 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview joined by Andy Brighton-Hovan Albion, against, not Brighton-Hovan Albion even, got it wrong, against Everton this weekend at the AmEx three o'clock. A stadium Everton absolutely love, and they love going there and not winning games of football. But, streaks may be broken. Exactly, that's what it's for. That's what it's for isn't it? It's a record, it's a day to be broken. Technically it is a record as we have one there so it's a day to be broken. Could call us the green old Abbey? As it was a difficult game for Everton Brighton of a more expansive decision than the Abbey in over the past couple of years. The agency I work for has got a player Bernardo there, and I was asking them how the players are taking him, and Graham Potter when he went there, basically putting his principles straight away, basically getting five and playing long balls. He's basically trying to instill that short passing game after Chris Hutton's 1945 footballing style. They're playing much more expansive, they've got a lot of interest in players in the summer, which will probably get to a couple of them. They're playing alright. I think it's going to take time, it's very hard to go from low block, Graham Murray to trying to be more expansive and trying to open the play out. He's got to be a middle ground where he's trying to expand from there. I think it's going to take him a while and obviously I think this year is just to survive and then we'll start building next year. I think that'll be the plan for him. They've been off for the last couple of seasons, sucked him a while to get up, but got up. On the slide last year. Yeah, and then he looked last year, looked like the day to break. He done alright in the first half of the season and then hit that thing and at one stage I thought they were the team. Yeah, they were just going shots. But they got a couple of big results near the end of the season and just managed to stay up and that was good for them and obviously they've changed the manager. They've got a young manager in. Yeah, pretty positive. They had to spend time with Swansea, spend time abroad. That's the Swansea. Come in. And you're right, it'll take him a bit of time to change, you know, a way of playing and getting new philosophy in there and let everything bed in. But they're doing alright. They're doing okay. Positionally wise, they're below everything in the table, just one point below. But you look at everything and you say, well, I win putters, whatever. They're saying we're bright and I win carries them. It's still all tight isn't it at the moment. So obviously you can't read too much into what's gone on at the moment. But like I said before, they're a different animal this season than what we faced. I mean, the game at the AmEx last season was the most horrific game of football. Definitely of the season. And that's beaten Leicester, Everton Leicester three days later, which was another horrendous game of football. But the bright one, I think, just about shade it. The way it's going ever to win it, corner it and say, go on, isn't this shit? I'm fine. It was a random one. It was about three yards. He's now got a task left. Yeah, he's gone. Continuing ever to the streak of players who don't last long a club score against us. He's gone now, isn't he? Yeah. We hit the bar. It was late and he drew me at the bar, didn't he? Yes, he did, yeah. He was at the post and it was one of those frustrating days. But like I said, you know, different time, different team this year. Same referee. The only referee Andy Maddley's ever... The only game he's ever refereed Everton was Bright and One Everton Nill last year. And he's the referee of the weekend. The only other game he's refereed was Everton Norridge in the Carabaugh Cup, which Norridge also won. So he's quite clearly... One of the Germans. He's quite clearly a lucky charm forever. Yeah, he's like... Like you said, right at the start, these things are there to be broken, aren't they? Looking at Bright now, they lined up last week at Aston Villa in a 4-4-2. They flipped between two formations this season, hasn't he? 4-4-2, that's more like it. I think it's more of a 4-2-2, because obviously you're not going to get more and gross stretching on the wings. They become more narrow trying to create. Conglio, obviously, have a free roll-up front, because he's going to be floating in and behind. More pay rounds trying to get into the air channels. And obviously more pay to your main striker. This is quite interesting. Montoya's been the right back all season, obviously. Ex-barceloness, but into my line, he's steady, I guess. Sands, Adam Webster for big money in the summer from Bristol City. Fairly good at carrying the ball, fairly good at passing the ball. He's the threat of corners as well. Keep Duffy up to see. Yeah, obviously Lewis Stunk. We know he was linked badly with Leicester in the summer. Dan Bayon, he's like six foot seven and playing left back, which is a bit odd. But yeah, he's not bad on the ball here. He's had a couple of good moments this season. So yeah, they've got a nice team. This still has a say. It's going to take time for them to change it up. He won't play this weekend because he's got a sense off. But he was a good sign, the sense that he can do both. He can do the hard work, the Stephen also. You know, be that creative player. But yeah, they've got a decent side. They're midfield too, improper and Stephen's get through a lot of work. They're really hard work. Well, a lot of stuff goes through Dale Stevens anyway. He's there, better known, I guess. And Davey proper gets around the pitch and gets to let himself be known that he's in the game, getting involved in the game. If it goes to a three, then you probably have these three, obviously these three in your centre back. It's Monterey at right wing back. And usually it's, I think Connelly's played there. I think, sorry, Steve Alzati has played there. He's another youth player or Solly Martyr in his fit as well. Well, I suppose Solly Martyr will be the favourite, I think, to be placed out on my this weekend. In fact, he's crossed last year at Gwldwsyn. He's got cross the ball, yeah, yeah. He's got delivery show. It's added that, like I said, they go with three. They play three, four, three. When they beat Spares, they were playing three at the back. You know, three, four, three. Four, four, two, it's being of late. So that'll be a different proposition for Everton. You've got some height as well on the team, which, again, set piece is going to be an important part about, you know, for us. Not conceding silly ones. Not obviously conceding from... Well, a strong-off chef plays, aren't they? And then, to be fair, over the last couple of seasons, Brighton have been strong-off chef plays. And you've got Duffy and Duncan are both massive now. They've talked about Dan Bernay and, obviously, Webster who scored the goal last week off of set piece. He's got cross. He's really got that. At the far post, they haven't gone off to be wary of that. I mean, Everton, at the weekend, we have been, since Michael Silver coming, we've played zone on market. And we've gone through it through the bad times and then the good times. Best of times, the worst of times. And then back to bit ropey. I think that's what we should do. That's what you should do sometimes. And this is what we've talked about with Michael Silver is that sometimes, to get your principles to work, you need to go back to the basics and rebuild. And I think by going back to man to man market, you can sort of just say, you know, you can start working on zone on market and training ground, but then man market, I think every player from when they're four years old, he's man market and Duffy. So it's quite a simple thing. You take that man. I take that man. So it's very easy. It's much more easy if it's zone on market, it's not working. Obviously you need to put a lot more effort to go back to that basic element of man market. I think it helped as well. I think apart from obviously, you had the shot for them. I've got the shot. Halle with the other. But back. Again, there was almost mitigating circumstances around. And they got free off the corner. Don't forget that was a corner that never was. Yeah, exactly. You know, so they be in agony. It looked like they took a whack on the charlots and dragged him back on bit. They're all watching that. As they take the corner. So everything went set. And it's trying to make it difficult in those moments. Concentrating at all times in those moments against the team like Brighton as well, who are very good at set plays. Making sure that was switched on at all times. I mean, like you say, we lost the goal. You can see that the good of some is from a set play. All beer is your corner. And they, in a solid match, whacked it in, didn't they? I think it was a dunker there in. And then down at Brighton, it was a corner, which was unfortunate for them. Everton perspective, because they were going back. And only he was offside. He was standing in offside because he wasn't offside. Because obviously, Eric Gomez. So those two, you know, set plays have cost us goals against Brighton last season. So we'll have to be switched on. They will, yeah. In terms of what we played exactly, it was really impressive. Obviously, we're going to have to sort of tweak it ever so slightly. Because they won't play a single six. They won't play a Dechan Reis. They'll probably play Stephen's and the proper all set. Obviously, the proper does get a bit more round the pitch. But we'll need to stretch them out. And that obviously involves then Andrew Gomez, Tom Davis, a baby Delphi, occupying one of the sentiment fields. So we can get... Based on what we did well last week, he's got a lot of one-on-ones. You know, we matched them. So we've had like five players forward. It was against five of their men. That's what we need to do more of in terms of positional play. And I think it's going to be hard to move Brighton a bit round because they are. They still have got that element of the cutin that obviously cost us something with them the same amount of time. They still have got that organisation. We can move much like Villasith. So I agree with them again, move them round well. And if Andrew Gomez is at his best, and I will be at his best, then we will be able to move them round. We will be able to create chances. I think the way we're set up, it will benefit us. Because Brighton are a bit more expansive now. But I think anyway, the way we were set up at the weekend is the way to try and break down a low block anyway. It is, yeah. We've been to... And we've said this many a time and we've all scratched our heads on the videos and podcasts when everything just going wide and putting crosses in against teams who've got six men in the box and just had to clear doesn't work. Now Saturday, the difference with everyone was there was a mix yet. Yes, we still ended up with 25 crosses, I think. But when you looked as well what areas they were from now, it was totally different. So it was inside the box for them, yeah, yeah. It was a lot of wake-up backs and things like that in the box. So there was, you know, a few of them were from Bernard and a couple was back, I'm not sure. So there was areas of variety in Everton's play at the weekend and I think if we take that to Brighton, then I think that's the way to beat them. I think if we went to them we were a little bit more cautious. I think I don't know whether we're just... I wouldn't say cautious. I'd just say not as gungo. You've got to be wary, of course. In the way you game as well, you've got... It sort of suits us actually because Brighton are going to have to come out of home. Of course, yeah. And you'd expect them to try and win. So that does help us. And this is where I think what I would have liked to have seen from Mark was that he was known as a counter-attack and coach. I'm not saying to sit back, but I don't want to see his control this game. I don't want to see 500 passes. I want to see us direct on the front getting forward quickly. Well, at the weekend, you know, we were averaging around 60% of games, controlling the games over everything. And at the weekend, no, 51. 51. So we literally gave West Amelord a ball and went, go ahead. And the amount of times Everton broke, you know, won the ball back and broke it. We had Andre Gomez with 15 ball recoveries. We had Tom Diles with 13 ball recoveries. We broke the press, you know. Yeah, a lot of analysts have basically been saying for the last couple of years. That's why you see Liverpool player flat three and other teams play three, is why you win the ball, the more of a man advantage you get because a lot of players have ran past the ball. And by giving teams the ball back, not necessarily. It's just by being more aggressive in a sense. And if you're trying to open teams up and you are giving it away, then it obviously involves the counter-press then. And then, yeah. And we saw it on the weekend. Obviously, as soon as the ball was lost, Gomez, Davis, Nishney to the counter-press they won the ball back. Then he played it into men again. Against 5-on-5 all the time. But this was the key. This is where I don't understand. This is where there's a little bit of a contradiction with Marko, was that his play for other teams was different to Olympiacos, Estherill, Sporton, even Wafford, was, you know, spring. The defence should attack very quickly. Bang, off we go. And when Everton did that last season, we were devastating at it. Arsenal at home, let them have the ball. Bang, next minute we're overloading, man United. And we've gone into partners for ball this season of let's have 5-on-5. I think that's an Everton thing now. And I think at times when the Moys had happened as well, where Everton became a good side. And when teams like a Burnley or like a Sheffield United came, because the expectation was to take the game to them, we couldn't do it. Maybe the team at this moment isn't ready to control games, because it depends on the person I use, because I think we can do it. But you need still that movement off the board. I don't think we've had that now with the Wobby, Davis, Gomez back on the team. Bernard obviously being key as well. Because if anyone wants to read it, obviously Greg and Patty did a great article today about Everton and the Athletic. And the way they used Bernard was coming off the wing, overloading rights basically, and basically creating number two, number 10s, which is what he spoke about in that article in Portugal, which I haven't seen yet really. When Bernard plays, he does do that, because he's got the guilty plays, and that right on side. It basically just means you shift in the formation round, rather than a woe behind him working close together, which is what worked against Westam. So hopefully we continue exactly like we did on weekend. I think they'll cause Brighton a lot of problems. They can see a lot of chances against Filler. I think the thing with Brighton, as well as which is going the other way, is that they do cross the ball quite a bit, but they more work it into the box a lot more than last season, whereas they would be taking deep crosses to Glenn Murray with more pay, which we'll talk about in a minute. It'd be only five foot seven. They'd try to overcome. They'd be as small as one. I think they'll average them on 10, 11 deep completions, which is a pass completer within 20 yards of the box. So they're trying to get in and around the box, working into angles. And obviously, for ever, Michael Keynes struggled at times with people's pace and movement, and that's, I think, I think that's going to get high again, I think, in this game, and that's something we need to, you know, the manager needs to work on, is to try and plug that gap on that right on side, because Michael Keynes will be under pressure in this game. No, it was a good article in the athletic, and that little link is, you can get 60% off the athletic at the moment, with the toffy TV link below if you want to look at that. This is Brighton's pass map from last week again, Dale Stevens, if you look at it, it's basically the fulcrum in the middle. Yeah, I think of the lions, the more it is, and then you've got obviously Montauir as well being heavily involved there. That's really down the left. I think, again, this is something Peter Boss has done for the little Eva Cousin. Even though Dan Bayne's quite high there, essentially you'll have three centre backs, and your left back is essentially the third centre back. Yeah, yeah. And then one side is overloaded with your right, and that's what he's done here. Morphe, obviously, was a bit isolated in this game, and Conley, again, using the sort of a free role, really. That's the player we need to pick up. Conley's obviously a young player, and obviously he's going to make mistakes, but he's going to be flitting off the front, and it's two picks, and that's going to be important for Davies and Gomez when we haven't got the ball. It's the drop in. I think Andrea Gomez can do that. He's very intelligent footballer, so that's just something to watch out for us. But yeah. I mean, you can see Stevens effect there anyway. Most passes from Stevens, most progressive passing from Stevens, most progressive carrying, ball carrying from Stevens, most centre, centrality from Stevens. You know, obviously, most progressive pass. He's the fulcrum, yeah. He's the fulcrum, I think. So he's the one who keeps it going. It's really gross that you want to get on the ball more, because gross, you know, he had that great first season, he didn't even got injured in the last season. He's the creative outlet in the team. Obviously, we'll see more march back on the team instead of, obviously, a different type of player. But yeah, I think, Evan, that side's going to be important. And we'll go again to Morphe. I think we'll have more in the second half. Yeah. And Neil Morphe, who you've just spoke about, he's been one of Brighton's outstanding players this season, just coming. This season, he's played the full nine, game started seven of them. Three goals, scoring three, goal every 202 minutes. And I've just not created a lot for him, because he's made chances missed. Most players, Obama, he got 27 last season, for example, so that's even great strikers, missed chances. He's a very aggressive player. He's only five foot seven, but he puts himself about, a menace, a good runner, smart round the box. Brentford got him from absolute back and placed him, sold him to Brighton for 20 million in the summer. They could have signed McBainy from Swansea, who pot that last season. He was really integral, because he dropped off the front and played as a 10 striker and really worked for Swansea last season now. Obviously, he decided to go with Morphe, because he wanted someone to stretch the pitch, which is what he's going to do. So, it is going to be hard for me, and Keane, in this game, I think they have got their ability, and this is a mean of plays, which I think has crossed his fate. I think he'll be the one to, hopefully. Morphe, you're going to get strength, high pressure, plays weaknesses, aerial duels, ground duels, balls and so on. He's a goal scorer, yeah, yeah. He's someone who buzzes around. He's not going to be... He's not a dribble past three players, no score balls. But he's a live wire and they're going to really have to make sure that they're on the middle there, because they don't want to be given... Ey, we're not very good. Well, we're terrible when we go behind in games. So, the first goal will be key. That's a big test, yeah. The first goal will be key for me in this game. I'd like to break that who would be on there, not on this game, but to be honest with you. But that would be nice. You need that out of the way, Shane. I think you do, yeah, when you come back, because it gets the fans back onside, as well. If Mark, who is to turn it around, and you know, we're very early in that stage of who's going to turn it around, then that's the type of thing we need to start doing. And this game, I'm one now, to be honest with you, but the way who needs to go as well, isn't it? It'd be lovely to start winning some games when they're getting the run going. This is the top players from both sides this season, the Cormins, the Schoffers, but Webster, for Brighton, everything's 6.97. He's been their best player overall, solid match. He breaks the press really well, Webster, because you'll carry it like 30-40 yards into the midfield from centre back. Again, though, if you get them to Charleston, run and buzz in and around against Dunkman, you'll have some joy again. Definitely. Goals, obviously, but it's a bit of a hard as now, Evanton's top scorer, with Dominic Alvalun, with Charleston. Can't score, o'r canning? Well, these double-disserts have it last season already. Connolly, with two in Webster with that goal last week of Biller, and the assist, Lewis Dunkwood, two assists already for Brighton. He got Pascal Gross, David Proper for Evan, and Luca Dean with two with Charleston, with two, Theo Waltrop with, and assist last week. It's a game, I feel, Evanton can win it. Brighton, it's a tough game for us. We're not great away from home. The last, you know, some of the stats, our last 10 visitors on the south coast yielded three draws and seven defeats. You know, we haven't beaten Brighton at the amex since they come up. With the draw, we needed a way and runy last minute penalty to get a point there a couple of years ago last season, like we should have preferred disappointing. Hopefully with Hutan, obviously, Evanton's crypt right has been the low block in some ways, and hopefully with Hutan gone, you know, it's possibly more expansive. Hopefully, we find some gaps to explain to them. Hopefully, we can get on a win-and-run. That surprised me. Evanton are only one of two teams you've scored all of their goals from open play. 100% of the goal from open play. It'd be nice to score from a set play. Wouldn't have any chances we had. We seem to be getting closer every week, don't we? It'll be one off, the real one out, cos it didn't cross the line this week. And we'll get it. So you wait a couple of weeks, we'll get one off the corner. Once we start scoring, I think he's going to be a player who can score 6-7 this season. Oh, he's an asset. And that's, that pushes the lead. It's a fair mate. He should have. I mean, he would have unbelievable save from Patricia. Unbelievable save from Edison. So there's two. She had one dish allowed of the weekend. He's hit the pot. You know, he's been unlucky already this season. Early team news, obviously, had a mwy suspender. We know that. It's only March, expect that he plays in Bernado and is carried out both out into today. Won't be involved of the weekend. 64 weeks. And I've got doubts over Fabian Delthmore and Snideland. Yeri Mina. Gent Ocean is out with the green interview. Not simply Yeri's fit, the other two. Yeah, I think. Yeri's the one we want fit, isn't he? Seamus Coleman, obviously available again after a one-match bamboo, hopefully. He's just on the bench. Don't talk about the start in 11, though, you know how it is like. No, no. No start in 11 chat. Bright navritin in around 501 passes per game. Evidence has dropped down to 4-4-6. That's with, I think, a real considered tactic against Westam was not to others much of the ball. Must be more expansive on the ball. Just trying to get it, yeah. It's right to spring the attacks on them and overload them. It is what we did and we did it brilliantly. Both teams have got about three clean sheets this season. Everton create more chances than Brighton per game, but Brighton score more goals than Everton ffasmaire chances. Which is mad, but the problem with Everton is obviously we create chances but it's against teams who are allowing us to shoot from far out. The quality of chances has gone up in recent games because the city game helped tremendously in the weekend where we piled. We had 10 on target from 19 attempts. Keep that up with more games. We'll be flying, won't we? We've got one point on the road this season and we haven't played anyone, so that's disappointing, isn't it? Really? That's the problem, isn't it? That's the thing we need to fix. If we're ever going to become a top six team away, it needs to change majorly. The two records of the teams, both played nine games, Everton have won three draws, won loss five, scored eight, can see the 13. Got 10 points, Brighton have played nine, won two, drawn three, lost four, they've scored nine and can see the 12.9. And in the last four meetings between the two clubs, Everton have two victories a draw and a defeat, that's since Brighton come up. So, I mean, it's going to be a tie, I expect it'll be a tie game at the weekend. And again, you know, obviously, bits and pieces will depend on the availability of Mina because otherwise, Hallgate plays. You just want to continue good performance, don't you really? You want to just see the seeds of hopefully this new start. That's what you want, to see the seeds. I'd like everyone to have another good game because then it puts the doubt that, you know, if everyone continues to have the same game, it means that we don't see them going back to Sigurds and Sniadlin again. It doesn't create that doubt in his mind. So that's what I'm hoping for anyways. It's a bit of consistency. You know, one point from 12 on the road is horrendous. It's up for a team. It's a lot of money spent on it. We shouldn't be having these runs anymore, in my opinion. I think we have to go to Brighton. We have to imprint our way of playing, which was like we did at the weekend on them. They have to make them worry about us. And get at them. We've got players who can score goals. We've got players who can hear Brighton. There's no question about that. Yes, they're a decent side and they put us under pressure. They will, but we've got to ride that. We've got to see their consistency now. You're absolutely right. So that performance that we give against West Ham becomes the norm. And we'll win games and we'll lose games. That's football, but if you get in that level of performance, where we sat here next Monday and we're going, and I go home, and I said to Gregor, Tom Davis and I, wow, we were brilliant, but not. Then we're all fine and that's when we'll know we're on the way. If we sat here on Monday going, it was back to square one. It was too slow. We didn't have any chances. Then the question marks are there again. It's up to Mark O'Suller, really. The team, she comes out for the game. It's up to him. It's his job at the end of the day. If we win, then it'll be a great decision. If we lose, then people will be a big question. At the end of the day, it's up to him. It's his job on the line. He has to make the decision. Even if the team comes out, it has changed. It's up to him what he does at the end of the day. It's much as everyone's wanted to play. It's up to Mark O'Suller. It's up to Mark O'Suller. It's up to Mark O'Suller. It's up to Mark O'Suller. It's up to him what he does at the end of the day. It's much as everyone's wanted to play a certain way. It's his job. If he feels more comfortable with a certain player, he's playing again. That's up to him. I put pressure on you there, Mark. I don't change the team. There you go. I'm not going to do predictions. I'm a band. I'm a band. We're never late anyway. We say we got beat six now while we win six now. I don't know. I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that. Leave it there. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. Give the video a thumbs up. Subscribe if you haven't.
