 Hello, welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview of some versus Arsenal and Gunson Park, 4.30 on Sunday, a chance to get our first three points by your confidence aren't you, that can feel it, feel it in the room, flying, using my confidence for this one. To be honest, I am more confident than I should be for a game against a very, very good side, due to Everton's recent history with Arsenal and Gunson, I think it's five victories in six or something like that at Gunson, so yeah, I mean it's a game we've done historically quite well in recent times and they've had really good sides in all of that time as well, so it's about time we won a game of football, we've scored a few goals in the last couple of games and to be honest, villar aside, we've actually done much better than our goal return and our points return says, that being said, we'll have to be our absolutely best and I think we'll probably have to have a bit of good fortune as well to beat them. Well at least we've scored goals, I mean we've scored goals now, at least we're off the mark, that's one thing to not worry about anymore. Check, and we've got our first point. Check? Yeah, absolutely, we've got an opportunity to catch Arsenal at the cold, coming off the international break, not much time to train, you've got the travelling as well, so there's an opportunity there, we'll have a little bit more time and for those I think it's a little bit more, straight forward isn't it, a little bit root one when it comes to what we probably need to do training wise. And also there's some like positive things as well isn't it, you've got, you know, it's Beto's debut at Gouldersham Park, which is good, loads of people will be really excited to see him after obviously the goal in the league cup in his performance last week. There's less pressure because of Dominic Arvill, I imagine will be on the bench, so there's no pressure there, straight away you're taking away that. I think that I will be full kick off today, I've seen what the team is, I think recently that's had a bit of an impact on some of our, not performances but the mood going into the ground. I mean I don't know what the mood will be like going into Gouldersham with other things, but at the end of the day it's a big game and if you can go in and think we've actually got a few players back, we've got a centre forward, we've got a centre forward on the bench, straight away just like those little things can pick you up for a game like that, get the fans onside with his last two games. It's been obviously, you know, the first game this season, Michael Keane being involved and then, you know, it's, yeah, so I think there's a little bit more positivity about anyway. Yeah, definitely, and again, not a single player's out, but if we've had better for the opening two games of Gouldersham, I think the feeling would have been totally different. You're absolutely right. Not having the striker in and not being available for those two home games, which let's be honest, they were very, very winnable home games and they both played out that evidently they won both of them. The chances created, the shots on target, the XG in both if you want to use that as a valid excuse or a valid argument rather. I think evidently the one both of the games are home and going into the ground on both of those days you were a bit like, wish we had him and I wish we had him. You're right going into this one, we should have done the Calvallun back in the squad, Dwight McNeill should be back in the squad and we've got better. And that is, that's a big boost for Sion Dwight and for us as fans, so the mood should be different, albeit the opposition is way up on anything we've faced so far this season. You're right coming off the back. I'd rather play Arsenal this game than in another couple of weeks when they're back on it and they're back in the groove, so to speak. So they've made a very, very solid start of the season but full-on, trough a point off them at the end of the week. So they're not perfect right now and this is our opportunity to try to get us off the mark in terms of winning games or football. Sion Dwight needs a win, Everton needs a win and in front of our own fans we go to Brenford the week after to tricky games as well. We've got to give it everything unlike I said before, hope that they're a little bit short on the day, hope that we aren't and hope that as in February when we beat them. Although we were deserved to win this in February, so I was going to say we had a little bit of good fortune, wasn't about good fortune in February. We deserve to win and we deserve to win by more goals. This time maybe we might need a little bit of rubber degree which we haven't got. And we certainly didn't have last time out against Sheffield United with their second goal in a post coming back hitting pick for them flying in. We've not had that little rubber degree, so hopefully we get that on Sunday. Yeah, you mentioned obviously Arsenal Stade, you know, two wins and a draw at home. So, to be Crystal Palace away was obviously a tight one, to have beaten Forrest at home. But all the games have been close by obviously Manchester United last time out which was obviously two late goals. Obviously the third one come off the back of United going for it late on, but a lot expected of them this season. What have you made of them so far? Yeah, I don't think they've been at their best so far, but they've got the job done albeit bad a full on game which was probably might have been a little bit of over confidence, you know. I don't know, obviously not an Arsenal fan, they'll be able to tell me better but they'll look at that as drop point, absolutely. And we saw full on day one and they went very good and they ended up beating us. So, they'll be ffiuming that they've dropped point against them. And Arsenal will get better, Arteta drives them to get better if you've seen the documentary, you know what he's like. They've got some good players, Declan Reich is a fantastic sign for them. Sack is in great form, they've got threats all over the pitch, all the guards fantastic. They've got Martin Elly, he's a real live wire, Gabriel Chazouche, he's always does well against everybody. He didn't play in the game in February. And they've got Eddie and Kettie, he's very good as well, so you could sit here and go through their squad and their team and be worried about it. But I look at it and think well, you know, the game's setting against Fulham, two goals from Fulham. Arsenal's defence not perfect, United scored against them. So, they're not at the defence of best right now and that has got to be something we look to play on. They are obviously a very offensive side and we look at the team that played against Manchester United. You know, in Kettie, Sack, Martin Elly, Havertz, older guard, you know, this five day Declan Reich provided the protection and yet he scored the second goal in the game. You know, Zinchenco, he was at left back but was wandering over to the right hand side when they were in possession. You know, that's a very attacking side and so far this season, they've had a hell of a lot of the ball, you know, in the games. I think it's for us, they had 82% against Crystal Palace, I think it was over 50% and they had 10 men for a lot of that game. So, we know they're going to have a lot of the ball but you think having that protection of Declan Reich is one of those major reasons and without saying, could he be the difference from last season? Last season, we did win the game in midfield, didn't we? We really got in them and broke it up in there and it was a real force, something that we haven't seen before that. We were going into those games playing five at the back rather than having a strong midfield. So, he'll be massive for them only simply because of, you know, like the likes of older guard and have it complain midfield but he's the only real box-to-box midfielder, innu? Reich is fantastic and he could be the difference. I mean, we've seen him quite a lot with Westam. You know, we beat Westam at home last year and remember even Dan at Westam. It wasn't like he ran the game. The one game he did run in recent times was when Westam beat us at home a couple of years ago when he was tremendous but in general, we've actually, when we've played, we've had plays we've done okay against him but I do think he's a tremendous player and when you're in a midfield with older guard, he was fantastic. And you talk Kai Havett, he's a little bit of a, he's been a bit hit or miss at the moment but very early in his career and I think he was brilliant in Germany, didn't seem to fit. Chelsea, although we did get the winner in a Champions League final, for Chelsea, despite people saying, you know, he was a failure there, I don't think he was, he just didn't do as well as he may be called. I don't know, I think he will do well at Arsenal but we just got to, you know, we at Armidfield just got to kind of do what it did back in February which was win the battles. I expect Arsenal to have 70% of the ball. I think I haven't tried to hit it on the counter attack a little bit and he'll try to exploit Nancy Hume's pace up against Ben White and now White's not exactly slow but I think he's still for me a centre back playing right back. And obviously having Dwight McNeill on the other side, he'll be tasked, I guess, with trying to pin his inch and go back a little bit because his inch and go so to go football or so. And then it'll be interesting to see how Beto does against Gabriella now. He come off a Brazil but I think he was involved in the second one and Salabar is a tremendous athlete so it will be interesting to see how we approach it and we will, at times, have to be direct on that, Gal. It can be probably the only way we can deal with it and keep it tight because these will create chances. Yeah, we can't give up anything cheap, can we? No, we've got to make sure. Make them work forever. Obviously one of their big danger plays, I mean, there are a lot of big danger plays but obviously Sacher, tablogares numbers, played four, two goals, one assist, two goals with his left foot. And the shot per game is 1.3, there you go. And as you can see, predominantly on that right-hand side, so whoever plays left back. He played against Michelinco last week, I don't know whether that will... Actually Michelinco did okay against him in terms of 1-1-1-1 because he stuck to his guns. When you give that job to Michelinco, I think that's when he's at his best. When he's forever and when he's asked to do that job 1-1-1 and he has to stick to it. So that'll be an interesting one to see if the manager does bring him back into it. Let's just have a look at the evident team from the last game out. Yeah, so as you mentioned there, Dwight MacNeill is probably going to be coming back into the side, give us more natural width but on the right-hand side, which obviously did come on against Sheffield United on there. Do you think that can work for us with Dan Doom, having Dan Doomer on the left? And obviously with him being on loan and having scored a couple of goals already and being a different kind of threat like the second goal against Sheffield United, do you think that's where Dwight MacNeill will feature? Possibly unless the manager just flips them round and you have MacNeill off the left, which is where he obviously enjoyed a good spell a season for us and then Dan Doomer goes over to the right and does the same. The job on the right would give him his right foot. Otherwise we've got two invaded wire players having me cutting in. I think the two key decisions I think for the manager of the weekend and the fullback, James Garner seems to like. Dwight MacNeill's going to come in, that means Garner's going to come out because I imagine he's going to play the Corey O'Nana and the Patricia Garner guy. So does James Garner replace Patterson at right back? That's one. I thought I personally think Patterson will play but you never know. And then like you just being talking there with the other side, is it actually young up against Sacre or is it Michael Encold to do a manmar? Michael Encold is a defensive left back, we know that. And you're right when he just got that task of going mark that player. Generally does that okay? It's, you don't get the offensive side of it with Michael Encold. The offensive side of it rather with Michael Encold. I wonder as well the two wide areas. Patterson's a little bit more of an attack on fullback and he's up against Martin Elly. Does that mean that it could be Dwight MacNeill over on that side? Because he'll help Patterson out when he's in check on Martin Elly. So therefore on the left hand side it might, because Dan Dukman is an offensive player, it might actually be better to play Michael Encold rather than actually young who does try to creep forward as well. So I think that's where, for me, that is where the manager's got the two decisions. It's a fullback. What do we do with James Garner? Does he go to right back? He did well there against Don Castersech yn Arffin. He's done well for England. I personally would stick with Patterson and have Garner probably on the bench in this one. Because I feel like we need the three we've got in midfield to do what they're doing. Yeah, absolutely. I mean once Jack Harrison's back, there becomes a question mark then over, does Dwight drop into centre midfield as a double eight and almost replace the Corae at times, because he's somebody who'll travel with the ball or is it Dan Dukman off the bigfeller and you have a double six almost. So the manager will have some of those options and all the Corae gets us goals and he has been important for us. But it just gives the manager a different way of looking at it. But I think on Sunday those fullback positions, those fullback picks could be vital for everything in this game. Yeah, could be really interesting. Obviously that would be part of the plan, whatever the plan is for the game will involve that. Dwight MacNeill last year was brilliant in the actual game. The amount of work doubling up on Sacher, he was brilliant in that game. It was the beginning of his redemption coming back because he just worked so hard and he doubled up. We haven't got the secret weapon this year though. Big mobs to come off the bench and wind in Tiencow. No, but we have got Dom on the car with Loune who could come off the bench wearing a Batman mask. Well, do you know? Do you think there's not been enough of that for us? Someone wearing a Batman mask? Yeah, I believe so. And we're dobbing. See, you've got Batman and dobbing. Batman and dobbing. There you go. There's nothing else to say. There's nothing else to say. But obviously that's going to be an interesting one though, isn't it? Because I'd love to see Beto and Dom on the pitch together. But I don't want to see us Dom on the pitch together because we need to get an equaliser or whatever. But it wouldn't be lovely if they could both get on the pitch and the manager could use them together. I mean, listen, Beto getting used to the game. He's so untired against Sheffields United. The last 15 minutes, the whole of that front three, we're just gone even though Dwight MacNeill had only just come on. And that sort of allowed Sheffields United to come back. We can't really allow that in this game. So that might mean Dom comes on for Beto. And that'd be brilliant because you've got continuity there. You've got freshness there. And it takes the pressure off Dom as well, whereas again... On off Beto. Yeah, on off Beto, yeah as well. So that's a nice issue to have, isn't it? Yeah, absolutely. And I think if you're playing the two of them, you see someone like Arsenal, it's almost perfect to play the two of them up right up against their two centre backs. Because what you can do is you know you're giving the ball up. So really, you just start playing direct and you have your double six. So you're almost playing a four to four at times against them. It might just be a little bit too early within this stat, the manager does that. But those two together, particularly at home, could be a handful for some teams this season. You'd have to pick and choose the games, of course. But like you say, a game in which you're not going to have the ball a lot, it's sort of if you want to miss out the midfield, you want to be a bit more direct. Having Beto on Dominic Calvert-Lewin has the front two that you're not going to. And then you've got two wide plays, you can put balls into the box. It'll give you the different option, but it'll be interesting to see whether Evan can get those two on the pitch at times this season. It's something the manager did a bit early at times in a four to four two. Why not? Yeah, big week, obviously. Ville, as well. Coming open and on and waiting to Brentford. So it's a big week for the club, which basically started today off the pitch. So big week, be great to start it with a victory. It takes the pressure off everyone, get us up the table a little bit. It takes the heat off the club as well. Gives people something positive to talk about, which would be nice for a change. So let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one.
