 Welcome to Toffy TV, we're continuing our review of the season and just gone, we are up to the attack, be interested, be interested, we've done the midfield so far, we've done the defence, we've also done the new signings as well as the season of you, so check out all of those as well. On to the forwards, just before we break them down individually or should we just break them down individually because what can you say, I think, in general, you've done okay, I just don't think we're creating enough chances for them. Dominic Hamelun has done incredibly well, incredibly well, he's carried the entire club this season, really, you know, okay, too much about what anyone else thinks about that because I think it's fact, I think there's been a lot of criticism which is weird, we tend to criticise our best players, fans which is dead, dead weird, I never understand that, but I think he's carried, he's carried the club, his conversion rate is amazing, I'm sure we'll see. So, about that, maybe the other attackers haven't been quite there, but without Don putting the ball in the net this season, we wouldn't be anywhere near where we finished, we wouldn't be anywhere near 59 points, so he can probably more than anyone say he's had a good season. He's had a great effect, of course, at spels, dive spels, second half of the season wasn't great, but he certainly has had a fantastic season. Yeah, he's been brilliant hasn't he? He's said his goals have really saved everything when you think of, you know, everything of a team that don't have many goals in them anyway, and you know, that's usually we're saying that even with Rashalysen, you know, having a decent season, obviously we know Rashalysen hasn't had a great season whatsoever, so Don's had to step up and he has stepped up and he steps up every year, Dominic improves every year, and you know, 21 goals in all competitions, obviously the start of the season, he was absolutely flying, you know, the later sort of fixtures in later months, obviously we weren't creating an awful lot for him, we were focused a lot more on defending, and if something broke for him then so be it, and you know, we missed chances of course, we know we need to improve, but certainly at the start he was in full flow, wasn't he? He's got two attics in the space of a couple of weeks, and I think he's had a brilliant season. I love Dominic Calvertly, and I think he's got the right attitude, the right mentality, the right sorts of work ethic, and he'll go away in the summer and he'll work on, you know, obviously after the Euros he'll work on, what he needs to work on to improve going into next season, but he's been fantastic for me. Yn y casgliw ddwsfritialys yn just as add one of those seasons as me, and we haven't really had anyone else, we've got Josh King, we'll have a look at Moise Keeman out on loan, and Jenkshausen played, come on a sub about twice, and played in one game against the other and we know he's scored, and then off he went and got injured as well for his long club. I think the disappointment is for the season is we don't really, or didn't really know how to use them in any consistent way, there's no clear, I think this is probably the criticism of Carlo Ancelotti by fans, there's never ever a set pattern of play, so that wasn't always noticeable how we were going to score goals before games, you know a lot of it came from crosses for Dom or Tappie, and we did struggle with patterns of play, now and again we'd see a ball over the top, or a ball just through to use his pace, but it is strange that we didn't really exploit Domino Cavallun's pace, with Charleston's pace, and I think that would be the disappointment is that with Charleston and Domino Cavallun lived off scraps all season, and they had various degrees of success, Dom's conversion rate was fantastic with Charleston's, but as you said people were getting the goals, and when all the pressure is on a couple of players, certainly Dom, every miss is magnified, and if you were to watch other teams or strikers who scored a lot of goals this season, they probably had double the chances to score those goals, some getting penalties and things like that to help them, and I think that, we are very lucky that Domino Cavallun conversion rate was unbelievable this season, unbelievable. I was about to the pivot about three months ago and he was saying we've got to be careful, this is with Europe on the, you know, looking at Europe, and when we looked at Evans' conversion rate of the chances we were creating, it was high, but it was the worry was, if we stop converting, at the rate we're converting, because we were way above average, and that kind of played out in the end is that we did stop scoring goals in me, not just Dom and everybody's show. Let's have a look at Domino Cavallun, then. 39 games in all competitions, start of 38 of them, 21 goals, four assists, Jules, 150% of his Jules shot per game, two and a half, so the fact that he basically got one in two from two and a half shots a game is incredible, is an incredible record, that's in all competitions, I've got his actual, he got 16 Premier League goals in 33 games, his ex-team was 18 points. He scored two less than he should have done on the good chances, so that's not bad. He's got 10 goals from open play, four from corners and two from free kicks, this season getting on the end of things, and that is open play, goals have improved every season as is goals as well. But in general he's been fantastic, and it is strange that people do want to finally, some people, loads of people loving loads of people. Again you're talking minorities, but some people don't want to seem to put the people together. There's not many better players out there at the moment. We know he's better at some things than he is at others, of course. He's still got a wake on a lot of things, but this is a lad that in the last 18 months has come on, leaps and bands, just through hard work and coaching, and you know, when you look at success stories like that, you think there's opportunities for other players. When we talk about people like Ben Godfrey, players who have come from nowhere and elevated themselves with doms in that same category, surely, he's really elevated himself now to the point where he's second choice, I would imagine for the English Cog as a striker behind Harry Kane of all people, one of the best strikers in the world, best striker in the Premier League. And I think as well, even though we didn't have a great second half of the season in terms of goals, I think just on that England thing is that if you look at the squad, they didn't call Patrick Bamford, who I think ended up scoring one more goal than him, but I think there was penalty in there. Your Dolly Walkins who had a really good season and a good second half of the season, but I don't think in the eyes of Southgate that they come closer to Dominic Harvenley, just because the type of players they've got in the England squad won't make chances that they'll gobble up as far as I'm concerned. I honestly believe that if you were to put him in a Man City team, he'd score a ridiculous amount of goals just because they could guarantee him chances every game. And because of the play areas he gets into, he would convert a lot of those chances and ultimately that's the problem, we don't make him enough chances, we don't have a set way of making chances, that would be a criticism of Carlo Ancelotti and all of the coaching staff. We've come off a season where we were reliant on defending, but we have to find a way, whether it be full backs or wingers, where we're hitting areas that he's getting into and you have that consistency. Because I think that's the thing, it's like early on in the season, I think he was getting in areas and he was putting the ball in the back of the net, six yard box every time, bang it was in there, sliding across he was in there. Those kind of chances I think dried up as the season went on and then he started feeding off scraps, a lot of back to goal stuff. Early on in the season, Richard was getting wide and then Dean and then pulling it back and he was in there and I think that's the kind of chances that we need to work on as a club and that's where bringing a full backs in and wingers in, who you know can guarantee you those. We were talking on the midfielders one and we were looking like a woby and his cross conversion is like 14%. How can you marry that up with a striker like that? How can you say 14% of his crosses? We'll find you. Do you know what I mean? That's where we need to get that balance because Dean on the other side obviously provides a lot more but once you cut that cut one half of your pitch off it's going to be really hard for people like them as well so I think the fact that he scored 21 goals in 39 games is just unbelievable really. One and two isn't it? One and two but in everything I'm one and two in the Premier League. No I agree absolutely and how many games this season did we sit there and say you know Dom worked really hard today but he just had no chances whatsoever and he's having to do a lot of his work in the wrong areas and that was something that we saw Dom doing early on in his everything career. He was just dropping into the midfield sometimes dropping in front of the defence and picking the ball up and you were frustrated. You were saying you shouldn't be there. You should be in and around the six yard box but at times this season I think he sort of felt he's had to do that because he's not getting the ball in any other way. But like you said at the start of the season you know we had hammers who'd switched the ball to Dean. Dean had either get it in straight away or he'd give it to Rashalyson and Dom. I don't think Dom scored maybe the West Ham goal actually other than the West Ham goal he hadn't scored past eight yards or something like that nine yards this season but he's getting in the right areas at the right time. He was getting on the end of the ball whether it be Flicks on the line whether it be you know the one against West Brom where Rashalyson cut it across and you'll start to slide and make a connection with it. And yet his goal conversion rate has been absolutely phenomenal this season and Dom is a striker that if you give him a chance he'll take it, if he falls to him in the box more often than not he'll take it. He's not necessarily a player who's going to take on four or five players and slotting in the back of the net but he will improve on that and he'll go away and he'll look at his West Ham goal and think right I need to do more of that. If I get an opportunity in front of a goal like that I need to make sure that nine times out of ten it's in the back of the net. Well he nearly did that at City didn't he? He nearly did the same thing it was a lovely ball he ran across them got the shot a bit more of an angle on it might have been harder for Edison but you're right there. He doesn't really create his own chances and I don't know whether I'll be honest I don't know whether he'll ever be able to do that at his age he's not weird he's more like an old fashioned number nine. I was going to say you think that's something that's only come into the game in the last ten years where we expect strikers to make their own chances. Yeah yeah I just mean when you look at you just mentioned Harry Kane the Harry Kane is very much someone who can drop the shoulder and whip on in front 25-30 yards where Dom isn't that player that doesn't necessarily make him not a good player. It just means we have to like you just have we have to work as a team and create the right kind of chances for them ideally your other player with them. Play to the strengths. We'll be doing that but it is playing to the strengths. Dominic Alford lewn strengths are he's phenomenal in there. If you give him good crosses for him to attack he'll hit the target. He's seen his goal in the derby, the leap on that ball and he's added it down. You know other times a lot of his goals brighten around. Willed the other week off the deep corner to the back post that's in the net. He's fantastic in there and sometimes and this is one area that I think he really does need to work on. Sometimes he misses one where he's got a little bit of time to think about it. You know I'm thinking of him. I want to see him thinking it over goalkeepers. You know and that maybe is something he needs to work on. Leeds away could have put the game to bed. You know lovely little ball. He's one on one. He's trying to go under Messi here instead of just thinking it over him. That's something that you can work on and hopefully with enough practice it becomes muscle memory. You just lift it, you lift it, you see. That's like a salad or cane does that. Or cavani, that experience. Psych is when they're in that moment. So just thinking over the keeper and it's in the back of the net. That's having complete faith in your own ability. That's getting to that level where you're always like confident because you know of your own ability. You've seen that with cane. You've seen how cane's moved on. When I was all round game it's got better. Not only finished the season's top goalscorer but the most assists as well. That's incredible for a season. You look at people like a guero and how much when they play it's just... There's no thought about it. That is the only thing with Don. I think that he's worked so hard to be the striker he is. That it's not quite instinctive. It's something you can tell he's worked on. Where some strikers are, it's already there. It's Godgiven. You could do it at any level. I think that's where he... Not saying he has to work harder but... I think what he's done is he's worked so hard at all of his parts. Of course he's got some show comments because we've seen how far he's come. So of course it was going to be inevitable. That's some part of his game going perfect. He's going to move on to now. Because once one party game is there, you keep that on the level and you build up the other part. I think it will come. But you know what? If it doesn't come, if it never comes, those kind of goals, you'll get into the keeper and just dink in them. You're still a really good player. If you look at them and go right, how do we get the best out of them? That's what you need to do. If he can continue scoring around this amount of goals every year, isn't that what everybody says? We need a 20-goal season striker. There he is. Every year he's got better and better. He scored a dink against Westam, didn't he, in the cup, when Michael Keane played the ball over and went on to it. He dinked it over so he got it there but he just needs to... I agree, I don't think it's as much instinctive because I think he was a midfielder for Sheffield United so he wasn't out and out all season striker and he's obviously come in and that's very much been his role and he's had to go, right, okay, well I need to adapt my game. I've got no doubts whatsoever that Dominic Calvert-Lun will score more goals next season and he'll be a better player next season. I think you'll yield it. So what's he scored, 16 in the Premier League this season, I think you'll see 20 plus in the Premier League, maybe 25, 26... We've got to create for him now. If we don't get better at creating chances for him then it'll be more difficult for him to score. It's no surprise that early on in the season we've got free-flowing, you know, we've got back-to-back hat-tricks. It goes on, didn't it? First player to do so for however long? Because we were creating those chances for him. Second half of the season, like you said, the chances started being few and far between and he would go games where he'd snatched something because it'd be the only opportunity he got in the game. You know, where it's... Imagine like you said if he was Man City and you go, well, I know I'm getting far chances today. If you missed the first one, you don't get tense because you think, I'll get another one in a minute. See, you watch all the top strikers, they miss opportunities, they just go again because they know the next one's coming and they'll score it. I think the problem is, and maybe what people's criticism of them is, that I think deep down we all know we don't create loads of chances so if he does pass an opportunity it feels like a pivotable moment in the game whereas when you're a good side creating a lot of chances, you just go, you'll get another one, you're just like, I'm lucky, let's go and we'll make another one in a minute. I think with us sometimes it's like, we might get another opportunity now because we've seen that. That's not his fault. The main thing about it is though, what is weird is about this evidence side and you have to look at the manager as well on this is that he can be used as a batter-in-ram and he doesn't get used as a batter-in-ram so in games where I'm passing the ball on the back and you just think, go on to them, go along. Or do what we've seen in the final weeks of the season where we were starting to put the thread the ball and obviously got the one at West Ham. That to me is where we have gone along this season. It's like, if in doubt, just whack a crossing. Wack a crossing or stick one on his chest, don't put it up there, stick one on his chest and let him bring it down and start to play higher up the pitch. He's a great batter, he's a target, he's an old-fashioned target man. It's been spoken about for the last couple of years of people comparing him with Grame Sharp cos that's what he looks like to people. And Grame Sharp wasn't like this player who went through and scored loads and loads of goals. He did for a couple of seasons, but most of the time he was 15, 16 while his strike partner got a good amount of goals. Grame Sharp has ended up the highest-ever goal scorer post-war because consistently over years and years and years he was getting goals and goals and goals. So when you get, you know, when you get your Gary Rennachers for a year or Adrian E for a couple of years or then Tony Cotty for a few years and Duncan Faggs and Kevin Campbell's wherever else Paul Ryderth. Yeah, they had little spells, but Grame Sharp was like that for like 10 years, 10 years. Do you know what I mean? And that's what I imagine Dom to be is someone that over a space of time would get consistently 15 to 20 goals every season. You know, there are failings with them, of course there are, but don't hold them to account for no-one getting the best start of them. Not getting the best start of them and other people aren't scoring enough goals. And that's the thing. If there was 10 goals spread around each for about four other players, then is 21 going to be amazing? You'd be going, oh my God, what a player. But you might also go away in the summer and go, right, this team is heavily reliant on me and my goals. So I'm going to work on battling two or three defenders. I'm going to work on taking it past people and creating my own chances. This is a ladw. It was always a good header of the ball, but wasn't ever the level he is now. I mean, Pep Guardiola come out, I remember, a couple of years ago and said, other than Cristiano Ronaldo, nobody's better than the ball in him. And everyone went, what, he's not that good, but even Pep Guardiola come out and said, he's unbelievable in here. I think physically you have to look at him as well. You're physically the way he's developed. He's got, he's like you now, camp. You know what I mean, fella? No, I mean, he's up there. He's worked on himself though, because again, he's seen what's... He, as a player, has identified, I think, what he needs it to do and has gone out and done it. So you might be like him, you might look at it and go, well, if they're not going to do it for me, I'll do it for me. And it's that single man that's that. If they haven't done it careful, it's that single man that's at a point where he'll just go, am I continuing to do this on my own? We're looking at Harry Kane in the summer, there's summer looking around going. And I'm not saying he's carrying the team, I'm not saying that at all, but what I'm saying is that you've got to be careful what you wish for. It's goals are carrying. It's goals are carrying the team. And at some point, if he keeps on elevating himself. And we don't. And we don't. We've been able to... And he's working on that. And he's working on that. He's seen them last year on the bike. He's seen them last year on the bike. He's got to a period of his life where he's putting muscles on muscles. He's building himself into a very, very good Premier League athlete centre forward. What other people should be doing and they're not. And if one day he knocks on the manager's dormant, you can't fulfil the things I want to do then. We've been here before. Of course we have. I've seen all kinds of messages to look at you last night. We've been here before with other players as well. If the club doesn't match where they're going, then those players will move on. Harry Kane's the perfect example of that. The first thing to do next season is get them on the pens. Well, this is ridiculous that he's not anyway. Get them on the pens. First thing. He's going to be asking the manager in the summer. Can he get on the penalties? Because he can't compete with those people at the top of the league if certain teams are getting 10, 15 pens a season. But the thing about him is, like you just said, can every year he's improved. He works hard. He can't get a bit better, of course. He can't but listen. Let's not want to have him play. That can't get a bit better. No, but let's put everyone round him. Let's give him more opportunity and get others. Because I think he's had a great season, I really do. Onto someone who hasn't had a great season, in my opinion, he's had his way of season 11. I think that's fact. Richard Ellison, 40 games played. I mean the two of them, you know, 79 games between them. Yeah, that is a problem. That's a problem right there. Started 39. Doms was 39, started 38, whatever it was. Goals 13 in all competitions. Three assists. Successful dribble is 60%. Big chance is created. Four, this is not great. Shot, again, two and a half. So they're both. So if they're a chief goalscorer, and they're averaging five shots again between them, which tells you everything you need to know. About everything. About everything and where the problems are. Richard Ellison, since he's come in, he's been fantastic for everything. Up until this season. And this season, he hasn't been terrible, but he hasn't been anywhere near his level. He's got seven Premier League goals this season. His XG, I think, was 10. So he's got three goals less than he should have got on the chances created for him. But he'd had 13, I think, for the opening couple of seasons, hadn't he? I think he works really hard. I think he's suffered from us not really knowing what we want to do with him. If that makes sense. It's like he's on the left for a bit, then he was up front for a bit, and then we've even tried him on the right, and then it's just... He's finished the season. I don't know where he's playing, cos he's not where he was on the left. So, I mean, how have you made seeing Richard Ellison's season this year? Yeah, he's had the difficult one, hasn't he? I think unfortunately for Richard Ellison, as we mentioned before, we're a team that don't have many goals in it whatsoever. Without our two strikers, I, Richard Ellison and Dominic Calvert, you're looking at three or four goals for your secondary score. No hammers has got a few this season, and guilty. So, when you take away Richard Ellison, he can't really afford to have a bad season. He can't afford to score 50% less goals than what he usually does. So, when he has a season like that, it's all, oh my God, he's been absolutely terrible. He hasn't been great. Don't get me wrong, but like you said, imagine we had two wingers that had scored 10, and you had a couple of them in field to score them five each. You probably look at Richard Ellison and go, he's struggled this season, but it's not the end of the world. He'll go again next season, where it's because we haven't got that. It's like, oh my God, he's been dreadful. Look, he struggled, and I agree. I think he hasn't really, again, he hasn't really had that consistency as he's been on the left at the start of the season, where he was creating more than scoring for Dom, and with obviously going from Lucadine to Richard Ellison to Dom, then he played up front for a bit, but he wasn't really playing in a partnership with Dom. It was more just the two of them as individuals. So, I do, I think, again, he's been a bit all around the world, and he's in terms of positions, and he hasn't really fitted into one. He hasn't really fitted into one position consistently, but 13 goals, like you said, seven in the Premier League, three assists. He couldn't have afforded to have a season like this for us, because we haven't got the goals to replace that. He has, and I think he'll come back stronger next season. I think you've seen the goal against Wolves, what it means to him, and how much he needed that goal. He scored the goal around the field, which obviously will go down in history for us. But he struggled. No-one scored more match winners than Richard Ellison. There you go. But overall, or just this season? This season. Five teams, that one, the game, like the odd, the winning goal. It was four, I think, of the teams when he'd gone through. He was the one who got the most consistently for his team. So, he's a player that turns up in big games and big opportunities, and he's done that at times this season, not as much as he usually does. But look, he's had a bit of a bad season, and he's struggled, and I do think that's through various different things. Let's not forget, as well, on December, he got centre of the moon by Manchester United. He got knocked clean out, and within about a week was right back in the team. When you could see that, he wasn't even in the stadium when it happened to him. And again, maybe he's fallen a little bit under that, because the responsibility is all on him. That pressure is just over. It's got too much for him this season, where the last couple of seasons, he's taken that and ran with it. But I think he'll only get better. He'll come back stronger next season, and he'll hopefully have another 15, 16 goal this season. I mean, like Cam just said there, he just mentioned one of the injuries, and he also had to send it off against Liverpool in the month of football. We know he had another issue on December, and he wasn't quite right, and he came back, and obviously had that head injury, and he's had a very stop-start season. It reminds me of when we signed him, and people said about the second half of the season, at Wafford, and how all the goals have dried up and everything. And I think that's all that comes down to. I think he's played two seasons, back-to-back, of relentless football. The way he plays football is always trying to do something. It hasn't looked the same this season, and I don't think we've quite seen the parts of the game that really fans love. And we haven't been there either. I think that's what it comes down to. I think he feeds off the crowd, loves the adulation of the crowd. Some people absolutely, it drives them on. It's what they get up for. I can't sit here saying he had a good season because he hasn't. But there's many factors. He's a young lad that lives in a foreign country. He's far away from his family. I've just seen him now. He's back in Brazil now, getting ready for the Copa America. You see him when he gets a chance, he goes back, he sees his family, he's surrounded by people. He has many to do any of that. It's difficult. You see him all the time, doing stuff for Evertonians, for fans. He obviously loves being here. He obviously loves what it means. But it just doesn't click this season. He takes it out on himself. He takes it out on people around him. I was at the Chelsea game when we thought we'd had a penalty. He was batting. You could see him having a goa calo and you could dare him. People were like, I'll just get your head on the game. There's just little moments like that during the season. It happens sometimes. It happens. This season has been like no other. He's also not the main man. I think he likes being the main man. I think he likes the responsibility of being the main man. Sometimes when it's taken away from him, maybe he can't get himself to the levels he needs to be at. That's maturity, I think. There's a lack of maturity in him. That will kick in. He hasn't had a great season but he's had a lot better season than some other people. 13 goals, 3 assists. I'd like to see the assist part of his game be higher. If he's not scoring the goals but that shot per game is for both is just pathetic. 5, that tells you everything you need to know about this football team. Especially when they're the chief players who you'd expect to get goals and you're getting them 5 opportunities. Because of how many games have we had where the two of them barely touched the ball. They run around, they battle, they work hard. That's why Vasharlason hasn't got nowhere near the ball. Not because of his own doing. Just because it spends all of its time in that half. Must be frustrating as well. One of the things when you're looking at it as well is that I said it right at the very start when we looked at the games he's played. There's no other options either. So if you've got Tom and Rytzi who were taking the brunt of these games and they're up against physical players in the Premier League like it is, it's a battle all the time and you've got no other option. Everton haven't got any other options and that's not good because we should have been able to go to him. Coming city for a couple of games but you can't because there's nobody else. Tom, we showed Tom injured and then he came on and I'm filled with half on our left and it was amazing. We went for him and he'd already scored and of course we win him 1-0 and it was a real option off the bench who made a difference, didn't he? When he got the penalty he terrified them and all of a sudden you were thinking because I'm asking if we had that all season a different option to be able to bring on to give them a blow to just mix it up in different games because you're looking at them and going well the Charles isn't easily good enough to be an Everton first team he's one of our best players but if you're in Dominic and getting chances and what you do you take them off the team and then rebuild and this is the biggest challenge for us as a club now is how do we put more into those areas because we haven't got it we've got hammers and we'll look at them in a minute he's been great but you can't rely on them we know that so we really do have to go and get a fast winger this summer and we have to get another centre forward just lighten the bed because these lad are playing I remember at Wolves when we were winning 2-1 and he brought them off the bench with about 5-6 he's just come on back not fit, not when they fit but he gave them something to think but he came off the bench and he had a couple of little runs and he made them think and he pushed them back but he was so he could see them, I don't know if there was anything there it was just that I'm saying it shouldn't happen but you should have the way you come on and give them something to think about we should have that in our squad anyway for him to come off I think the problem is that you need players and this is where the moist game situation is you need players you can do that and then you need players who the manager trust can start the next game as well so there's a you play the starting games they're coming off the bench all of them so there's like I might have gone and started most games but there's a chance for Charleston to sit on the bench today but you know as a player you're going to come on and change this game but then you're going to be starting the next game because I just need to give you a rest and we haven't got that so he's being pushed all the way this season and it's wore him right down you can tell that and the same with Don they should not have been playing football and we haven't quite got that right and we brought in another striker and that hasn't worked out and you should have I think three always that are competing three that are always battling out for those spots all the time not two and one who's further down the picker nor the three all the time you are going to keep the others hungry and keep them honest and then if he goes off the boil for whatever reason, fatigue whatever, whatever then you can take him out and that's been our problem it's been our problem for some time actually heavily reliant on him for three seasons you know the last let's not forget Dominic Calvert Llearn wasn't 25 goals last season he wasn't 25 goals the season before so over Charleston's goals that kept us even just steady I know he didn't have great seasons but it kept us in and around those levels so when you've got a player as you said who's constantly playing football with his international team now and the way he plays I'll preserve me and if I'm not getting chances I'll preserve all my energy it's full 110% every time he's on the pitch 100 mile an hour it's going to get to a point where he's being told and like you said if you can't take him off and go use it there for three weeks it's just got to be richy lad you've got to play the next game you're starting and you're playing 90 minutes on Tuesday as well the big problem is is that did we finish the season with the pair I'm only scoring in one game one Premier League game Crystal Palace third game into the season that to me the winner again that to me is a problem and that's not necessarily their problem but we didn't get them scoring in games together and that's got to be a problem hasn't it that's got to be a lack of chances that's got to be a lack of chances that's a lack of older people creating that sounds like one's creating for the other that's a problem that's ideally you'd have someone if you're playing a 4-3-3 you'd have someone flying down that wing the right wing and throwing balls in and if Dom isn't getting it he'd be on the back stick and knock on the min he's a good editor of the ball he's great in there he's great in there the goal against Wolves is absolutely stunning but we don't give them them opportunities and he can never be in with Dom because he's out there trying to create or he's dropping off 13 goals and that and you know really in a position are we to complain no no no it's just that like we said it'd be the bad I think the way I look at it is it'd be the bad the season like he's normally at in the Premier League then I think we'd have gotten your because we've took six goals the goals might have won games but goals and games moving on to Hamers Rodriguez 26 games played in all competition 24 of them six goals nine assists key passes per game 1.8 big chances created 11 passes 83% he's also second I think in the pre-assist what about his thought assist thought I don't know he has created he's the X here for planes he's really good at an X here on bikes he's also created a third of all of Everton's chances this season on his own so for people who think he's being garbage or whatever he still does create he's a third top scorer or fourth top scorer as well isn't he so Hamers Rodriguez what do you think of him? I think it's been a good season for him in the Premier League in terms of the games played and what he's done you know sister and field goal at Old Stafford scored important goals early on couple against Brighton West Bram and I think obviously the goal against Crystal Palace was a really good goal as well I think we got what we expected most people expected out of him I think the frustration came later on in the season when it felt like we really needed him so therefore because he wasn't playing it was that frustration that goes on to the player that to me sounds about what he should have played about 26 games that sounds about right what we thought the problem is that when he didn't play there was nobody else and I don't think he can be like that next season it has to be that he plays and if he doesn't play the player who's taking his places is like the future is going to be the player who is the player who replaces him or a winger we have to use Hamers Rodriguez maybe we want to use him no we are waiting to see where the Hamers Rodriguez is injured and what is the plan after that does he almost have to become a bit par player next season for us wasn't he a bit par player this season but what I mean is for every time he was fit he started but why wouldn't you start him in every game he was available for the point being is that that should be on our teams your talking there saying for the future and you've said this a couple of times no you can't build the team you can't build the team random but what you can do is you can use them tactically so you would never use them in a gaming and it leads away you just wouldn't you wouldn't use them in a game where you know it's going to be a high press from the opposition where they're going to be on them straight away we've seen in games what the opposition did to them Newcastle at home taking turns so you've got to do this you've got to use them on your teams and I think that's what would be different for me they would have other players it would be for the manager to say no you're not playing today you sit down you're on the bench or whatever and then it's 20 minutes from the end you need that inspiration that comes on maybe and then what you say is you'll still play your 25 games but there'll be you've got to treat them for what he is and what he can offer and the good part of his game and then no one is coming up to a period where he's played too many games or he's too many games in a row or there's too many games there's three games in a week but you're not playing on the Wednesday are you? or you're not playing on the Saturday because on the Wednesday we've got a game that you can make a difference in it has to be on our teams because he has to be managed and I don't think it's quite being managed this season is this still is this still due to the fact that our squad just isn't good enough this he's listening here he's a well-classed player in the body of somebody who who's obviously for whatever reason whatever I don't know what those reasons are but for whatever reasons James Vaughan retired today 32 years of age it happens to the best of them maybe not it happens to everyone some footballers body some footballers body just can't cope for whatever reason and that could be it can be self-inflicted at times it's what you put in your body it's how much you are prepared to work on it I'm not a footballer I can't but I don't have to get someone in that position or in and out of that position that works it's not ideal when the back-up is gilfy sigurton someone who's older than them do you know what I mean it doesn't get injured as much as Amazon Vegas and gilfy stats have ended up quite well and maybe that should have been managed better but obviously this track I think there was times when they tried to do that I think what's currently went eh March coming into April when he sort of went out the team and they were like no we'll leave him for a few weeks and he'll come back refreshed and when he come back he looked great someone else pointed out as well on the back of the amount of games that he's missed it's been a season where the games were truncated as well so where he missed nine games in a normal season he might have missed three December there's loads of games in December we worked out when when Dean got injured Dean got injured in October he would have missed half half the games that he actually did miss cos his games went into December into January that's what happens with the season being longer more recovery time more time playing Call of Duty that's what we all want in it he probably would have played more games the season was weird when did the season start to September September the ninth there you go you've missed a month all the midweek games for the first four weeks it was just like bam bam bam it was mad so we have to all mad kickoff times next season we have to have someone in there who can take his place take the burden off him let him come in he knows what the Premier League is like now he'll go away playing the Copper America and we have to work on it and make make him benefit us so you get rid of all that ffumin which gets created the only thing I was disappointed by and I know why it happened the only thing I was disappointed is that he wasn't there last game with the season of Godderson to do the lap of honour I was a little bit disappointed with him and with the club for allowing that because because we know the reaction that creates I don't understand why the club are not more savvy to that kind of thing ultimately we are fans we are allowed to get upset I don't care what anyone says we are allowed to get upset I think anyone who saw the pictures of him tweeting on the plane has got every right to feel upset by it I'm not upset by it but I feel like everyone's got a right to be upset about that because he is an everton player and he should have been in the last game with the season he's an everton player we pay his wages and he's an everton player and he should have been there and it's an emotional game and it is and he should have been there and people were disappointed that no one's got to see him this season and then you see him on a plane flying home people have got a right to be upset and I know people got all the ffume again the ffume is created when you see the ffume about his injuries are when literally you've just said it Bas when the club put out a wrong message he's got fatigue to me he sounds like he can't be asked do you know what I mean but that's a medical term he's fatigued the muscle is fatigued and it's come from an Italian manager who says it's a way and then it all gets spun the wrong way because Carlo could have come out and said I've told him he can go on and then everyone would have gone will the club have told him? Carlo when he's not he's told him but if he had said he should have just cleared up the why he was missing putting it out like you just said and everyone would have gone he's a bit tired can't be asked the muscle fatigue means he can't move he's got scars in his calf which means he's injured Hamins Rodriguez for you I think he's had a good season I just think we haven't been able to manage him properly because of the lack of quality in the squad and what we've done is we've become over-reliant on him and that's easy to do because of how good of a footballer he is but we all said in the summer or September when he come in he's absolutely well class and everything player without those injuries if he was coming in to play 40 games like Dominic Calvert-Lewin he wouldn't be anywhere near everything football club and we wouldn't have got him for nothing and he'd have gone somewhere in the Champions League so we knew that and then when he come in and he played the first few games of the season having probably barely visited Finch Farm he probably first seen the home kit on the opening day of the season we become very over-reliant on that quality because we haven't had that for years maybe even since our tether the ball up the way he does and can find the pass the way he can so then when he goes out into it it's like oh my god what are we going to do and I completely agree with Ped is if you've got nobody to come in who can even do half the job he can Guilffy is a very good player but he's not in the same bracket as Hamins or Zeegers I don't think they're even the same type of player even though they play in a round about the same position I don't think they're the same type of player whatsoever we've got nobody half as good as he can do it so when he comes out it's a massive drop-off and this is why he's had to be mismanaged because Angelotti's looked at him in the same way he's looked at Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin and gone for the most of the season other than that part in March, April when he said he's not playing until he's 100% that's because before all of that he'd been playing when he's not 100% because we've got nobody else to put him in I think Carl even said he wasn't 100% on the Derby but because it's a Derby and it's a massive game he's got to be in there but he knew every time Carl put him in he knew that a couple of days later he wasn't going to be available for the next game because he was going to pick up another knock or another injury so we haven't been able to manage him because we haven't had nobody else to come in and replace him this season he's being great he could have had a season where he plays 26 games goes one goal and gets two assists and then everyone would go he's not being with the Assel but he has been with the Assel, the goaler the Derby assist was absolutely excellent he found that pass nobody else at football club would have found that pass the goal against Leicester there's goals early on even the palace goal he squeezes that into such a tight angle I think the bar is that it's not hassle it's not hassle it's not hassle it's not hassle the manager asks him to come on the pitch and do something and in most games he does the game away to full him he orchestrated that he orchestrated the goals in that he was coming and don't forget as well big part of this comes from Seamus Coleman getting injured when Seamus Coleman got injured it disrupted that way we were playing which was really nice him coming off the right, no one had the clue how to pick him up soon as Seamus Coleman if we had an energetic right back we could get up and down and provide that width, that space doesn't even have to touch the ball you know he's there, could go back it's not when he's on the pitch he's not on the pitch, you can do about that you've got to manage that but when he's on the pitch most games he's done something and we as fans look at him so when people go it's not worth the hassle it's like what hassle is he out on the ale every night causing problems for the club is he on X amount of money a week is he causing all kinds of problems the way the club look at it is this fella come in worldwide headlines we did a brilliant way of revealing them billboards in New York and bills in Bogotar and Miami and Liverpool and everything else we are now trying to build a fan base off the back of him in South America in North America in Spanish speaking communities cos he gets you through the door and if you look at it from that point of view it is a big success in fact I would say haven't done using him enough which is no shock because I don't think they ever they never ever go fully on board he's not on the promotional the first thing you should have done is you knew him at number 10 it's already gilfy your number 19 mate we see on our commenters when he's getting number 10 it means something he's the number 10 sorry gilfy you're not on number 10 he's on number 10 sorry made me feel see ya upset people why isn't he modelling the new way kid why isn't he front page right there in the new kid cos you know why because if he says in the summer I'm leaving that's the end of it I think he's leaving or not if he makes a decision if he goes in the summer accent on my tarn call the duties mate then he's done he won't make that decision that's what you've got to understand when I play like this if he decides you want to call it a day he'll call it a day and that's why he's not you're absolutely right you're selling the kids that are coming on sale in a week or two he's asked what happens in August he's in the kit he's selling the kit photo shopping in it's so easy to do he couldn't model it that way put him on the plane full kit it out beat up and everything we've become over reliant on him because he's so much better than anything we've got and the drop off is drastic I think you're sure as well with as his fitness wein in the early months of the season and often did he come in to get it on his left foot and get shot away from the edge and I remember thinking he's scoring three or four from outside the box because he's got that and then the latter part of the season he was never in and around the edge of the box really after the goal of old Trafford if you think I like the later games he was dropping into deep to get the ball and trying to get us playing and I think the shame is calling and messing him up isn't it not having another right back I could do the shame but also Dean picking up an injury because the first three or four weeks of the season he'd get it, it'd go to Dean Dean would put it in and it'd be Richard when you replace that with golffree he doesn't get forward he's sort of looking thinking when you don't have a right back you can do that and you put him in as a proper number 10 he didn't quite work because once you've got a number 10 you've got someone to pick him up so he never really worked that and don't forget he hasn't played in front of the crowd either so when people talk about him where's his bond with the club he's just playing for a mid table in an empty stadium look at how much he plays off the club hopefully when he comes back for next season and we're all back in the stadium and we can watch him and the fleshy and get behind him, the bond will grow then but at the moment to him the worst club he's played for was just a mid table team his experience of being here he's been in England at the time of a pandemic you can't really do anything no one can be with you seeing the images of his daughter who hasn't seen for nearly a year or something normal times she'd have come over here a few times it's a big season and no fans hopefully he'll come back and we'll move on but I think he's been good but I understand people saying you can't build a team and I totally understand that but sometimes people are upset with other things not him and the thing you should be upset with is Evan don't have a squalt that can replace him that's what you should be upset with the lack of options in my opinion not necessarily happening well if I'd have said at the start when he signed him do you think we'll build a team around him everyone would have gone now but I think a lot of people would have said yeah you might have said no but I think a lot of people would have said no I wouldn't have built a team around him but don't forget the few when Evan took three days to announce him because there were things things were showing that he wasn't going to be fully fifth for 35 games but people were ffuming don't ever mess up don't you dare Evan with a joke with this with that which some people get really you know why I'm not with the reality was he's here for nothing because he was only ever going to play 25 games a season and finally someone who probably wished he'd played 25 games this season is and now there was shank tossing and Moise Keane was here for two games but there was no point looking at either of those Josh King 11 games didn't start a single one no goals, no assists 57% I mean Ned stitched him up a bit there because he's got such a small sample size that he's made him look even worse than probably where he is I think it all trafficked which resulted in us getting a draw big moments in his career it's Joshua King I've seen people train his awful and this, that and the other I can only think of him daily playing for Bournemouth when he was very much not awful in the Premier League he's come in he hasn't been given a go and that is probably on him because you're training every day and you don't do enough then why would the man want to play you but I think let's begin at the start Everton had to bring him in didn't he and don't forget on Deadline Day he was very much Everton's second choice he wasn't who he wanted he was someone who he thought we need to bring a striker in because of Dom and Richie both had injuries, if they'd have got another injury we'd be knackered I mean let's put this horrendous rumour to bed that I've seen this week he did not cost 5 million quid people still think he cost 5 million quid because Everton put a tweet out saying that's how much his fantasy football thing was and it was like he wasn't 5 million quid at all so let's put that to bed it wasn't even a million was he simple fact is Everton needed to bring someone in checked out someone was going back to take he needed another striker in if they hadn't brought him in there would have been an upro people would be saying this week why there's never been Josh King in it didn't work, it clearly wasn't the manager's choice he saw a deal they did a good deal because it's the end of the season imagine if he'd signed him on a 3 year deal people would be ffumoured what did you give him that for it's got to the end of the season, it hasn't worked he's trained with Everton for 5 months or 4 months and he clearly has not made an impression on them so what does that say about the player would there have been an opportunity to start him oh yeah maybe I personally I probably would have started him a couple of times just because the other two were out and not out but weighing at the best but also sometimes you don't see the best of someone so you've given them a 19 minutes and gone through it all maybe they should have signed him at the beginning of January as well for all the games the FA Cup would have seen more out of Maradare as well got that done area trying toxing out earlier but ultimately the manager didn't fancy him and every time he came off the bench I was never really impressed with him bar a couple of little moments I remember he'd come on his first game against Leeds and nearly remember we were fighting to get the ball down the other pitch and he'd give it straight back to them and help them have a counter attack and I never thought he was fit and the reason why is because his touch was so bad he never looked fit because it was bouncing off him all the time and ultimately scored against Fulham didn't he but that would have come to ultimately it never worked imagine he'd gone to Fulham and scored six goals and kept them up imagine what the ffume would be then everything took a chance on a player and it hasn't worked and it happens and he's going to leave, he'll go and that's it and that's it, it happens in football every year Norwich one of me will probably go to Norwich and do well in the prime next year we didn't see that and you're right we didn't see it but it was a gamble it was a gamble worth taking wasn't it it was a gamble that was very low risk and could have been very high reward I mean six month contract if he does well he earns a new one if he doesn't do well he leaves not pretty much no fee whatsoever wages wouldn't be very high and look it hasn't worked and it's clear what the manager thinks of him when you're losing against chef United and you're losing against Villa it's clear he's not in the manager's plans no matter how much the manager will say he's working hard and saying he's this, that and the other he's obviously not good enough he's not showing it and when he's come on the pitch he's looked unfit sometimes there's been times when he's been on the pitch for seven minutes and he'll run around for five and then he'll be blowing out of his backside for the final two minutes of the game and that sort of makes you think he's been on with four or five minutes to go because the manager knows that if you give him half an hour after five minutes he's going to be absolutely goose and then he'd just be a liability walking around the pitch then obviously he had the chance against West Ham as well which should have been a goal handballed off the line and you're right maybe if he would have got a goal earlier on in his first couple of games they give him a bit of a kickstart they give him a bit of a boost but you know he was brought in to provide a little bit of back up brought in as an emergency sort of idea because ideally, well ideally would have already had someone in the summer and ideally would have had someone like you said Richelton could come out for Dom, could come out for but that was never going to be the case with Josh King it was if them two were injured and seriously injured then he'll come in but whilst they fit and they're still going he'll just sit a place on the bench I mean look at our bench for the last few weeks of the season it's absolutely shocking we couldn't even feel nine players against City eight players and two of the McGull keepers and I don't think Josh King was in the squad for the City game either so yeah it hasn't worked and he missed games with injury didn't he? a man was just saying he didn't train he hadn't been training he was on the bench for the old game he hadn't trained so you don't know how big a part that played if he wasn't training how can you give someone a game and if you put them on and they look nached it's obviously because they're not training 100% so listen it was a small like you just said a low risk gamble he didn't work and he'll move on and he'll go somewhere and get a contract and he'll probably score a few goals and he'll make nothing go go to Celtic with Eddie Haw well yeah I mean he's been linked again he's been linked with Der again and I think that would be a good move from going up there I think he would do well up in Scotland and especially playing for a manateur who knows him well and knows how to use him and has belief in him he'll probably do well but overall I think it's clear to see we need other options as well as the lads we've got and in the main Hamers, Rytialysen and Dom did well especially so we do need another winger and we need another striker to help them out and to put pressure on them at the same time so hopefully that's what I'm going to do there you go let us know what you think in the comments section below about anything we've discussed Dom how good the season is is it just one of those this year Hamers what have you been impressed with Hamers Rodriguez let us know in the comments section below subscribe if you haven't if you want
