 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the instant match reaction Everton have done the unthinkable and managed to get a point at Manchester City. Yeah, big, big, big point that today considering West Ham got beat last night and Southampton lost today and Borm I think I've lost as well. Big, big point that Anna, Anna, Anna. Listen, can you sit here and say it was a well-deserved point? I don't know, don't know it's a well-deserved point. We had what? Possession wise something like 25% possession or 26%. But you know what? One thing I would say is Everton always look better when the after. As in like the game plan is defending, they always look better. Last season that was what got us over the line with obviously goals. And this season, I said this the other day, we've been trying to play a far too much of an expansive game that leaves us prone to losing games essentially. Well, it's today it was a case of being back to the wall, knowing you ain't going to have the ball. And I think we got it mostly right in terms of defending. It does make me laugh when people go, oh, you should have had more faith that they'd get something, behave yourself, behave yourself. We're just being beaten by wolves and boarmouth and Leicester and people like, you should have more faith, behave yourselves, behave yourselves. Faith is absolutely nothing but a construct that is made up by people to think that there's better things out there. In the harsh reality of the day, you go to Manion City and you expect to get beat after just being beaten by wolves. But listen, we defended really well. And listen, I can't sit here and say we deserve the point. But Man City had three shots on target all day, which means we defended really well. And the only chance we had, we took. And that's it. That's it, isn't it? And if that's enough to deserve a point, then we deserve the point. Our goal was absolutely incredible. The Mario Grey once again shown what he is capable of if he just gets the ball out of his feet. And as a crack, and it was our one chance of the day, we took it and it was fantastic. And when we had to go back into our defensive shape late on, everybody worked their bollocks off. Tarkowski was immense. Connor Cody was excellent. A Wobie, when he had to go to the right wing back, was excellent as well. So the whole team worked hard and even when we had to make the subs and obviously Tom Davis had to come on for Ghana, which I thought was a bit of a strange one. But obviously Dakota having to come on and Tom going off, which I'm sure was pre-planned, but we'd only just got it back to 1-1. And him having to go off at that moment. I thought the subs were spot on. I thought taking Nathan Paterson off on a booking was the right thing to do. Ben Goffy going off at that moment, with still being like 11 minutes left because of the injury time, because the referee couldn't sort his batteries out. It was a hard one to take because I thought he was excellent today and obviously kicked hell out of Harlan daily on, which seemed to really wind Harlan up. Harlan probably shouldn't have been on the pitch today. The challenge on Michalenko was out of control and then the elbow on Tarkowski, even though he'd give a foul to Tarkowski, against Tarkowski was an awful one. So I don't think he should have been on the pitch. He looked very frustrated. I know he scored, but it clearly done its job when he hit him early on. But this one, as I said, you work hard and sometimes you get your rewards and I think today everybody battled and chased and hurried. And we got our point, even though the referee was terrible and it was booking our players left, right and centre for very, very little and wasn't really punishing their players or giving us fouls. Even towards the end, Mopai should have had a foul before he got the second foul. It was a clear foul on him. He was taking out and the game was played on. But we got over the line and we got a point and that's all you can ask for when you go to somewhere like that. When you add 11 minutes on to the injury time. I know there was 11 minutes and obviously the last time that happened, I think it was Newcastle wasn't it and we got our win. Listen to something to build on, at least on it. I think maybe this is where Frank Lampard maybe goes back to the drawing board and looks at things. Having Dominic Arvillun back was brilliant, but of course I don't think any of us hold our breath with that. I think we all sit there thinking he's played what, 70 minutes today and that's brilliant now for Tuesday. If we can get him back and listen as I said, I don't say that with no hope whatsoever that he'll stay fit consistently. But having him back and me gives you a different shape of a team, it gives you something to aim for, it gives you an output. And I think if we go back to having some kind of defensive shape, I personally, if it's not going back to five, which I don't necessarily think we should do, but I would play Bengal free left back. I don't personally think Michel Enco is good enough. That's just my opinion. And I'd put Bengal free left back because I think we saw late on there when he picked the ball up and he got head down and he just charged down the line. The lad has got the pace and he's got the strength to get up and down the pitch. I think he's nowhere so defended than Michel Enco and I think Michel Enco offers you nothing in the final third. So I would go with that. I think what happens is if you go with a three, the problem is if you go with a three at the back, it always ends up as a five, always ends up as a five. And that's fine for it on a game like today, but a game like maybe not Tuesday because Brighton are actually a decent team. But maybe against, you know, against Southampton when you know you have to win. And he brings passion and desire as well. Godfrey, he brings more than just, you know, he's got aggression, he gets up and down. I don't think he's ready to play in the two because, but I do think he offers you something and I'm not quite ready to go to a three at it. As I said, I think it just goes to a five. Personally, as I said, I'd put him in for Michel Enco. I just don't think Michel Enco is good enough. I don't think he offers enough in the final third. And I think he's quite passive. Some of his passings quite is awful as well. But it's lovely to finish the year, a terrible, terrible year on a positive. And going to Man City and getting a point is a positive. Do you know what I mean? It really, really is. We've all taken a point. We've all taken that goal as well because it was an incredible goal. So delighted with that. Of course, the disappointment is O'Nana picked up a yellow card and he'll be out of the game on Tuesday. And we'll see what happens. That's for Tuesday. The manager might bring the Cory in. He might bring Tom Davison. I don't know. Might be a good time for O'Nana. I'll say a good time for a break. He went the well cup didn't he? But it might be a good time for him to have a little bit of a break. Go out the side. Take a little step back. Not that you'd want to decide. Imagine maybe the Cory had come in. And that's only because of the physical statue. Anyway, we'll deal with that. That's for the manager to deal with. As I said, today can't take anything away from the players. The desire and hunger was there all game. And I think what I liked as well is at 1-0. I think at 1-0, the dug in and made sure that we didn't go further behind. I actually think the stoppage in the second half helped us. I think it helped us a lot. That stoppage broke up the play. I know it was horrible that it lasted 11 minutes. But that broke up the momentum. People have different views. I just don't think Michelinco's good enough personally. I've never really felt he was good enough. I just think that's my opinion. If you have a different opinion, that's fine. I just think that what Ben Goffy offers you saying he's a left back is the ability. He's a better defender. He's more physical. He's got more pace. He's got more aggression. Is he any good in the final third? No, but now there's Michelinco. That's just my opinion. And instead of going to 3-3 at the back, which as I said, just ends up as a 5. I'd keep him in there at left back. It's not about the shape at all. Michelinco is a full back. He's supposed to get forward. It's got nothing to do with the shape. It's just nonsense. The nicest thing is defensive full backs anymore. Defensive full backs are supposed to bomb on. And give you your wit so your wide man can tuck in inside. And allow your middle 3 to sit and protect like Liverpool. Listen, I don't care how young Michelinco is if he's not good enough right now. I hate this thing of the young let them develop. Ever another team in the bottom half of the table. We don't have time to allow loads of players to develop. We just don't. Cos this is what you end up with. A team that isn't very good. You've got to have players in there who are ready to play right now. And that's why I'd have Ben Goffy in there at left back. Is Ben Goffy not a young player? Does he not have to develop? Is he not somebody that needs to play? So would you have him in instead of Conor Cody or Tarkowski? So that's to me all I'm saying is that I've been going for you in the left back. Simple as that. That's just my opinion. And that's not again people got to get you get so personal about people. It's about what is the best for Evan? What is the best team for Evan? What is the best setup for Evan? What wins those games of football? It doesn't matter if you like people don't like them. It doesn't matter. It's what wins those games of football. It's what stops the manager from getting sacked and ever getting relegated. You know, does anyone, you know, aren't the guns nowhere near the side today? Does anyone care? Does anyone care? No, no one cares. Ped-wide do you want us to do something anything different than what we just did? Because we won't be playing Man City every week. We won't need in games. We won't need five. This is what I'm listening to what I'm saying. If you have five, if you have three at the back it becomes five. We don't need to be five. And I like Ben Godfrey. Other people might like Ben Godfrey, other people might like Michael Enkelmore. I like Ben Godfrey. I'd have him at left back. Would I have him at centre back? No. I'd have Ben Godfrey because he's aggressive and he he he is fast and he's aggressive. So that's why I'd have him at left back. Simple as that. I think he's a better left back than Michael Enkel. My opinion. He offers us more than what we need. And actually then when you're attacking you can go into a three if you want to. That's just my opinion and the manager will probably have a completely different opinion. And as I said, this is just my opinion but I'd have him and the manager might have a different opinion. It just depends on how he wants to play. We can't play with five at the back all the time. But today we showed that when we have backs against the wall we can dig in. And that's what got us through last season. So that's maybe where the manager's got to look at it and think Do I change something? Do I go? Do I start playing a little bit more defensively? Do we go back to a little bit more to what we did last season towards the end of the season? And stop losing games? Wait and see. But what I would say is the away support today amazing again. And they got a little bit of a reward for backing the club as much as they do. So this isn't a good point. Well it's not a good point. It's a great point. And we'll move on. I'm Tuesday night with a home opportunity to get three points even though it's a tough game. Very, very tough game. We'll have to wait and see. But there you go. It's an interesting debate. Some people like Michelinco. I personally don't think he's that good personally. That's just my opinion. And I think Ben Goffy gives us an opportunity to have another defender in there with pace. Which is I think something we've been missing and a bit of power. Let me know. Let me know your thoughts. Ben Goffy you keep him in the side. So where do you keep him? Do you go to a three at the back? Fine. Go to a three at the back. Then we have wing backs. Fine. Do you keep something similar to what we have today? Do you go with the same thing? Do we start playing counter-attack on football? Is that something we look at now? Do we try and just start playing on the counter-attack? Who knows the manager may have been given food for thought on a few players today. With not having obviously Anthony Gordon in the side. With not having Mach Neil in the side. Let me know. Listen. Do you know what? It's dead weird when you do live shows when people go criticising you for not liking someone. I know. I don't think Michelin goes a very good left back. That's my opinion. It's the same way. I don't think Dwight Mach Neil's a very good footballer. And I don't think Neil Maupal's a very good player. They're just my opinions. Whether you have different opinions. That's fine. That is fine. I don't care. You have your opinions. I have my opinions. You don't need to fall out or have a go at anyone on a barri. You can just go and just say why you like your opinion and why you think you think something. There you go. Be interesting. Be interesting. But we have to replace on Anna on Tuesday night against Brighton. If we could get three points against Brighton. If. If. And that's a huge if. Be huge. Be absolutely. Just be huge. Be huge. Because if you'd probably said can we get four points out of city walls. And Brighton. I think most people might have gone. Yeah. That's not terrible. That isn't terrible because if you'd said OK. If we'd said seven points out of the four games. I think. Gavin just on just on Gavin Cunningham just in the comments there. Just about Tom Davis. Tom Davis come on today. Did he come on today. Did he replace Garnay. I think he did didn't he. I think he came on today didn't he. I think he came on. Yeah. I think he came on. I think he played in the game today. So there you go. Can't be that bad. Can he be that bad. There you go. And actually what I said was that people love giving Tom Davis grief when he plays poorly, but never give him any credit when he plays well. So there you go. There you go. It's all about our opinions. We have got three points. I wish we've got a point. Feels like three points doesn't it. We've got a point against. He did come on the 78th minute, which means he played 25 minutes. There you go. We get a point against Manchester City. Good stuff. Right. There you go. I'll be back to do my play ratings in a little minute. Make sure to check out Baz's videos as well whenever he gets round to do them. Anyway, there you go. Thank you for watching. It's a good point and we move on to the Brighton game. I'll be back very, very soon with my play ratings. See you later.
