 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview of Everton vs Crystal Palace. Another huge, huge game, huge, stressful game of football at Goddison Park. We once again, Everton have a chance to secure Premier League football for next season with obviously a win. Just win, just win Everton, please, just win. Obviously listen, it will be a tough game, Palace had a decent season, you know, got some decent players. But I think once again, it's all about Everton isn't it, and how we approach the game, and how we are organised and obviously it's going to be a big, big night. It is, it's a huge game, which we have been saying, the final home game of the season. We were all hoping for a bit on Sunday that it would be a chill to fair this one, but it isn't. So, you know, we're up against the good side, they've beaten us twice this season, but it's all on us now. It's, you know, where the ones who need the points, they are comfortably mid-table, you know, they're in 13th, but they've had a good season in terms of Patrick Vieira coming through over a difficult time. A lot of players had a contract and he's really energised them and got them playing some nice football and going a different way. I think he's really enthused their supporters and for us, from our perspective, things have picked up lately and, you know, we all wanted this opportunity to have a home game to decide our fate. That's what we were asking for. We couldn't get over the line on Sunday, that was due to poor referee and decisions more than anything else. This time, we've got to just put all that on one side and go out and give it everything and hopefully at the end of the night, the match will be enough. Yeah, I think for, you know, as you mentioned there, Palace have done well this season, they're away, they're not brilliant, but we, you know, a couple of last few weeks, you know, they've got a win at Southampton, and obviously they drew with Villarit at the weekend, but obviously that's two teams we've really gone on to play for. And as you mentioned there, I think for us, I think we have to approach it the same way we've approached all the home games. You know, I think hopefully Michael Keane will be back, fingers crossed he'll be back. Go back to that, you know, what we've been playing with the three centre backs and the two wing backs. And again, just trying to get defensively solid and just trying to open them up with a bit of energy. And like we did on Sunday, I imagine Dominic Alun will play again. We've got the option of going long. And I'm like you, I think on Sunday, if it's 11 vs 11 or even 10 vs 10, we win that game of football. And you've just got to be of the same. Listen, it's going to be, it is going to be a navy affair. They've obviously got nothing to play for, and there's always that thing of well, there'll be a lot more relaxed. It's up to our players to be, to calm everyone down in the stadium. I think the way we, as I mentioned, I think the way we approached the game on Sunday, we looked fairly relaxed with the game plan. We didn't get sucked into the hype of the game. You know, that's on the fans, what the fans did before the game and obviously the atmosphere within the ground. I think the players got caught up in that too much. It wasn't like they went mental for that first 20 minutes. I thought it was very calm and collected and we got, we took our chance. And I think that we have to be the same in this. I don't think, I don't think you have to make it more than it needs to be. It's a game where we need to get the three points. And I think by being gunkhow and frantic, because I think that's what happens if you start the game too gunkhow, you become frantic and you forget what you're trying to do and you forget what the game plan is. There's an opportunity if we do the right things on Thursday to get three points. And I don't think it needs to be, I don't think we need to go out of our way to make it too much of a cup fan. Leave that to the fans of course, as the fans we want it to be as loud and to put as much pressure as we can on the Crystal Palace players. But I think players don't need to be over hyped about the situation. Yeah, I mean, you know, we did, we did seem to follow a game plan and we have done recently. We've kind of stuck to that certainly since the Crystal Palace game last time in the FA Cup when he bounced us and we've got to do more of the same on Thursday. But we do have to, we have to give everything because this is a huge opportunity to win your final on game and achieve the safety that we're all craving. You know, we go to Arsenal on Sunday and that'll be a tough game. You don't want to go into that final day when anything can happen, needing something. And therefore, everything's just going to make sure they get after them and keep it defensively tight, which we didn't do the weekend. Michael Keane will make a difference at the back in terms of that. Well, obviously, after watch, Esi, and Zaha, they were always a threat and then all his shares well from the bench on the bench or whether he starts another good player. So Conor Gallag is another one. They've got good players Crystal Palace, you know, and they've beaten us twice this season. So it's up to us to make sure it's not three times and whether or not, you know, players subconsciously just drop a little bit because of what's at stake. We've got to take every advantage we can on that. That intensity and that need for a victory needs to come from us and the supporters. And if we do that, then they're beatable. You know, they are a good tribe, but they've only won 10 games. The same as Evan. Only the exact same we won two games is us. So you obviously lost a lot less. Yeah, they've drawn a hell of a lot, which shows what kind of team they are, doesn't it? Tough to beat, but just sometimes can't get over the line. And it's interesting, isn't it? Because you convert some of those draws into wins and you're much higher in the table, but you convert those draws into defeats. Then you're where we are. And it does show you the importance of not losing games sometimes. And that's where Palace have been a bit more resolute this season. After this summer, obviously losing players bring a new manager in, losing, I think they lost the first three, didn't they, as well? So they've done well. And it is going to be a tough game, but I think for us, it's our last home game this season. It's about sticking to the plan. Obviously, one of the factors is we are sort of running out of players as well. That's another factor. You know, obviously, we've ran through it, obviously knocking me a veil. Rondon's not an option to come off the bench. So you may be relying on, it sounds mad, relying on Deli to come on and do something, or relying on a Tom Davis or, you know, if the Marey Grey doesn't start with any of these kind of players. But that's what, it's going to have to be all hands to the pump. I think that's why it has to be, you know, a conscious effort over 90 minutes to stick to the game plan. I think what Frank Gampard has done with his coaches is, I think he's set us up quite well recently against teams. I'm not, still not 100% sure about his actual in-game management, but I think he does set us well up well before games. It's just obviously at the weekend it's that one thing that can upset that. And we have to make sure that we don't, you know, we keep our heads as well. And nothing, we try not to do anything stupid because it just shows and ultimately someone said to you, three points against Crystal Palace, you know, can be the difference then I think. If that was what someone would give you before the season, I think you'd bite their hand off for it. Not before the season. But obviously, you don't want to be going into the last game, that's for sure. It is what it is and it's just going to, it's just, I just want to get it over and done with. The game can't come quick enough, but it just needs to be over. I think every Evertonian is just stressed up by that. Everyone's on the knees, we all need a break. We all need to be able to have a good night's sleep away from Everton. If you're out having some worry about that thing, you wake up and you're like, it's in your head, it's the first thing you think of in the morning. You know, what's frustrating is we could have avoided this had Sunday just played out 11-11. At least then, we could have gone, well, it's our fault that we didn't get it done over anywhere. The way it played out in the decision it's going against us, not the red cards, the red cards, but one of the red cards doesn't happen if the penalty happens before it and Brentford should have been down to 10 then as well. But it happened and we can't go back and change it, so we've got this one. These are 13, they're coming to go. You've got to beat the 13th place team in the Premier League to stay up. At home, we'd have all gone, we'll have it, we'll fancy our chances, then give us that then, we'll have a go with it. Throw it up to Everton now, like you said, it'll be tough, but we could have had Manchester City away. Of course we could have had, and of course you can go back to the weekend, but let's be honest, this is a game, we are where we are because of the whole season. Not because of a cut, listen, we all know referee decisions have played their part as well, but if you go back to January, no-one's blaming referees, they're blaming fairly squarely on Rafa Benitez, the board, Marcel Brands, not sacking Rafa Benitez, waiting two weeks after the attack, chasing after Roberto Martínez, chasing after somebody else. The players have been a disgrace this season as well. You've got to remember all these factors, it's not just on what happened on Sunday, but we can go through that all at the end of the season because there are loads of factors to why we are where we are, but I'll tell you what, if you'd said to me after the barely game that you'd be going into this game looking for three points, then probably with a bit your hand off considering some of the teams we had to play and the way it was all playing out. So it's a big chance, and as I said, the fans will play their part, the fans will be there, the fans will be outside the ground, inside the ground, and I'm just hoping if everything can start the way we started on Sunday, that carries them through, because I don't think there'll be a lull in the game, I think there'll be a lot of nervous energy, a lot of tension, but if we can convert that into noise positive for us, negative for Palace, I think that can play its part massively, and at least then we can all say we've done our bit in trying to push everything over the line, and hopefully it's a positive thing, because I can't even think of the alternative, and obviously we have got a game at the weekend, we know we've got a game against Arsenal, and I'm just absolutely praying that that game is just a nothing game, it just means nothing, because that would be absolutely lovely, a lot being said about the game on Sunday, we'll come to that when we come to it, but it should be lovely if it meant nothing that game, it meant absolutely nothing for both sides, and Arsenal don't want it to mean nothing, but it could play out very much like it means nothing for both sides, and I really hope we already know that by Sunday, because it would be absolutely wonderful going into a weekend for the first time in a long time, and you're just like, sad. It's such a rush, it's in our hands to do that, isn't it? We were on Thursday, that's it, you know, everyone can breathe, and we can go to Arsenal and demand that you can use different plays and give some people a run out, you know, people like Delhi maybe get a start, maybe reach Welsh or something like that, you know? Do you think, let me just ask you this, do you think if the game is tight late on, do you think we throw everything at it to get the victory? Yeah, because Burnley are what two points behind us, but the goal difference, they're still two goals better, isn't it? No, we're better, are we better at me? Are they better? They're two goals better, I think. Yeah, we're minus 20, they're 18, so two goals, so yeah, we have to, because a draw, if they win and we win to lose, they still finish above us, so yeah, I do. I mean, Leeds, there's a point, going from one point to two point doesn't change anything, because that goal difference is miles better than Leeds, so if we got a draw against Palace and then lost on Sunday and Leeds won, they'd be above us anyway, so yeah, we've literally go hell for Leather because a point doesn't do anything against the other two teams. You know, had we drawn Sunday, then yeah, that extra point wouldn't have meant we'd just got a point, we'd be alright, and that's not going to be the case now, so I think that has got to be the option, so I mean, I hope Palace just turn up with the flip-flops on, and they can go on Banshee night at four mil on Sunday and have a great day, but I hope they come and it just means a little bit more to us and they just maybe take the foot off the pedal and never take the chances when they come along and we get the win, but absolutely, if you talk on last 15 and it's 1-1 or something, then go for it because, like I said, the point doesn't really change much. You know, we'd have to go to Arsenal and get something and I know people might say, yeah, but if we go to Arsenal, then get a draw. Then, but barely a still, you know. Let's have a little look at how Palace lined up the last game against Villa in the 1-1 draw. Now they went to, they did go to five at the back at the weekend. And Tiruch Mittil is the wing box, yeah? Do you... Can you see them continuing that this weekend? This weekend, if so, do you think that... that... we have to... does that dictate how do we play or do we stick with five at the back as well? Yeah, I mean, they've got a lot of cruelty. Coyati, cruelty. Coyati Anderson and Gate has the centre back. So, he's a player like him, and he's in the field. So it can switch it with three, four, three times as well as going on the outside. But... And on out, Frank Lampard's gone with three at the back. And we've kind of used that most games recently and I don't... I thought Wafford might have been one when he changed, but he didn't. So I'm not convinced he'll change it for sure. I think he'll come back in and it'll be Holgate Coleman and Keane now. He mad at the back there and Michael Ang Cohen, dych chi'n ddim yn ymwneud ddim yn ei ddechrau. Yn hyn yn hun ar draws, mae wedi amddangos eu edryd o ddysgu i fy y llan, mae'r ddetchau ei angh Frankie, y tro, dwi'n ddigon. Mae'r ddechreu ar gyfer oedd mor bwau i'r ddysgu i axion i ddigon aelodau, ydych yn ddigon lle, eich digon, dwi'n ddigon i l formulatione ac mae eich ddigon i'n ddigon i'n ddigon i'n digon i'n ddigon i'n ddigon i'n ddigon i ddigon i'n ddigon i ddigon i ddigon i ddigon i ddigon. Hefyd,think it-? For all is we'll keep on what we've been doing, keep back continuity because it's been working, we've got results out of it ultimately. And obviously at the weekend with obviously Michael king not being available on what we had to switch up to. Now wasn't just the fact that we lost a centre back, we didn't have another centre back to play somewhere, then it all played its part. Let's look at kind of Gavagur's numbers obviously being massively impressive this season. 32 y parancers, 32 stats, eight goals and three assists. Average is 1.6 shots per game. He's been in sensational form for Christopher Palace all season. Everton, obviously, willing for him in the summer Palace had moved very quickly to get him done. And he's been brilliant for them. He's gone for West Brom, but he's been fantastic for Palace. Do you think he'll go back to Chelsea next season? I imagine so. I imagine Dale have a look at him in terms of using him in the squad. You know, we had half a season at West Brom and done well in him. Palace have given him a full season and I'm sure they're desperate to keep him. But I think he might be looking now. You know, being talked about for England and all that, he might be looking and Chelsea might be looking and I think we might have another Mason mum type on our hands here. It'd be worth them giving him a right to go in the pre-season. I could see Chelsea refreshing their squad this season and him coming into it. He's been on it in the Premier League, so do it again for Chelsea. So that'd be a major blow for Palace if they were to lose him, but hopefully he has an off day on Thursday before we play them. Please. No side. Sorry, Evan at the top of the own goals. League this season. Lovely. That's just good. If you like that sort of thing, you've conceded 59 goals in the Premier League. Only in the 93-94 season did we concede more, which was 63. Which shows you what the issue's been, hasn't it? And Bratialysen has been involved. Seven goals in his last nine Premier League appearances, five goals and two assists. Overall, he's had a hand in 14 Premier League goals this season. He's got nine goals, five assists and only registering more in the 1920 season when he got 13 goals and three assists. That's interesting, isn't it? That's interesting a bit because obviously he hasn't had what we would look at as a vintage season. No, no. Far from it. But he's played in different positions. He's had time out. He's obviously played in two competitions in the summer. It's been a very long season and he's obviously pulled out his best form towards the end of the season and hopefully that continues because he's obviously a huge player for us. And he works hard, works tightly for the team and hopefully in the next couple of games he can get into the double figures and start with this game. If he gets a couple of goals or he gets a goal and assists, he's equaled his best level season. That's going to be nice. Can we need it? We do need it. It's going to be a very tense affair but hopefully as fans we make it as noisy and rauch as we possibly can. What I would say is against Brentford, the first hour was the slowest hour I've felt for a very long time in football and yet the last half an hour just went like that. Protecting the lead was just like slow motion and then once you're chasing it the game just won't waste me that quick. So it's going to be a long night of course and I think people will be not only looking at our score but looking at the Bayley score as well. Don't make me nervous. No, no. There you go, there you go. Best of luck to all of us, best of luck to all of us. Make sure you leave a comment on this, let us know your thoughts on the game.
