 Hello, welcome to the toffee TV Everton podcast Cam is in the studio again. We're gonna talk about Everton Like a therapy session this in it. We've had to to very Everton results. Yeah disappointing game since the last podcast Obviously within a few days of each other But the Aston, we don't want to talk too much about the Aston Villa game But did you feel like we played? Obviously Carlo came out of the Sheffield United game and said we played well against Villa Do you think it was a good performance as in we nailed out, you know, we kept tackling sheet We we you know, we did they came out and they tried hard They executed the plan to stay tight no concede and it's cheap to silly goals But they just couldn't take the chances didn't create many Obviously Gomez had a good chance Cutting on his left. Yeah, and and it's out of the stadium Do you think they played well against Villa? I think it was it was similar to the very typical car and shallotty away performance that we've seen for the majority of the season Really, the only difference was we didn't have that one clear chance that we scored and ended up winning the game We limited Aston Villa to very little. Obviously, they had the tight on wings header in the first half Which was shock and defend them but other than that didn't really have much else But I wouldn't go as far as to say I think we played well But ultimately it was a game that we desperately needed the three points in and we knew, you know Certainly going into Sunday's game against Sheffield United that if we're gonna have any aspiration of finishing in Europe We sat here after the West Ham game and said, you know, realistically We need nine points out of twelve and our last game of the season against Manchester City And I know they've got the Champions League and I know they'll probably play the fourth-gen team But let's be honest Manchester City's fourth-gen team will probably beat them comfortably So the importance of that game although we played well and we kept it tight and we defended well and we limited Aston Villa to very little We still ultimately didn't go out and do what we needed to do Which was get all three points and that was what was the most disappointing thing for me I mean we said before the game It's three most wins. Yeah They said but it was the point if you can't beat Sheffield United and it's so not that way anyway, so yeah We've we've pretty as far as I'm all as far as I'm We're we've balled up European football. Yeah anyway, which is Completely down to ourselves. I play anyone else. No teams aren't as a drop points We had if you look a couple months ago After the West Ham game at least or even earlier or even later It looks hard and miss out on Europe. Yeah, where we were and where we've been all season I think we've been in the top four after we beat West Brom. It just feels like such a low and you know what we could easily Arsenal's got Brighton at home. They've got two. I can't remember the fixtures, but at least and Arsenal got two Decent fixtures each all they have to do is pick up six points and cities are free hitter. I don't think there's any way we're beating city long and We'll be 10th, which is it. I know we've had a good away run all season when you're losing three games We've no we won it. We won the Derby and When it's happening one of the Emirates But we've been so good at London, but it's been such a rubbish seasons watching rubbish football Obviously that's down to the players And you can't argue. It's not because they're rubbish How you can't play attacking nice football when you're not got attacking nice players. Yeah It's just been a really rubbish season and obviously in talking about the Villa game We would I felt a bit hard obviously a few fans felt hard done by in the in the West Ham game with a Kingham ball, which is questionable. I don't know why they didn't look at it. I Didn't say it till after the game and then another Decision which was I felt was worse in the Villa game because they looked at it the red card Yeah, Tyra ming's and they looked at a VH for Well, we've had we've had three haven't we we had the the one against West Ham, which again I am the same with you mate. I didn't really see until after it the Tyra ming's one is disgusting It's absolutely He's he's he's proper done him. They're dangerous. It's stood up. He doesn't get the ball his foot's knee high and He makes contact so it's it's literally ticks every box for the sender off and listen. We didn't play It's not like oh, no, I wouldn't have made it they play well But you say that but Tyra ming's made a goal line clean in the last exactly so Hypothetically because I'm going to win the game. I'm not saying That's the reason we didn't because we would I thought you're crap. Yeah, we were but even so it's just It's just it's pathetic now. There's standard Now you can sit and stop me park and watch that and Make a decision that's not a red card There was one other day wasn't in the chef United game the handball and the commentators are saying his arms in a natural position Well, what's he what's a natural position flagging the bus? That's not a natural position. He stopped the ball from Coleman's took a touch past him and he's put his hand on top as if you're paying like five a sign you're going Whoa, this is a joke, but did you the commentators are that's not a penalty that's in a natural position How is that a natural position? He's got his arm out cross a ball or take a touch pass from one And your arms here It's your hand. It's a penalty. Yeah all day like we've seen it at Crystal Palace away So as part of the season that was a penalty. Yeah It's it's it's honestly baffling. Yeah, I don't If it was a nil nil game and we played really well, I just had a field hard done by but We'll move on to the chef United game. I really don't care that that wasn't a Penalty yeah, even if even if I said it was one nil at that point, wasn't it? Yes, it was yeah, so we get the one go back Chef United they might feel felt felt a bit deflated Yeah point now and then we might have push on got the second but After that performance, I'm really not but I'm too What's the point I gonna buy it when we're that bad? It was honest like watching Michael Silver's football these plays and have a clue and I Carlos made some questionable decisions this season Obviously, I've seen a few people more than that. We played five at the back at home. I I get that I understand why that's a bit You know playing five five at the back against a silence called 18 goals all season obviously 19 now and they've relegated a month ago. Yeah But the reason we play the fire at the back is to allow a wing backs to play higher at the pitch because they are our best Option only only why exactly because if you don't you're playing maybe a four three three Yeah, and Maybe a four foot maybe a four four one one with you will be Bernad or Dean on the left main Yeah, God free left back or something and if you playing a woby then and you're just gonna be more than wise He's tiny will be yeah, but He does make some questionable decisions Carlos a lot of them you come back and what them you can't really understand why But I you can't put the blame on Carlos me because this this God is just so so bad No, I think that they've got quality. They've individually got talent, but you put them together They're not a team. No, there's no legs and the biggest one for all of them for me They've got absolutely zero brains. This is the thickest Like brain dead team I've ever watched in my life. Yeah, they've got like Dom Dom That's got so many good qualities. He's got 21 goals a season. Yeah, he doesn't have the brains Just these a yard out. It's harder to miss He tries to open up his body when he's not got the time and he hits it straight to the keeper. Just use your left Yeah, just use your left It's it's baffling some of the the decisions these these players make mid game in game That the decision making shocking not to play a ball It's the easy ball to play ball backwards when you got 10 minutes and you want nil down you pass around the back Would you put plastic around the back and you're not got the players you can get the ball up the pitch when you've got a big Numb banana you can other ball up, but he wins all of his aerial battles. We can flick it onto it Jarlison or keep making Transfer himself. How many times have you seen this season? We've just played one long ball up to the Dominic's flicked it on for Bernardo for himself Chelsea made the The penalty up for himself. My night had he flicked it onto Bernardo Exactly the West Ham game with Michael Keane in the in the cup. He just play a long ball flicked it Took a touch and finished it West Ham the other day. God free plays one ball One ball outside the back and made too busy faffing around the back and you know what happens things like Holgate playing a dodgy back pass and he always believes it was a goal or doing what he did against a villa at home It's honestly baffling the decision making in this team is shocking And i'm sorry that i've ranted for a while, but i'm just It's honestly put me in an everton shirt I'll get stuck off to five minutes, but at least i'll try and play a ball forward or something for god's sake It's embarrassing the the the other most thickest team. I love that I say i love them. I think they're brilliant players individually, but together. I think they're Really poor and i think they're just making shocking. Yeah, there's no there's another team as you've just said There's no cohesion. There's no togetherness. There's no chemistry. There's no fight for each other There's no battle for each other. It was pathetic It was absolutely pathetic and it was embarrassing and like you've just said we we play about 45 million passes And we don't even get past the halfway line and we're 1-0 down We went 1-0 down the most worrying thing about that game on sunday was It's the seventh minute we can see that the seventh minute not only did we can see the stupid goal defensively It was dreadful defensively godfrey completely leave his man Alan gets done completely But the worst thing about it is as soon as we can see did that goal I sat down Ned sat down we spoke before off-camera and i'm sure a lot of other levitonians sat down and went that's it We're not getting back in this game because these players haven't got the motivation to get back into a game of football We talked about the penalty and it was it was a blatant penalty I don't know how in any world it wasn't and maybe if we'd have got it and scored it then You know the momentum would have switched but these players shouldn't need a VAR decision and a penalty they shouldn't need you know a goal to think actually Do you know what we should be performing a lot better here? These have been relegated for five weeks We should be able to turn up and perform where they're going. We've got a fight field They had nothing to play for chef fields and I did nothing to play for except professional pride That was it and he played that he played the heart out the battle before they were gritty They were they had quality. They were much better than us nothing to play for other than professional pride We had european football to play for and we turned up like that. It's disgraceful It's disgusting and it's pathetic and like I said it two weeks ago We don't deserve european football if we can't be chef fields united at home and we do not deserve You know, we won't get it now. Anyway, it's it's gone. It's done and dusted It's over with and it's no one's fault other than these players and I do slightly feel for carlo But as he made some questionable decisions this season, of course he has as he had some questionable Team selections this season, of course he has but I agree with you I had no issue with the formation on sunday because it's the only formation that provides us any width We have zero wingers not one winger at the football club So playing lucadine and shameless colman as wingback is the only way that we're going to get any width It just so happened that lucadine and shameless colman couldn't cross their arms the other day and the midfield couldn't pass a parcel I had no issue. The only issue I had with the substitutions was that tom davis didn't come on I've seen some people going on about the hammers substitution. No issue with that No issue. He was he was getting sent off. He was going to get himself sends off He made the first half. He was trying You know to play the ball down the lines time to play domin He couldn't do it the second half He spent the majority of his time defending and he made two or three rash challenges in the space of five minutes And he was already booked drum most was waiting for them to make another one and he'd have gone So I have no issue whatsoever with hammers. Rodriguez being taken off Carlos looking at this team and You know, we can talk all we like about the football not being good enough and And it's that and you're there. I completely agree with what you said, mate You can't play great football without great players and with all sorts of satyr and established over the last week or so Is that it's one or two things they don't care or they're not good enough and I really don't subscribe to the don't care I think there's an attitude problem. I think there's a motivation problem But I think for the majority of it. It's just that these players simply aren't good enough. That's where they were We're not blaming the players. It's a collective That's where the recruitment side comes into it. So they need to be doing the recruitment side and the players you've got aren't good enough And that's not down the players that's down to the because I think One tricky winger all that game is today a shuffle what it needed was a Someone with the With the cahoonies to just grab get the grab the ball and just win the game for us Well, let me ask let me ask you this if we If we honestly if we get a pen if we get that penalty and I don't know who's on the pitch of that time Probably hammers stepped up slaughter. Do you think we're gonna win that game? I do I do because I like I'd like to think so I do because I think sheffield united They would they would have a little bit. They would have deflated They deflate themselves the confidence goes the momentum goes and I think everton jump on that now We shouldn't need a situation like that to jump on it You said the before off camera and we come in mate We go one little dance seven minutes in 17 year old on his premier league debut scores Which we all knew was gonna happen. By the way, we knew it. Soon as we see in the lineup We knew that was gonna happen And players are dropping their edge. You don't see anybody go and come on lad. That's not good enough That's we're 10 minutes in everyone's life. Oh, yeah That's the most disheartening thing if you or me or anyone who give an ounce of Kurt again for this club Put a shirt on on that pitch then when a whole gate made the back pass When they pass around the back at every decision you'd be You'd be what are you doing? Yeah, exactly. You're ruining my club. You're an embarrassment Well, you go one nil down in a game 10 minutes in and the first thing your manager says The other you say to each other is nil nil lads. That was a silly goal to concede We shouldn't have conceded it nil nil and more often not if you're better than the opposition team Which I'd like to think we are better than sheffield united you go on and you win the game But we don't do that we go one nil down and that's it There's nothing more deflation. We can't pass a ball five yards. We can't cross a ball Dom all of a sudden can't finish his dinner. It's almost like these players have got this pressure of well We know that if we get one goal, we're probably going to go on and win the game Or we could go on and win the game because they'll be deflated and we'll have the momentum But where's that one goal going to come from and then players that get the chance is fluff them because that pressure Of getting that that goal Um, people players can't pass can't cross. It's just I just honestly I don't think this team's got the backbone or the quality To be any serious challenger for for anything. It's just as if they go out of way with their screws on but then home It's completely. How many silly goals have you considered at home now? I'm not I've seen a few people backing Godfrey He's a first of all We let the ball get out of the corner far too easy Alan doesn't get a goal side of his man and let's just walk past him Get goals out of him get tight and say beat me. Yeah, he just lets them walk past him It's two plays that I fall for it Alan and Godfrey There's no and then no other way and then the ball in thinks McGoldrick on the on the d walking into the box and Godfrey's not It looks to me like he's trying to cut out the pass. He wasn't I think he was trying to step out to McGoldrick and he was he was but You didn't that was a massive gamble You know where the ball was going Because he steps away from that 17 year old lad if he stayed with the lad and the ball did go to McGoldrick as soon as the goal did Text a touch you press him on that touch get out to him Closing down He took a massive gamble on it Well, I watched it again. I watched it again on I watched the replays and I obviously watched in the final word yesterday And I seen this still frames them for as much as it it's Alan's fault for being tamed completely and basically being sent to shop and as much as it's been Godfrey's fault for Running off as man and leaving him You watch you look at the still images or you watch the replay again And I think it's Calvert Lewin Decore Dean Keane all is almost just stop as if to say right? Well that that play has gone past me now So that's not my responsibility. I have no idea what Dean was doing. I'm dreadful He just didn't It's absolutely dreadful if but but if If Decore had gone to a man if Calvert Lewin had gone to a man if Dean had come in Then Ben Godfrey probably doesn't have to think right I've got to get out to him here because somebody's getting out to him and listen Ben's a fault because he's he's Preempted the situation which hasn't happened. He's thought this ball's going to him and he's going to strike it So I'm going to go out so there's no communication as well. He should have said watch the watch me man Yeah, exactly goes to the runner. That's what we say about it being it not being a team They don't there's no talk. There's no communication. Nobody's it You know it in each other on the back on come on. We're better than this wake up. Get out It's like they're all to they're all like mates and they're all too nice. We shout each other You're your work mates. That's it. If you if if you and me we're like work mates And we're like we were good buddies and we worked in a say we worked in Beam cue or something and then you accidentally pushed over a massive rack of Equipment and cost the cost beam cue loads of money. I'd be going. Hey Cameron. That's pathetic Do you know what I mean? I don't know why I use that was a terrible Yeah, but can you know what I mean? Oh, it is the it's work and the cost of the cost and then look at poor Pickford He's having a really good run form a run You like to cost me goals and games. Yeah, I'm I'm embarrassed. I could be at it I could be at a top club here. I could be playing for a european football club everton Oh, but it all boils down european football in all boils down to conversations we've had before and and every evertonian Is that before there's no leaders in this team There's just no leaders in this team your players can lead by example and players can lead by You know coming in and having experience But there's not one player in this team who rags players up and goes That's not good enough. You need to be better. The only player that's seemed like doing that in recent weeks And I've done it is Jordan Pickford in goal. He's the only player that's been screaming players and shouting Coleman's not got the Coleman Pickford's not got the best, you know, he's not like the most talented player in the squad But he does his job. Yeah, he sets an example because he does what he's asked to And remember plays like lee carsley. Yeah in like the 08 or 9 squad or 07 or 06 He was never the most talented. He never had the most quality But he battled he played he played 100 110 percent. He played his art out every week He did his job and he set an example on the pitch and he was allowed It made plays look up to him and listen to him when he said you're having a stinker Yeah, you know what I mean, absolutely. It's like Coleman that Coleman gives it all that to the players Oh, come on, you know Give it all that when like just give it to his own doesn't give it to his own exactly But even if he did he has to set an example of playing his art out And he just makes stupid decisions. I was thinking you're you're just being wasteful I love six yard six yard runs backwards in his and runs at that for a quarter. Yeah falls over It's not it's just it's not good enough. None of the players set an example for me No, I love shameless Coleman. I do but he's not he can't be playing next season He can't play it's all right to bring him in every now and then maybe in the cup games or you know Again, like I said one out of ten squad members in it He can't play shameless Coleman can play one game a week He can't play more than two games a week and that's it. That's that's pure fact I love him and he's great and he's he's being loyal to the club But it's time to move on now It is and that's the harsh truth of it and it's up to everything to move on now in the summer take away You know your um Niceness your niceness and your sentimentalness and all of that sort of stuff Carl I'll come out two weeks ago and say though shameless Coleman's got a contact with the club for life. That's fine That's absolutely fine as long as he's not starting week in week out He can have a contact the club for life if it's sitting on the bench or if it's coaching in a few years or if it's a You know an assistant manager or whatever But if as long as he's not playing week in week out, I don't mind he can't play week in week out next season He's not he's not good enough. He's just not good enough. He's not quick enough He hasn't got the stamina. He hasn't got the legs to do it Um, like you said the other night he run the ball out of play from pretty much the halfway line On sunday. He slipped over after you know running the ball backwards. It's just these little things that You know again, I don't want to be picky because it's not just him but We all know right back to a position that we need to improve on drastically centre midfield wingers for me I mean, we've got no goals in this team Maybe take don't people can slate Dom all he wants. He's not good enough He's dirty needs to improve this all of that new there Dominic carpet learn wasn't in the 17 this season ever the fighting relegation and that's not even hyper dramatic That's fact is highest goalscorer. He's got six scored 21 goals exactly whole season and then Look at look at the midfield. How many goals are coming from midfield this season? My hammers is our joint second top goalscorer and we've all moaned all season about him being injured too much And he's got more goals other than Dom than anybody in that team. He's joint with Richardlison for Seconds has got a few Few penalties He always got one Dick always got three whole season. I think an odd one Alan non Davis non D none Coleman none even you should be just one about 10 from your from your defense. Yeah Michael Keane's got three as a you want you want between seven and 12 from both your wingers and exactly We get one from each of them We're recording this on a shooting morning We'll never listen to this. We've got a game tomorrow Wolves. I'm not You know fans are back on this day, do you? We'll we'll touch on that later. Well, let's just have a break from Everton Um finale because I feel like I'm about to punch the table and hurt myself Um, there's been a lot of talk in the Well a lot of social media about the team off the season. Yeah We'll not name a team but What players have and you can be you can be Everton players No, if you like but what players has stood out for you this season made a real impact Um, there's a few there's a few I think I got going from goalkeeper I think I mean Matthew and this has had a really solid season I think he's been um, you know brilliant for last and villa coming obviously from Arsenal And to be fairly coming, you know on the back of some really really good form He was brilliant towards the back end of last season for Arsenal and he's trying to let him go Yeah I saw to see in it both ways. I think they got a quite a significant bit. They needed to pay 20 25 20 million Yeah, something like that. Yeah, and of his age and he wasn't the number one So I understood where Arsenal were coming from but then He also you're sort of looking at and go well, he's a very very good goalkeeper And he's been great for villa for me player of the season is without question Ruben Diaz from Manchester City I mean something that we've always talked about with Manchester City Certainly over the last recent few you know four or five years or so as they've always had great attacks They've always had brilliant players in midfield brilliant creators But it's always been that back line that you sort of looked at and thought we can exploit them here And Ruben Diaz has just come in and just basically gone. No, you can't and just solidified that defence He's been absolutely fantastic all season he has and you know, then you look at some outstanding performance The su-check from Westam. I think it's been brilliant to consider. You know where they are in the table um, I actually think In terms of teams of the season if you've stayed fit I think to be a shelf for somebody like a Harvey Barnes in there because I think he was really impressive for Leicester Obviously got that injury which is which um, same with Jackie Eilish really I think Jackie Eilish if he wouldn't have had such a big injury he'd be well in the hapo Is is his numbers are still fine. He's still a phenomenal player So so great. I don't know how people I've seen a lot of people put in the the Euro 2020 2021 Like um, like oh, this would be my start 11. You cannot leave Grealish out. He's so good I understand now people a lot of people obviously don't want to sit and watch a villa game Unless they're playing their own their own club play but Villa Villa Grealish is is is such a talent. He's so underrated. Maybe it's because he needs that move to a big club I massive respect to him if he sticks out at his boy or club I don't think he will and I think with ffp the money that they want to spend I think I think he'll get his motor a united or a city maybe but I think he's he's he's so good Hopefully never to maybe because yeah If he moves forever and then I think he does that test on a bit. I wouldn't see the point But yeah, he's he's such a talent. So but for me Obviously mentioned martin as martin is I think we're thinking of villa. They had you know, the elites had quite a few goals last season Um, tom eaton and they had peppy rain as well. They got them in january Made a couple mistakes, but he was all okay improve them slightly And then martyrs just come in and you look at the back for us playing in front of him. It's not a Great back for and he's It's a joint clean sheets or one more clean sheet or one less clean sheet But they're just they're on the same three sheets before the everton games. So I think They're still in the same clean sheets now But he's just he's just such a good keeper. Yeah, he's just makes so many world Worldies. Yeah, he's he has he's been absolutely excellent and Again, he made a couple Um do the week when we played them. It's some great saves. Yeah He's just a solid tall goal. He said the other day when we played them away We spent the majority of the game trying to Lift the ball in and cross the ball in and I said, why you're doing that when you've got a six foot eight goki But it's something who's had a fantastic season He's going to come and collect them all day long and he did he did that I think another name who has to be in there is philphoden from Manchester City He is definitely a leaf young player of the season. Oh 100 percent each. He's he's a generational talent He mirrors so many different Um quality play. I'm not saying he's as good, but he mirrors like the style of play of any ester And then when he's playing on the wing, he So like the goal against uh Liverpool think was the fourth goal at anfield or third or fourth. We just smashed it Um, it's a good couple players on it's like messy. Yes, wasn't it and then he'll have a game where he's like Little chubby. Yeah, he's just so he's so versatile. He's just so unbelievable. I think he's brilliant. I think he's brilliant and another player city Um who's sort of come on length the season is is Gundogan obviously had that long spell Yeah scored like yeah 12 goals and uh, he just couldn't stop scoring. He was just so good. He was playing like Almost like the highest man in there. Yeah, um in the squad. I was they didn't have a strike on me He was the one making up all the goals And obviously if you look in his previous seasons, you know, he was in and out the squad He played quite a lot of games at hole in midfield for for andinho when he was out So I had to go into And defensive midfield or Rodney was out for some reason or in the champions league games He played a lot of games holding holding midfield and he's just come on lengths this season He's absolutely smashed it obviously Um, he had quite a long spell. He's not been the Same all season, but he's still I mean, it's been really old-class player isn't he? It's just so there's so many shouts for Um players of the season, but I suppose yeah, Ruben Diaz If not that best signing off the best summer signing. Yeah, at least um player of the season because we said before Obviously city had a lot of defensive problems last season Maybe the reason why they didn't go on win the league Obviously the other team were Better anyway Um, but if you just went out and said we always we all said, oh, we're not gonna sign Kula Barley All the fans I've got a few mates were fans who wanted Kula Barley and this and it's another obscure and obscured because Obviously he was a A good player at a good club in Portugal And he's just a player that none of us can say, oh, yeah, you'll be a great signing for them. He was young Just come through it Ben Fika was it and he's just uh, it's another it's another sign like Edison Diaz Farron Torres, Bodgery Gabriel Azuz that he plays like I haven't I've never really not know much about and they just come in and there's Um, the majority of them are just in world class. Lovely Torres. Go on the a hat trick on the weekend They just sign all these brilliant plays and it's like it's like they stay away from these like plays with the quote Like with the status like a Kula Barley or and it makes me question whether they'll whether they'll sign up I like Harland because of his status exactly. They just sign all these like these these class players just come out and over and that's it working Pep Guardiola's doing such a good job with them when they get the recruitment right, don't they and you know, we sat here and I Certainly sat in ours on Saturday night and watched the FA Cup final between Lester and Manchester City and pretty much had me Me adding me on for the entire game in fact I nearly based out into tears watching Lester because I thought that's what everything should be everything should be that and Lester had a team who we now for me best recruitment in in the league Sell on FC. Oh, yeah selling club selling club. It's who's not a selling club apart from barcelon and midway to bayon There's three three teams one three teams one Well, two teams won trophies this weekend and one team is going to go win the league Don't want to trophy this weekend selling club Lester won a trophy this weekend selling club and Lail are going to go and win league one selling leagoon selling club I'd take being a selling club all day long if you were guaranteeing me a league and a FA Cup in five years all day long It's it's perfect recruitment It is but city have done the same city of like you've just said Whereas everyone's sort of thinks oh, they'll go after messy in the summer They'll go after haland in the summer. They might still go after haland because he's very very young And I'll be still he's still that a big future emerging talent isn't it? So it's like whether they see him as a big status big money signing Or an emerging talent that's it and his dad played for city. So I could I could see it more than like a like You know the gold sign like a dibarler or someone who's looking at messy stuff last summer last summer It was he's going to city message going to city and all the fans rightly so I'd probably be the same We're we're very excited about it. And then somebody at Manchester City He's obviously gone look as big as this would be financially for shared sales And as good of a player as Lionel messy is look at his age look at his wage look at You know, maybe his attitude at Barcelona at times why sign him when for a lot cheaper We can go and sign fernan fernan Torres who's come in and like you said had to do the days I think it was first goal. It was the second goal of flick over the keeper. It was absolutely unbelievable mate Plus Barcelona were like we messed it like Yeah, well, yeah, but again Maybe that's a blessing in the skies for Manchester City. Yeah, maybe Guardiola was just like Yeah, that's what he'd have been that perfect false nine this year. You know, he obviously He favors playing a he favors playing like a winger or a no more But that age old question is me could be doing in the Premier League. Yeah, I know it's such it. I know Obviously you can but it's not obvious. It's not obvious. Um, because it's it's never obvious until he's here doing it That's why I respect is the Arminaldo so much because he's gone and done it in three different leagues at the highest level It's so easy to say what message the best player in the world The best player in the world is the best player ever. Of course, you could do in the league technically Yeah, he'd do it. He'd be better than anybody in the league ability wise. Yeah, but Physicality, would he be able to do it in the league? Would he be able to take put up with? Um, you know a game against Sheffield United or some of the yeah or a Ben Godfrey where in the first 10 minutes He's been tackled four times with the have the attitude with the have the mentality to do it It's all of these things. It's not just technical ability I'm not saying it lineal mess. He wouldn't have the technical ability to play in the Premier League He would but would he have the attitude with the have the mentality with the have the physicality You never know until he's here. Do you? You know for a few minutes that I almost forgot Everton. I just lost at home to Sheffield United Nice nice chat about them in the league. But yeah, unfortunately, we've got to get back to that Yeah, we'll get back to Everton now If you're here for Everton chat, then we've got a game whether whenever you listen to this we've got a game against Wolves tomorrow night for us. Yeah Um, obviously the first one in this season with the last home game of the season It's the first one since December the 20th arsenal. Yeah with with fans six and a half thousand is it? Yeah If you go in then um unlucky If you go in then then um, just Yeah, I've seen a lot of people who've already got um tickets saying I'm just gonna I said just just I said he's not that bothered. Yeah, just try and enjoy it Yeah, we haven't been for 18 months Don't worry about what's happening on the pitch or the players because they'll let you down again As they've let you down all season just take a laptop and watch hours way or something. Yeah, just enjoy being back and go There's some the walk out but there'll be like a couple blokes tonight the other one. She's going. Yeah York This just hope you just hope hammers is playing don't you? I mean hammers hammers just experience the No, just a small bit and then he's just like oh, this is the toffees. That's it. Well, that's it and ultimately These players have got to put a reaction in and this is this is this is where if they play like they did against sheffield They'll get they will get That's where the worry comes in for me is Either way this well either way It's not going to be perfect if we go out and win then yeah, it's great But we're all in sitting there saying well, why couldn't you have done that last week? Why couldn't you've done that again? Sheffield united if we go out and lose then it pretty much answers that question of Do these players just don't care or are they just not good enough? It's just not good enough If they go if they can't go out and motivate themselves with six and a half That's never tony and screaming which they did in december to be fair We got two big results in december and in both of those games we played like we do away from home We sat back we defended and we hit them on the counter attack even though they were a good son But if this team can't go out and Put in a performance they won't get away with putting in the performance He did against sheffield united which makes me believe that if if we do see a similar game It's not because they don't care. It's because they're not good enough Um, which I already think anyway, but come wait and see They could be playing in a black hole for ike against sheff united if you can't beat them That's it. No, I agree. I agree. It's simply not good. Yeah, I agree. I agree. They are a collective Collective bunch of players who are good quite good individual players. They cannot They're not they just don't work. There's no chemistry. There's no pace Like a national team army like a national team where you're looking at and you got fancy them for the The way a couple of fancy them for the euros because they've got this playing and that playing and this player But they just don't play together because they're not a team. We don't they don't No one seems to talk to each other on the pitch. No one seems to communicate. No one seems to like each other It's like it's like watching a it's like watching a b-tech england in 2010 or 2006 which is bad Yeah, that's that's bad if we're getting to that stage then good good players, but This is dross. Yeah, but are you are you feeling confident anyway for the walls game? No, and yeah, to be honest, I could see it going I could see us turning up putting in a really good performance battling fighting working on and beating them Because there's fans in the stadium and I can see the players turning up and I can also I said it before We sunday was rock bottom for them doesn't get much worse than losing to a team that have already been relegated for five weeks And getting outplayed sunday was rock bottom. So I expect fully have expected Some strong words to have been exchanged in that dressing room and throughout the last couple of days of training by carlo and charlotte Um, David Duncan, whoever it needs to be so hopefully Duncan hopefully Duncan. Yeah, definitely. So I could see a reaction but I could also see Like Bournemouth at the end of last season Maybe just tear up and we're still awful and we lose and it's like well just just get next season. We've thrown Europe away our our own we we this second half of season has been absolute shambles Absolutely So I've gone past the points of care in that because the players don't yeah clearly so Why should we but I was going to ask you for your score prediction, but Oh, two one two one Three nil walls Nil nil One nil. I don't know. I don't care. Yeah, but we're rubbish. We're not getting Europe. Yeah, we've blown it. Yeah We'll all get hyped up in the summer when we make some good signings and hopefully we'll be class. Yeah I just hope you hope to god. You just made the right signings. Please don't go out and sign Anyone over 29 caring trip here. Oh We'll end up in two years with this with the same situation. Everyone's 30 We can't shift in there's no selling value And then when the and then we need to replace the whole squad We're not got the money to do so I don't want to I don't want to I don't want to go in on Marcel Brands with the tip of your room It's because it might be Marcel might just be completing us an audience I'd suspect it's his age and turn it turn again a move But if ever in a seriously looking at replacing a 33 year old right back with a 30 year old right back then There's there's nothing going for us. There's absolutely nothing. This is the summer He needs to go out make a statement need to change the strategy is what we need to do It's not this isn't going to be the summer where we won't be in the Champions League next season We might finish in Europe, but we won't be in the Champions League next season We won't win the league next season It's not all going to change this summer But this summer could see a change of strategy Which makes us all sit here in September October and go Ah, that's where the club's going now That's the direction they want to go in these are the types of players they're bringing in That's the you know the um the level of player that we're bringing in that's the the sort of You know the trademark of that type of player So in the next three or four seasons, we might be where we want to be We won't be there next season But this summer it's about changing that recruitment strategy to Um to shoot and we'll we'll find we'll know that make we'll know in September if we've signed the right players or not If we're sitting here in September, Michelle from maths and we've signed Bale, Catini, Owen And Caden Sippy, which then we'll know it won't work. But if you wanted one season Off um Top six top four then you can go and sign you continue and you and you bail on your gula barley and everyone would be like Ah, so you were told you would be better But then you what happened to removing to the stadium That's what a full of 33 year olds and we can't shift him That's it. Well, so someone asked me today someone asked me today earlier on my theme What about Alan can't want to see Alan for the future and his his future team is a number six and I said well for alan in the future I see in two with three maybe three four years alan will be an ever player He'll probably be aiming towards retiring How long has he got letters of contract this this summer sign the sign of three year contract two years So I'd be looking at getting the next Alan after after a year And this is don't do it. Don't do a good bombing where you let garner go bringing a bombing They should have gone and got a good bombing before because we knew he was leaving should have gone and got boobakite Samari before garner left exactly and add them as a as a fine replacement and that's that's what I look at lester's 30 million euros They've signed before they'll sell him for 50 60 They're bringing samari and before indeed he leaves before feelings leaves to get him sorted and then when they go you can just replace but then eventually Like a lot of the plays we've got now they will keep selling on Like they were selling club across the park and then eventually they'll say right. We've got a brilliant squad here All you lot we're gonna Or like a lot of months a league on or just you want to stay because we're going to win the league this season Do you know why because we've got the money now We've got 100 million here from selling on players and making profit to go sign our Our cooler barley or like our allison or van dyke Which is going to be the signer which will win us the league On is one more world-class player and they'll all stay and then they'll win trophies and then that's how you get your Your championship winning score. Well, the club has been riddled with short termism for far too long. Yeah, we don't need short term short term You know options We don't need short term solutions because they don't work They don't work like like you've just said you spot on mate. If everything were one creative midfielder away from winning the league Go out and buy coutinho of everton would have sent it off away from winning the league go out and buy cooler barley But we're not before we get to that stage where we One player away from winning the league cooler barley's 36 coutinho's probably retired Alan's probably retired. So stop and we have to start again Exactly So stop going out and buying these players for short term solutions when it's not working We've had six years of buying players for short term solutions and it hasn't worked start buying for long term If if if Marcel Brands comes out in the summer, let's say Marcel Brands come out in the summer and sat down as in an interview signed You know, I don't let's just say let's just name plays for example signed anguisa signed Leon Bailey, which I think will be difficult because I think Leon Bailey's may be Already passed that I think you'd see evidence to step down but let's say anguisa Leon Bailey Baku or max addons and then you know someone had sent her off and then brands goes right this team These these players are very good. They might take us to the champions league next season But this is the strategy that we're going for for the future. I'd go sound I'd be made up with that. I'd say brilliant that the type of level of player we need That's the type of profile of player we need happy days If we go out and we sign the wrong players And we say these players are going to take us in the champions league next season They won't they'll be injured for two thirds of the season Like hammers has been and we'll all be sitting in the same seat next year saying another disappointing season Thanks, Camarfield. The press now That's the truth. It's the truth. It's how it is And like I said, no, we're not none of us are going to know that until September when the transfer window closed slam shut and we see you with signed footies footies just That's awful mate. I'm doing golf or something honestly Let's start as saying saying telling the rugby league Yeah, there you go. I don't know anything about rugby either. We'll be sucks backing out of the walls or yeah beat city Yeah, you know, we'll be sucked. We'll be sucked backing after a good summer. Hopefully I think we'll go in the right direction We signed We signed plays like Godfrey. Yeah, so we bought a three and to improve the squad now And then we signed plays like Godfrey and Konkuk and Brant three last season. So it were positive signing. So yeah Hopefully we continue that sort of The way of going still needs a big change, but absolutely Let's let's feel positive about the summer and hopefully we can come back next season And I finished seventh or something Which would be against Europe I'll be happy. So it's an improvement. Yeah, there you go. Thank you for listening if you stayed with us the whole way Then you're a brave warrior because everton is a is a touchy topic at the moment.
