 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the match preview. Brighton and Hove Albion against Everton. Tough game. Three o'clock kick off at the IMAX stadium and this one's suddenly a tough one there. Brighton have won both of their Premier League games so far this season. They won in the league cup as well. One of the very few away wins of the season, obviously on the opening day. One-two on it, Burnley was it, and then a two-nil win over Watford on the weekend. It'd be interesting to see how Rathboneet has approached this one obviously. I think before the season we said at home games you'd like to think you'd be going at them or going at the teams you'd deem to be a lesser side than us. But obviously when O'Brighton are quite an attack inside, they like to be in possession. They play quite an axe football. I think last season we said it was always the problem with Brighton was the goal they were scoring. They've had a four out of two in the Premier League so far. Obviously they lost to Ben White at the best players but they made some decent signings. They've got Shane Duffy back who was on loan last season. It's Celtic was it. Obviously scoring on the weekend and more pay come up with another goal. So it's interesting to see how Rathboneet has approached it.

It's an interesting team because Grain Potter who obviously we were getting linked with in the summer. He's got that beard now so he clearly wants to be taken seriously. I don't feel like it. I don't feel like Potter and the beard work. You're not sure about that. I think that's like a statement. That's like take me seriously this year boys and girls. This is a new Grain Potter and I am not to be trifled with. I think last season they played some really good football. The problem is that they didn't have a goal scorer and I don't know if they still have a goal scorer. I know they've made a couple of deals this summer. They've been trying to get a striker in all year. That could possibly elevate them to that mid section of teams. Last season they played some really good football. They've got a style and it works but the ultimate problem was they just couldn't put the ball in the back of the net. The XG was off in the league I think. Obviously it was the final product. I was going to say I'm guessing because they switched the style of play up a bit this season. They went to the back four of the past two games. They brought a left back in. They brought a centre mid it. They played three at the back on Saturday home. The first game they played four at the back. They've played different style. The first game they played four, one, four, one and then on Saturday they played three, five, two, one. Three, five, two. I think that's 12 players. I don't think they've got the facilities for that. So they had two behind Mal Pay up front. So obviously at home looking for more goals. They obviously started to get a season away. They had one there behind and then obviously they turned that round in the second half. So they have scored goals so far this season. They went away in the league cup. They made 11 changes in the league cup and won 2-0 away. So they've got that confidence of being in a Premier League club now. They've been in the Premier League a few seasons now. I think there's a third season now. What's important is undoubtedly a good coach. Undoubtedly a good manager. It's a club that fits him. I do believe he will be a manager who will make that step when the time is right. We'll have to wait and see where that is and when that is and where he goes. I don't believe Everton was the right for them this summer. I do believe he's a good coach. I just don't think with what Everton, when you look at what we've done this summer in terms of players and what we've got, I don't think he would have handled that situation the right way. Brighton has been able to build it and keeps building it. He is one forward away. One decent forward. If he had a 20-gold a seasons like that, they'd be knocking on the door, I think, to be in that group for European teams. Just simply because they've got a style of play and it works and they've got experience now in the Premier League. This is a tough game. We haven't done well at Brighton. Last year was a nail nail bore and draw towards the end of the season. Year before we got B3-2 in that controversial game. Year before we drew 1-1 with that last minute Wayne Rooney penalty. We haven't done well down there at all. This is going to be a very tough game. The difference is we've just come off the back of a tough game that leads as well. Three away games in a week. Rafa Benises, I think tactically he'll be ready for them. These move the ball really well and we're going to have to put a plan in place because if they click and they're doing some games, they look a very exciting team. We know they can score gold. They scored four out of two games like I said before. It would be interesting to see how, like I said before, Rafa will approach this game. I don't know whether this is a good opportunity to bring Godfrey back. Obviously we played a back three last night. I can't see that happening. I don't think that was just the way with the nine changes we made last night. It will be interesting to see whether we go back to a partnership with Mina and Keating or whether this is a chance to bring Godfrey in. No, I think this will be Godfrey and Mina. I think Godfrey is back available. The manager left them out precautionary against Huddersfield. I don't think Keating is up to it. I don't think Hullgate is up to it. I think Mina is the main man alongside having been Godfrey there for the pace of the back. For me, it will be interesting to see the team. I think the team recently, let me say recently, we've only played a couple of Premier League games, but it's interesting that most positions picked themselves at the moment. Let's be honest, most positions Alan and the Coray will play, of course, but it's not normal play with Charleston or play. Then it's the case of does he leave a Wobie in? Does he bring Tarns ending? Now, Wobie has done well in all the games he's played this season. Scored obviously in the League Cup, a couple of pre-assists. He's done well, but does he leave him in? Bring Tarns and played against Huddersfield as well? He's got a couple of decisions to make just on a tactical basis, but I think apart from maybe Keating will go out. I think it will be much of a muchness, but for us it's about taking our chances anyway. You go away from home without taking your chances. These give us chances. Obviously, they've played two teams so far who are, who they'd expect to beat. I think Burnley will be, I think, I'll be around the bottom area again this season. Well, they were one position off their relegation. Wofford, even though they had a great start against Villar, I think again they'll struggle this season, of course. Both goals they got against Wofford basically came from mistakes as well, and they capitalised on those mistakes, and it's about us getting rid of those mistakes. So far this season we've given away goals. We've given out of the three goals we've conceded in the Premier League, you could say at least two of them, and you have question marks about the second one against Leeds as well. So it's about us not giving away anything stupid. You can say that every single week, but that's got to be the way you look at it. You can't give away mistakes. Midfield's going to be a big battle, I think, for me. Well, I think that's the benefit of having gone through back. If you make these mistakes then you've got the recovery pace to cap his line. I don't think Bryton are the fastest team. More pay in a tross I do, they've got a bit of a partnership. I think a tross I play in the split striker. They're not rapid, but they've got a bit of pace. Having Godfrey back in there with the recovery pace in case you make a mistake is important. And yeah, midfield. Besiwm is the name when everyone's lips, if he said Bryton. I suppose he's the first player. He's there, star man. He's so energetic. He's good on the ball. He gets round the pitch. I think next summer people are going to come really knocking for him. It's almost the case sometimes when you look at a player and you think really like him. He's a player that evidently fans have said we should go after him. I think by the end of the season he's going to be beyond our market. It'd be a 40, 50 million point. He's going to be the kind of player that Chelsea look at, but for someone like Chelsea or even someone like Manchester City, it's worth him having another season of Bryton just to get that little bit more experience. I think to be honest, if anyone's going in for a bid for him, not this summer, but I think United... They might do, yeah. Any of the top sides will have a look for him. He is an all-round midfielder. He can do a bit of everything. He's got a bit of everything. At the weekend he played alongside Adam Alana, so it was a bit of experience day 83. He now played a lot of Premier League games. It's interesting to see whether he starts against us at the weekend. They had Trossard and McAlister ahead of them. In front of a three, he would have been that protection really. So it will be a real battle in there, especially if we go in there with Alan and the Cora again. It's just our main two and others around them. It's going to be a tough game, but we've just got to minimise what they can do. If we can get come out of this period going into the international break with the home game after that, and we're unbeaten, then it's not a bad start of the season. I think you'd be... I don't know what everyone's expectations are. You'd maybe be looking at the situation thinking... Just don't lose. I don't know whether people would go... We expected one win from at least Leeds and Brighton. I don't know. It's early on in the season. Leeds, it was the first home game in the Premier League in front of a full house in 16 years or 17 years. Brighton have won three games so far two in the Premier League. They'll be full of confidence. I'm not going to sit here saying that I wouldn't take a draw, but obviously it comes down to the basis of how you play. We've just got to play well and the way we played against Leeds, I think a lot of people felt at the end of the game that it was a missed opportunity to win, but there was still more to come from this team. Let's hope that more comes in this game. If we've got our players firing on all cylinders, the likes of the Charlottes and the likes of Dominic Carmel women, then hopefully we can get the goals and it will be a tough game. Obviously they've lost Ben White, they've brought Shane Duffy back into the fold, which is interesting because he was at Celtic last year and he was awful, but they've brought him back in. They've played really well against Watford, and that will be interesting because you've got obviously Lewis Duncan, Shane Duffy, they were two, six foot three, six foot five. So it will be interesting whether we play a thousand, just try and throw crosses and all. Try and play more, try and introduce a bit of link-up playing, try and create some different chances. It will be an absolute battle for Dominic Carmel women and that's where you do need your charlotsons to drive with the ball, you need your DeMarie Grey to drive with the ball, maybe not a lot of crosses in the air, more low fizzers, because Dom obviously, Dom's great at them, getting at the end of them, sliding in. We've seen that in the first couple of games, DeMarie Grey putting little fizzers in there, with Charlotteson the same. I think that's what we need, we need to get behind them, but not always look for the cross in the air, even though I think Dom scored a head of goal against these last season, mean he scored a head of goal against them, he scored this one as well, didn't he? So it's not that you can't score in the air, but with the likes of Duffy and Lewis Duncan around, it's going to be harder. But I think if we are putting the fizzers across the box, that's where you need your charlotsons and your grey buzzing around. That's where it comes interesting in the midfield, does he go 4-3-3 or does he keep it as it is? We'll have to wait and see. Townsend can come in a maker of 4-3-3, then you're leaving, you're probably leaving a Wobie out then, I mean it's mad, still not a Wobie in it, and then you've got Grey on one side with Charlotteson on the other down down the middle, or you know, it's going to be interesting, I think he's got a few. Obviously he comes down to it as well, you know how fit everybody is, but for me having Ben go off free back, go off free back next to me, I think that's massively important as well, because you've got the height of the other end as well, you've got set pieces, the likes of Duncan and Duffy are always dangerous, so having them in there as well is going to be important. Well I think they're good defensively Brighton, but it'd be interesting to see whether they introduced, obviously they made some new sandings, it'd be interesting to see if they introduced that, I don't know if they played in last night. Obviously they signed a new left back, but that could be interesting. I think they'll leave it as it is for now, they've got a lot of experience in there. Well I hope they leave marching at left back. Well they've got like some march, like some Pascal Gross, Trossard, Mal Pie, these are experienced Premier League players now. Mal Pie's had a good start this season, obviously scored against Watford. So it's going to be an interesting game, it's going to be an interesting game, hopefully Everton, I'd be disappointed if we got beat by them though, I really would. It's just a game, start the season, it's a little tougher way of game. This is it though, you get out of this one. It's one later in the stage, you'd be expecting to win, but just don't lose. This is one of them where you get out of this, before the window closes, the players are going away on international break. Then you've got Burnley, you've got Norwich at home. So you want, this is the game where you're thinking, just get out of this, get through this, don't leave us on a danna for a couple of weeks, you know, leave us on a bit of a high, and we'll see what happens. So there you go, let us know your thoughts in the comments on this game Brighton. It seems to us to be a tough place to go. We've done OK against them at home, away. We've obviously not picked up a win there in the Premier League. So let us know how you think this one will go, who you'd like to see in the team as well.
