 Welcome to toffee TV. It is the match preview Crystal Palace versus Everton cell case park on Saturday and once again, it feels like it feels like a mush win, but at the same time It's an away game. So those two words don't really go together because Other than Southampton away. Yeah They bought me the league Usually beat them. Yeah, we did beat them. I mean we can you know, they didn't do that at all. Obviously Cheers for me. And the main boss on my beat them as well Um Crystal Palace away. Yeah, I mean listen, we're not in the bottom three so well, so Let's keep that positivity going Let's stay on the bottom three Yeah, it's it How how are we continuing to be this bad away from home though? How I mean, why is this a why is this a why can a football club change players? Change managers frequently. Mm-hmm. And apart from one season Obviously when there was no fans in the ground How can we continue to be this bad at playing a games just away from our grant? Players It's got a it's all a mentality. It's got to be we've we've changed. It's not like we've had the same team for Three or four years and they're just all bottle jobs away from home. Yeah, is it we've we've tried different managers different players The one constant in all of that well With regards part of the COVID season the one constant has been the fans who traveled everywhere and back them Ironically the one season There was no fans in the ground we won 12 away games Which was a which was obviously an anomaly because we are quite we have been rubbish away from home for a number of years by that one But to be so poor away from home What was it two away wins last season? Brighton and Leicester. I think it was that was the only two way games in one last season. I think this season we've had one Which was again on the South Coast, so, you know, maybe there's a little bit of an omen and we've still got to go to Leicester as well But it can only be a mentality thing. Can I because what else is there? with your players The easy answers the players are good. You know, they get that I get that But even when we've had better plays we still haven't won away games. So it can only be mentality I think and But there's nowhere to go for these players now Simply there is the seven games to go. They've been terrible at the weekend a lot of them It's questionable whether they're good enough to play for Everton football club Whatever football club is not necessarily what the team is right now Because again, I said to you we've had 31 games this season and we've won six of them Absolutely pathetic and one of them's away from home one all the way games and one win away from home It's outrageous. It's terrible. But I must have come up Haven't spent any money and show the heart and desire to like go to space and less than a win But one last two way games, you know and everything who's supposedly have got better players and certainly got a much better wage But for those players can only win one away game. So it can only really be a mentality thing Yeah, it is. I mean it is it You see it here every week It's just absolute. It is pathetic. Isn't it? It's pathetic. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It's in a way game It's a game of football on a on a on a on a different pitch You don't have the back of the fans. So what boo-hoo you have you have to deal with what what's in front here on the pitch And ever listen, you know, listen recently, of course went to Chelsea and we got a good draw there We should have beaten Forrester still still maintain that was the that was the game We had to win Forrester way and got it in our hands exactly, but it's it's the it's the mentality that runs through clearly runs through the football club and A lot almost a lot of times that I think of like what we're playing away It's like well because yet we used to rely on our home record so much, you know, there's no be no way At this stage of the year that you know having five home games would be would be accepted And it obviously isn't it's not acceptable and that's why you know we sacked Frank Lampard But the idea of being in April and only winning five games at Gulleson Park just is just okay. And it's just it's it's incredible how how How bad it's got in the last couple of years and it's to me what I really what disappoints me is and how how almost accepted it is how bad it is like It's not like it's okay, but I will still put play Satan players on pedestals and things like that I don't get it. I don't get it and this this game again again. I've seen it this week. I've seen players coming out saying We'll give everything we you know, we know how big this game is and know how big the next couple of games are We'll give everything we'll go and give everything then go go You know don't walk off that walk off the pitch unless you you have You're crawling off it. Oh much. You know what I mean? It's like don't want to see empty promises. We want to see hard work Absolutely leaving everything on the pitch because what you know, you go back to that and to be fair on the dice I think there's been a lot of that until the last two games and the last two games have been Unacceptable the game in Manchester United was it got waved away. It's one of those days playing in the ice or blah blah blah But to me that was you drop the standards got dropped and by allowing by by forgiving that United away it always happens. But for me That was almost for giving that. Oh, yeah, doesn't matter blah blah something united away We haven't got this the gore and this play in that play. But the problem is because we haven't got Good footballers Talented footballs and we haven't got goals. Well, what have we got what what a shown by giving us that what we know that either organization and Hard work and almost hard work in the right places as well doing the work in the right places three in midfield Which some reason he's thrown away in the last two weeks and Then that carried on then into Saturday where again it was it was just like One of those days of fun. I've got a lot of the ball Oh, I have to run after them a bit and it followed on from the United game And that has to that has to be put to bed right now because it's not put to bed in this game These are destroyers. They're on a great little run three wins. They're confident Little bit of cockiness about them. They you know There has to be that basic hard work and a basic organization That gives us a foothold in this game. Otherwise you could get away from us very quickly because these have been scoring goals Something we don't do They'll be relaxed. They'll know the only way the safety only you know, they can put the action on it now But we are every that's happened in the last two weeks has got to be sorted out Gotta be everyone's gotta be on it and People saying you know people writing things on Twitter. There's more to life and all this Well, you know what for a lot of these evertonians there isn't that absolutely isn't and all of them now I don't want to see stats on You know all the nice stats that you can pull out for these players I want to see hard work. I want to see running stats. I'm gonna see players Putting leaving everything on the pitch because that's what it's gonna take to keep everything in the Premier League now Because we've already proved we're not a very good team and we can't score goals The only thing that's gonna keep us in this division is all of those players pulling everything out and Stop looking for excuses and make sure that at the end of the game we go Well, you know what you give everything we forgive you all those other things because it's not your fault You're not good enough to play for Everton football club. We forgive you all those things You didn't buy yourself. You're not playing yourself But when you do play you've got to give absolutely everything for us because that's the only metric that matters in my eyes Yeah, well, I think that was the most disappointing thing about Saturday was I don't feel like he did The last half an hour was it so she was bad as anything on the lamp and so then players doing it again That he done all season again. I guess it just explains why we have only one six games of football all season I'm one away from home. It was young. It was totally and utterly pathetic on Saturday against the team that didn't really want to be there full on the church like Game of footy. Let's get to see we can't we're not going down. We can't really go any higher We haven't got our most effective player the manager can't even stand on the line Yeah, just beat us please and we didn't have the capability to do it We didn't have the desire in the heart to do it and it is all about hard work You know crystal palace We're on a dreadful. I don't think they'd won a game since New Year's Eve and silly sack the air and go to the women They go no hotel in since options come in. He won three out of three the code nine goals, so that's in three goals again and Editing will be comfortably beaten if they don't match them straight away and make it difficult for them crystal palace Okay, defensively not great midfield is a little bit hit miss at times the better when the core is in Like we are better when the core is in there, but they've got loads of attack and talent Yeah Loads of it, and it was a case for them when they were struggling it was just about getting Daft from players aligned once the goals come back You knew they had enough to get themselves out of trouble and Hodgson's been able to do it Okay, the first win he got was a little bit full cheer at us and it was 94th minute winner But since then he kicked on he went to lead when I go down and batted leads and I've got a good gone I've got a good win at Southampton comfortable win at Southampton. So they're in good form like you said the safe You know one more win Guarantees you absolutely, but the safe now the they're not going anywhere And that should be an opportunity for everything to go on To show who needs the points more other teams have gone there and nicked wins Our record isn't that bad at sellers back and all we had a we had a bit of a chasing twice last season in the year In the but the league game at 2-1 we missed Anthony Gordon's miss the sitter at 2-1 last season in the league before Conagala made the three we got bounced in the FA Cup But we'd already missed two sitters in that before they scored once they scored they destroyed us So, you know, but we won there the year before and things like that. So we are recording that bad at sellers back but You know, we have got to go and we've got a battle and scrapped for every single thing that we get That is on offer. We've got our three men in midfield for me. We've got it make the most of set pieces Defend properly and like you said leave everything out on the pitch and if they do that I was just looking at it Crystal Palace have scored seven goals away from home in their last two games. We've scored ten all season Hmm, you know that I mean they get five in one game It's got we've got ten all season it you know in these are like These these all these numbers are Dammit really really dammit as he got two bits of Alpanton at the weekend that's off score It's got fun. You got 50% of our top score as goals with the weekend On Saturday, I think what's really important about Saturday is You're going into a game Wait, you look at it, right we can find any kind of performance here you know Then we play Thursday at home night game Gulisham Park Against Newcastle could be a huge, you know with obviously with the man sitting in coming up and obviously then boom I've been the last game this season You know this could be a huge that that could be a huge huge night forever now if that's If you're going into that game and you've somehow managed to get three points away from home Which we're going to Crystal Palace by the way, we're not you know, we're not going to we're not going to man city Check That that could be you know because back-to-back if you get back-to-back victories But at this stage of the year if you could do that's what pulled us out last year the Chelsea and the Leicester game If we could do that, we can go into the Newcastle game off the back of the result The fan it would give everybody the fans a massive boost It would make that game in an occasion where it's you know, I don't think shown by particularly like likes that sort of thing But you know whether there's a bus welcome or not, but it could give that night a huge huge Lift everyone could be I could just get just put everyone on that little bit of give everyone that little bit extra and That has to be sati and if you think about it we're going to if we've got this game sati and You know, we are in any way like luster or we don't show hearts or we give anything with the fans can go What are you doing? Well, how do you not know important this game is? You know this I know every game is a big game But I genuinely feel like this one when you look at the fixtures coming up I know it should have started with the following game But I just look at this one and think if you could get we somehow could get three points in this game Then then it makes Newcastle absolutely huge huge game. So Saturday was the perfect opportunity we'd have be full on Saturday We could have been going to a palace and a point would have been a good result I'm coming out of that. You know, we just want the three of course Yeah, we would have been going, you know, we got a draw and we took four we'd be on 31 points Then going into the Newcastle game almost thinking if we beat Newcastle So you know, we've got you know, we've got one foot staying in the Premier League Now we're relying on all the teams and the whole thing is and to be fair being relying on other teams for a while Yeah, it's it's come down quite simply now to It won't be That evidently good if they stay up. It'll be that there's three teams waste and that's exactly what it will be We're already we're in that stage. We've played the whole season. Really. We're out of strike. I'm out. I've been there Just in name only as a striker. It's not really done anything Ella Sims is a young youngest in terms of learning the game Dom's not been there. I've never so ever and it's amazing really that evidence still out at the bottom three The only team without the striker in the Premier League. It's crazy And yeah, we are so we have got a you know on Saturday I was convinced with half an hour. I thought we're down with half an hour. I was just watching them There was nothing there was no no running no response There was a bit of that again with this year's when they made a three one and I just looked and thought these are gone They're absolutely gone, but obviously the days the days go by don't mean you You look at and they see the two teams around you getting them for us got them united their own Toothless leads are terrible like genuinely terrible at the moment six one around You know I'm adding that us sati illusion five one and six one last two home games. You just be gone There's no the doubt. There's not a chance. So somehow everything find themselves still in such and distance to lead and still above the relegations Oh, I Don't know how many more Little chances they're gonna get you know we added in a forest away You said that before we will chew on over 15 minutes left against a rival that should have been sheen out That should have been the away win and then you build on it And it wasn't top number own spares were so poor and yet we we alright We've done well to get a bunch in the end afflicted, but we've self-inflicted that we didn't win that one United don't know what the manager did, but United away and all that whatever But follow him at the weekend this tactics were terrible He you know almost put us one down with his team selection at the weekend because the players we know Seeing a team sheet that those players weren't gonna respond. We know that So we've wasted that chance. So this is and this and we're going in to it would have been great playing Palace a month ago at their place because they were feeling down in the dumps of it, but We've got to go there dig in keep it tight not give them anything cheap and make use of make use of the Opportunities when they come our way because the one thing I will say to finish we aren't scoring goals But we get we're creating a hell of a lot more than we have done So it's whether you've got anyone you can take the time. Well, we may maybe we will let's just have a good team I played against fuller so You know for me, we know Dominic Avalon has played this week Hopefully bad any kind of reaction. He'd be you know, he'd be available. Yeah And like I said last week for me He has to go straight into the team because there's just no opportunities now. We've run out of games We asked to be available. He has to play The other one I'd take out of that team is Michael Keane and I'd have yet. I mean a back in it I think I think a lot of people feel this way now again. So I think of like Michael Keane's had this chance. He's not a good defender Conoco, he's had this chance. Yeah, he made a sitting age fit With the game left get him in the team Get him in the team. Yeah, because he's a threat You know offensively. He's a good defender. I still think he's our best defender He's a blind-up mate and she's niggly exactly what you need for the fight Yeah, he's exactly what you need for the fight and listen if he doesn't last you've got those other players 35 defenders on the bench. Yeah Just loads. He doesn't make five subs anyway, so it's not like you're on where we'll lose a sub You just put them some in. I think you've got to start making decisions now Be on desperate times. Hmm. You can't keep that defensive partner. So you can't keep Michael Keane in there at the moment You just can't whether Dykes likes him or not Conoco, he made subversions out of team Well, Michael Keane's made it off ball since he come back in Bad a great goal against Bayes and he was a great goal. What has he really done? So I don't understand the dynamics of the partnership But you're looking for you got a look at the defense and the editor in the bottom two in the Premier League under Dykes Defensively, which is crazy because we all thought that'd be an area he solved and he hasn't So he's made it worse actually, which is crazy improved the attacking again, which is almost seems backwards So like what you expected But they've had a go now. So it's not work someone's shattered. They get meaner in there alongside Tarkovsky Like you said if there's any issue, you know people will go means never fit. Well, he's been fit for weeks And if he goes off injured, we've got all the defenders there It's not like we can only have three subs and one's to one's got to be a centre back Mason Holgate there, Conoco these day if Michael Keane comes out Michael Keane will be there The crazy thing about it is it's like we're all begging For Dominic Harvan who's to come back because we know he's our best centre back They sent a photo sorry, and yet our best centre back is basically got sort of the same injury record as them And no one's really no one really says anything about it because we've got other centre backs But my hope you're a mirror is still hasn't best centre back still our best defender, you know And he's injured I just think I think when you can if ever we're keeping it tight And we're nearly conceiving goals then there wouldn't be a conversation about the defenders whether it's Michael Keane or it's Mason Holgate, Conoco, whoever whoever whoever My point is he changed Kody and Tarkovsky because he felt like we were giving things up Well, we're still giving things up so you have to make another change What about some of the other positions obviously? Paterson had been at right back, Gottfried obviously went off with concussion We won't know, you know probably until late with Ben But I would have Paterson in anyway right back if Gottfried's fit then I put him at left back What about the midfield situation? A midfield for me it's a flip of who comes out of Wobby or De Marie Gray For me if I'm not as fit, if I'm not as fit he's back in the midfield with Garnett and James Garnett Leave them three in, it's whoever plays on the right McNeill stays in on the left he's been playing well lately Dot on my front like you said and it'd be a toss up between a Wobby and De Marie Gray Probably go with a Wobby on the right because of the insurance You're a little bit more in front of Paterson I don't think Seamus will be quite ready for this one No, so that's what I would do because listen I think I never want for making like four or five changes But that performance at the weekend, people deserve to be left out You've got to get people right It's great giving an interview for Edmonton TV going we know what it means You didn't know what it meant after friggin 55 minutes on Satie and Harry Wilson's score So why do you now? And that was at home and if you just stepped off five percent you'd have won the game So what's the difference? I would make changes and just go these lads these years ago now you've blew it And then it's up to you to force your way back in Let's have a little look at Palace's team from the win against Southampton Eze obviously has been in great form The core A obviously you've missed the game against us Good as someone obviously our best winner this season And that's basically had no midfield that day It's still light It is but I mean what I think what he's done is he's organised a back line like he does And he's getting the best out of people like Eze We've obviously technically great great football and I've got pace And the confidence and he's just done the basics to them as they just got them all confident They're almost like a it's almost like 5v5 You know with the fence But they've got the energy and they've got the energy and they've been taking the chances Let's have a little look at Eze's numbers Games 31, goals 7, assists 3 Key passes by game 1.4 And he's come on loads in the last few weeks And obviously talent of football Chris the Palace I think this is what Palace fans were saying Well you know I think when Royals are left and you know they were like You know there's talent in there but it's not allowed to do what it wants And then I think as the VA era went on The talent of players were doing what they've been What they should be doing And then but there was no defence of structure Confidence because you can't quite find that You know maybe there's a lot of similarities with sort of the VA the Lampard Sort of way of looking at things But Hodgson's come in and he's sort of the back line And you know that's allowing players in the forward positions to do what they want to do And they're all working hard That's ultimately the end of the day That's what you mentioned in there like the full game It's like for us if everyone's working hard And got forwards and backwards It gives you a great platform to play off And you just need people to put the ball in the back of the net And they've been staying patient And you know last weekend's Southampton it wasn't until the second half They got a little bit of luck But sometimes that's the way it is Leeds they got the goal just before half time And the leads were on top Come out second half and they play on the counter attack And you might be seeing what happened to Leeds with the right Liverpool Exactly the same Playing on the counter attack But it'd be a difficult game They haven't just got to stay in as long as they can Opportunities present themselves They have to take them And that's the top and bottom of it so There you go Let us know your thoughts in the comments What would you go for as well in terms of team selection Would you make Is there a few changes Would you like to see some of those youngsters that got on the bench Give an opportunity Maybe not for start But the likes of Stanley Mills Scored the goal this week for the under 21s Should he be getting a chance off the bench now You know If Dominic Arvind doesn't play Does that mean LSM starts Yes Let us know your thoughts in the comments Make sure to give this video a like Subscribe if you haven't already And if you want more great videos Join us over on ToffeeTV Premiere For daily live exclusives The link is in the description Up beyond the screen In two seconds See you later
