should be just smashing it in the far corner, but he's just ate it straight at the keeper. The gray goal, which I don't understand why, why it's this, I can't, I honestly can't see why it's this allowed. I can't wait for this new offside system to come in, which is, takes the human elements out of it. I can't wait. And I think, you know, they've done nothing towards the end. They've tried to put balls over the top. I think at the end, we'd run out of steam, oh no, we looked absolutely shattered. And Tom Davis was on a yellow card for a really, really stupid, stupid moment, which was just being brain dead and that's put him on a yellow card. So the midfield towards the end was, had no real effect and we did lose the ball a couple of times, which led to them getting in. But everyone worked the bollocks off and you can see exactly what we're missing, which is someone up front and subs, subs, like I've been very critical in the last two games about about Frank Lampard subs. And I'm not going to, I'm not really going to have a go on tonight because even though he didn't make us any subs, I don't, he would have been making subs for, I think he would have been making subs for the sake of bringing fresh, fresh legs on. But I don't know how much it would affect the game looking at the bench. The bench was, was woeful, wasn't it? I mean, could have brought Alan on for Tom Davis, I suppose. Gomez, I wouldn't have let anywhere near the team. I wouldn't have brought James on. I wouldn't have brought Van Aggrond. This you could have brought Rondon on. And then there's Mills and, and, and Reese Welsh did. I know people will say fresh legs, but sometimes fresh legs, the fresh legs don't get into the game quick enough. They can do more damage than good. So the only one maybe I would have brought on is Alan, but would have Alan, would have Alan, I've got up to pace quick enough. So evident, obviously looks like Garn has flying and he's flown in tonight. So that should get done. We've got Mopai and hopefully one or two more, but who knows, who knows. But we definitely have to get players that can make, give him the opportunity to make changes because they've made what they've made, they've made what four, four subs get out when on, but he came off, didn't he? And we have to have the ability to change players. And just like last season event, one thing that's going to really let us down is the squad. We need to have players that are available to come in and, and help us change games, help us change the momentum in games. But as I said, it's another point. And I've, and I've just seen a few people in the comments saying, well, it's another rubbish team. Yeah, I, I agree in a way, leads aren't that good. And Brentford probably aren't that good. And Villa definitely aren't that good. And Forest aren't that good. And I appreciate all that. I think it does feel like, though, that we are, the team itself is definitely building towards something. We look more solid. The midfield two of a woby and, and look, like they're like, that's the second game together in both those games. I thought they were excellent. I like the fact that we added a third player. And could you imagine garnering that three, that would make a huge difference, a huge difference to our team. I like the four at the back tonight. You know, people often say that Cody can't play in a four. Well, yes, if there's pace over the top, that they'll struggle, but that's why you've got your full backs. I thought Patterson was brilliant tonight, apart from obviously not taking the chance. Gordon played well, Gray was so so. Dwight McNeill was so so. They both worked really hard, but ever need that focal point. It's so clear ever need that focal point up front. And it is about in the next few days, padding that squad out, because, you know, that bench tonight was absolutely shocking. And for him to not feel like he could make a change, for him to feel like he could not make a change is huge. And as I said, looking at the bench, the only one you could really look at is maybe bringing Alan on for Tom Davis, because he was on a booking. And maybe the other one would be to put Rondon on. But then you are sacrificing the shape. And actually, I thought when we had them on the counterattack, we looked like we could capitalise. We just couldn't get on the counterattack enough. We just couldn't string enough passes through the middle of the park, because players were starting to tire. And to me, that's the most frustrating part. The most frustrating part in both games is that both games and I suppose the forest game, all five games, I suppose. But seeing in the last two, you look at those two games and think, if only we could have changed it, if only we could have had someone off the bench to change it and make a difference. And I think you can definitely see progress in the way. We look a lot more solid. And as I said, I think Adobe and Onane. Onane in the last two games, I think, he was knackered at the end. You could see that. But he's got a couple of games under his belt now. But we've got to get players in. We've got to get players in so that we can change games and go out and finish them. But you can't question the work rate and you can't question the organization. All you can really look at is the offensive side of things and the ability to change the match. And listen, you'll hear stuff about the possession and things like that. They had 30%. Sorry, we had 30%. And we had two shots on target, two shots off. But that is the game plan. The game plan is to counter attack. The game plan is to let the opposition have the ball and then break it up and then counter attack. And for the goal, it certainly worked. And for the offside goal, it worked. We did that well, I thought. It's just that we've got to against better teams. We've got to be better out of possession at times. But obviously, we've got to be better in possession. I think that's the most important thing. You've got to take your opportunities when they come. Yeah. Again, it's like sadly I'm frustrated because I felt like there was a game there to win. There was definitely a game there to win. And obviously our next three games are quite tough now on paper. But two of them are at home. So, you know, we'll see what happens. It will be obviously be a very, very tough game on Saturday. But Liverpool have a lot of the ball, but we're used to the opposition having a lot of the ball. So hopefully, you know, we have again, it might be that because of the injuries, we forced us to play forward the back, but that might work. I just, Paterson have not, Paterson offensively has looked good on a times defensive. He's looked, hasn't looked quite on it. But today, I thought he, I thought he looked both going both ways really played really well. So I think Frank Lampard just said basically in the press conference or sorry to BT that he said, I don't have to worry about Gordon in the final two days at the chance of a window now. So obviously, that's he's basically shutting, shutting any talk of him being sold. So there you go. Yeah. Frustrating. Decent point. Obviously, we got a point there last season. A lot of talk about, you know, leads as rejuvenating and they've had a good start of the season. We haven't had a good start of the season and yet tonight, I thought we were, I thought we did well and we're on to three points now. So, okay, we haven't won a game of football yet and that is frustrating but it'll come. It'll come. So, yeah, just gotta, you know, keep the faith. Hope that we can get something Saturday and keep, keep believing that we're building something. So, there you go. I'll be back to do the player ratings in a little bit. Baz will be, Baz will be doing his videos as well. We'll be doing the final word tomorrow live on Trophy TV premiere. So, join us for that. The link is in the description. Yeah, I'll catch you all in a little bit. See you later.
