 Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the instant match reaction for Everton One, Rusyn Biok, nil in the Europa League qualifying round three, leg one a Gwdeithasun Park, full house! It was a full house, no beds, cup height, so trying to wind people up, it was a full house, past that big massive section and the family enclosure and a big part of the way in. Forget about it! What can we say about it, it's a win, we'll take an advantage even though it's a slim one into the second round over there in Slovakia. Strange one really, some of the starting 11 decisions were a bit strange. Martina at right back, played only with the club you know 10 days, bit of a strange one that for me, why not go with John Joe Kenny or Hallgate or Tony Edwards. Just a bit of a strange, I thought yeah a bit of an uncomfortable that Davey let's just say. George Weir's cousin springs to mind. So yeah that was an interesting one for me, I find it very strange that John Joe Kenny is not getting a look in. This may be our Tom Davies of this season, this may be like our little toffee tv crusade and you know we'll win in the end that he probably yeah I would rather see a local like given a chance there's someone who knows that position, bombs up and down than someone who quite frankly I'm not sure if he's even a footballer but hey ho it was only his first game let's not go overboard I'm only joking there's plenty well as the goalkeeping situation was a bit I mean Stechenberg listen made a great save in the second half did okay some of his kicking was a bit wonky maybe that coming to the thinking of the manager Pickford relies doesn't rely but a big part of his game is actually you know his distribution and maybe not having that fitness and maybe a bit of stiffness that kind of thing might have come into the equation. Other other other instance Stonman Carver Llewyn playing on the right again you know weird obviously but you know Sandra didn't start I think that was a big thing again that's fitness you don't want to push your player but this is what people forget as well fitness or lack of fitness leads to stiffness leads to injuries you know that you've got to remember that and Sandra hasn't played much you only played 45 minutes of the weekend um only had a 10 days of training and so so that comes into the manager's thoughts he's not just looking at this game he's looking at the second leg and then he's looking at the Premier League you know 10 days after that all that has to be considered um listen I thought Michael Keane had a great day we thought very steady very very assured he sort of had to be for the first half because actually Williams made some strange decisions in his passing but you know there in that's two of my individuals a classon I thought had a great great start the the interlink between him and Rooney I thought was really well you could really see two players on the same wavelength there um and I think that'll lead to a little bit of joy um but unfortunately Rooney Rooney didn't have exactly the explosive debut you'd want them to have um you could tell that we still massively need the centre forward Sandra might be that man but even with Sandra on the pitch I think it still leaves the the possibility of having that target man up there um I still think we need that um and I still think the manager will try and get that and I still hope that man is is your route um playing wise I thought I thought we started too slow too much passing at the back not really getting having a real test of them far too you know they were never going to come out and play you know they they've they've played five competitive games already and they were never going to come out and play they were going to sit back and try and soak it up and try and nick something with a set piece which they nearly did so it nearly worked um but physically they were never going to tie it you know we were the team that were going to tie it so I just thought that maybe we could have been a little bit more proactive and also a little bit more direct in terms of how we play I'm going to say direct I don't mean just long balls I mean just get the ball get it wide and get it in the box and see what they had the listen the goalkeeper standard eastern european fair wasn't he punched everything flapped at everything but looked like he should be working the doors in town let's be honest he was a monster um so maybe you know maybe we should have tested them a little bit more with some crosses I just thought we tried to be far too into you know intricate in our play and I don't think the fitness is there for that that little extra bit of sharpness that you get by playing games is where you're fine now um you've I think you know look at last season we're in the last season where we didn't have any fitness well we didn't have the fitness necessarily required we won games by bulldozing teams by using the pace of lachargoon ballasi just creating chances and taking them I think that's what we should have been a little bit more tonight we should have just been right at them from the start um and just been very very direct and maybe that's what the maybe what their instructions were and when they got out there they just found that they were so tight and so um you know knitted together that that wasn't going to come but as I say what you've seen from the from the keeper I think we should have been just testing them so much um but position wise mean I think it's like 80 position in the first half that's too much position oddly because I think we should have just been trying to hammer them from the wings but there wasn't that much width and really the four backs didn't really get forward enough for me and Morales yeah and Dominic Arvindle and yeah and that that basically is the top and bottom of things um second half a little bit better they really did pack it in second half they just went yeah they could see that the club were getting frustrated and and we were getting frustrated as a team and just thought we can sit this out and we might just you know even if we can see one they would they would be pretty happy with that we did get a goal after you know just after the hour mark a corner came out of Leighton Bain so you smashed on took a little deflection which just maybe deceived the goalie enough to put it in the back of the net that that took the pressure off but really for the five minutes after that I would like to or 10 minutes even I'd like to really seen us hammer them really pushing at them having to go Sando was on the pitch by then he was making a huge difference he was putting himself about but even Sando he went looking for the ball maybe a little bit too much but maybe if that's the way he plays that's where we can can get another target centre forward you know a real proper centre forward get Sando and Rooney around them and that's the way we can start playing and making a proper 4-3-3 not like we seen last season where it's 4-3 and then a striker and then a winger and then something else we've got to I'd like to see to have a proper 3 forward line um different types of forwards as well you know and Rooney you've got a number 10 in someone like as your age you've got a target man and in Sando you've got someone who's going to pester the defence but also someone who as we've seen today tonight is prepared to shoot from anywhere literally anywhere imagine Sando playing five sides you'd hate him wouldn't you if you were on his team you know you'd just be shooting from everywhere um and then the tempo dropped off for the last 10 minutes you know they had a really good chance from a set piece as I said um with you know really towards the end a big groch at the back came and knocked one down and and the lad really should have got a better connection on it so we were lucky from that they could have had maybe three offset pieces which is going to be something that should need to be worked on for next week um but I just felt the last 10 five minutes was strange it was almost like we were happy with the 1-0 clean sheet got the win and we'll go over there with another week's training um a little bit more fitness and you know if if you think about it like if we go there next week and score they've got to get three haven't they basically so that's probably comes into the thinking don't concede you've got your goal and we'll take that don't risk anything but listen at the top of it it felt like a pre-season match against the team that will come into trying to have you know try and stop us playing we are that was only our fourth match that was their fifth competitive match and I think you've got to remember all these things we also have to try and deal with the fact that last season we probably would have scored earlier because of leccarco that's what leccarco give us and this was our first game of trying different things and people have got to remember that um it's not the best result in the world but it's certainly far from the worst result in the world we just have to go there next week do have a professional performance listen don't concede please don't concede but the most important thing is score score next week and you know we've got a fantastic chance if we score next week and don't go through then uh that's pretty terrible so uh leave your thoughts in the comments uh bas will be coming up with his player ratings keep you out for the the final word as well with me and bas will be dissecting this game a little bit more thank you for watching toffee
