 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is my three things from Everton 1, Manchester City 3 at Goodersham Park tonight, the Blues beating at home and yeah, a tale of two halves really, I think Everton game plan worked really well in the first half, they were winning 1-0, Manchester City couldn't argue they weren't the better team all night because they were but Everton's game plan was very evident in the first half and worked with good effect, we lost the game plan in the second half. And we had no holes and no grip on the game whatsoever and the world class players popped up all about and got them three valuable points, they needed that win, it's been a while since they won a game in the Premier League and Everton have given them that platform to go on now and see whether they can get themselves back fully into that title race. But from our perspective, two defeats on the run now in the league and it means sadly that if looting when they're gaming and we will be back in the bottom three show, got to start picking up our home form and that is where I'm going to start because we play Wolves at the weekend and then that's us halfway through the season and we've only won three times at Goodersham Park and that is an issue. It's something that we've got to correct in the second half of the season and it'll be difficult, we've still got Liverpool, Tottenham to come with Goodersham, Aston Villa of course as well, next one in the Premier League so we've still got teams who are doing really well in that top six, I've got to come to Goodersham and we've got to start in our performance as a home into three points because that is ultimately what will keep us away from any danger. Let's hope we get some points back from the points deduction and I think a lot of people are just ignoring that points deduction now and saying well it is what it is, we've got 16 points and we've got to try to build that up and listen I think looting have had a tremendous week and got back to back victories. I don't think that's going to happen too many times this season, I think Sheffield United and Burnley look like they're gone to me or they're in serious trouble so I'm evident in a group at the moment playing against the likes of Luton Forest Palace, Brentford to see who stays up and it's really frustrating because I've said before on this without that points deduction we would be looking at Europe in places and saying we'd get there but we'd certainly be in that fight. That really is how we should approach every game anyway because ultimately we have won eight games, we are or we should be fighting for the European spot at this moment on a points level and that's what we have to remember but the cold hard facts are we haven't, we've got 16 points so we have to start winning games. This was always going to be two difficult fixes. I guess in the cold like today we should have got something that spares at the weekend and could we have done more tonight in that second half to stop us capitulating really because that's what we did, we were winning 1-0 into six or seven, eight minutes into the second half we're still 1-0 up and we allow Phil Foden to get a free shot in and that cannot be, we cannot be the case. Your manager might say we're happy for people to shift in 25 yards, it's up to the goalkeeper then but let's get out and get blockchain and we didn't and once they got the equaliser the momentum fully shifted to them, we know how good they are. So it is something we have got to correct the gooders and we get, you look back and we can rear games against Wolves and Fulham and Luton, we've all come and won a gooders and shouldn't have done so we have to make sure that when we're playing teams around us and teams at the bottom that we return gooders and into a real difficult placing. I think for us at the moment we've got to just get a couple of big results, we need the atmosphere, the atmosphere was poor tonight, it was great when we scored, dead noisy it was brilliant but it wasn't sustained and we have to somehow find a way to pick that atmosphere up. It's difficult on that Gary, it's difficult, a lot of home team struggle with the atmosphere, you know we've seen the gain from across the park, having a go with them for their atmosphere and you see that other clubs united historically is a silent place city themselves, it's quiet, it's home crowd are just generally quiet but for us we probably need that atmosphere right now so, but our home form has got to improve that's for sure because at the minute three home wins in the first half of the season isn't good enough, it's really really not good enough so something that needs addressing because in contrast that away form is very good so we do have to slight that balance. The second thing I want to talk about is what the manager does in the absence of Abelai D'Coray because it is a gaping hole in our team. We've seen Andre Gomez come on at the weekend and do really well against Spades, he was far far less affected tonight, we needed them tonight, his quality, he's getting on the ball, he worked hard, no problem with him, he worked really hard but he just couldn't get anything in that game, couldn't get any kind of foothold in the game whatsoever. It is a problem, we saw this last season when the manager lost D'Coray for three games through suspension, we just couldn't fill the gap and I don't know what he does now going to Wolves, would love it, love it as Kevin Keegan once said, if D'Coray was back for that but I know that the medical staff are taking it day by day but the first prognosis was a month, around a month for the injury and I know it improved since then so there is still an outside chance for Wolves and they're going to risk it and if not what do you do to play Danjuma day? It's not really pulled up any trees as he should have scored at least once on Saturday and didn't come on tonight and they didn't really affect it at all to try Danjuma wide and play Jack Harrison, we don't know if D'Ris is going to be back at the weekend So I think whenever they've got the full 11 I think they are a match for a lot of teams but we do have a problem off the striker. I thought tonight was a good opportunity for Sean to go with the two strikers, the two one and just go for it a little bit and he didn't so I don't think he would do that away from home He did go to three at the back, that might be a way of combatting certain things at the moment, the way we've got the injury so maybe he'll start with three at Wolves I don't know but it's a problem at the minute because we can't fill that space, we haven't got anybody and that is what's frustrating with that is that should be Danjuma's opportunity and he just doesn't ever seem to grab it So we'll have to wait and see, there is a big problem, there's a problem last year and it's a problem this year and we have to solve it and he's going to have to solve it by getting another decor type into the squad and you know we've seen Kevin Thewell talking today So I'll talk about that in my third point, which is now, which is the squad, Kevin Thewell has addressed Evertonians and said that this window will be a quiet one. I don't think it's what any of us wanted to hear although I think most of us were probably expecting it but Edithon do have to work hard and they do have to try and come up with something this window I don't think we can allow the month to go by without strengthening, I really don't, I know it's difficult but there are players out there and our squad is paying for everything, it was great as he said he was calling me back on a bench tonight but he's a right back You know we need attacking options as well, we're seeing Dwight MacNeill and Jack Harrison running on ffumes at times because they need someone who can replace them at times But in the middle of the park there's no creativity, I've just been talking about that the life of Corey then, without him and his goals are massive, we don't have anyone who can play that role, no one can play it anywhere near what the Corey does because of his goals So therefore you're looking for something else in that position so we should be looking for someone who's creative in that or someone who gets shot away and we don't push you forward and send some of my ffilders in today and say Gomes isn't a split striker, James Garner isn't a split striker, Jack Harrison isn't a split striker, Dwight MacNeill has had a goal and he's not that either Dan Zymer tossively but he played it against Burnley and he was terrible in the cut tie at home in terms of getting on the ball, he just couldn't get himself into the game and I think he's just more used to playing wide so we don't have anybody who can do that Is the people around who we can go and get on loan? Who can do that? I don't know but it's not my job but I don't think we can bat this window off personally by saying finances won't let us, it's difficult because I think there is room Kevin Thalwell did say it, if an opportunity comes up and it's too good to miss, we'll say it will, I think this squad needs a little bit of help, if you can get a player in at least one on loan, two would be ideal but one on loan then you might help this squad to stay well clear of any kind of trouble I'm finished higher up which is more money, more money for meta places and things like that and it gives everybody that freshness on that lift so you will have to work us out, I'm hoping it was Kevin Thalwell trying to just dampen down expectation and I'm hoping that they are looking at Manchester United or clubs like that or clubs in Yora who you might be able to get a player in who could come in and just give us that little lift whether it be off the bench or whether you can alternate with the club or whatever, somebody can maybe play wider times as well just to give it that little bit of freshness so we'll have to wait and see but I'm hoping that they do because I think it is just it's a little bit thin this squad, I don't think the answers are necessarily in the building in terms of just that extra body that could really give us the lift but listen we might end up having to do that because there just isn't any budget or whatever but we'll see, it's going to be an interesting month to take over should be concluded in the next couple of weeks as well, we'll see where that takes us, we should know about the independent commission, the appeal and they should be looking at ways to give us all of our points back if not at least half of them back which would again help us in our position going forward so it's going to be a very very interesting month obviously, here on Toffy TV we will be discussing the ins and outs of everything throughout the month but listen thank you very much for taking the time to watch tonight give the video a thumbs up subscribe if you haven't hope you're all having a very good Christmas take it easy see you later
