 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the math reaction Manchester City won, Everton won in a new year miracle Everton have got a point at the Etihad again that I did not expect to be talking about in such a positive light as the blues have got a other pinks today have managed to get themselves a very unlikely point at the Etihad following obviously a very poor result on Boxing Day. I really really positive result today at the Etihad and broke a long winning streak for Manchester City in recent times so a tremendous point for the blues today in Manchester. The manager, a little bit of a shock to start with Dominic Calvert-Lew and I felt obviously he's not been available for certainly the last few games. We've had the six weeks he wasn't available at all on Monday for the defeat by Wolves so to see him obviously back in the squad was one thing but for him not to be available on Monday and then to start the game today it wasn't what I was expecting. Obviously Ben Goffley coming through a back three, the manager went with a 5-3-2 it I think was the right idea or a 5-4-1 I think that's something I said I thought he may go with but I was thinking of maybe Tom Cannon starting that one with Gray buzzing around just to save Don but obviously he went with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Calvert-Lewin did a good job I think he lasted 70 minutes did well and Damari Gray buzzing around him did okay well did better and better as the game went on actually. Manchester City listen come out and it was as you'd expect all of the look they had a little bit of a worry in the opening second free clash with Harland Unintentionally stood on him and it was a painful one and it kind of threw Harland off his game men around like a bit of a lunatic in the first half got a buckham and a wild challenge was just doing things I've not seen him do before it was a little bit odd but he did score Manchester City's opener in the opening gold the game in the first half. Balls swept out to Ray of Mahrez, went past Michelenko far too easy cut the ball square Harland it at Goldwoods and the frustrating thing here is if Jordan Pickford, if it beats Pickford Ben Goffley cleans it off the line, sorry Connor Cody cleans it off the line but he doesn't pickford get a hand on it takes it past Cody to give Manchester City the lead. Although City dominated and listen as you'd expect they stroked the ball around very comfortable in possession they're a fantastic football team of tremendous players they didn't really carve us open too many times at all Jordan Pickford didn't really have much to do at all in the first half but you know they were in total control you couldn't say any different. When in one down came out in the second half and you expected it to be much of the same and obviously we had that ridiculous stoppage because the lines and batteries had gone and something which is just nonsense. Hey how's that happening? Surely they need to get lithium batteries or something once they're actually back and be they don't have used the lines in anyway but that broke up the game again at the start of the second half and I don't really think Manchester City got any kind of grasp on the game at all after that in terms of chance after chance. They normally you play City and it's wave after wave and you know they score at times 5 and 6 and you think they could have had 15 today excuse me I wasn't really the case today they were by far the better side I wouldn't sit here and try to say any different but evident stuck in there hung on in there and got themselves a goal on the break you know good break away. Bwater Damari great cut inside a great overlap run by Michelenko great cut inside not really on so he has a go and sticks in the top corner just shows you that when you actually have a shot a goal you might actually do something with it. Everton in the first half were guilty of getting into the right position and four or five times knocking it wide over hitting the cross when the shots were on and I really do wish they'd shoot more. You know we get the goal it's a tremendous goal from Damari great very frustrating player he's got lots of ability and technique you just can't get any kind of consistency out of him but he's shown in flashes what he's got in his locker it was a tremendous strike. And then a couple of minutes later we have another strike a goal with O'nana which forces a corner and we just got a little bit of confidence obviously from the goal. Broke when we cut with Garner decision making wasn't always there we also had to rely on some excellent defending at the other end to keep city out Jordan Pickford's made a couple of clearances if you like with his hands as in the way he saves but balls coming across and he's flicked them away. But he did make a huge save from Ried Mars when it was bobbling around in the box he's got a big hand on coming through crosses and Everton have got over the line. Obviously lost a couple of plays with illness as well today so for Frank Lampard he's certainly dug in for him today he's gone to the area he's got themselves a tremendous and unexpected point let's be honest city will be better teams than Everton comfortably there this season and away. So for us to go and get a point it's a tremendous result and it just sets up the game against Brighton on Tuesday night it's a huge game for Everton it really is a home game it'll be a very tough game they're a good side Brighton and all the focus has to be there. They'll have to do it without time to do it on Nana he's picked up a booking today and therefore is suspended for the Brighton game so the manager's got a little bit of a headache there but hopefully the other lad will be available after illness and he can have a stronger squad as possible. But it's a tremendous point today I'm going to give man of the match to Damari Gray actually because I know in the first half he wasn't really anybody scored it's a big goal and it's a goal that has got us a point in let's be honest breaking away he's the one we're looking for at the moment to do something so I'm going to give him man of the match because his goal was huge. There was other players who I thought Garn had another good game defensively Tarkovsky and Cody battled Godfrey battled as well but I'm going to give it to Damari Gray I'm sure people will disagree but when you score a goal like that that gets us an unexpected point he for me deserves the man of the match.
