 Hello, welcome to Toffy TV. It is my three things from Everton One, Luton Town Two, Everton are out of the FA Cup at the hands of Luton a disappointing afternoon at Gulswmpark another one really our home form is awful, it's been awful since Shaun Dychecwm in, it's been awful before Shaun Dychecwm in, it's been a problem for a few years the manager needs to keep saying that the manager needs to solve this issue he really does too many teams he's come to Gwlswmp and go away with the victory and that needs to stop. Yeah we were terrible today I think I said before it was one of the worst games of football in terms of quality I've seen for the long years I would say. Both teams were awful today, they really were poor, the quality of them, they're supposed to be two teams at the top tier in English football playing at that and they were, they come passable five yards either of them. The odd player on both teams, well I thought Barclay was very good for them, us we have moments on honour of moments when you look good at the times you give the ball away. It was just a scruffy game and there was three scruffy goals in it so they just sundered up. Everton, Luton hung on in there went for it, got the win it, got the just you know daily wards and good luck to them going forward in the FA Cup without so good luck to them. The first thing I want to speak about today is players not really taking their opportunities when they get in. I'm talking about the likes of Beto who a lot of people have called for me included to be given a run instead of Dominic Llywon at the moment. I don't think Dom isn't looking sharp, he's not pulling up any trees, it's another game without a goal today, doesn't look like he's going to score at the moment. He's not putting himself about enough so I'm being thinking Beto needs to be given a go and I guess I probably wouldn't change, if Everton go back to one striker I'd probably still stick with that for now just to try to refresh Dom, to try to break that cycle and bring him on as a sub but Beto's coming today and not done anything that would have made me a virus pick in the team go. He deserves to come in, he's sharp. What I would say is we don't give him the right service, he's a player that wants balls in behind, he's not done getting me wrong, he's not exactly lightening and looting dealt with some of those very well today. He's a player who's definitely missing someone like Adelaide D'Corey of him and Dominic Llywon will as well at the moment, let's put that into play as well so that is an issue, D'Corey is someone who gets goals, he's also a runner, he can get round and pick the bits up and he breaks into the box. Everton simply don't want to have players who break into the penalty area and I just think Beto today wrestling with people, he was getting me wrong, he was fouled, I think he was the most fouled player in the match but sometimes it was like he wanted to have the wrestling match instead of moving towards the ball. When he gets these chances, he's played the full game, it was worth checking that for 100 minutes if you include the first half today so he's got that under his belt which will do him good but it's touch has got to be better, he's got to protect the ball better, he's got to layer off quicker, you want them to take those opportunities. Saying similar can be said for Nathan Patterson, I had high hopes for Patterson when we bought him, we've had Seamus for so long and he is kind of moving towards the end now isn't he, Ashley Young has come in and played a lot this season when I think the hope was that he was going to be a squad player but he's become an automatic choice at right and left back at times and therefore when Patterson's had this opportunity to get in and have a run, you want him to grab it but he looks like he's caught between the devil and the deep blue sea when he's out there, he doesn't know where to stick or bust, he doesn't know where to bomb on like he does for Scotland and like he did for Rangers or does he just sit and therefore you don't get either version of him, when he sits he's not a great defender, he's a good athlete but he's not a great defender, he doesn't close the player down on the floor. He doesn't get blocks enough, he does do it but not enough when you look at like a really good defender and going forward he seems to put the brakes on instead of getting him behind, if you look at the best attacking fallbacks they get in behind or they put balls in early and they're constantly on the ball, he's always safe and I think that's come from the management team, play safe, play safe and therefore I think it's taking a bit away from what his game was and what I hope this game is going to be. But just as a general rule of thumb and I'm going to use Anna Dan-Gyman as well but he's going to be my second point in a minute but he's another one. These players have got in, you have to grasp it, you have to make it so the manager thinks I can't leave this player out and I don't think any of them have done that. I think once Ashley Young is fit and ready all shame is gone and Nathan Patterson will be back out the side, I think better will be back out the side anyway on Tuesday when I have it and go to full-on so it's frustrating because their players who you're hoping can get in and make a difference, can get in and cement the place but if they're not doing it they're not going to start. The second person I want to talk about is Anna Dan-Gyman and today is a huge indicator I think of the breakdown between him and the manager quite clearly because it's not like you can come out and call a man and say he's working hard and he's unlucky. These are the games he should have been playing in. He should be given the opportunity to put Jack Harrison and Dwight McNeill under pressure. Now he's either not doing it in training and therefore fair play to the manager, he doesn't deserve a start then or the manager just doesn't like him as a player, as a person, as a player but today the likes of today is an opportunity to see what he's got. Now I still believe there's a chance Dan-Gyman will be gone when the deadline shuts on Wednesday night and have it and absolutely have to have a replacement for him and hopefully if he can it's someone who will play more of a role and more he has because he's done nothing. When he's got in it's difficult to criticise Sean, Daito, the coaching staff because when he's got in he's never really performed, come on today and ended up spinning on the pitch for 20 minutes. He had one run and a shot which got blocked. That was it, that was it, a couple of flicks. It's not enough and he's been like that in games when he started and he hasn't started enough games and he could turn and say I wasn't given a fair crack of the whip at everything and a lot of that's true. Someone might say well why weren't you given a fair crack of the whip? Were you doing everything you could to force your way into that team? I don't know what the answer to that would be. But he certainly hasn't pulled up any trees and if he does go before the deadline shuts will anybody really be that bothered that he's left. Whatever absolutely have to do is if they are thinking of replacing them and it seems that way because why would he not start an FA Cup today? Do you have a jingus coming from nowhere to start FA Cup games? Job and Pickford plays every week. Job and Pickford will be in goal of Fulham. It's not like the manager will go, I've got a decision to make. A Fulham will he? It'll be Job and Pickford. So why is Arnaf Danjima starting in an FA Cup home game against Luton? Why has he not given Dwight McNeill a rest or Jack Harrison a rest? And that's what you have to ask yourself. If Everton do decide to let Danjima go then like I said before they have to get someone who's going to make a contribution. Who can start games, who can maybe play off a sliker or is a winger. I want the two positions in all honesty. I want somebody who can play midfield or a bit higher up. Or, and I want a winger as well who's quick and direct. I might be whistle thinking but there you go. What can you say with that? And third and foremost final point is Everton have to get our players back quickly. This is going to be a slog now till the end of the season. Without both cups there's nothing to look forward to on that front. We're not going to win anything. It's another trophy this season for Everton. But it's one that cannot now unravel and put us in trouble. We are in trouble. Luton have got a gaming hand if they win that gaming hand but in the bottom three. We've got an appeal coming up in the next few weeks. We quite simply have to win that appeal and get points back because we're writing it. We're writing it. We need the points to come back. We need to take over to be a decision made on that one way or the other but we need to also have a healthy squad because it is going to be a slog now. We've got one game a week. We've got 17 games I think left and we've got to make sure we win games with football. The club has to be unified. The club has to be pulling in the same direction. Just right now it feels like we are just going nowhere. That's a day. We were at home to Luton in an FA Cup game. 4th round chance to get into the last 16. Godduson should have been bumped on really. And it was quiet. It was quiet. When we scored it went noisy and that's what it really should have been like throughout but people, I don't blame anyone. People are tired. People have been beaten down. Premier League nonsense. Richard Masters' time to do was nonsense. Not making the decision on the takeover. Nonsense. Having no money to bring players in. Nonsense. It's all becoming difficult. Two years relegation battles on their own out on one another because of the league whereas the reality is we've had 27 points. We'd be clear of relegation. We'd only need three or four wins of the last 17 games and we'd be more than safe. And it changes the complexion again. But because of the Premier League and because we're having to go into a courtroom for want of a better word and battle it out, we find ourselves in such a difficult position. We're going after five form quickly. We've got three games that, let's be honest, we could easily lose the next three league games. Fall them away, Spades are home, City are away. Everton could easily lose those terms. It's the same. We will. And sometimes Everton take results up when you look at three fixes and go, we'll get beaten all of them. Sometimes Everton come through them unbeaten, which would be great. But we have to keep chipping away important points on the ball. Every game would feel totally different if we had the 10 points. Now I'm not saying we'll get 10 points back because it's highly unlikely. But that every game would feel so different wouldn't it if we had the 27 points and we haven't got them and we've earned them but we haven't got them. So it is going to be a bit of a slog. We are going off to stick together but we also need our players fit and healthy because we've seen what happens when the squad is stretched. We've got a small squad because we've had to because we've had to cut our cloth accordingly. All of the results are there for the PSR stuff. The lies that have been peddled by journalists that Everton have failed PSR because the ball plays. It's a line that the Premier League have fed, it seems, to these client journalists. This is what it seems like because the facts are out there. The facts are out there that Everton are far from in trouble because of player trading and spending. You look, Everton have got a third bottom in the net spend. 17 other clubs, a PSR for net spend is way above ours. Everton have had a positive PSR for five years run or four years. The last three years for reporting periods, Everton have spent nothing. Prophet is up. One of the best run if you were looking at player trade. The reality of that and the evidence that surrounds that, of course, is that your squad gets decimated and the quality is just dragged right down and that's why I was having to witness some of the displays we're seeing now. The quality has been stripped from this squad. This club is a totally different football club than it was three years ago with Carlo Ancelotti in charge. The players we had, James Rodriguez is up the world with Charlotte and people like this. It's just been decimated and we have to have a brighter future and just right now it doesn't feel like that but we're entering a critical time now. We have to absolutely have to try to stick together and we need our players healthy and we need the Premier League to make a decision on this takeover. Is that happening? Isn't it happening? Make a decision. Stop leaving us in limbo. Diolch yn fawr.
