 Welcome to Toffy TV, here is the mat reaction Tottenham Hotspair 2-0 tonight at the Tottenham Hotspair stadium. A disappointing result for Everton tonight, for me just certainly second half just never look like they were going to get into the game at all. Obviously the man has had to make a change from the United defeat with Anthony Gordon being suspended and he decided Dwight McNeill was that change. McNeill came in, he was ok, but Spair started off the better side comfortably straight onto it on the front for control and possession and Everton just couldn't get in the game. It was as simple as that really and when a team is controlling that much possession you do worry that it could be a long night. But Everton, I have to say Everton dealt with it reasonably well that Bratialysen had a header which went over early on and Harry Kane had one moment that he kind of carved out himself and Jordan Pickford had to be smart off his line. But Spair didn't really create anything of note in the first half, there was shots from 35-40 yards out. Other than that there was nothing really from them Everton contained quite well despite them being in control of the possession and dictating the pace of the game. And it was actually Everton who had two unbelievable opportunities in the first half and could have gone in to tune it up and I say that realising that Spair's were on the front foot absolutely. But Everton had two glorious chances, the first one Damari Gray threw on goal, a good bit of play actually by Everton, a good ball from Cody. Gray rolled bent a care, I think it might have been brilliantly and races in on goal and he's got Maupai coming square, maybe could have squared it but if he wasn't going to square it he's got to hit the target. There was a little nudge in his back, I don't think it was enough for a penalty even though he asked for one and he blazed the ball over Larissa's crossbar. And then we had another moment with Amadou O'nana breaking through to Spair's plays, got themselves in a bit of a muddle and O'nana broke through, cleaned through on goal and you're thinking just hit the target, got to hit the target and the ball does sit up a little bit but he just blazes it over the bar and you think if Spair's would have had those two opportunities it'd have been too nil but it wasn't and we went in at nil nil. And you asked then sitting on those chances thinking they were big moments in the game, if Everton could have gone in front who knows. Come out for the second half it was more of the same, Spair's on the front foot again without really doing too much. Harry Kane had a half folly which Jordan Pickford made a good save from, it looked like he may well have been offside but the flag didn't go up, he made a good save and Son blazed the ball over the bar. Son then had the opportunity but it's a shoulder and Pickford collected. And although Spair's were dictating that play like I said and were pushing, they weren't really carving out any clear opportunities and then we make a mistake and were one nil down and that come from a shot from it might have been Doherty which Jordan Pickford in my opinion has got to keep hold of. It's a goalkeeping error, Doherty hits it, Pickford spills it, Harry Kane is on it like a flash, goes down a little bit easier if I'm being honest, it was a soft penalty but let's put it that way. I think Spair's would have been unhappy if it had been at the other end but he did go into Pickford and the referee awarded the penalty and there's no when Harry Kane is taking a penalty there's never really any doubters there and he smashed the ball beyond Pickford. And from that moment, as an Evertonian, you just felt like that was it, it was done because it was almost we needed to get the first goal. We offered nothing in the second half and I have to say that we offered absolutely nothing going forward. At least the first half, he stuck to the plan, he made it difficult. I thought overall until kind of like the last five or ten minutes, I thought we defended really well overall. Like you said, Spair's didn't really have anything of note but we just offered nothing in that second half and it wasn't good enough as far as I'm concerned from a track and perspective. Got to be able to get shot away in the Premier League, you've got to be able to carve teams open, you've got to be a little bit more than just someone who knocks the ball from side to side. And we have opportunities, players don't make the right decision to marry Grey holding on to the ball far too long at times. You know, how are you going to score a goal if you don't put pressure on the opposition? Spair's broken, got a second, Alex Oboby, I think he's got to do better, quite simply. Michael Enco's too slow to react to a poor Harry Kane touch on the half way line. It comes out, the ball's put in, Oboby stands off, hoi beg, instead of getting right on him, right on him, make it difficult, stands off him. He takes a big deflection off Oboby, loops over Pickford and it's game over. But from an evident attack on perspective, that second half was not good enough. The answers don't lie within the club, that's the crux of it. We've improved, we're a lot more organised, we're defensively quite solid, the midfield's a lot better. But we don't carry a threat going forward and it's as simple as that, we really don't. The answers to it lie outside the football club, they lie with the recruitment, they lie with needing at least one in January but probably two. It was great to see Dominic Alvalun get a bit more time tonight, still not sharp, you can see that. We didn't really give him anything to go at, McNeil put one crossing for him. James Garner cwm ontyn a bit more of him, he did okay, put a tremendous ball in which Liddy's dealt with well. But like I've just said, the answers lie outside the football club and that's where everything needs to get some results out over the next few weeks, get some wins and it'll be tough because there's just not a lot of goals in this team. And then we have to go and spend some money in January and try and look for players who have got goals in them to come in and help this team. Cos it's solid and it's competitive, but without goals in it, you'll always be on the wrong side of results, especially when you're passing up guilty edge opportunities. So I've got no complaints with the better side, but we did, you do look back and think there were two huge moments in that first half. We were beaten through and that's the way it is, we have to move on from it. Man of the match, Tarkoski, thought he kept going all night. There you go, that's my thought, thank you very much for watching, see you later.
