 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the start and 11 show Manchester City versus Everton at the Etihad 12-30 kickoff, going to be a tough game, we all know that, but you know, let's get it out the way and over and done with, let's get into the team, in goal Jordan Pickford, obviously this in Virginia came in for the Cuck games did well but Jordan Pickford again showed last week and against Fulham, why he is Everton's number one and why he is England's number one so busy day for him, could do a bow for them in goal if we're honest but yeah it's going to be a busy day for them I imagine so he's going to have to be at his best. Back four, right back I am going to go for Ben Godfrey to continue in there, I think the last two games he's done all right and I think last season when he played in three I thought he did very very well to get under harland's skin and that might be something that we need against Manchester City this time out, just wind them up a little bit, just put them out of his stride and you know he's not going to be as close contact if he's going to be in the same team. He's playing at right back but his power and his pace his recovery pace is hugely important and maybe what he lacks in some departments of his game he makes up for in being able to get back and put in those last ditch tackles and blocks and I think he's been doing all right with Seamus Coleman back it gives him a little bit more breathing time and maybe you can bring Seamus Coleman on later on in the game. If we need to be a little bit more I don't know cautious or maybe move to a three at the back who knows but I just think I think he deserves to stay in the team and I think that's the most important thing I think he deserves to stay in the team so he starts at right back on the other side. Michael Lenco obviously he's been doing very well this season and has improved massively and again that defensive stability is so important and he's been a big part of that and he will just sit in and do his job and that's so key in these games. The centre backs James Tarkowski and Jared Branthwaite. Again it's going to be an important day for those two. Jared Branthwaite going up against Harland who didn't feature in the game over Christmas so that will be an interest and balance battle to see where he is in his development. Tarky obviously we know what he brings and he loves these games but it is a little bit harder for I think some like James Tarkowski won't have maybe someone to mark the entire game. He'll try and get on Harland as well but I think that's where we do struggle when players come off the centre backs and they're not marking someone for the entire game. Tarky loves a battle. I don't think City always give you a battle just because of the way they play so those two are going to be on it as are the other two so the whole back force is huge and important for this game and it's why obviously it's why stability has been huge and why we've been getting so many clean sheets. In some midfielder just a guy on a guy I thought he was excellent last week returning from the Afcon. I thought he was brilliant. Probably be man of the match maybe. I think I give Branthwaite just because he scored the goal but he'll be hugely important again. Midfielder is where Manchester City just get over the ball and Roger is obviously probably being the best player in the world in the last year. Pound for pound being unbelievable and it is difficult stopping him. We didn't have a disagana guy the last time we played them and maybe just the introduction of him in that midfiel might be able to break up the play a little bit or just stop them doing what they want to do. It's difficult, it really is difficult. James Garner alongside him doing something similar so obviously we've got to be very destructive in there with those two. If Aunana had been available I'd have gone for the three of them and I know the manager said he's back but I wouldn't risk him for this game. I'd have him on the bench so we have got another centre midfielder available to us but I don't think I'd risk him for the start so I'm going to put Jack Harrison ahead of them. That continuity of the last few games he's going to have to do a lot of hard work in there. Add one another midfielder in there, a proper centre midfielder if I was given the choice but I don't think we have got the choice so Jack Harrison in there. On the right, Ashley Young, I think he's done well the last couple of games. Again, he'll be responsible for a lot of defensive work, getting back, doubling up, stopping man city from having the space so he'll be more of defensive winger than a player flying forward. That will stop us playing, of course. It hinders us going forward. We don't want to be camped on our own half but I do think he has got the experience to get forward and get into the final third of the game. That will be reliant more on Pickford's kicking and getting us into those areas rather than playing through those areas. We're not going to play through Manchester City, let's be honest. On the left hand side Dwight MacNeill, I think it might have been the player that sacrificed if we'd had another available midfielder and Jack Harrison had gone over to the right. But I think what MacNeill does give you is the set pieces, which has been such an important weapon for us. The Dean Swinger to the back post has been massive for us this season and we've seen it again last week with Jack Harrison's goal, which should have been Dom's goal. I think that's so important and I think that's why the man just played him every game because he hasn't had very little choice but I think if it comes down to a choice sometimes, does he leave him out? I think those set pieces are so important. I don't think he's been great of late. I think he's been rushed back from the injury. I think he was rushed back from the injury at the beginning of the season and I just think it's meant that he's had a bit of a disjointed season so far. But he will start on the left, on the front, Dom and I can't believe it and he'll be so important for us as an out ball. I think he's improved the last couple of games. I think he's got better. I thought against full and made improved. I thought last week again he improved. I still don't understand why it wasn't his goal. I really don't but he needs it more than anyone but I think there's an out ball that's hugely important. Again, Beto hasn't done enough to say to me that he should be starting games and he's not getting near Beto and we don't really know how to use him in the channels either. Beto coming on later on the game may be exposing city's high line if we can get him in correctly but I think we're going to go long so much in this game when we've got an opportunity to get those wide players high and get Jack Harrison on the ball when we can. It's going to be very, very difficult. We think we all know that. I think we just have to make sure we don't concede early. We'll see what happens. Let me know what you think.
