 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Mason Hallrater said last season's 12th position is not good enough and him and the rest of the squad know that and he said the team have already sat down and had a chat and talked over last season and he said we've already spoken about it and accepted that last season wasn't good enough. This season we've definitely got a point to prove. It's down to us now to work hard and prove that now. If you look at the talent in our squad where we finished the season wasn't where we should have been, we all think and believe that. On his own performances he says I think I've got to be pleased with last season from going on loan to the championship to ending up playing most of the games forever until I got injured. It's positive for me but it's what I've wanted to be doing so it couldn't really sit back and look at it too much. I've wanted to play, I've had the chance now and it's down to me to keep getting better and to prove that I can do it season in and season out. Mason Hallgate fantastic last season after being on the bench so much early on but come on and come in and really made that position his own during the season. I think a lot of fans believe he is our best centre back and a lot of fans including myself would like to see Mason Hallgate as the captain now. I watched that into he did with Alan Myers and he was the way talks and the way he represents the club was really, really good. I see him as the face and the future of Everton football clubs so I would really love to see Carl on to let you make a statement and make him captain. The current captain James Coleman lifted the lid on pre-season and he said training is very high intensity and that is what the manager is getting across. Everything must be high intensity working hard and staying with runners. I don't know how this pre-season would be with six weeks. The pre-season is different from other because of the shorter break and the lads come back in better shape than they would have with six weeks off. It doesn't need to be eyeballs out in training but it is very hard than the maximum effort is demanded. You come away knowing you have had a tough session and need to recover for the next day. There is a lot of tactical work and small-sided games. Everything is with the ball but it is as hard as anything you can do without the ball. I'm sure the manager is looking forward to a fresh start and a full season. He's got to know the players and I am sure he will want to add his own. It is exciting time and great to be back. You spoke yesterday about the sand pit that you have installed at Fringe Farm to make Satan Drill tougher for the players. It sounds like Carlo Anciotti is trying to get the players as fit as possible which is fantastic news to hear from Seamus Coleman. Obviously the first game is tomorrow against Blackpool behind closed doors. In other news today, Evan has been linked with Hull forward James Scott, 19-year-old. Obviously Hull got relegated from the championship down to the league once. I'm not sure how big an offer it would take to get a player out of Hull. They've had a lot of financial problems but there's one for you. In other news, Alessandro Forenzi, the Roma player we've been linked with right-sided, right-back, right wing, talks in the Rome press. Evan would need to sell John Joe Kenny first before they tried to bring in the player. He is rated around, or certainly the fee would be around £10-12 million if Evan were to go and try and bring him in long term. So we'll have to wait and see if there's actually anything in that. In other news, the press are saying Evan have been dealt a blow today because Thiago Silva is in advanced talks with Chelsea. I'm not so sure about that. I'm sure that was a rumour that did the rounds about a month or so but I don't really think Evan had too much of a genuine interest in him. It was just a player that obviously is a Parisian man and will probably make his final appearance on Sunday in the Champions League final. They love just saying we've been dealt a blow, don't they, but I'm not sure that's the case. In just general Premier League news, VAR changes or certainly some of the things that's going to happen next season. The ref will consult the monitors more often for goals, penalties and red cards. That's obviously something that last season a lot of fans were wondering why the decisions were being made by the assistant referee or the video referee and not the actual referee. They're going to get to grips with this season coming. On penalties, go-keeper encroachments and player encroachments will be looked at by VAR and will lead to the retaking of the penalty if that happens. Two things again they've been doing in Europe that they haven't been doing in the Premier League, so the VAR. That's going to be an interesting one, how many penalties are going to have to be retaken because of encroachments. It's one of those things, isn't it, that early on you always see new rules and the implementing of them is really heavy to the players to basically lane. They're going to have to lane because if it's VAR it's definitely going to happen, so there's that as well. On the offside, the assistant referee will be asked to keep his flag down on tight calls and it will be looked at obviously after the players, if a player scores or whatever as goals normally do. We've seen that in the Champions League as well in the games that have been happening in the Europa League. The flag will be kept down so not to put off the offending player and not to put that element of doubt in the referee's mind. We saw that ourselves when we played Leicester City and obviously the flag went up in that game and the players all stopped. For the players and for the ref, the flag will be kept down and it will be decided with the VAR, which I think is a sensible thing. Also there's no actual offside changes either, the rules have not been changed so a lot of talk about changing how offside will be looked at because of how tight some of those calls were last season but that's not changing certainly for the season ahead so don't have to worry about that although I think a lot of people do. I think that's got to go to FIFA and be ratified. A lot of talk about the Venga rule with the offside which would be the reverse where it would have to basically be daylight. Any part of your body would be considered onside, which is a rule I'd be in favour of but that's not been discussed yet at your FIFA level. Also the other thing just very finely, obviously TV for next season is apparently just going to show the games that they're supposed to show which is very very disappointing. It will mean that a lot of games will not be shown next season on television and with fans not being able to get into the ground that just doesn't make any sense to me at all. We saw at the end of last season that all the games are televised so we'd be able to see them all. I honestly don't understand why that isn't continuing next season till fans are allowed back in the ground. To have a product that we can't actually watch is just an absolute nonsense. It's not the fans fault that we can't go to the games so that just seems to be an utter farce and hopefully the more people that start looking at that and start complaining about it then maybe that will be changed because I think it's got to be changed hasn't it. The Premier League needs to have emergency powers to be able to show all these games on television till fans are allowed back in the ground so we'll have to wait and see on that one anyway.
