 Welcome to Toffy TV, here is the mat reaction. West Bromansial being nil, Everton won. Great result for Everton, but never a game. Yeah, a tough game, very tight game, predictable, you know, very predictable what kind of game it would be and it was only ever going to be the odd goal wasn't it that won this one. Carlo Antiootti made a couple of changes before the game, Guilty Sigurdson dropping down to the substitute bench and Alan also dropping down to the substitute bench. Just come back from a long injury so wasn't able to start the game. Went with Bernard coming into the side, Andre Gomez playing in a two without the light decor right in midfield. And Alex will be coming on the right hand side and Everton, West Bromans started the better, no question about it. They were at, they were at it and had an opportunity inside the first 90 seconds. The agony's head at, forcing a brilliant save from Jordan Pickford really, Everton giving the ball away and got to stop the cross. Pickford made the point of this and as the balls come in, the agony's got his head through it and Pickford's gone across and fingertips have kept it out. And that would have been the last thing Everton needed to go behind in this one. You have to say West Brom were bright, they were well organised, knew they would be some of the dice, was always going to have them well drilled and it was going to be difficult to break them down. And Everton, there was flashes in the opening 15 minutes that we could cause them some issues if we got forward, but they were in exactly the same bout. And we rarely had to, you know, the agony was a handful all night up front backing in and you know, in the penalty area, he was lively. And we had to defend well, which we did. From an offensive point of view, we had an opportunity with the Charles and we just got deflected over the bar, then got free, went on one of his maraud and runs and won us a corner. But just the final ball, you know, often we break quickly and we'd move it through the midfield and it go out to Alex Iwobi and either his final ball was poor or he'd try and stop the play and wait before trying to slide it through. And I think what would help Iwobi is if he just got it out of his feet and put a ball in front of people, so that Dominic Retialeson could run and get on the end of it. But I thought, I thought I'd be like the core, I showed trying to look and tired he's played every game, but I won, so he will do. But he wasn't able to get in the box as much as we'd like him to. And therefore, you know, Dominic all that doing on Retialeson were isolated at the time. One of the things that really annoyed me in the first half was how when we had an opportunity to attack the space with Bernardo, with Gomez, he turned round and starts again, knock it back and it's annoying because you'd work to get the ball back. And if we had more mobile players, we would have been able to break on this one, but we didn't come to those two and it was almost like a safety first element of go back. And I think maybe that's something we have to move forward from. But we had one great opportunity in the first half and it fell to Dominic Calverloo, and you probably wouldn't want it to fall to anybody else. Ball broke through him in behind a defender, goalkeeper to beat, and he smashed it against Sam Johnston's legs. And you know, you're thinking, oh, that's a big moment in the game. When in the middle of the break, come out the second half, follow the similar pattern, both teams huffing and puffing really without doing much. You know, we were long range shot man, say Gomez, which Johnston saved comfortably. They had a shot from Pereira, which picked the save comfortably. Ever made a change? Guilfee Sigarton came onto the pitch and within, he's probably only on the pitch for about 25 seconds and we'd scored. He went to take a corner, look at the, he was literally was standing over it. But Sigarton took the corner, he come back out to him and then he whipped a fantastic cross in and there's a child that's with a great header inside the six yard box. And that was it. We were in front. We had our noses in front. We had something to build on and to hang on to and the shape, it was all about the shape. And I think the one thing that this event team have got for, they haven't got the flow and attack and football. There's flashes where it looks really good. And if we were a little bit more clinical, it would be even better, a bit more insider. But what this team has is an ability to defend. You know, they know the positions to get back into the shape really well. And therefore West Brom didn't really have anything of note. You know, there's a lot of huffing and puffing. They brought Rob's and Karnu on and they brought Snodgrass on and he was trying to get balls into the box. You know, Karnu went up front with the agony and he was trying to get bodies around them and make it difficult. And Everton had survived everything. And then in the 93rd, you know, the normal statutory five minutes to stop his time and Everton playing regardless of whatever else has happened in the game. You know, one thing I would say was nice to see Scott Minto cheer up a referee again. I was wondering where he'd gone because he was obviously retired and then he seemed to be on Sky's Spanish football thing, but he was reference tonight. So just a little reference to him. But West Brom looked like he'd rescued a point, you know, in the 93rd, 94th minute. Ball into the box, breaks the agony, smashes it into the top corner. And your heart sinks as an Evertonian, because you think he was so close to hanging on. Now the Lions, his flag goes up and when it goes to VAR, it's just about the correct decision. I don't like that rule. I like it tonight because it's benefited everything. But as a whole in football, I don't really, I'd want more daylight, but it is the rule. So he's offside. It was the correct decision to disallow it and Everton just then had to get over the line. And the referee is still allowing West Brom to run up the line by about 25 yards to take a throw in. That was on the edge of the box, ended up on the halfway line and your nerves are gone a little bit. But we hung on and we got the three points and that was all that matter. There wasn't a great performance. It wasn't a vintage performance. Should we use the ball better? Yes, should we be more flowing? Yes. But we've won the game and that ultimately all that matters. And right now at the time of the recording, Everton, they're in the top four and that was the job that was set for them to do. Regardless of what anyone else does, win your games and they've done it. Three wins on the run. It's three clean sheets on the run. And we'll have that more of that as we go forward. Man, it doesn't matter for me. I'm going to give it to Richard Ellison. The match winner worked his socks off, looked at real threat, didn't have loads of service, but was still toiling away and I thought he had a really good game for Everton tonight. There was a couple of others I thought, Michael Keane and Ben Goffley were good. I thought Llewge Dyn had a good game, but in general Mason Hallgate as well. But for me, Richard Ellison was the man of the match. That's it. Let me know what you think in the comments section below.
