 Welcome to Toffy TV, here is the matter of action Tottenham Hotspot 2, Everton 1, Everton lose for the first time in five games. Yeah, we've been made to play really for some awful defending in the opening 20 minutes of the game and that's really what's cost Everton today. I think you just can't defend the way we did. You know, space scored two, Brennan Johnson should have scored easier chance than either of the two goals really and he put it over. We just looked at sixes and sevens. I think Michel Enco was all over the place for the opening 20 minutes and after that he went on to have a good game. But you just can't start Premier League games the way we did at the back and expect to get anything against a team that is blessed with the attack and talent space. The manager brought Michel Enco back in, went back to a back four with Paterson a right back, Tarky Brantuit and Michel Enco. Left back in midfield at Garnay, Oun Arnay, Nidrissa Garnay. Gage ac arosn of the right, McNeil of the left and Dominic Alvedlin through the middle. The absence of Adelaide Acore is a huge problem for Sean Dyche and Evan. We saw this last season when he was out, we struggled to get to grips with it. We saw it against Fulham the other night at Goddus, and of course we didn't really know how to cope without him. We just couldn't get any kind of fluid as he was going. But today, I don't think it was that today. I think, like you said, the defending. Evan actually started quite brightly today, got on the ball, jipped it about a little bit. Dominic Alvedlin in Dwight McNeil done brilliantly. Slyd Dominic Alvedlin in, and his face touch isn't good enough, but he still should have enough time to get a shot at maybe his left foot, and he hesitates. And I think it's a mirror, that gets back, but there are those moments that you get in again where top strikers finish it. Dom just isn't playing well at the moment, and therefore the goal is looking smaller, and he wants things right in front of him. If he did just pull a trigger, he knows what would have happened. But a couple of minutes later, Spears went down the other end and took the lead. And like you said before, Brennan Johnson, excuse me, had too much space, and he got in behind Michelin Coach. Slyd did a cross on the tiarlas on the sidefoot of the past Jordan Pickford, with an easy finish to give Spears the lead. We then got back on the ball, waked the ball wide, and the cross coming in from the left-hand side, Dominic Alvedlin, doing again with a header this time, which the Vigario, the keeper, makes the save from. And then Everton gave another cheap goal away. Just before Dom almost equalised it, like I said before, Brennan Johnson's put one over the bar, which looked easier to score, really, than what he did. But Spears did get a corner, the ball come out, and eventually it's in front of him. You just can't leave players on their own away, we did. We'd had a warning in the opening 40 seconds when Tottenham kicked off and got in round the back and across to the edge of the box, which was volleyed straight at Jordan Pickford. And we just, in that opening 20 minutes, we were just leaving too many gaps, and they were exploiting it. And we were 2-0 down, the sun's goal, it's 2-0, and John Dyche will have been furious, I imagine, on the line, the way we were defending because it looked like at that stage they could go on and be 3, 4, 5, 6, because Everton were just all over the place. And yet the iron he was, we were nicking the ball off then, high up the pitch and looking dangerous at the other end. We've had three or four chances towards the end of the first half, which could have gone in. I mean, we've got to talk about a great little move that comes from Michel Enco, and as he comes running in there's another ball on the pitch, which he kicks the ball against. I mean, what's that all about? And Spades get the ball back, because that, well, hasn't basically doesn't understand the rules anyway, which he proved on numerous occasions today. You know, there was that, the carry on my, the good save my team's going to strike. We had things flashing across the goal, don't want to call the loon on us getting on the end of stuff. And, you know, we finished the first half with 9 attempts at goal, and I imagine John Dyche would have been saying, that you know that there are times, you know, have we not gone on the score sheet here? Because we've had, you know, easily as good a chance as as them, if not better. In that first half, I didn't mention that André Gomez came on for a drink of Garnagay, and I thought he did really well. He moved what John Dyche did was drop James Garnag back a little bit and push André Gomez higher, and Gomez got into the game, started playing some lovely little through balls, and he carried that on in the second half, and he grew more and more into the game, and he was playing a little bit. It's interesting to see because this is a player who's been injured all season, basically. His contract's up next summer. I don't see any way ever to extend it, and there's a lot of talk he'd be going up the door in January. But he's put in a really good cameo today, and I imagine John Dyche will want to use him in that kind of role against Manchester City as well, up against top quality players. You need someone who can take the ball under pressure, and that's what Gomez can do. And he got us playing a little bit. He had a chance early on in the second half with his left foot when past the defender and smashed it into the side netting, and he was the one prompting and probing, trying to get people in. He'd had one in the first half when he'd nicked the ball and he tried to slide down on the culvert looni, but he grew more and more into it in the second half, and everything did four spares back. They were always the threat on the break and they were always the threat. So we did have to be wary of that, but we thought we'd got ourselves back into it when it's Andre Gomez goes and the dispossessor to the defender, Emerson Royall, and slides it through to the dominant culvert looni. He sweeps it in, really well taken strike. But when you see the replay, you're thinking that's going to be this or that. When you realise that it's Michael Oliver on VAR, then it's definitely going to, the referee's definitely getting sent to the screen if everything they're involved in it with Michael Oliver. That's what happened, and we knew that it was sent out. Just being told that's not going to be a wonder. And once the referee goes over to the sheen, you do see it, it is a foul. It might be a soft one, but it's a foul, he kicks him. And that was a little bit disappointing, obviously, because that would have grabbed us back in the game. But you know what the players, they keep going. They keep plugging away at it. Beto came onto the pitch, and Dan Duma came onto the pitch, and we had more opportunities, particularly Dan Duma. Had two or three really good opportunities. One, he's sent through, he's got to, I think he's got a score. The goalkeeper makes a good save from him. He put another one over when he's definitely got to hit the target, at least. And then we had the Dan Duma moment at the end, but everything did get a goal back off a corner. Tottenham, I can conceded the goal all season off corners. We score with the first team to do it. Ball comes in, it comes out to André Gomez, and he smashes it into the back of the net with the Chris Finn. It's a really good strike with something like nine minutes to go, and that gave it a bit of a lifeline. You know, to be fair to them, they're plugging away the whole half-space. We're hanging on a little bit, and just after we scored, we get a corner to Dan Duma, when he runs through him, the keeper saves it from that resultant corner. Tarkovsky has won, cleared off the line. We've had one start again, coming in right on the back, players just kicking it anyway, defenders kicking it anyway before everything can get an equaliser. And then we had the moment where you're hoping for one more opportunity in that six-minute injury time, and we got it. I think it's Dwight McNeill put the ball in, and Dan Duma is onside at the far post, hits it with almost his heel, but it hits the underside of the bar and drops down, and it hits the goalies thigh and stays out. I'm glad you're about that much. If the goalkeeper wasn't there, or there'd been a bit further over it, it would have come down and gone over the line. It's the angle it drops and drops in front of him, and he's able to smuggle it away, and that was it. It was done. Frustrating. We couldn't get that goal, and frustrating that we started so poorly defensively, and we really did. A few players below the best today, but I'll be honest, I could see that coming in the Fulham game. You could see a lot of them running on MTV, but the one thing that this team is doing now, and I think the fans, the travelling fans, will massively have appreciated as well, is that they didn't throw the towel on the in. We kept going right to the end. There's a lack of quality in this evidence side, but there is not a lack of endeavour, and a lack of willingness to fight for this year. And listen, on other days, we may well get over the line with that kind of endeavour and that kind of durability staying in the game. It hasn't worked today. We've lost it to one. It's frustrating, of course. There's a couple of other bad results, but we're going to have that through the season. We've just got to relax. We're miles better, no suicides anyway. And we should have got something out of this trip to Spears, which is never, ever a happy place for Evan to go. Unfortunately, but today we've just come up a little bit short. Man o'r math, I'm going to give it to Andre Gomez. Very surprising to say that. Not sure I ever thought I'd be saying that again. But I'm in an evidence shape where I thought he'd come on and affected the game today really well and kept going, scored a good goal, created opportunities for us, so he is my Evan man o'r math. That is it from me. Give the video a thumbs up. Subscribe if you haven't. Thanks very much for watching and have a lovely Christmas. See you later.
