 Welcome to Toffey TV, it is my three talking points. Manchester City won, Everton won at the Etihad today, a like I said on the other video, a new year miracle it is, Everton getting a huge huge point at the Etihad. It's a tremendous point, a very very unexpected point and I'm sure Frank Llanpath is absolutely delighted, I've not heard his aftermath interview just yet but that today was a brilliant result for him and a brilliant result for Everton against obviously the lead champions and a team that I think will win the league again this season, they're a fantastic side. First thing I want to talk about is the transfer window which is coming up and obviously overnight we'd seen the news that Ella Sims was recalled by Everton into back to Finch Farm, Frank Llanpath to assess. This one's got me a little bit perplexed by people's reactions to it because I know a lot of people are being going on as to why we allowed them out the door and now people are moaning that Everton are actually taking them back to have a look at. Now I get it if people are thinking well he's what the club define as the answer to our problems. I don't quite think it that, I think Everton is saying listen we need as many options as physically possible in the final third because we just don't have goals in us and I think that's really more what Ella Sims will provide. He's got seven goals in 17 appearances in the championships so far for Sunderland so well on course to hit double figures there. Everton had already been linked with players who were in the championship who don't have as good a minute to goal ratio if you like as what Ella Sims has got so I think it makes sense for Everton to assess that situation. He's obviously a big tall striker Neil Malpite isn't so it gives us another option Rondon's gone out the door. I think Tom Cannon will be allowed to leave on loan. Sheffield Wednesday very interested in taking him on loan for the rest of the season and that will be good for his development so to me it makes sense but that can't be the only business Everton do and I'm sure it won't be but Everton needs to be ready to go with. We need to be all over this now and that is going the minute that window opens hitting the window and being ready to go with it and I think by doing that I think they can get themselves out of trouble but if they don't and they're relying on Dominic Albert Lewenstein for it and they're relying on Ella Sims's goals then they could wait being in a lot of trouble. There's options out there we can get, we need a creative player for me, we need a winger who has got goals in them and obviously for me we need another centre forward and there are options out there. The money may well be tight but Everton can do their own planer or gamble by selling someone by the 30th of June so it's in a different tact here again which is what we saw last year at Bratialison and in all fairness that might be the way to go in terms of guaranteeing your status. If Everton were to get relegated then that would be, it's unthinkable but it would be a catastrophic effect on the budget and everything else on the income so you've got to protect that by staying in the Premier League and Everton may well have to do that by almost gambling on selling a player. If Everton were to get relegated last year we may well have to do it this year but they have to get into the market, it opens tomorrow and they have to be ready to go as soon as possible. Ella Sims will add to the options and I don't think that's a bad thing but it can't be the only thing we're hanging out on. Second thing I want to talk about today is Damari Gray. He scored a tremendous goal, he's given people a little bit of a reminder of the quality that he does have and he does possess that quality. We've seen him score good goals before, he's the one who carries the threat to the opposition, he's pacey, he's not in a game enough, sometimes he doesn't work hard enough but I don't think that was today, I think he worked really hard today certainly after his goal. I think that the frustration with Damari Gray is how do we get more of that quality out, how do we get that quality out of him on a regular basis. He's got to get in the games more sometimes, even today as he was playing off Dominic Alvertlew and he's got to be the one that picks the ball up and drives, he did a better second half, he has to do it on a regular basis but the quality is there with him again just going back to what we've just been saying about the transfer market. 1.5 million shows you that there is players out there that can come in and have an impact and he's being really good value at 1.5 million. Yes, he's frustrating and I understand people's frustrations with him but I just think that there is that quality in there, can we tease that out of him more? I don't know, he's 26 but it's undoubtedly in his locker, he can go by people. And again with the goal today he's proved, he's scored some good goals for Everton since signing last summer. Even this season Gray faced touch for his goal against Forrest, lovely goal of Bournemouth in the Cups, tremendous goal today he scored the winner and Fleetwood as well didn't he? So it's his fourth goal of the season, we've got to get him into more advanced positions, he's got to pull a trick a little bit more, get added a box, put inside, have shots as well but he has got a bit of quality about him and if he works hard like he did for the last half an hour and he can have a few more goals then he is, he's a really, for us he's an important player because we don't really have too many of those kind of players but he deserved a little mention today because he did quite well. And finally, I'm just wondering what the manager's formation today is, that's something that may work, certainly in the short term obviously, we had Connor Coal, he fit again today, we had James Tarkovsky in there and Ben Godfrey who came on against Wolves the other day. Now he's gone off towards the end of the game, I'm thinking with a bit of cramp, he went on that long sprint, I don't want to interrupt you to read too much by mentioning the cramp word but I think he went off with cramp, I hope he did. And I just wonder if Everton and Frank Llanpad would think about going on to that almost 5-3-3 formation or 3-5-3 formation, three more field players and then Dominic Calvert-Lewan and maybe Damari Gray just off him for now, while he's trying to solve attacking options in other areas, then that obviously means the likes of Anthony Gordon and Dwight McNeill, maybe Neil Mawpide, they just become subs on options off the bench but Everton, it allows Everton to stay complete. He's competitive in the middle of the park, it allows Patterson to play a bit higher in Michelinco, gives us the insurance with the pace at the back and it gives someone Dominic Calvert-Lewan a partner or a target to hit if he's flicking things on. And then obviously with bringing Ellis Sims back, he's a big lad as well and he could then drop him maybe alongside Dom or if the looking after Dominic Calvert-Lewan and saying it's around the 70-75th minute mark when we want to take him off, then you've got another big strong striker that's coming on as well. I was just wondering if Frank Lamp had made just for now, considered going with that. This is what he did towards the back end of last season and it got us safe. We weren't on a great run. Before today we've got a really good point, now can we follow up with a game against Brighton, an important game on Tuesday night at Gouldersons. I was just wondering if the manager will maybe look to go that way with the three centre backs that added insurance and then give someone around Dominic Calvert-Lewan and then get someone breaking from midfield. Certainly in the short term while the looking are bringing in more options in those attacking areas. Let me know what you think in the comments section below. That is it for me.
