 Welcome to Doffy TV. It's the play ratings. Manchester 93 Everton 1 Everton out of the FA Cup in the third round. Um disappointing but we've already covered all that anyway in the instant match reaction. So, let's get into a play ratings Jordan Pickford in goal. Um I don't think there's anything you could think of. Sometimes do we say that? Uh made some decent save from from long shots. Dottis Handlin was good. Um yeah, all round. Yeah, one keeper made a massive mistake. Didn't end up meaning anything and and it wasn't Jordan Pickford so we he was absolutely fine tonight doing his job and um continues to be consistent at the back. So, I've given a seven Sheamus Coleman. Uh obviously coming in for the next five weeks or so. Um in there, obviously playing in a playing in a wing back roll, getting forward a lot. Done well for the goal that we had this allowed was getting getting forward as much as he could and putting a lot of energy into fair play some for that. Uh I thought he had a decent game. I thought I thought he showed his age a little bit on their second goal. I thought the um I thought the way Rashford ran him and then stopped them. It's what happens when you get a little when you get older. I am well aware. It's what happens when you get older. You think you can keep up with these people but your body just doesn't just doesn't allow you to do that anymore. Um but I've given a seven because I thought all round he had a good game so good to see him having a good game as well after you know and just the way Paterson's injury record is which is slightly concerning that he's been an event for a year and has had three injuries that have you know kept them out for a considerable considerable length of time. Um yeah let's hope that improves um but good to have shames come the captain in there. Uh Michelin on the other side thought it was a tough knife and Michelin thought he was really really poor on the first round. He didn't react at all just let um Anthony drift off him got too concerned with the I'll never understand why defenders do this. I'll never understand why defenders pay more attention to the people who are behind them rather than the people who are in front of the person in front here is the person who can do the damage the fella behind you you've got enough time to turn if it's played back to them and you turn you're looking you're turning right and you look right and then you look left and you look right in because everything does come from the left you've got enough time to stop and it's a bit like that to me he gets he gets he gets attracted to the fella behind them and yet gives the fella in front of him a tapping very very I do not understand why people do that um and he gets caught for that and I just thought in a lot of times um uh yeah yeah yeah I don't I don't think he's amazing I've I've said that I've gone on the record of saying that he works very very hard is that enough sometimes when you're playing against technically very gifted players I don't think so um so I've given Michael ankle a five Ben Godfrey yeah in patches tonight looked really um not solid solid competitive competitive um tonight but then the first goal the first goal he allows the cross to come in you know listen he's an aggressive player he's aggressive playing why isn't he more aggressive there and he allows the cross to come in where a bit more aggression he stops that cross you've got to stop the cross you if you stop the cross it's dealt with isn't it and then obviously he gives the penalty away late on as well so he had the hand in two of their three goals um so can you really say he's had a he's had a good game he was as I said he's not he's not a great footballer what he is as an athlete he's physical he's pacy puts himself about um he needs loads of tutored tutored from the plays next to him but he's an athlete isn't he and unfortunately he he he you know he gets caught out a couple of times I've given him a six because in the in the between the first goal and the third goal I thought he did okay and I think that aggression was important and I like that aggression I like that aggression um I think it's something that was missing the other night I think it was um really was missing the other night from from our play I think sometimes that aggression can sparkle the people into action as I said I don't think he's a brilliant defender I don't think he's a brilliant footballer but he's got he's got this far to being a professional footballer um from from what for the attributes he's got I've given him a six anyway uh James Tarkowski um um don't his job in terms of blocks headers um just general all around defending could he have given Connor Cody a shout for the second goal well it all happens really really quickly doesn't he and you can't always know what's gonna happen or or can't always be quick enough to tell team mate what's gonna happen and so I suppose I can forgive him there Tarkowski uh Connor Cody sticks a foot out when it goes in it's not Tarkowski's fault he might might have done it anyway it's just an instinct um who knows he might have shouted for all I know I'm sitting here sitting here not having a clue on mine really um but defensively yet he's don't don't what he does every single game to be honest which is put his head in put his body in um and trying trying um defending the basic sense um not always doesn't always work it certainly didn't work on it didn't certainly work on Tuesday when he was up against plays you were twisting him inside and outside um but he did all I've given a six and a half uh Connor Cody obviously disappointed disappointed that he conceded the own goal did score great right place right time followed stayed up followed up and put it in the box and I'll give him I'll give him seven for that I know he got an own goal but I'll give him a seven because he got the goal um and those two really are um those two really are are bedrock of um of how we've played this this this season or wait I think we've been a lot ways off um them them work then you know if we didn't have them um apparently my scores are too high that's because that's because players worked hard and and are trying to do what they can do you can't mark people down for not being good footballers or putting a or putting a um formation that doesn't suit them you can't mark people down because they're not as good as the opposition in terms of in terms of where you where they played I I thought we worked hard tonight I said that in the last video I thought we worked hard and we stayed in the game till the very end is there enough are we a good enough side now of course you know but you can't go you can't do your player right I can't do my player ratings based on what happened in the game before or what happened in the game before I have to do it based on what happens in this game and that's what I am doing and so give kind of code of seven oh no that I thought tonight might have just been oh no this best game in an ever and shit I thought he sat in front of the back for I thought he is tackling was one where he got a yellow card I thought this tackling was pretty spot on I thought he's used to the ball was quite good and and I thought we did I thought he did quite well so there was an improvement there that's where that's where you want to see him play it's where I want to see him play as a number six that is position leave him in that position and see what happens leaving that position see what happens for the rest of the season and I've give oh Nana a 7.25 there you go 7.25 yeah I want to see him playing in the six and I wanted to see him sitting front of the back four is tackling is pretty spot on he has to be quickly in possession that's the one thing yeah he has to be quickly in possession that's that's as big that's as big thing but he's I think he's getting closer to the pace of the game if he if he keeps playing in that position so there you go Ghana I was just looking at his stats his stats are not terrible I think the only problem with Ghana is there's too much passing backwards he doesn't go forward enough with the ball he gets the ball and he tends to turn backwards now I don't know whether that's because there's never anything in front of him which he probably is but he does tend to go backwards too often we need and that I don't know whether that's as I said there's not in front of a bit of self-preservation for the team and he's not crap right I'll say this right now Ghana's not crap look at his numbers every single game passing numbers tackles they're always high they're always the highest in the team it doesn't give loads of files away and things like that he just passes too much backwards for me that's his biggest issue I've given him a six tonight but that's his biggest problem he has to go forward with the ball and maybe it's in himself maybe he's not confident in his own passing so he tends to come you've seen that on Tuesday night so maybe he goes backwards because of that Ghana is 33 right he's not crap right it's just not crap I mean if people can say he's crap he's not crap his numbers you look at his numbers his numbers speak for themselves right he does the job he's asked to do he goes and presses often on his own and then his passing needs to be better and that's why maybe he gives the ball back right it's not I actually think he could play in a better team slightly higher and that paris on demand that Senegal he had that so I don't think he's crap at all can he be better on the ball yeah but is he gonna get better on the ball I don't imagine he will considering his age Harry Bran you're just embarrassing yourself making the comments there I will defend Ghana I'll sit here and I will defend Ghana I'm not I'm not particularly asked I will sit and defend Ghana because his numbers are good his numbers are good and you would notice when he wasn't in the team you would notice when he wasn't in the team the same way on people said we wouldn't notice over in Ghana wasn't in the team and when O'Nana didn't play on Tuesday there was a there was a massive O'Nana shaped hole in the team that wasn't there so it's that easy to see to say things like that so he he's not a he's not blessed with ridiculous passion ability or shooting ability he's a destructive player and that's his job so I've given him a six tonight a woe be really disappointing to see him go off he wasn't having a particularly good game I must admit but it's very sad to see a player go off with with any kind of injury it really is especially the way he went down over on his ankle it's not particularly it's not particularly good and we'll have to wait and see I can imagine it'll be a you know what Evan it'll just be it'll just be a bad home only of course it will it'll be a bad home because that's Evan for you he hadn't been playing that well up to then his passing was slack he wasn't really creating anything I'd give him a five but the injury he was on a counter attack he was breaking it he wasn't really getting away from the lad to be honest and that's and the leg catches him and he just goes on his ankle it's what happens it's horrible on that because it isn't a foul but it's when we've all done that once in our lives we've all done that we've all gone over on our ankle like that and they just kill they just absolutely kill so you imagine going yeah horrible horrible injury as I said he hadn't been playing well I'd give him a five the Maree Grey our biggest threat tonight without doubt although when he got when he did get into good areas he often didn't know what to do with the ball sadly didn't have a final ball he is dangerous but his final ball is poor you know if the goal if the goal second goal stands then you go well actually that's what he's been doing all night but if he he's just like he's that far away isn't he from being a decent player but that far away is just enough that he's not a decent player and that he he's a decent player but you know what I mean he's just he he just does something and then you like get excited and then he goes and obviously the goal is to go to Man City they come they come once in a blue moon ironically but he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't take care of this he's another like he's another like Ross Barkley isn't he he gets that position and then it's he doesn't know what to do with it he doesn't have the final ball or he doesn't he was one in the second half and he done really well and he gets it I think he got on his left foot and literally back passes it to the keeper and you're just like can you not have smashed it with one foot or bent it with the other foot and that's the problem we have too many like that and he was our biggest threat but he just doesn't have an end product and he did play well because the threat's there and I think that's the position he should be playing in but I've given I've given a 7.25 also he's just he's just so annoying but he still is our he still was our best best player so really really annoying Mopai he tried he made some runs that no one saw but people just don't give him the ball set the goal up and I've I've given him a 6 he wouldn't be in a 5 if he hadn't set the goal up probably actually no I'm giving him a 5 I'll give him 5.5 he just makes some decent runs but the problem is because of his height you can't play the ball over the top and because of his pace you can't play the ball in the channels to him he doesn't particularly hold it up very well but he's isolated like Dom was on Tuesday just isolated isolated can't go anywhere I love this the new scapegoat now if players aren't very good they're not scapegoats they're just not very good he's certainly not the worst way to play it tonight and I felt sorry for him because he was isolated he was making runs and no one was finding finding him with the ball I felt a little bit sorry for him but there you go he didn't score he got took off and there we have it the subs down the car balloon obviously if the goal had stood then he would have done amazing but he didn't what can you say he didn't I think he only had about 13 touches again isolated no one near him one cross he had and he put it in unfortunately it was offside I thought we should have brought Simson later on and put another player up with him I get the subs I didn't quite understand the subs because they kept the shape when I thought we should have been just breaking a little bit to get forward and have another centre forward on so I've given a 5.5 Decori when he came on for a woby he started really poorly made a bad tackle for it it was a bad attempt to tackle I don't even think he touched the player he got a yellow card for it but then he picked up and then he started to play higher up the pitch and he started doing okay you know his pass completion I think was like 95% he started to get in the game and be higher up the pitch and have that little bit of room to get forward and back the forwards he actually did alright Decori he was on the pitch for about 40 minutes and he did well while he was on he was just a slow start Andy Gordon and Dwight MacNeill barely touched the ball barely could get into the game when they were on I've given them both 5.5 barely did anything while they were on the pitch I would have brought Sims on personally I would have got him involved but the manager didn't so there you go disappointing night yeah so and as I said next week now is the big one for us Southampton we have to get three points it's as simple as that we have to get three points on next Saturday we'll have to wait and see on our injuries see what happens with the front the front land pad situation as well and everything else
