 Welcome to ToffeeTV, it's the Intermaster Action Ever and I've just been beaten 3-0 by Bournemouth in what feels like a real, the real lowest point of the season even though there's been a few of them. Just ahead of obviously the break ahead of the World Cup. We are fortunate that we're not in the bottom three. We are 17th with 14 points from 15 games minus 6 goals and frankly, that was abysmal. That was absolutely abysmal. An absolute disgrace of a performance. Just horrendous performance. There was absolutely nothing from them. I just don't know how. One thing I'll say is I'm glad he put Tom Cannon on in the second half. I'm a bit disappointed that he didn't put players on. That he didn't put them on half time actually because we were that bad in the first half and we're 2-0 down. I'm a little bit annoyed that he didn't put Stanley Mills on actually because he deserved to be on the pitch with that showing in the first half. But that was just horrendous and that's been what again in the last week basically all the issues that we've had prior that we've got away with. Shot them outside the box. The defending in general, the midfield, the not scoring goals. It's all come back to haters in the last three games getting one goal in three games. We are fundamentally just an absolute fucking shit show in the final third. This is where it's come from. We are an absolute shit show. Dwight MacNeill is a fucking abysmal footballer. Let's get it right. Let's get it right. He's a fucking abysmal footballer. Grey on the other side is a fucking lazy footballer and Maupai is a fucking rubbish centre forward. Let's get it right. Let's not mix our words here. Let's not play to the fucking club. Let's not play to the crowd. Those three are championship players. Antony Gordon's attitude fucking stinks. So therefore he's sitting on the bench and well else if you've got, you've got Dom and the Carvel Luminue. He's been playing with three injuries and whatever reason hasn't played. But those three up front are fucking shit. And whoever sanctioned Maupai signing and Dwight MacNeill signing needs running out of not only for Everton Football Club but football as a whole. They are two absolutely fucking woeful players. Well, I'll tell you what. Maupai just doesn't suit us. Just doesn't suit us at all. He just doesn't suit the way we play or people putting crosses in. Dwight MacNeill is fucking shite. I don't care. I've said this loads of times this season. He is a woeful footballer. A woeful footballer. Absolutely shite he is. Right. He's not anywhere near the level Everton are trying to be in. Right. And that front three are the cause of everything. Plus Anthony Gordon, who his attitude stinks the gaff out. So therefore all your attacking players are useless. Are useless. What we've been relying on is the back line. That's what we've been relying on. Tarkowski and Connor Cody and Michael Enko and obviously Patterson up till when he got injured. Unfortunately what's happened is the recipe for disaster has always been there. It's always been there. We've let too many shots come in and we put blocks and tackles in. Funny enough, it's been said to me a couple of times that that will only last as good as those two players are playing well and Jordan Pickford is doing well. Well, Jordan Pickford throws one in today, doesn't he, for the first goal and that's the end of it. At that point, we had 71% possession and it rolled on. The second goal is just farcical. It's farcical. The referee is a joke. I'll tell you where he's a joke. He's a joke because the player goes down on the floor injured and he doesn't deal with it. And then just before our time, one of their players goes down. He wasn't even hitting the head and he stops the game immediately. That's criminal, absolute criminal. And the player who went down for us didn't even go off. Michael Enko went off. That goal is just beyond the disgrace. It's beyond the disgrace. And then the third goal is almost like we've give up because it's a set piece and we've give up. And at the end of the game, listen, it went off. Let me just show you this from the end of the game when the Everton players came over to the Everton fans. You can see they're not great teams. Jordan Pickford saying to the players, we tried. Alex Owoby getting into it with somebody. Shate being thrown into the crowd. Shate being thrown out of the crowd. Just not good at all. Absolutely not good at all. I mean, we've had this harmony together and listen, I'm not blaming anyone there. I mean, the fans are rightly angry. They've been down to Bournemouth twice and seen this concede seven in the last few games. So I'm not, I'm not. The fans have got every right to be angry. They're like, I'm angry and like, oh, you're all angry. To saying to fans we've tried is a joke. We have not tried there at all. The partner plays, we are just, I don't understand what we're trying to do on the pitch. I really don't. I really don't. We pass it. Possession was really high today. They just hit on the counter-attack. David is on the counter-attack again like Saturday, sorry, like Tuesday. But what are we trying to do? Because when we get in the final third, nobody shoots. Nobody has an attempt to goal. Nobody tries to have a shot. I think, I think we've had four attempts there today, a goal from our right back alone. We've had four attempts to goal. You know, where are the efforts coming from? Mopai, where are the efforts coming from? Mawobi, where are the efforts coming from? Our wide men. It's abysmal. And it doesn't take, by the way, this stuff does not take ages to do. It doesn't take ages to do. We just make it look like it takes ages to do. It hasn't took Newcastle ages to do. It didn't take West Ham ages to do. All right, they're not doing brains at the moment. Brentford have been to cities today and beaten them 2-1. They had nicely mid-table in the mid-table. You know, they're doing fine. All these teams that are above us that have spent far less money. You know, even this summer, Brentford this summer spent a load less money than what we spent this summer. We make it look hard all the way through the club. It starts at the top, starts at the top and comes all the way down to the dressing room. There's just an ineptness at the club. And I'm glad that we got to see Tom Cannon. People have been telling me he's not good enough. He's not good enough for this level. Sand, if he's not good enough, he's not good enough. But at least give him a chance because the people who've been playing are a joke. Mopai is nowhere near. Again, £15 million for a player who's nothing like the player you've got on your side. I don't know how do we spend £5 million on a key for more? I know he's not a great footballer, but he would have been decent back-up, more like Dominic Harvent-Lewan than Mopai. He might be a very good player, but he's definitely scored more goals than Mopai this season. He's definitely scored more goals than Dominic Harvent-Lewan. You've got to go a bit more like for life. And I'd rather have someone like that than what we've got. So this is to me, whichever way you cut it, this is the beginning and the end for Frank Lampard. As a football club, we've proved time and time again. You don't come back from this. You do not come back from things like this. And to me, he's proved he's not really a good enough manager for what we need, for where we are, for what we're trying to do. I don't know what we're trying to do, by the way. I really don't. I watch this every week and I'm like, Palace game is great, but as I said at the time, I said at the time against Palace, Palace had one midfielder. I said that and everyone was like, oh, just enjoyed the win. Well, yeah, you can enjoy the wins and also point out why the other team was so shite. And it was because that day Palace had one midfielder and we walked through and it was dead easy and everyone was patting each other on the back. But that's one winning seven, is he? One winning seven. That's diabolical. That is diabolical and people have got, oh, look where we were last season. Look how bad. Yeah, but we spent money in the summer to improve. We spent money in the summer. And we never replaced what we needed to, which was for Charleston's goals and we bought in dross. Dwight MacNeil is dross. Maupite is dross. They are not good footballers. They are not good enough for Everton Football Club. But people just seem to have accepted that these players are good enough for Everton Football Club. You know, I understand the concept of, oh, we'll try and get like 12 this season. I understand that from where we were coming from. But this is what we've been reduced to. This is what we've been reduced to. And it hasn't taken that long, by the way. Two seasons ago, we got 59 points, which any other year would have got you Europe. But 59, but we all go, people, you know, what Carlos, football was rubbish, but his football got us where it was. And it was 59 points. And normally that would get you Europe by just using what you add and winning games. And we've sold, we've sold all that attack and threat in the last few years, in the last two years. With Charleston, Guilfrey Sigartons left the club, Hamas Rodriguez left the club. You know, Luca Dean left the club, who was our only goal threat in from wide areas. We've allowed these people to leave the club and have not replaced them. We've replaced them with shite and we wonder why we are where we are now. We've got Mopai playing in front of them for us instead of with Charleston and Dominic Alvin Lewin. You know, we've got wide menu, a crap. We've got full backs, you can't go forward. You know, we've got no goals in midfield, no goals whatsoever in midfield, none whatsoever. And by the way, I'm getting this all this out now because I don't have to talk for six weeks. I'm getting it all out now. I'm not asked. The team has been decimated in the last two years. Absolutely decimated. And people somehow sit there and think it's like, oh, he's much better than them, he's much better than them. It's not. If you sell with Charleston, if you know you've got to sell with Charleston, you've got to go and get someone who's like with Charleston. You have to, you have to go looking all over the world for talent that's on its way up. We went to fucking Bainley and brought a player who scored one goal last season and got relegated. Fucking Bainley. We went for our main attacking role as fucking Bainley, a team who could not score goals last season. We went to a centre forward who does not score goals, who does not score goals and thought that was going to be good enough. We thought those plays were going to be good enough to improve the team. The only thing that's improved this season is Tarkowski and Connor Cody. And they're in the team because Frank must have known that we were so fucking shit that he had to have two proper defenders in it. Imagine if we had Michael Keenan fucking Mason Allgate playing for us right now. Can you imagine how bad we'd be or where we'd be? Rock bottom. Rock bottom. And if something does not change in January, this team will be exactly where it was last season, but except without any goals in it. And if you can't score goals, if you don't have a Charleston type, you can grab over the scuff of the neck of game and go and get a goal. Then you are going down and people have to fucking start understanding that. And the clubs have to start understanding that. I don't give a shit if we've only played 15 games right. I don't care. There is no goals in this team. None. None whatsoever. And if everyone do not go and get players, if they do not go and have the plan already in place to bring people in, then we are fucked. And we are fucked. It doesn't matter how many centre backs you've got or left backs or right backs or whatever. If you've got no one up front you can score. No one in the wide age can score and no man feels can score. Then you are fucked. It's as simple as that. And that either means... And what that means is it doesn't matter about the manager. It doesn't matter about the manager, right? One tiny bit. It matters about players you bring into the team, because fucking Pep could not work with this side and Harlan couldn't fucking score in this side because it's abysmal. It's abysmal. And that's why I'm not sitting here going, I've got to get rid of Frank. We've got to get rid of Frank. Nobody could work with this shit, Joe. Nobody. Nobody could work with those players. Nobody. I don't quite understand Frank Lampard's tactics. I don't understand this sub. I don't understand the subs. His in-game subs are a joke. They brought players on while we've got players sitting on the bench and we're 3-0 down or whatever it was. I don't understand that at all. I don't understand that. So his in-game, and I've always been consistent on that, his in-game management is poor, very, very poor. And you look at his bench and you go, fucking hell, what's this? Everything do not get this sorted out. They've got six weeks, six weeks now, right? To sort some, to get some training done and get some players in. And that's the only, players in is the only thing that's going to change it. And is that Kevin Fellwell buying the place or is that Frank Lampard? That needs to be addressed. Who's doing that properly? The club has been far too wishy-washy for years. The people on the board are fucking useless. The owners fucking useless. Ken Wright's fucking useless. And if they don't give the power to someone like Kevin Fellwell to sort this out, then it's pointless. Kevin Fellwell should be bringing players in. And Frank Lampard shouldn't even have a say on it. And Frank Lampard should be taking them round and going, nah, don't want him, don't like the look of him. If we've done all the work, if we've done all the data, if we've done all the homework on these players, then that's down to the recruitment side. That's down to them. And they have to get that sorted. And they have to bring people in and the manager doesn't like it and the manager walks. So be it. But there has to be a thread running through this football club of who's in charge and who's bringing the players in. So that has to start happening. That has to start happening. Simple as that. And you know, not everyone, listen, people sit to a garner and a niner and whoever. Those players, I personally feel in a different setup with attacking options would do so much better. Garner's not a bad player. It's just you can't put him in front of the back four on his own. You can't do that. And a niner's not playing exactly where he needs to be either. So that can be sorted. I believe that can be sorted personally. It's those forward areas which can, we do not have to play as the football. Dominic Alvin will never ever be the Dominic Alvin who played for under Carlo Ancelotti. He will never be that player again. We have to all just, we have to all just understand that. He's never going to be that player ever again. Let's be honest. And that's where everything got it wrong this summer. Instead of looking for a backup for Mopai, if by buying Mopai, they should have been looking for a replacement for Dominic Alvin. And it's great that we went in late for Kudos and mudricking up. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. They should have been the first ones coming in. Instead of bringing better players in, we bought more dead board in the summer. So I have not had one of these rant phrases. And listen, it has been coming. It's not like we can sit here going, this is, you know, this, everything's alright. Everything isn't alright, is it? Everything isn't alright. I think a lot of people fooled themselves. Maybe those included when we had the run and we weren't getting beat. And that was fine. You've got to enjoy the moments. You've got to enjoy when your team's doing alright and expected. And we were seeing improvements, but we were patching it up. The team was patched up. The team was, if you looked at all the data, we were conceding far too many chances. We were conceding far too many shots. This isn't a knee-jake reaction. Getting beat three times in a week. Conceding seven goals to boom is not a knee-jake reaction. Frank Lampard has been at this football club genuinely. Kevin Fellwell has been at this club since March-April time. They've had plenty of time to try and get this sorted. And they haven't. So there's no way on earth. If you're an Evertonian tonight and you're sort of sitting here going, it'll be alright. Then fine. Do you know what? Good stuff. I would love to have your interpretation or your way of thinking on games of football. I really would. But I don't have that. I simply don't have that. That's not me. I've seen this a million times. And that's why I'm not sitting here going, Frank Lampard must go. Frank Lampard must go. It's the team. The players. You know why on it, why did we, why honestly did we reject a bid for Anthony Gordon? Why? Anthony Gordon can't get in this Everton team and we knocked back 40 million for him. Why? We could have used that money and gone and bought real talent. It's no point going spending all your money on a defence when you can't score goals or you haven't got a way of scoring goals. Set pieces again today. Jesus Christ. Set pieces today. Abismo. Great in the face man. Jesus Christ. That's, that's their fundamentals. They, that's the fundamentals of football. Scoring off set pieces. We laughed, we laughed at Martin's because he didn't like them. I don't think Frank likes them or his coaching team like them because he doesn't look like they work on them. We've won nine games under Frank Lampard. Nine games. Is that good enough really? Is that good enough not to be asking questions? Is that good enough not to be angry? The question is, is are Everton going to really go out and bring in some attacking players? If they are, fine. If they get them in on the first of January, fine. We have something to work with then. Listen. As I said before, I'm not sitting here saying Frank Lampard should be sacked because I don't think we've got the place. I don't think we've got the place. I look at that, that front three today are a championship. A championship team. That front three. Last year Jamie Carrick said we had a championship back four. Now we've got a championship three. Front three. Because we sold the money out of our strike here and we spent it on a back four. And I think the back four will be alright. I think the back four will be fine. I do. Get, get. We had, up to when they scored today we had 70% of the possession but we had one shot. The Mal Pie one. The one shot we'd had. And that sums up our team and then they went down the other end. The keeper makes a mistake and they score. And that sums up and everyone's head went down. Everyone's head went down. Everyone knew. Fans knew, players knew. When they scored, that was the game. That was the game. The game was over the minute they scored because that is the confidence levels of our team. That's the confidence level as a fan. We've got another team. We knew that. We knew that on Tuesday night. We knew that. It's not, this is not a, you know, we're not sitting here telling anyone they don't, they don't tell anything, no one knows but it's just, it's just shite. It's just shite and I'm sick of it and I've been sick. I've been, people's someone's actually asked me today why am I so negative. The reason I'm so negative is because I look at other clubs do the basic things so easy like not only on the pitch but off the pitch we don't, we make everything hard. I was watching the documentary the other day about Neville Southall on BBC about like, you know, one of being Wales is great and you know what? It made me feel so sad and it wasn't, it wasn't that, I was sad that we don't win anything anymore. I'm well over that. I was just sad that you look at that everything and you're at pride. You've got Neville Southall and you're at pride in that team. You look at, Neville Southall wasn't both a million pounds. He was both a buttons and he played with his heart and his soul and that team, that team played with their heart and the soul and I just watch these players every week and I watch this football club and I'm embarrassed by them. I'm embarrassed by them. Not because, not, not, it's, it's, and I said it's, I'm not asked, I know everyone won't win trophies and nobody won't. Football just isn't geared like that anymore. It just isn't set up for people, old-fashioned clubs like us anymore. But you, I don't see any pride. I don't see any, I just look at my football club and I just, I just look at them and I just think, this is just a fucking joke, the lorries. Fucking Damari Gray. I look at him and I think, you're a fucking joke. I'm arguing with people on fucking Instagram. I look at, it's the old pulling this fucking shit over them. I just look at them and I'm embarrassed that they play for our football team. I'm embarrassed, I'm embarrassed by my football team. And it's very, very, you know, you've got the likes of, you've got your Seamus Coleman's and you've got the two centre backs and I have so much respect for them because they do look like they'd run through a brick wall forever. Others, it's all just bollocks. It's all just fucking bollocks and I'm sick of it. I'd rather have kids playing for us. I'd rather have, I'd rather have just fucking bring a load of kids into the team because I'm embarrassed by them. I'm embarrassed by a football club that can't get out of its own way to finish in the top half of the table. It's not even that hard. It's not even that hard to do that in football now. I'm just embarrassed by them. We've got six weeks off now and I have to pull the fucking fingers out because this team is going down, by the way. In the summer, I said they were going down but then we brought in a couple of defenders and I thought, no, we might be all right. We might be all right. Can't score goals, you go down. It's as simple as that. If you cannot score goals, you are heading to one place and that's as simple as that. You've got to bring a winger in and you've got to bring a centre forward in before it's too late and you might as well get Stanley Mills in there. I'd rather Stanley Mills played every game than Dwight McNeil. I'd rather Tom Cannon was coming off the bench. The fans, I don't believe, and this is just me, I don't believe the fans will do what they did last season and that's not any slant on the fans. There will be so much anger in the fan base that I just don't think it can happen. I just don't. I just don't think it can happen again. Because you're seeing it now. You're seeing it now. It's his team. It's his team. And you're seeing the support already gone. The support already melted away in the last few weeks. It's already gone. How can the fan base lift itself to do what we did last season? How can they do that? I don't know. So we've got six weeks to go to go away and have a little think about it, haven't we now? Watch the World Cup, enjoy the World Cup. There you go. Rant over. It's my first run of the season. But there you go. There you go. I'm going to be back to do my play ratings in a little bit. Make sure to check out Baza's videos as well. There you go. I need to lie down first. See you in a bit.
