 Welcome to Toffey TV, Everton have concluded their little mini tour of, not really a tour, they were just in Sydney weren't they? Two games in Sydney, obviously they played Celtic on Sunday morning, was it? Sunday morning, obviously mid-afternoon in Australia and they've now played against the Wanderers. Western Sydney Wanderers. There's winning 5-1 in that game and obviously Celtic it went to penalties after a nil-nil draw, I haven't won that as well. Winning the Sydney Super Cup. Another trophy, there you go. So yeah, I mean listen, they've done the tour now, obviously. They've fulfilled their contract obligations and you know they'll be coming home for a bit of a break. What have you made of it, what have you made of the two games and what can Everton get out of this? I think the Celtic game wasn't a great performance by any set of the imagination. Celtic were a better side in that one, Everton were. The man to try the different formation played for the five at the back, it was. And we just couldn't, we got into these opportunities and couldn't it the saga, which has been the story of the season, really so far. And at the other end, we were mostly on the defensive because Celtic looked like a team that knew exactly what they were doing. And so you're talking about what you took out of that game. Well obviously we won on penalties, but in terms of what you could take out of that one, I think the biggest thing was at a price, really on Sunday, I think he was the best player on the pitch. I think it was good to see Patterson back and ride nothing down the right hand side, getting his fitness up, because obviously he'd only just returned before they had the break, that was good. It gave a few defenders a game, Michael Cain, Hallgate and stuff like that, but I think price was the take away from the first game. And then the second game, you know, today as I was recording, Everton were quite good. The caveat is not against the strongest opposition, so you know, don't read too much into it, but I think credit, where credit's due sometimes is that they were very, they were a lot better going forward. They've scored five goals, they probably should have got eight or nine. Really they've missed a couple of open goals and keepers made some say, I think they ended up with eight shots on target. I think they had 22 shots in the game and they've scored five goals. It's kind of a goal to show. If you have more shots, you score more goals. And again, Isaac Price was very good, again, let's use the measure of the opponents, but he was very good and I think the manager will be quite pleased with that. Yeah, I mean, at the first game, I think there was a little bit of negativity coming off the back of it, of why Everton travelled all the way to Australia to basically put 10 men behind the ball and not try something new. I don't quite understand, does this thing of like, I don't know whether it's, I don't know what it is, it's like when he hasn't got Connor Cody and those two together with Tarkowski, it's like he's got all these defenders so he goes, I'll have to play three at the back, I don't quite get that, I don't know why he does that. It's like he doesn't quite trust the plays he's got. I just stick to what we're doing and maybe be a bit more attack and have more players going forward, I'm not overly bothered about that because it's just a run out really, just an opportunity to play a couple of games while the break's on and a great opportunity for Evertonians in Australia to, and Asia, parts of East Asia and New Zealand and obviously fans have gone over there to see them as well, so good for the club from that point of view. And obviously the second game was against the local team which is good again and we saw this sort of similar thing when we went to America, didn't we playing a big club and playing on a bigger scale and then playing on a lesser scale and luckily enough this time I haven't actually won the game where I've been getting beat but I think from those kinds of points of view I think it's a good run out, I think it's a good opportunity for Everton to connect to the fan base as well over there. There's obviously a lot of ex-parts, there's obviously a lot of fans that have come through because of Tim Cail as well and they're always good things, just a touch base for those fans and say we do appreciate you and there's not, I don't think in the summer, I don't know if there's a massive scope for Everton to go over there just because America is, they've got a sort of, I think for us we've got to stick to our guns now and go to America every year and try and build a bigger fan base over there but also the facilities and things like that but you know it keeps people fresh isn't it, a lot of players who haven't been involved have been playing games plus as you said Paterson's got a couple of games under his belt and for the young lads as well it's been a good exercise for the young lads hasn't it? Yeah I mean you know the games, there was a lot of negativity the other day, the Celtic game, I think people are just frustrated I think we're not in a very good run of form anyway, I think if Everton would have beat Bournemouth then no-one would have been really that bothered but I think obviously we had two terrible results, well we had three in a week which was shawtham on it and then the Celtic game was a bit, it was frustrating, we didn't play well. All of our frailties if you like was shown in that game in terms of the attack and third you know, Neil Malpine had a really poor game, Anthony Gordon was really quiet, the Marey Grey looked lively but no end product, Dwight McNeill come on and didn't do anything and people were just, you know, having been improving you know but it was an exhibition game and that's why he played the three defenders really to give them games. Then obviously against Western Sydney there was just, he played four at the back and he had three midfield plays, Dwight McNeill actually played midfield and actually did quite well in midfield, again I'm not sure anyone jumps on me saying they weren't very good I'm just talking about you can only play what's in front of you but to give the likes of you know Tom Cannon's got on today and scored a goal that'll do his confidence great, Stanley Mills should've scored, blazed over, Cannon should've scored another one blazed over. Seb Quake got on the pitch, Andrewson got on the pitch, Rhys Welch got on the pitch you know and I haven't finished the game I think with the seven academy players on the pitch and that's really good and they all look comfortable and I'll tell you that all right is well for Niagara, you know and again opposition in all app but for the manager he's got to see them but I think for people like, for people like Isaac Price, you know Tom Davis had to go home early with an injury so you know he might be out for a while. And for someone like Isaac Price that's an opportunity now that a few weeks ago we wouldn't have been in that situation. I think that he seems to have been the major one way people have said that this kid looks really really comfortable in the ball and you know he's managed a match in the first game and certainly done well in the second game so that's a real positive. Listen it's not full squad of course it's not the place of the world cup you've got people like Donald Carver who are out injured so for those players to go over I think it's a good run out. We're not the only one that's going to be teams in the next few weeks that likes to live a pool of going over to Dubai in a couple of weeks time so you know it's been a good exercise. Whether it's fallen at the right time I don't know whether it would have been better to have a couple of weeks break and then sort of get almost like a pre-season going again ahead of the games but only ever to know that and they'll obviously adjust themselves accordingly. I'm sure they'll have some friendlies and stuff like that to get themselves back but they can have a break now ahead of obviously what is a second half of the season even though there's more games in the second half. Obviously it all starts again on Boxing Day so there's a good break now for them. I think also what you just said there the importance of having fulfilled an obligation but also got a few quid out of it which every penny helps. We've gone over it you know 12 years since they were in Australia last great for the fans you know over 40,000 seeing the Celtic game. I think there was 15,000 a show there today and Everton do have connect. I mean Eddie Bosna has to see a Western Sydney one of us you know because Everton just he's there. You say the name to yourself. I mean you know what I mean. You know that Jason Kate and Bosna Keir Lucas Neil these players who have you know have got those Australian connections and forever to go over there it's good. It's good for the local fans and to win the game handsomly you know I think people will be happy to come home. In the two games mum we've got them and we're going to stay. You've got to see Andy Lonergan. You know Big Lonergan. What more do you want? You know Big Lonergan kept a clean sheet. What more do you want? No but overall I think they look at it now and go that was a worth wild trip. You know we've gone out to play a couple of games. Giving some lads to my nagli. Decorae. Got games. Come back. Have a break. And then it will be on to pre-season and many pre-season and when they do that pre-season then Godfrey will be joining them back in. Andrews Townshend will be joining them back in. Not sure Don will be at some stage and it will be the opportunity to go through stuff that they've worked on. She and Ashley Cole trying they've been there. They realise that the work needs to be done in the final third. Cos just that hasn't been good enough. It's good that they're admitting that. And that's because that is where our work needs to be done with poor in that final third. So it's got five goals in the game. It was nice to see some goals. I don't care either. It was nice to see an everton player put the ball on the back of net. And that knee Gordon was delighted he got the answer. And hopefully that will do him good to get that he got tapping in the right place where he should be. You never know what that could do. Hopefully it will give him a bit of confidence. But you know. That's all you can hope isn't it? That's all you can hope. It's still our top scorer. And Neil Maupai's scored. Header. So there you go. All good. All good. There you go. You know a good trip. Great for people who went to experience. Great for the club to connect with the fan base. And yeah. There you go. That's not what you think. That is not what you thought. If you were there. That is not what it was like. How did you think it went? And how were the different nights out that I haven't known? How did you think it went? And is there anything you can improve on?
