Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the final word, the first one of 2020, sadly there will be a discussion at the feet, Manchester City 21, myself and Paddy are still struggling under the weather, I've had loads of broche which I'm just keeping it here. I haven't had enough food, I think that's what it is. Too much. I just feel knackered all the time at the moment. Sleaf yn patterns all over the place? Every way. Every way. No, mine on as well. Mae ddyn nhw. Mae ddyn nhw. Just now. At the feet. At the feet? I know. It's one of them. You know what, I was frustrated watching this, not because we lost the game because playing Manchester City, I know they were in a full strength of love, they're still a good side and they're at home. Just frustrated with the way we played. No, and the reason why I'm not ffumin or anything like that over it is because there's reasons for the way we played and you could see that it was a game too many daily forever and I thought that was my opinion. But I was just frustrated that we didn't take the game to them all and we did in the last 25 minutes and we still wasn't good enough but at least we had a little bit of a go I mean. At the end of the day it's Manchester City, isn't it? They're a good side. They're probably the best possession-based side in Europe, maybe. You know what I mean? There's still whatever the frailties have been this year, possession-wise. You need to have a certain element in your game that can counter that and I just don't think we have the right mix for this game. I think Bernard going out in the warm-up was a huge miss. Huge miss because you set your tactics up, you set your team up, you've got any days to figure out what you're going to do, you've got to get the message across to the players what the job is and then suddenly you lose one of the key parts of that because someone has done something silly in a warm-up. I think that was a big blow-down for us and I don't know, I can't honestly say psychologically how big a blow-out was because I don't know. But when you're replacing with someone like Tom Davis, that was a strange one for me, just the replacement seems a bit weird but I'm not going to get into starting because the sides of Carlo and Cialotti at this point, he might have just been the fittest player. Bernard rolling in that game would have been to get over the ball and break the lines between the midfield and the front two and allow maybe for Charleston to drop deeper at times and him to push up at times. By not having that and for it to be Tom Davis, we lost a really big offensive part of our game and it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of Bernard. I think he would have allowed us even at times to go longer more because if we'd gone longer more and asked them to come out with the ball and then press them high up, I think Bernard would have been a lot higher and I don't think Tom Davis pressed high enough. I don't think any of them in the field pressed high enough and that was a major problem with this game and that only changed when we made subs when the players on the pitch naturally were going to go high because they were all offensive players. That's where part of our game plan went out the window and that's so frustrating that happens in the warmer. I think you only have to look around midfield to see how slow it was and how defensive minded it was at times, which is weird for the three players that were in their book. These things happen and that's where we as a club have got to get better players and more adventurous players and braver players and the manager will start seeing that I think. What a great way to start in the new year when you're out for a little bit of luck, you lose a player in a warmer before the game and obviously maybe we need to have non-contact in the small side of games to get us ready. But you write it, it did change because what Bernard does better than anybody is he keeps hold of the ball. He does that thing that Pina used to do, which is he buys your time on the ball. Barclay did it as well for us. You'd get it and you'd have someone who'll keep the ball and protect it and obviously that helps Luca Dean as well who was non-eventful in this game. Wasn't it ineffectual, totally ineffectual in the game and it did stop us having some moment natural with because what he did, he played that way against Burnley didn't he and what he did against Burnley was it enabled the charlots to pull into those wide areas and Bernard come through the middle and it caused them a few issues and I think it would have caused City more because naturally they're an offensive team so we would have had that little bit of space in behind. Maybe there was nobody, Dom I didn't think I had a particularly good game, it was his worst game for a while but every time he went up to try and knock something down to someone there was no one really close to him and so we ended up flicking balls to people. It's no coincidence that Dom doesn't have particularly good games when he's isolated. He can't have a good game if you're not in the game and I thought the whole big problem for this game was that the charlots and Dom will always chase lost causes but it's impossible to chase lost causes when there's nobody else helping you out. And actually the goal we scored showed what happens when the charlots and Dom do have players around them and that's something that was missing for the first 60 minutes. I think that's why Bernard, all the reasons you've said that, why he was such, because he's another attacker and you need attacking players. What could he, I mean I suppose the only real thing he could have done was play well cut on the left because obviously the team that I had thought of and I think it was the team you'd picked at Coleman and Sidibe because we were thinking maybe Staling was going to play so you think we'll have a couple of players to cope with that threat and also because Sidibe gets forward so well. You know what though, you know what though, like the team we both picked for the game, I wasn't even thinking about their plays, I was just thinking about what suit he does and what I, what I'd seen from the first couple of games under Anterotti and I just thought that would work, Sidibe cannot defend, he just cannot defend and he had the same problems as he did when we played Liverpool. The gap between him and whoever's playing inside him is too big so I prefer him to be higher up the pitch and yeah he was higher up on this pitch and in the pitch in this game didn't really have a good game because what I thought happened and again there was the tiredness so I'm not, by no means I'll let you know when I'm criticising a player by the way, I'm not criticising, I'm just saying why I thought it didn't go the way it did. I think what happened was is that when we went long, Don went for it and the Charleston was behind him and then the next person was 15 yards behind them and what it meant was is that people like Sidibe who recently have been pushing higher up, they don't want to go then because they're like, hang on, if I go and then we lose it, and the team never moved up and down like in waves like it has done in the last couple of games and I think he just got caught in no man's land for this game, like oh do a stick or do a twist and then that's where as a team you have to be braver and that's where we have to get. That's where I've seen him, I've seen Leicester's game match of the day and they were talking about it afterwards and obviously they'd gone to Newcastle and destroyed them and no Jamie Vardy and they've done that in the last couple of games away from home and I think what he said was, what he was coming out and showing the clip was how quickly they moved the ball and I think that's something that Brendan Rodgers has brought to Leicester. The Ames Field is excellent, excellent, like the Tealmans and the ladig off of Sampdoria and a couple of others. The Ames Field, they're all very very comfortable on the ball but what they do is they move the ball really really fast. Where you look at Ames Field yesterday and you've got Sigarton and Delth and Tom Davis and they're all players who sort of linger on the ball and I don't know whether that's because there's nothing ahead of them but it dictates how you play whereas when we have like a Gomez in there or when we have Robies in there, when we have Ghana last season it's quicker and it's faster and I think we're not really being used to that for a while. I've had one of those kind of Ames Fielders who it wants up and it's popping it off and it's moving and I think that's something we definitely need because that is the key. You look at them yesterday, how many times, it was just ping ping ping ping, four passes and they've broke the press and they're away and then you're on the back foot on what you do. Yesterday I lost count of the amount of times that Ames Field got the ball and then next minute I look at City and City, I've got nine men behind the ball and you're like this is man's city but that's what they do really well, they get back into shape and we've said that for a while about everything is that when you've got a slow team it allows the opposition to just get back in numbers and therefore the ball then goes from side to side to side. Even towards the end of the scheme, they had so many men behind the ball, we were always looking for that angle and we could never find it and they kept on pushing us back to the point where Sadibi at the end had a couple of chances to whip a ball in but because it wasn't like the perfect ball, he just didn't so we ended up going back and then we ended up losing it and that's where you need that pace in midfield and that's got to be the next step for this team is. Find them players in sentiment field who can get round the pitch, who can box the original box to box players and in the three we had in there yesterday, those three as a three simply can't do that. There'll be room for Tom Davis, there'll be room for Adelph, there might even be room for a Sigarton but if you don't have a couple in there with them, you've got to have legs. That can get up and down the pitch. They just look fresh to me, they all know what to do with it, which is fair enough, so they can bring a couple of young lads up to systems and say they play the way, it's the way they all do it, it's the way they do it. It's three years isn't it? They've been doing it for time and everything else and they're a good shot and just off for us we didn't do what we probably should have done which would have enabled us to stay in the game. We started, we had Coleman going round the back early on and had a left foot shot and the keepers made a good save, actually pushes it over and it just lands on top of the net. But I thought we wasted six pieces yesterday, the Sigarton's six pieces are terrible, I'm sorry, six corners we had, we didn't ever look a threat. We had one and he probably should have done better. The lad done well in front of him, he took his eye off it, but other than that I don't know if he dealt comfortably with it. But I thought in general, City didn't have too much in the first half really, they had a goal, they should have VAR nonsense. The goal, I mean I just thought it was a goal, it was bad defending first and foremost, shame is calling, still blinding when I didn't realise the only man he had to mark, he let him go. And I just thought it was one, it was not normal, when you see it again he's offside but it goes back so long. That's the use, that's the good use of it Adam. But I still think it needs to sink ring cos the offside thing was busy, what I've seen over the last three Premier League games have been nonsense for every club, not just ever. We got away with that, the one that was real was just uttered nonsense, was the one that he was checking for a penalty with Mahrez. The flag went up and the referee blew the whistle so the game stops, so if he's blown the whistle because the flag went up the game can't then be awarded a penalty. They were checking for a penalty despite Mahrez bringing it down with two hands and it went on for three minutes and it was like he's blown the whistle so whole guy could have done anything to him, could have taken a free hit and put him four foot in the air because the referee blew the whistle. So what would have happened if they had gone into a penalty? Cos the game stopped. Let's have it right, BAR isn't the issue, the people interpreting it is the issue. But the rules are the issue. But that is nonsense. The rules are the issue, it's not. I've said this loads of times, it's not skying it. It's just the people who are making the rules. You've seen the one with the villa game? And did you see how far back that was by the way? No, no, what happens is that the ball is coming out and then it gets like and then they clear it and then it comes back again. So it's like there's about 40-50 seconds between that happening and it's nonsense. It's nonsense this, the whole thing needs to just be. But yeah that's mad. It needs to clean it. That was not one of them because it took three minutes. And yet when Gabriel has used good, the goal that stood, he would check in it. He had it done more than 10 seconds on it. Even though it was marginal. His elbow was offside. But you can't go with your elbows. But rampage, you can't go with your armpage. No, no, an elbow, it's mad. Anyway, but other than that, I didn't really think the, I thought we defended all right. They probably moved the ball too slow for them. Like Guardiola, I am madding her half time. It was like quickening it up but too slow. We got into shape all right. I thought we defended all right in the first half. It was a terrible game, let's be honest. It just looked like we looked so... No, they're all terrible games. Steve Bruce got it right yesterday. He said there's too many games. He said I've got players. He said I've got four players with the same injury. You know, calf hamstrings and all these things. He said you've got to get them out again. He said this last week. There's too many games. People are saying there's too many games of footy and they're getting ribbon because they've got no players or there's no quality. Well, Newcastle had to make three subs and then lost the player 10 seconds into the second half of that in a muslin injury, didn't he show? Yeah, so we got in at half time. It was, you know, milling. You think I'm right? Well, if we can... The big thing I thought in the first half was Auntie Lottie being frustrated with the way we were playing. I thought that was good, though. You know, it was good. We were knocking it back and he was like that. Because at first, we were knocking it round at the back to pick for them. My dad's like, I'm going to start this again. I'm like, maybe that's what he wants to do. But then you see him ffuming. So it's like, right. The players, that insurance... Isn't this what I said to you last week after the Newcastle game, though? About you can't have players doing what the manager doesn't want them to do. You've got to start telling them. And I thought that was really good. Because I was watching and thinking, why are we doing this against these? And the fact that Auntie Lottie was like, no, what are you doing? Get it forward. Stop taking them round. We're playing that way. Showing, trenching. Yeah. But that's the thing, isn't it? But that's really a good point in terms of the players is... And I think that's a good point going forward is that we need braver players and braver he comes from. Do you think it's all show for you? Do you think it's just because he simply hasn't had enough time? Of course. He's to do it. It's been with them all week. It's been a week and we've had things. Don't forget, I know we've had like three games, but it's only been a week and a little bit. Don't forget, you'd better be looking at them. All you can do when you first go in as a coach is give instructions, isn't it? Organisation. Organisation and instructions. And you'll be on the train down a couple of days. Listen, Sheffield is in line to the train on Stanley Park. You know, that's the main thing today because there's not enough days to train. So you've got to get every little... So he won't be able to get that across. I think someone who we've seen in the last 12 months who's got that kind of bravery is on the goldmess. Nobody gets the ball and you've got your heart in your mouth. But he's the kind of player who is brave.  And we don't see that enough in my field. Tom Davis tries to do it, he's not got quick enough, strong enough to do it. And I said this yesterday on my intermassive action. Every time Tom Davis goes for a run, he ends up on the floor one way or another now. That he fouled all to shove over. He ends up on the floor and I find that weird because when he came into the team and when he scored that goal against Man City how fluent he was and how his runs were. Do you think it's a confidence issue? I don't think that's a confidence issue. I don't know what that is. If you look at that goal against City. When he came into the team and he was playing, he'd come out there on the 23s and he had the ability to run and carry the ball. He doesn't seem to be able to have that anymore. He always seems to end up in a heap. No, I don't know. And I don't know where there. Is he taking through many touches? It's just like... Then he was running into the space. Now he seems to run at plays and I don't know. I'm not having to go with Tom. I told him he was poor, but I'm not having to go. I just told him... I think that's something that Man City will pick up on me. What we need in midfield and this is what I'm saying is what Antelotti will be looking for and this is what, when you look from a standpoint of coming in from better teams he'll want braver players because better players are braver. They have more confidence in their own ability. That's what he'll be looking at now and that's what gives me confidence that he'll be saying none of these midfielders can do what I want them to do. I want them to be brave. I want them to turn. I want them to look up and pick a pass. I don't want them concerned about the other team scoring goals. It's like all the best teams they can go and go behind and they just go, just carry on. Keep doing what we're doing. We'll score. It's why all the best teams even if they're 1-0 down, like five minutes you still think like the old Man United team you're like, they'll still win this. They're playing and it's going and it's going and it's going. And they'll pull off going now and City sometimes have it. It's that feeling that you've got to do. They just keep doing what they're doing and it's a mental thing. The minute you turn around and give it back to your defenders or your goalkeeper or you do that all the time the opposition is just like, push up 10 yards. We've got these. These have got nothing. They've got nothing. I think that's what we showed in this game. So I think for the manager by saying why? He'll look at that and go I know what I need to do with this. I need a couple in midfield. Because the talent in the squad there's no question about it. But it reminded me of Eilion in the season. Like they're like a villar away when the midfield was like snadling and Andre Gomez and Andre Gomez was in fifth. But he won't go forward because he's got snadling next to him and he's like, I can't go forward because of these two. And it's fine in that balance and I think hopefully a game like this is a bit of a reality because you know wake up to him and go well we can we'll talk about that towards the end of it. We got in at half time I can say and they can come out now and see if we can stretch them a bit because they weren't at the best and they did have a few plays in moving play normally but we go and do that thing where we if you actually look at the goal they score about 10 minutes into the second half if you actually look at the goal the shape of us is actually all right we've got enough men behind the ball but no one's tight so there's one pass from Gundaw and it's on he fires it through Hallgate probably should be a little bit tight it's a lovely touch by Gabriel who's used to come back inside but then do you think that he doesn't get tight because he's worried about that kind of touch though? Maybe because I think the one criticism I would say what Mason Hallgate is he doesn't I think his body shape at times is wrong he never gets side on to a player to attack him and I always find that he's always adjusting while the striker is doing something like getting that first touch and I always it's like we've seen it against Leicester he's like spinning round in circles because his body shape's wrong seeing it loads of times with him actually he never quite the one thing he needs to correct he never quite gets that body shape right to first to be side on he's always like too straight so when they go side on he's stuck then he doesn't know where to put himself and he always loses that half a second and good strikers only need half a second and the first touch is brilliant it's brilliant the way he just shifts it back doesn't he? he shifts it in one touch and everything's leaning that way but but then after that he's killed it and I I think the goal he's got to do better I think the goal he should be saving it I've got no problem saying that I'm saying he's got a hand on it if you get a hand on it as a keeper you've got to have strong hands and when he's got a hands you've got to I think I'm going to check this in with you I think if a keeper gets a hand on a shot he should be saving it honestly I think he should and especially that people can spring people can tell me different but if you get a hand on it it wasn't like blasted it wasn't like a rocket and it wasn't top corner rather you know I'm disappointed that it went in because when he got when I seen him get to it I thought he was going to save it and it dropped in you know you won down the team he scores against us all the time he's got that thing against us hasn't he you know and then we done the thing that Everton do you know and I hope this is another thing Carlisle Antelott he'll have to fix is that staying again then teams will score goals it's the nature of football you said it before about the top teams if they can seed they make sure they don't concede again it's get your shape get tight to everybody you know and just get through the next 10 minutes and we'll feel ourselves back into the game and we go and do the same again we stand off them there's gaps they play a nice little move they get a man over it goes off to Jesus and this definitely for me is 100% the goalkeeper's fault because near post the thing kids are taught as keepers protect you near post and you know if Gabriel has used it's that back across them into the roof of the net you look at your defenders because you can't really blame the goalie because it's flew past them up there but when it goes in at your near post that's a me was the goalkeeper both of them were the goalkeeper I've got no problem saying that goalies make big saves don't you you think he'll be sitting there today going on in a good game I mean if he is he's wrong I don't think he will but I just think that he's got to those moments a cake we might have got a draw it's ended up in the net and he's got to look at himself and go nothing should be made the best goalkeeper saved them it's the thing that will stop because I think he's got loads of talent pick great with his feet and he's a good goalie but there's areas of his game that he's got to step up on the level that's the one where you would save it that's what the heist be brilliant at that's what the heist be brilliant at same with his feet that's the one where you save with your feet that's the one where you're a kid and someone puts you in goal and you don't save with your hands and you save with your feet it was just a poor goal it was a poor goal defensively and the goalkeeper should have done better that's his job do you know when people say I've seen people how is the best goalie going or is the worst goalie he's somewhere in the middle but you've got to criticise him haven't you you've got to be able to say go it's not like a personal attack it's just that when you're looking at goals you will always go he was at fault because that's how goals are scored the same as you give him credit if he makes a brilliant save I just thought he should have done better on both goals but defensively we should have done better on that again that's something the new manager can work on sometimes you learn more from the defeating I'm sure we'll have seen the stats and we don't give up many shots on goals and yet we concede loads but we have conceded loads there has to be a correlation there somewhere and for me Pickford in the last year simply has not developed as a goalkeeper he really hasn't for whatever reason whether it be mentally or whatever he has not developed as a goalkeeper and someone actually pulled me up on it on the comments saying as you go back to your first video when he signed go goalie I was made up and in the first season I thought he was brilliant but since then I don't think he's kicked on one bit and do you think that's the answer the goalkeeping coaches are I honestly don't know and I'm not blaming Alan Kelly because the fellas no I honestly don't know because I've never been a goalkeeper but I've never been a goalkeeper coach but when he crosses that white line surely it's on him and I I refuse to defend somebody when I see them making mistakes or not even mistakes they're not mistakes because it's not like he's thrown it into his neck no no but I think sometimes we look at goalkeepers and we think that everything they do is down to dropping the ball and going in it's not it's things like that that's the bread and butter for goalkeepers goalies make big saves and get you lots of points that's what never saw probably I judge most goalies on Neville Salto because I've seen the very best and if you look at people like Eddison now and Alison even for them and you know the top goalies make big saves you know how many I don't watch Liverpool's games but I'm aware of how many important saves he makes even because they won games by the odd goal this year many times well isn't that way and he's made even Wolves the other day Wolves he made two brilliant saves but isn't that the difference though they had Mignolet and Carious and both of them were making mistakes and people were saying things like and Bravo for City by the way as well exactly the same exactly the same they had Bravo and it was like every time I shot every time they had a shot and it went in like every time and then he brought this the one they got now in and suddenly it was like he doesn't concede stupid goals very very often and the kicking and everything that's obviously a massive bonus but the number one thing for both those teams was at the same time it was like well that's another three point Mignolet or Carious or Bravo and it's like you start adding those three points up we would have had an extra three points there and you're like yeah we would have won the league or whatever do you know what I mean we would have won something Haven't Casper's Michael or really do he doesn't make mistakes Casper's Michael no he doesn't make mistakes I wouldn't call Lem mistakes yesterday and I just think he could've done much better they're not mistakes isn't that what I'm saying they're not mistakes he's not catching them and throwing them into his net or he's not letting the ball bubble to his legs or he's not doing what the Hague has been doing recently they're technical mistakes that you'd expect you'd expect goalkeepers to say a�wt meddwl o'r better a yn cynllun iawn i ni i ddim yn dwyle.

So we were turning down the data posters well didn't we? As we were later on, but we had a similar thing again, where we just allowed them to play through us. But you know, the man had to then make the changes turning down, brought Moise Keen on. Before we get on to Moise Keen, he took Gylffy Sigg, it's enough. It's just looking good. He apparently was on the pitch yesterday. He played 66 goals, none, just none. Touch of 36. 36. Go on. Shot on target nine, shot on target nine, shot on target nine, shot on target nine. Successful dribbles, nine. Ground Jules 1-3. Arial Jules 1-1 and a one possession lost seven times tackles. One. So the question is... Jules Pro. Jules Pro not involved enough. The question is, what is Gylffy Sigg is going to do? It's weird in it because against Newcastle, I didn't think he'd done too badly in that role. But because I thought what he did was, he sat deep. And allowed other players to do the attacking players. But I think the problem with the rest of these games was is that we didn't have those other attacking players on the... Or one of those other attacking players. So maybe there was more on in then and he simply didn't produce. And with Man City's midfield being quicker than ours, he was slow and caught. He didn't play any forward ball. There was a couple in the first half, where he took too long and they broke on us. Coleman done the same, James. Coleman was really poor as well. Done the same thing. They get themselves in a position where they're in trouble because they've allowed people to get on top of them. And they end up flicking balls. So no one had just been nudged off the ball. And City broke on us a couple of times and one has you sliced wide. And that was because Sigg had to give the ball away and they broke on us quickly then and he can't get back. You know, and if you look at the same with... There was one with Delph as well that done the same and he just didn't run back. We got stuck in No Man's Land. He didn't know whether to get forward because it's the combination. There's no one in there with any kind of... As I'm saying about Newcastle, he just sat back and he was fine. But at Newcastle, we played the 4-2-4 didn't we? No, as I'm saying, he sat back because he had all the plays around. Well cocked the Charles and Moise Key and the Dock. So we had four left and Sidney beat. So his job was to sit back but in this game, because of the way we played and the make-up of the team and without Bernard, Sidney found the three midfielders didn't go anywhere. So when they do lose the ball, they can't get back. But then they've got no one ahead of them and no one's carrying the ball. They're just in No Man's Land and that's the problem is that. You know, gilfee, you know, we're on the way with Premier League. Let's be honest, the Premier League, especially the engine room to midfield, is all about legs and being able to move around a pit. Technically, he's very good, good, such can score, although he hasn't scored this season, but he's capable of banging one in from 30 yards if you can get him enough space. He's got one as near against Westam, which he proved that. And I always think now, if you're going to use them, you'd use them for the last 15 minutes of games, 20 minutes of games, when the game's settled down and he's at their level, or you have loads of legs around them. But we haven't got that. And the reason he's in the team is because of who's available. Of course, if Gabamon was fit and André Gomez was fit, and he probably wouldn't be in there. A Wobie? A Wobie, Snydlan, maybe. No, but I think with Snydlan, Snydlan knows how to protect them out for, so he's got a specific role that you just put them in, and then everyone else would be legs. But if Gilfee's in there because of... The decision that the manager has to make with him now is. Is he good enough? To play in front of the back four? Because he can't play any higher? No.  Does he see in him the ability with the ball to find players? To become paler? To become that kind of player? That kind? Yeah, no. No. Not actual paler. Not actual paler. Not actual paler. Not actual paler. No, but you know, become that kind of player, he's got to make that decision. Do you think he's good enough defensively, though? I do. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Was you trying to tell me paler? Was that a great defender? No, but the way Italian clubs are set up, you've got the protection. That's not what I'm saying. That he's got to look at that position as an attacking position, but a deep lying attacking position. No, no, but you're not thinking about it the right way. If he has a player like Ghana was, then he doesn't. Just because he sits deep, he doesn't have to be defensive. Yeah, yeah. It's just that he's the player he gives the ball to. No, I'm not. You've got to have those runners. The manager's got to make that decision whether he can buy someone or two that can play that role. And if he doesn't feel like that, then I think he'll just get rid of them. Because he's not old enough where he becomes like a bain's where he just sits on the bench. He's still only 30. He could still go somewhere and do a job. And I think he'd rather do that. Yeah. There's no point in sitting on the bench for those. It's just whether the manager thinks he's got enough technical ability and whether he could put. And whether that you sacrifice the other part of his game. Now, you have to be very good to do that. And I don't necessarily think he is good enough to do that. But that's up to the manager to decide whether he has got. If you can buy him a bit more time on the ball and then you have runners and he can pick passes, is he clever enough? Does he do that though? But he doesn't need that at the moment, but that's the jigsaw, isn't he? That's the whole jigsaw. I think for Everton, I'm for the way I see it, I just think he's not. What was snarling very good at when he came into the side? Recycling the ball. But giving it to players like Barclay, who could move the ball off. I think, I honestly think, the way I answer it, he likes his team. And I think he does like it. He likes a 4-4-2. Well, no, I don't have that. That's all right. And therefore, if you're looking at having two in the middle of the park, then really, they've got to be mobile, haven't they? Cos you're only having two men in there. If he goes to a 4-3-3, then you can have one with two, and your legs become them, don't you? And then you're too wide. So he may, when everyone's fit, he may move the team slightly. He might move away from a 4-4-2 for certain gains or whatever. I just look at the likes of Sigurdson. And you mentioned it right at the very start of this discussion. The combination, isn't it right? Him and Delth are very much like him and Snarling. It's too slow. Tom Davies, I like Tom Davies, but he's even too slow to play in there. You need someone who can move around a bit. And you need physicality. And that's what I'm saying to you about tackling. Why, as you look at Gundaman, who's a very good footballer, where he'll throw his foot in and he's strong. But it's why we bought a Wobie, isn't it? We bought a Wobie because his number's backed up, that he could play and he could transition the ball from... And that's what he's good at. See, it's sometimes, not sometimes. It's his final ball that lets him down. And it's exactly what we have with Ross Barclay. But that's the problem with Snarling. You never ever see Sigurdson. You never ever see Sigurdson pick up a ball and move it. You just don't see it. It's not in his game anymore. And he's not quick enough to play wide, is he? No. So, that'll be one of those decisions. He's won that. I mean, for me personally, he's won that be moving out. He's on a big money. I don't think he's good enough to get in our team anymore. I don't... And I don't see the team being almost built round him because he's not good. Like you just said before, some players are genuinely good enough that if you take one aspect of the game away, they've got other things to offer. I don't... If he isn't banging them in from 30 yards, what does he offer us? It's Seppie. We haven't... I don't think we've scored off of Seppie from him. Certainly. I can't think of one off the top of him yet. He hasn't scored a direct three-kick for us at all since he's been here for two and a half years, nearly three years' show for me. It's one of them. Let's just... Before we go on, let's just look at Pickford's numbers. Yeah. Six, five, punches, zero. Run-out. I don't even know what a run-out is, but... I'm sure it's coming out of collectable. That's what I'm saying. Okay. Touch is 59. That seems massively high. I mean, he's got 59 more than. That's bigger than that, both 30. Accurate passes... 66%. But you will get that there. Of course, I mean, that's not... That's not there. Long passes, long balls, and because he's 34 out of the... And there you go. 50% acuracy. I mean, five saves. Like I say, you know, we've seen... We've seen Job and Pickford have worse games than he had yesterday. It was just... It's just those key moments. That's just for me. I mean, this and we went to no doubt. But then the manager... What I liked about this was the manager... Listen, what else was he going to do? But the manager made subs, didn't he? And in the subs, it was almost like, if I can't get across what I want you to do, then I'm making subs that will... Not only will I make subs that do what I'm asking, but they have to do because I'm bringing two forwards on. So therefore, we have to play in a different way because Moise Keane isn't going to start running backwards. No, no. Woker's not going to start running... Like, the subs really dictated how we played. And I thought that was really good as well, because far too often, you make subs who are just like for like. And just do what.  But the subs, they did genuinely. We couldn't play any other way. We had to play it like that. And I also thought it was one of those occasions where... When you know that they're making subs, the right players came off.  The shiggards were really poor and came off. They were the right decision. You know what I mean? You weren't going. Why is he taking them off? It was like, yeah. Yeah, he's the right one. And ironically, or ironically, interestingly, Britsialasyn was just about to come off for Anthony Gordon when he's good. Because he'd been poor as well. He just looked naked. And I love Britsialasyn. And he runs around. He tries his very best even when he's playing poorly. He's still a threat. It was just that. There was a couple of times checking off. He picked the ball off when he was running. He didn't have anything to go past it. He just didn't look sharp. And anyone who's ever played football now, that the tiredness doesn't start in your legs. It's starting in your head. Yeah, but that's... You don't see things that... When you're fit and when you're sharp, it's just all there. And as soon as you get tired, you just start making really hard. And this is another reason with Tom Davis, I think, why he's being caught lately in possession. I think he's tired. And I don't... People are looking at that and go, it was a footballer. I don't mean it. It's all that skateboarding buzz. Yeah. I don't... Those shoots are really heavy. They are. The Christmas Day shoots, I don't mean it like that. Like, oh, bless them. But what the reality is, Everton have played a lot of games in December whether we want to make excuses for them or not making excuses. But at some stage, things will guarantee... Once we played Thursday, we played Saturday and we played Wednesday. We've had three games in six days. We played a lot of games already, building up to that. And some games, don't forget, we've only had like the early 13. Duncan had a couple of benches that I've had after kids. And so, this to me was just a game too many against what you said before, someone who keeps the ball so well.  And they had the day before. And you come back. Don't forget as well. Play is way in fit. No. When, you know, when silver... They're way in fit. They're way in fit. So, therefore, you're going to get tired quicker. Duncan's tried, at start of the process, at getting them to run a bit. But they're running more now than they were doing. So, they're also going to be tired. And it's difficult to get fit. I mean, to get the energy levels, the stores at this time of year. But they're way in fit. They're going to get tired quicker. And the accumulation of games. And, you know, having that, that means is it's... It's why I made five changes for both games. It's trying to keep it fresh because you understand that legs are the most important thing at this time of year. And you're trying to stave off getting injuries as well by keeping players fit. But, I mean, the one thing you'd say, like a positive part of it, we stuck to the task. You know, we could have folded even worse when we went too down. We did not. We got a goal. You know, the goal itself is good from the point of view that you tune it down and you're still chasing it. They're asking about with it. Bravo, right? Bravo. Before this happened, before this goal happened, he played a pass backwards. How did goalkeepers play backward passes? There was someone behind him. But do you know what though? The goal. So obviously we've got woke up pushing up, got the charlots on pushing up, Moise Keane pushing up, Don pushing up. And suddenly you've got four. And this is what if you've got a fresh side where you can do damage to a team-like city. And we've seen that before, especially when Bravo was the goalie funny enough and like John Stones and stuff. But he kicks it out, put the charlots on to it, throws a leg in, and it's those little things, those little things that allow you. And it's like, it's things that we weren't doing in the game, challenging for headers, just to put other people off. Like you said before, yeah, he meaning going off for the header, someone just jumps in. He can't beat them in the air.   The charlots on throws a foot in. We get the ball, Moise Keane keeps it alive and the box does really, really well. The other one got it. So we've got four players in the box. So if it drops, they don't get a chance to clear it. Woke up put a ball across the box. And the charlots is the back post I'm putting in. And suddenly you're backing again then. And it's because of those tactical changes. And it's about that, but it comes down to, to are you brave enough? And having those players on the pitch meant we had to be brave because they weren't going to do anything else. Do you think we should have at the start of the game, we should have just, because I thought, I don't mind us having, we'll have a way of playing under Carlo Ancelotti, right, as we go forward. And we'll have players who will buy better players and will play with a slightly different style. But I would have gone and used a little bit more long ball tactics for this one to miss the midfield out because the midfield is good no matter what the point. It's incredible and gone the one. I'll just bang it. But this is where, this is actually a good point. Did Ancelotti need a game like this to address the issues in the squad? Because what it does, it tells you, doesn't it that? It tells you that who's willing to make those sacrifices who's brave enough to win there. And you're absolutely right, but about going long. But when we're going long because we did go long a few times. But every time we went long, and we mentioned this before, only Don went and Rogiarlasen backed them up. And it was very easy for City to play out.  And then City be shot. It's no good having one press, one person press because you play round them and then it draws the next one out and you play round them. I think, I'm not saying he needed a game like this because he don't want to see it, but it was a reality check and the fact that he's standing on the touch line telling players, move up, push up, get higher, he'll know now I think for some of them and you've got to add the tiredness factor into it. But he'll be looking at going. Some players out there who are good players but they don't fit what I want. I want brave players because when you go into that champions league level you watch every footballer and especially in the latter stages and players are prepared to take it. Under pressure. Under pressure.   And they're prepared to run at people and they're prepared to do dangers because that's what wins games of football. Being high up, swarming, pressing, being comfortable in possession. It's doing the safe thing, doesn't get you anywhere in football at the highest level. It doesn't do anything. So he'll be looking at that going. I need to buy players who are brave enough to know they can get up the pitch and then get back. And as you've got four or five of them in your team, it makes a hell of a difference. You know, you just mentioned my charlison there. He will try and take people on whether he's tired or he's fully fit. And sometimes we criticise them for it because you're just like, why have you done that again? But it's that winning mentality that allows them to do the dirty work as well as the good work. And we need more of that.  Oh, well, I just think he didn't have a very good game. He looked tired, but, you know, we showed that he's a goal threat again. He was coming in right on the back and he smashed her into the roof of the net. You're backing the game. There was that next bit that where you're seeing the tiredness, though, that we didn't really stretch them enough. We had, you mentioned it before, we had a couple of opportunities. We got a corner. Don't have the header that just went, we could have gone anywhere. It went wide. But there was an opportunity to put balls into the box. And we had one with Shidaby, Tom Davis, just throw it in, we turned and gone back to the halfway line. That was the hesitation. I mean, mwy's keen at the off with the volley. You should have just pulled it on. Confident wise, I think he'd let it hit him and then it was shot. But he's probably in his head. And I saw what I liked it. Well, he made a decision. I like the fact that he has gone, this is going to go topping. I'm going to leave it up for that. But it just didn't come off. But you like, you come to the end and you've got Shidaby. You've got a few times had four or five chances just to whack a ball in. It's a man in the box, sure. But he's terrified that, if he doesn't get it right, he'll get it wrong day by day. They're back on that your last chance.  And he normally is, isn't he? Yeah, but I think it's an infectious thing that I think as well at times. It's like, you've got to be brave. You've got to be risk, to risk your own. You've got to be prepared to send your goalie up for the McConnor in the last minute and all that kind of thing. Yeah, yeah. And I just don't think, mentally, this team's quite there yet to do that. I don't think it's anywhere near that because I think it's always, and this is where that thing of like looking over your shoulder. Be manager for 10 days. No, no, no. It's that thing of looking over your shoulder and worrying about what's coming up behind you rather than going, God, if we get a three-point today, we could be in the top six, top seven. And it's, and I don't think any, and everything seems to add that mentality for a while of they're always like, ooh, you know, it's seven to eight. And that's why we always finish seven to eight. Gary never mentioned this last year. He said everything's great. He's, you know, they look good and blah, blah, blah. So I was in the scene and he said, well, they just don't have that thing. They don't have that killer thing. And that's what I mentioned before about Leicester. You look at Leicester at the moment, you go, Leicester, I've got that. Leicester, I've got that. Doesn't matter if Vardy's playing, doesn't matter. You know, you see Madison, Yes, these goals, great. But then that Charlie comes on. It's his first ever goal. He rattles one in, top corner. But they're on it, they're confident. But that doesn't say, you know, it's that, it's that willingness to take risks. They've got people, they've a valuable 4-0. Man City have done them 3-0. But they're just like, it doesn't matter. Three-one. Yeah, whatever. Doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, we, we, we... We get back to winning ways, it's confidence, isn't it? And we've, we've had it really. We've just gone to Newcastle and won a tough game. Whether people say... You know what I mean is, though, is, when Leicester played City, even though they got B-3-1, they took the lead through Vardy and they were willing to keep going and going and going. And they just, that's what I'm saying. It's about, it's about becoming that team that when you get one-nil up, you don't go, oh, everyone. I think too long, everyone have been that team that go, oh, one-nil up, oh, well all. But we've, if you look at like last season, when André go home, he's got it in the shed. He's a player that's played in the Champions League. He's a player that's played in the top. Oh, I think he'll flourish, don't you think? Oh, we will. But the reason why we were all like, oh, my God, look at this player, cos he is brave and he does take the ball and that's just normal for him. And it's like you've just said, they're the players we need to target now. We've got good players around, but the centre of the park, he mentioned it before, but Leicester, he's got him dirty, he's brilliant, he's got salmons, he's really good. Madison's got a good shot on him. He's a good footballer. He's all right. He's a good footballer. He's decent, he's not. But he's a good footballer. But I think in our team, he'd look ordinary, in our team, because he hasn't got that. No, but he's a... What he is, is... One thing, though. I think it's like... But he's a good footballer. I know what you're saying. But he's a good footballer. So the players around will complement. And you've got Chardry, who's come on, and now he's only got his first come, but he can get about the pitch, the strong. What about... We haven't got it. Would you take Jack Reales? No, honestly, though. Me, I'm not a lover of him. Why not? I just know. I just think he's another one. It's... It's the socks, innit? The socks and the hair are the biggest sheet for me. The biggest sheet. I think the hair's great. I think I don't trust anyone with the hair. I think he's... I know he's more brave for it, though. No, that's the one to eat these... He has got that arrogance of I'll have the ball in and I'll do it. No, I don't mean. I don't mean. In a bad way, you mean it. I mean, what I mean is I'll keep doing it. Even if it's shoot and I'll keep trying. That's what we talked about, innit? It's funny. He'll still do it. It's funny just because... I'm not like... I'm just... You know, recently I've seen him and how he has got that bravery for it, you know. He's tucked it, he's a captain. Yeah, yeah. And that's what I'm saying. It's just that... He is a bit like with Charleston where it's like, I'm prepared to take that on. I'm prepared to take that on. But he's doing it in the most important place on the pitching centre of the park. And I just think that's what we're missing. We're missing that player. In midfield, he's just going to go... I'm driving the bus today. I'm driving that bus. And I'm going to be up and down. I'm going to be everywhere.  And there's not many... We don't have anyone like that, really. I mean, as I say, with Charleston, we'll do that. I think Tom Davis tries to do it, but he's not quick enough. He's not quick enough. So it's great trying to do it. And what he's got to learn is when he's gone past the face, man, pop it off and then make it get it back. I'd love to see us get. I'd love to see us get. Well, I'd love to see us get someone in midfield who's got the legs and the belief and then put some of the Gomez in there. And suddenly just see where that takes us. And we don't know what the balance is going to be on it. I was going to say that. We don't know. If you look at him, he's quick. He's 6-4-4. Can play it long and short. He looks a good player. We don't know whether it... I was checking last night and he got injured on the 15th of October and he said he was going to be out for three months. So it's in a couple of weeks time. He should be back training. We should be in with the team. He should be. Although it only takes about four months to get over that injury. So I mean, I thought it was interesting that. The beginning of February. The players bit. Sorry, I haven't been sweeted looking forward to seeing you back. And now Gomez. Gomez was on a bike in he. But he was on a... He was fully lycred up on the bike. On the old Peroton. I'm not interested in a pity of him. I'm not a new analyst of women. I'll be love on it, won't be. The new analyst look like a male model and you've got Gomez. He looks like. It's awesome. I think you see from this. No, he's not on a bench. Now, listen to... I've seen a lot of...  Cus it's obviously still airy likes a bit. But you say whined up.  Metering on wine, you're messing. But I've seen a lot of stuff on social media. A lot of nonsense and stuff.    We lost to Man City. Okay, it wasn't our first team. It wasn't our first team. They squad is fitter and better than us. We've used it every year. So we have to... When we walked out of Hanfield, when everyone walked out of Hanfield at night, everyone, everybody would have took one defeat in the next six league games. They would have. We've got ourselves 10th in the other 11th in the league. It's not great, but it's better than it was. We've got a new manager or a well-classed manager who's been in post for nine days or 10 days. Just let it play out. It's a... You've got to lose games, aren't you? Got Sunday. And then after that then... It's a game a week then for a week. I know we've got new castle but then after we play new castle, we've got a break, hasn't it? We've got a break for that new winter break. So... By man, I'm just setting shelf after Liverpool and sitting down and talking about bringing reinforcements in. And then they're going to have a week to prepare for games but until maybe the next... If we win... And it's not even just... It's not even preparing. It's resting as well. And resting. It's resting is the most important thing. Getting players back, knowing what your best team is, not having to make five changes every game and coming up with something. And the other thing as well is that when we're saying resting and people... I do see this, people will go, the professional football are tired. They want to do work in a factory and all that. I get that. I'm not saying in the grand scheme of things that... But what I mean is when you've got a... We were just talking in the football world and we know that the football world's nonsense. So let's just talk about that. In the football world, we haven't got a team that is quick enough to get about the pitch. So what you have to do with the complements of players we have available in the midfield especially, those players have to not be tired to be able to compete. And if they haven't had a week between games and they've got the ability to get about the pitch, they will win a lot of football matches. Can I just say I can't take anybody seriously who doesn't think that tiredness is a factor in football. I just can't take anyone seriously who thinks that a sum of money makes you not tired. I just can't. No, but I'm just saying. No, I know, but I can't. The minute anyone comes into a conversation and says, well, I just love the fact that, like what, like they're sleeping on it. Like it gives you like some kind of extra... Super power. Super power when you sleep on it. It does not matter. Yeah, a bit like that. Yeah, a bit like the Arlands. The Arlands FC. The Arlands FC does not. No, but they've got a special drink apparently. After. Oh, apparently they've got a special drink. Well, why doesn't everyone have the specialty? Because only some German fella came up with it. Of the Elixir. Apparently they've got the Elixir of Life apparently. It seems like they have. It's playing 96 minutes every day, 95 minutes. They're amazing. When everything... No, anyone who says that tiredness can be cured by money is just mad. It's just mad. It can't. Players, players. What money does allow you to do is try and be the best that you can be, right? So, if you need to put the extra work in, to be fit, then you do that. And that's fine. That's great. But it does not stop you from being tired. You can't tell me. The charlison at Newcastle was running through brick walls in that game. And then three days later, he's struggling at Man City. It does not matter how much money he's got or a new contract or whatever. It's caught up with him. It caught... You could see it. Oh, it burns my head out. It is what it is. But what people have to keep in mind, bear in mind, is it was Manchester City as well. And it was probably realistically one game too many. If it had been playing Newcastle Saturday, playing Man City next Saturday, it might have been a little bit of a different story. We might have been able to get a bit closer to them or whatever. But it is what it is. We're going to lose games of football because they're better than us. That's the way it is. Man City are better than us. They've all identified why they're better than us. And it's where we've got a new manager place now. He's a well-classed manager. The point being is you come off a defeat like this and you go through all the tapes and start analysing where the problems are.  We need to work on that. I've looked at this. Jordan Pickford, see that shot? Can you do better? Can you do better?  We're going to do start doing more. We've identified a weakness. You learn a lot more from defeating your team. We've identified a weakness. You dance to your right or dance to your left wherever you're going to start working on it every day. If the player will have to go, I haven't got a weakness. Well, that's the case. Exactly. That's really interesting. I'm reading Antielotti's book now. It's brilliant. It's absolutely brilliant. But it's Latin. There's a chapter in it for him. Tell me more. Right. And it's amazing. Latin's amazing. And he's said especially Antielotti's the best manager he's ever worked for. I mean, there's a line in it that basically he's said if you get a team, I will play anywhere apart from Russia. Okay.  And we were there. For everything in one, apparently. But he's talking about him, Antielotti, and how you keep people fit. And how Antielotti does this and does that to the analysts and what he'll work on and how he gets the best out of everyone. And it's just dead interesting when he talks about the psychology of him and how he keeps all the players happy and how they all love him. But one of the things he says, which is my original point, is he talks about leaders. And he talks about players who are top players. And he says, top player will take the criticism. He said Antielotti would criticise me because he knew I could take it. He said I didn't answer back and I wouldn't offer an excuse. If he said to me, you didn't do your job today, I'd just take it because I'd know he was right and be I'm big enough to accept. Or he said and he's seen it with defenders. He'll go, it was my fault for that goal. I'm to blame. He said they're not trying to hide. He said players who were weak or who haven't got that confidence or whatever will make excuses as to why. There was an error in it. And if Pickford didn't, this is my point, what you just said, if Pickford wants to be the very best and is a big enough character, all making the whole gate or yet he meaner if his users behind them will go, that was my fault and I'm going to work harder. Cos that's how you become a top, top player. If you're always going, wasn't my fault? That was him. Now, if you look at it again, I don't need to work harder. You go, it's my fault. Was it my fault, gaffer? Yeah, like I look at it again and you look at it and you're old, you're random. If you give up all the way and someone scores, that's why go disdan that time. I'll say disdan is a well class defender but disdan come over and was like that to the fans after when that was me and when now it was me or whatever you'll say for other people. Like I see Williams giving it that. You know what I mean and I just thought it was really interesting and it's like any of the game of it. She's one of the top players in the world and has been. I was like, yeah. Are you ever going to get better if you're not willing to understand what your shortfalls are? You know what I mean? Are you ever going to get better if you... Someone goes, you can improve on this and you say no. Then how are you ever going to improve? If you say do I, am I? And if the very best tell you what your shortfalls are, then you're going to go and he says, yeah, but I'm going to make you brilliant. And that's what you do, isn't it? Talk to Ronaldo, does the chapter in the back. It's really good, like, but Ronaldo said the best manager he's ever worked for. Said amazing and he tells you things you listen and, you know, sometimes you go, oh, okay.  It's really interesting when top players, like those two top players are saying he's the best manager ever, this bunch of players need to take every little bit of advice that he can get from him and his analysts and all of that to improve. And if we do that, we'll go in the right direction. Disappointing. We've lost the game, you know, and it's how we bounce back. Okay, you've got a tough game on Sunday as well, and you have to pick up where I'm looking ahead of that anyway to the likes of Brighton because I think we've got a block of fixes now that if we're fit and we work hard, we can get a lot of points that'll take us closer to the European places rather than looking the other way. Because I think that's how we have to look. There's no point to us going, oh, God, we're five points off relegation. We should be looking and going, we're five points off the team. Well, not the team, we're five points off the Europa League here. And there's a hell of a lot of games at a place so let's look at it that way. Definitely. Look at it that way. Definitely. There you go. Let us know what you think. Have you just consigned this one to one of them things? Disappointing but there was reasons or are you one of the Evertonians or a ffumin? Fiorius, Wickarlo Antelotti. Should have got mwys and all of that. And let us know in the comments section below. I'll give the video a thumbs up, subscribe if you haven't, if you want more videos, join us on Patreon. O dod yn anha, happy new year upwards and onwards with Carlos Blues. See you later.


So team keep it clean. What's going well y'all already know what's going on The Ravens John Harbaugh put out a statement Letting the world know that the Ravens have fired wink mark. Well, let me not use that word because Harbaugh doesn't use that word So I can't use that word Harbaugh and wink they came to a mutual agreement They both decided that after these couple of years has been some successful seasons and whatnot But they decided to both go their separate ways Hashtag hood Harbaugh or we see a big dog And it was a shocker to me. I was very very surprised didn't see it coming at all did not see that happening I really thought that everybody was going to be given the pass but apparently not and Since we're not giving out passes That can't be the last move that the Ravens make It cannot it should not be and hopefully it will not be I Really thought going into this offseason that started a lot earlier than we would have wished but it's okay going into this offseason We Figured that everybody was gonna be given an injury pass like all those guys hurt All right. Yeah, even though we don't want the pass to be given but okay, they give the pass All right, let's roll with it. All right, but Raven said nope They said nope and see this this is this move is For all those Ravens fans that did not want them in the playoffs Not because they felt they couldn't compete Which I know a lot of people did feel but because they felt like if the Ravens were to make the playoffs With this roster with this team with this coaching staff and they felt like there would be no change And really when you think about it That was a good point and because it's not even just a hindsight 2020 thing because when people said that I was like, oh, yeah I could understand. I still wanted them to make the playoffs But looking back at it if they gonna be making some serious changes I ain't too mad right now I'm really not but again It cannot stop with wink. It can't That cannot be the end all be it's not like I wink. He's fired Problem solved. All right, we're good to go. No, you're not Now something crazy that I've been hearing I Saw that I forgot who it was. They said that Vic Fangio was a candidate for defensive court I'm like, what do you think he's coming here gonna work on the hot ball? Then I saw some people suggesting. Oh, maybe Rex Ryan should come back in You think he wouldn't work under hope Well, maybe he does cuz his brothers there too, but then of course there was Cullen who was defensive coordinator for the Jaguars There's Anthony Weaver who's a defensive line coach for the Ravens. There's um, I want to say Hewitt I know I'm saying his last name wrong, but he's the current linebacker coach Ravens got some options They could go outside or they could promote from within I think they'll end up promoting from within but we'll see because This could be I wonder if this is a EDC move was a hardball move and The reason I asked that question is because if it was a hardball move Well, it would still be Him getting a call from either Bishadi or EDC saying a It's timing so something has got to give and If you don't want it to be you then you better make some tough decisions and fast and The hardball in them they they put out this statement that pretty pretty did up It is soft in the blow it sugarcoated it so wonderfully But wink was fired now Something that's been very strange to me That I just I don't understand is how people have been saying they think that The Ravens fire wink now because he may have a head coaching opportunity now I just I don't understand that because he's a defensive coordinator for the Ravens and Unless we don't forgot he ain't got nothing on his schedule right now Ravens ain't got to prepare for nobody Because they're not in the playoffs. So his schedule is literally wide open So why would him being a defensive coordinator for the Ravens? Why would him still being on a team prevent him from taking a head coaching job if offered the opportunity So when people said that I just I didn't understand But if y'all have some other way that y'all are thinking about that Please explain it in the comments because I would really love to see it because I just I just don't get that I don't understand that Because there again, it was literally there were literally be nothing holding him back now on the flip side Only way I could see that would be if the Ravens could be using a possible Somebody possibly being in a rested in wink to be a head coach They could be using that as sort of leverage for them to help escort him out and they'd like a wink Hey, you you go be a head coach somewhere big though Wait, we hope you go out there and kill it as a head coach. Go do your thing. We know you can do it That would be the only reason But other than that it just it doesn't make sense to me but again when can't get a pass G don't own deserve a pass either and Somebody else who doesn't deserve a pass is Hobbs Now we know when it comes to the head coach and the offensive and the defensive coordinator It's the head coach that has the most leeway. He has the sort of longest leash so to speak and he has the the best Job security out of the three. I don't even really like to use that word because he got one year left on his deal one year left So this this could be it, but I'm sure as we've said before even before this whole firing We said that we are sure that the Ravens front office had the conversation with John Harbaugh like look man. This is it This is it. We ain't putting up with none of the foolishness. We ain't gonna tolerate none of the nonsense This is it. It's all on you John. It's all on you So we'll see Now another thing that I've been seeing people say is that One of the reasons that the Ravens may not have fired Greg Roman yet At least as of this recording But they haven't fired Greg Roman yet is because they may have their eye on somebody who's currently in the playoffs Now that would make sense to me either Because if you got your eye on somebody who's in the playoffs, wouldn't you want to get a head start on? On Interviewing that candidate on possibly bringing that candidate on or not bringing them on because they'd be in a playoffs But getting the process rolling. I think that they would it would only make sense. All right So I just I thought that that was just weird now a Lot of people are afraid of change A lot of people are scared of change for change is one of the things that you do the most in life And it's part of a growth process You you cannot literally do the same thing every single day the same way every single day and expect to grow Even like even the magic just imagine when you were a baby Take it back to when you were a baby Are you still walking around in diapers right now? Well, if you may be having a rough situation Olden past couple days might have something bad to drink so but besides that on a normal on a normal occasion Are you walking around in diapers?  That's a growth. That's part of the growth process So it's the same way in adulthood. It's the same way and I fail Change is part of growth.  I think I think I almost think some people put this like illusion in their head That they fear if Greg Roman was to leave They're scared if Greg Roman was to leave. Oh, man What's gonna have you really want Lamar Jackson have to get another offensive coordinator? Oh, man Do you don't want to Joe flag on him? Do you? Lamar Jackson his first offensive coordinator was Marty morning waker and He got that offensive core. He was the offensive coordinator going into the 2018 season But Lamar came in they changed up a lot of the offense for him to suit him and the Ravens did their thing Then he was They he declined that job offer he declined the job offer and He went his separate way from the Ravens Remember, I can't say the word fire cuz you know, but anyway So then he had he had to change offensive coordinators. Can you believe that Lamar Jackson had to change offensive coordinators? And from his rookie to his sophomore season. Oh my goodness and what happened how bad did Lamar Jackson do? Oh, well, he just won a little MVP a little unanimous MVP. Oh, man, wow So this fear that people almost instilling themselves if the Ravens were to move off from Greg Roman You should not be scared of that at all It should be excited Now will it happen I think it should and again, how ball need to put up be put on notice as well He doesn't need to be fired. You don't need to be fired But again philosophy change remember Philosophy change and you know what why we're speaking about philosophy Let's see this this tweet that got put out about one of the reasons why this move came about Came from Aaron Wilson who used to cover the Ravens back in the day. I remember Aaron Wilson anyway He said philosophical differences led to Ravens parting ways with defensive coordinator, Wink Martindale per league sources On here, we've been talking about how the Ravens need a philosophy change Somebody over at owing's meals is getting it. They get it. They understand They see the vision they see what we see Somebody over there at owing's meals with we in tune my friend and I appreciate you It's a slow process. It's been a slow process and you could speed it up. You got the power to speed it up You just got to make it happen Just got to make it happen. Will you? We'll keep being patient and see But again, this this this cannot be the end of Change for the Ravens. It should not be and hopefully it will not be Now wink. We know wink is gonna land on his feet. No problem. No issues that we know he will he will be just fine for sure So shout out to winker and shout out to him again being a people's coach a cool coach very um What's the word to describe it a very confident coach very confident his confidence was through the roof Sometimes it did come back to bite him. No, obviously the whole sacks being overrated, but then you think about even this year Um, oh man, I do Joe Burrow. He doesn't have a gold jacket Don't have no gold jacket like what? Joe Burrow said oh really I'm gonna make you think that I got a gold jacket 500 burrow. Oh and and what made it worse He had already lit the Ravens up The first time and and wink hadn't made any crazy comments back then so Joe Burrow already lit us up back then So then with less corners with less defensive guys with more guys injured He made those come when he made those comments. I was like yikes wink That's No, don't do that my friend Those bangles were healthy. We were not and even when we were healthier. We still got got.  Anyway So, yeah, we'll see what's next We'll see what's next. We got to be patient wait this thing out and just let the process play yourself out and hopefully like more people will be Very soon so Ravens can really get that philosophy change going I'm out

This could be a big break for you Rebel you're in this one, too. What team do you have? Where are you on this list? Oh, you're just spectator. No, all good.

There's Brett Beatty Leading us off that goes to the Metropolitan's that'll be for Armando No, I didn't why didn't word it right rebel? I didn't worry. I remember all card ship and that you're on Alvarez We'll definitely ship that goes to the Astros crystal art So all of these cards right here like the Rizzo the Anderson that everything ships the atomic verlander ships and a redemption For a for everybody for bragging rights anybody want to guess that guess that redemption Luis Robert not atomic is what they call it. That's what tops calls it and there's Carmen Carmen going to Derwin and the Pirates Can't mix it up with break 11 that doesn't make sense this is break 12 boonie. What's going on? See boonie. I had a good Christmas. It has been a while. I appreciate the the holiday wishes Merry Christmas to you too Josh wants that Torkelson Pat's thinking Padres redemption Ryan case and it are you guaranteed a card if I buy transcend straight up You're guaranteed something If you buy a spot straight up you are guaranteed something it's not might not be a card It could be a cut auto could be a whole set of base cards. It could be one autographed card It could be a VIP invite But you're guaranteed something out of that case and the list of things are I think are in there in the description I think There should be 50 50 autograph so there's a big sleeve with autos will open that up and then there's individual autos Which could be one of ones or at least out of 25 I think something like that But there'll be 50 autos plus eight separate things Those eight separate things are kind of the nicer things Although if you get a one-of-one of a hot rookie in that in that set as well That could be pretty huge too You recently ended up with a Chuck Norris baseball so it can't get any weirder No, this this they play this one a little more straight transcendent They play a little more straight the non baseball like cut autographs could be like Abraham Lincoln John Quincy Adams Jesse Owens so the cut autos could be pretty crazy And I think they only made like less than a hundred cases Chuck Norris went to your high school Forgot that's what I forgot they do it from around here Does he had does he ever go back and like talks right now? He's like some screw it Screw no torrents All right, you are due to receive a best of 2020 autograph blue refractor parallel Shun Yamaguchi for The Toronto blue I don't even have to mark the redemptions for the Toronto blue Jays that'll be for Steve right All right, I got Lindor to 99 Maybe some others have there been some Lindor trade rumors and there's Everson Pereira Maybe to the Yankees That's for the Bronx bombers Chris Gerard Was the door to 99 for Cleveland Cleveland. This is for you There's Andrew Vaughn Chicago White Sox Alder Smith. I am I'll see you tomorrow, man Louise Robert nice insert remember all card ship and 26 out of 99 Tyler Soderstrom Going to Coppola and the athletics Javrams, what's going on? Yeah, the podger.  There's Dylan Carlson to 150 There is Antonio Cabello for the Yankees Chris Gerard. What if you think about it? Javrams What did the podgers really add you Darvish and Blake's sound? That's it part of me part of me kind of wants the Dodgers to not win the division this year, you know So, I know they could they could just have a little additional like hunger in the playoffs.  All right next box. There's Trey Mancini to 25 There's Josh Stomach for the Royals Chris Trey Mancini for the Royals Chris Gerard And there's Jaren Duran Duran Duran Duran Duran going to Coppola and the Red Sox We'll have to see what the what what the Dodgers do To add to their team there's Zach Veen nice 87 out of 150 for the Rocks Chris Gerard with the Colorado Rockies And it's been a long time since I've seen TNT cut away from a game and go to another game on a Tuesday night There's Gavin Lux. See we Get a full season of Gavin Lux. There's Garrett crochet That'll be an interesting addition to the Dodgers David Price will finally You know took a took a season off So he should be raring to go I'm sure he'll be hungry to do well You've got Dustin made Hulu Urias with another Season and part of a season and an intense playoffs bubble playoffs kind of under their belts Some intense World Series action under their belts. They've got some more experience. I guess that's the it's the luxury of the Dodgers, right? sure Obviously Blake Snell well-established former Cy Young Winnery great in the playoffs. He's really good Maybe he shouldn't have been pulled from a World Series game or two against the Dodgers that might have been you know, so You Darvish had an incredible season last year. What second in Cy Young voting? There's definitely no slouches, but but I mean Walker Bueller Got yet another year of experience under his belt I mean he could be on a Cy Young trajectory this year David Price in the mix Clayton Kershaw still solid in the regular season when healthy Hulu Urias Dustin May. I've mentioned this earlier this summer And before when the when the Chargers there's Nolan Gorman nice Chris Gerard with the Cardinals. I mentioned this when the Chargers moved up to LA I was like listen Padres are the only game in town if I'm Padres ownership I Am doing everything possible to make it a Padres town like they're the only pro sports game in town That means I'm spending money on this guy, you know, you're bringing up guys like to tease junior You're adding Darvish and Blake Snell to the top of that rotation. You're getting butts in ballpark in the ballpark There's Trent Christian. They got Trent Christian last year or two You know, you want them if I'm the owner of the Padres I want to be the only pro game in town the pro game in town I mean, you have the monopoly you have the pro sports monopoly You don't have to share with any other pro sports team You know, I think the Padres are doing the right thing even if they're mortgaging some of their prospects in the future And even then I don't think they really moved a lot in that respect. There's Kapole in the A's just really just Just make the most exciting thing in San Diego. It's Baseball City, you know Chris Bryant went to the University of San Diego. There's Mauricio Dubon Tony Gwynn coached San Diego State for a long time, you know, so There is love for baseball out there Mauricio Dubon going to Coppola in the Giants so I think the Padres from a You know non Dodger fan from but just a baseball fan perspective. I think the Padres are doing exactly what they need to do Randy, what's up? Joe? I broke myself from my 1996 no rarity Charizard addiction What do you mean?  It's a tough chase Trying to get way back into sports car. Check jazby's case breaks calm Randy Transcendent should be a fun one to get into Get a nice hit out of there. I'll get you back on track. A clipper should move back to San Diego I don't think that's gonna happen. I think that I think the clippers and that ownership is looking to make a new arena near the Forum where the where so fi is where the Rams and chargers play. I think that ball is rolling I think they'll probably have an environmental impact report in about a year or two They'll break ground there as quickly as possible. I think There's Kate Kavelli for Greg and the Nats There's a Heston Kirkstad to 99 That'll be for the O's. That's gonna go to Chris Gerard and a Patrick Bailey 70 out of 99 Giants autograph Going to I Coppola my rivals And there's Andres Munoz for the Padres. That's Alex Alex V with the Friars No, LA. I think we'll always be we'll always be Lakers It's Patrick Bailey to 150. I mean even if the Clippers win a championship which they probably should with With the team they're constructing there with Kawaii and Paul George. I think I think you would definitely be a Disappointment if they didn't at least make a finals appearance. They're Shohei Otani Nice power producers autograph. That's for Chris Gerard Nice 58 out of 99 Sticker Otto, but still nice. I think I've discussed this with some people before that why not make Otani a closer? You don't burn out his arm And then you could probably DH him pretty much every day But yeah Clippers.  Hey, it's always been a Lakers town and Probably always will be but they had a chance last year you know what I mean if if they had like If they I mean they just didn't have that bad collapse in the playoffs and actually played the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals maybe went to seven games and maybe even win juice Seven games, but with the way they lost and with the way the Lakers won those two things combined I think it did a lot of damage to the Clippers attempts to gain fans I think it'd be one thing if the Lakers may be lost in the finals, you know, and then maybe they're be okay, but but I think Brand-wise whatever new fans that they were trying to get Kind of kind of rough. I don't think they didn't didn't really do anything too exciting in the You know in the off-season You know, which was also whatever But and they got blown out by like a zillion points the other night that doesn't help either Out of 250 Christian Yelich for the Brewers. I think I see a nice autograph coming up you guys and girls the Yelich is for Rory and the Brewers and an on-card autograph of Jason Dominguez the Martian He's supposed to be really good Chris Gerard. I've heard of him Nice Bowman's best on-card autograph. I could see him getting a maybe a cup of coffee this year Definitely minors because the minor league season last year is pretty much interrupted. He might be playing some Some winter ball somewhere, but there's Austin Hendrick For the Reds that's gonna go to EA in the Red Licks And another Zach Veen for Chris and the Rockies and we got another Brett Beatty for Armando and the Mets Mets with new ownership Armando. I could see I could see the Mets You see the Mets making a splash somewhere Either this year or next Yeah, it's for the going back to the Lakers Abrams. Yeah, I was surprised all telling one of the one of the guys here the other night I was just like I think we were watching the Lakers game not last night, but two nights ago And we were I was just like I am surprised that it's rare that a team that wins a championship Can end up getting End up making their team younger and better, right? Trez was was wasn't he six man of the year last year Trez? Pretty sure he was and I think I want to say Dennis Schroeder was second place in six man of the year last year. So to get those two guys on the Lakers Didn't work out yesterday, but I Think I think that team still trying to figure out how to gel together, you know a lot of new faces I think that's great And I think KCP got a couple years got a two-year deal or something like that I feel like that kind of gets him settled down. He's not playing for a contract all the time Maybe not taking bad shots, you know, he's just You can play his game and I he's a lot more comfortable kuzma too. I don't think I don't think kuzma is too worried about you know, you can You can play his game because he's comfortable. He's not playing for a contract He's not forcing shots or trying to get too many points He can be a part of the team now knowing that he's gonna be there for at least two or three years So I think that kind of settles Several players down sometimes it's a good Sometimes it's good motivation if you're in a contract here, I guess we'll see that we see that in baseball all the time, right? But sometimes also being knowing that you're settled. I think it helps a lot of players, too They're people too, you know knowing that hey, I Know where I'm gonna be for a few years at least, you know You can actually kind of settle down There's Emerson Hancock for the Mariners that'll be for Patrick Cologne And the Dylan Cease, well, I see another good autograph coming up here Dylan Cease That is for Oliver Smith and the White Sox There's a Torkelson and here's a nice auto coming up right here. It's Ed Howard Big prospect for the Cubbies that's gonna go to DMACC, Darren McKenzie with the Cubs You go Darren and there's Justin Foskew for Chris and the Rangers It's Austin Meadows to 150 and a Kade Cavalli 37 out of 50 gold autograph for Greg and the Nationals. There's Blake Snell right there Where's Blake Snell? Where is he from? He is from oh, he's a West Coast guy. Yeah, he's from Seattle Yeah, I think he's gonna I think Blake Snell is gonna be enjoying coming back to San Diego Coming back to the West Coast Yeah, as for the Lakers J. Frams. Yeah, I think I think they're gonna they're gonna Take it pretty easy in this first part of the schedule You know, I don't think I don't think seating is as important to them As it was maybe last year where they just kind of want to make a bigger statement But at this point with so much basketball being played and then not played and then played in a bubble and all that sort of stuff And then the season restarting again so quickly. Yeah, I think the Lakers and the organization are definitely like Let's take it easy LeBron and AD you know They'll probably they'll pretty I want to say they'll probably pretty easily be in the top half of the West You got to think and then just just get healthy into the playoffs and then roll from there All right, and of course a little bit of luck Never heard I would love to see I'd love to see Kyle Kuzma kind of grow a little bit. He didn't have a good game last night But he was still what I think you're kind of a fan favorite because he's like a True lady that he was actually drafted by the Lakers, you know, I mean same with Alex Caruso and and Talon Horton Tucker But Kuzma still hustles though that guy still still hustles He could he could go 0 for 5 from 3 You know You'll still you'll still see him like sprint down the other end of the court making blocks and stuff like that There's Austin Hendrick sports betting is getting harder now Randy saying yeah, it is I had some basketball plays but but nope there's Austin Hendrick for the Reds EA I think I'm gonna have to wait until Maybe the second half of the season before I start playing again. There's Nick Solak But yeah, it's tough. I think I was listening to some Some sports betting like industry people Talk on a podcast on a betting podcast or something. They were saying like The college football just throughout the season that the college football handle was really down. There's atomic Nick Solak That's a good one 23 at 25 Especially earlier in the week because kids are getting COVID. You didn't know what games are canceled or rescheduled and stuff like that You know, same with football. It's a lot harder in football You know, imagine if that Browns game was a normal Was a normal game all those receivers would have been there for the Browns and that game would have been fine I didn't need anyone who bet, you know earlier in the week would have been great, you know There's mookie bets to 150 So yeah, I mean basically with something like basketball you pretty much have to wait until like the last Into the very last moment before you fire otherwise just pass Oh nice Nick York For Boston 38 out of 250. That's pretty cool. I think that's the way it's gonna be with basketball, too You don't know who's gonna who's gonna get COVID or whatever in the last, you know, 15 minutes before tip or maybe Maybe the strategy is more second half bets, you know, which which might might be able to find value there You know, you'll know how the teams are playing by the first half and then You can make a second half play that might be Smarter way to do it, but it's kind of a hassle because as far as I know and their last auto is Michael Chavis Another one for the Red Sox. There you go As far as I know, none of you are professional gamblers, right?  I don't got I don't got time for that. I just want to have fun I want to put a little bit of money on a side, you know, the night before watch a game and see what happens But no this pandemic ruined everything be safe everybody. Here's a quick recap pretty solid break Thanks everyone for getting in that Ed Howard back there was nice Zach vene Jason Dominguez as well Ohtani Not a bad break at all Trent Grisham another Zach vene Some color in the autographs.  Thanks very much everybody I'm Joe for Jasper's case breaks calm. Thanks for hanging with us. Thanks for breaking with us. Happy holidays Happy new year. That was pick your team 12. Bye. Bye
