 Welcome to Toffey TV, it is my three things, Everton 2, Norwich City nil today in the Premier League at Gwladyswn Park. Good win for Everton, not the greatest performance in the world by the Blues, but a win and that really is all that matters at the moment. Obviously missing key players and winning football games is never to be scoffed at three wins out of three for Rafa Benitez at Gwladyswn Park this season. First thing I want to talk about is Ben Goffrey, who was absolutely superb for us last season. He's had a slow starter this season, obviously Covid and stuff like that has really halted his progress and he still looks to be suffering a little bit from the effects. If that doesn't look up to speed, doesn't look the same, the same Ben Goffrey that we saw last season, definitely not. The reason I want to talk about him is there's a little fear that I have that unless we nail him down to a position, he's going to turn into a utility player. And while that isn't the worst thing in the world, I think we want to get him bedded in to his proper position, which is for me going to be a centre back and should be alongside Jeri Mina. I know it's difficult at the minute because obviously he is trying to play his way through this spell, trying to get up to sharpness, but he just doesn't look like a right back. I think he looks more comfortable left back because I think he just realises that his job is to stop the opposition wide player. Whereas I think on the right hand side, he's expected almost to get up and support the attack and I think he doesn't do that as much on the left, but obviously we want to look at the end there. But I'd just like to see him nail down that centre back position alongside Jeri Mina and I really hope that he's able to do that soon. I think with Mina's power and his head and aerial ability, it's just this natural defending that he likes to do. I think having the pace alongside him at Goffrey is, as far as I'm concerned, evidence best partnership. But I just don't want him his development to be stunted because we're using him in three or four different positions because he can play there. So, hopefully soon we get to see him alongside Jeri Mina in his natural position and let's see if he can develop there with Rafael Benitez, giving him instruction on the other members of the coaching side. Because for me he's definitely not a right back. The second thing I'm going to talk about today is the mentality of the squad, which was questioned last season on numerous occasions. I don't think so far this season there's been any evidence that the mentality of this squad isn't what it should be, if that makes sense. I'm not, it's very early and this might be a totally different conversation in January and February. But I've just been impressed by the way the squad has got down to work. I think having the fans there makes a huge difference. I think the fans today, Goulderson, didn't get overanxious and that made it easier for the team to stick with what they were doing and get the three points. But last season we saw at times they didn't look arsed and that might have simply been, there was no fans in the ground. I don't know, but I like the way there seems to be tempo setters, there seems to be people who are able to get others going. Andross Townsend being one of them, Adelaide Decorey being another. We'll talk about him a little bit more in a minute, but certainly the likes of Townsend, he sets the tone I think. I think that's why if Ben Godfrey can get up to speed because I think he did do that at times last season with performances. I think the more of those you've got in your side, the better. And obviously Retialison is one who works incredibly hard when he's in the side as well. So I think I've been impressed by the fact we've been able to manage things that have happened at the moment. You know, and let's be honest about it, for 10 minutes I feel it, things were mad. But other than that, it was a tight game, we were well in that game. You know, barely, yes, you can say it was us against barely, but we stayed in, even going behind, we hung in there and did well. Today's the first time we've gone ahead at home this season. You know, we've had to come from behind twice to win the previous two home games. So I'm impressed with the way the squad does seem to be a togetherness in that squad and a willingness to work hard, but the caveat to that is it is, it really does. You know, and we'll have to see whether they can carry that on. But if they can carry it on, then it could be a decent season forever. It still needs to add in the January transfer window, the squad needs padding out. There's no question about that, but it's good to see them get a key victory today. The third thing I want to talk about and finish on is Abdelhaid Y Cori, who was brilliant again today. My man of the match in the game, I think was seeing the player we bought from Wafford, was seeing the reason why I haven't pursued him for a couple of seasons. We didn't get to see it last season enough because he was too busy having to look after Hamers, Rodríguez, his area and doing other people's jobs as well. I think the manager was very, wanted them to kind of stay. I always remember the game against Newcastle a while last season when we lost in October on November. It was, we'd lost at Southampton a week before. And the Cori loads of times in that game was the deepest player. He was back and Rodríguez, the thing with that was Hamers wasn't even playing that game. And the manager had him off-corn as he was one of the three that he kept back. And I just remember thinking he's won, he should be breaking into the box for us. And we've seen that from Benitez so far and it allowed him to play with the freedom. He is everywhere, he's got boundless energy. He puts fires out everywhere, but he links the player as well. Okay, sometimes passing is a little bit astray or it touches a little bit heavy, but just the ability to get into the box and score goals. The second goal today is brilliant, makes himself available, makes a great run, stays it beyond the keeper to give us the three points. He's been magnificent for me and long made that continue. I think him and Alan are a really good partnership and Alan's been brilliant as well this season. It's almost as if they're just being allowed to play the game that they want to play and then that is natural to them. I was watching the second half, I was watching my natney Gordon come on. And I think the biggest thing this manager's given the team is a structure. I was watching Gordon because he was over on my side by the Bullens, out of possession. He was in shape, he was trying to help the fall back out because obviously he'd come on for times and didn't even know he had to do that job. And I think it's really good that players are keeping that structure. Even Tom Davies was on for five or ten minutes, worked his socks off, made sure he was where the manager had asked him to go. Lewis Dobbin did it on the other side. And I think that really helps, but the ones who were benefiting from it are the likes of the Coray and Alan. And I just thought the Coray for me today was absolutely superb. And if he can get himself into six or seven goals maybe for the season, then it'll be a matter of help to this team, especially now. You know, we were missing our chief goalscorer in Dominic Alvidlun and Richard Ellison at the moment. So you need those players to come up with goals, tans ends coming up big with the goals for us at the moment, albeit today was a penalty, but he still had the assist. Tom Ari Gray's got three goals already this season, so he's doing well. I think Meiner and Keane need to start chipping in. They're both big lads. They need to be getting on the end. I mean, our corners weren't great today, but they need to be getting on the end of them. And if the squad does that, then we'll be sound this season for goals. But the Coray's a big, big one in that. And when you see his natural game and the way he strides around and gets into the box, I think he can be huge for us this season. So I just felt like he needed singling out today because he was marvelous. So there you go. I've waffled on enough. There my three things. Let me know what you think in the comments section below.
