Welcome to ToffeeTV, here's the final word. I'm joined by John Blaine, who was at the game last night, Lincoln City with through John, that's all that matters isn't it really? Well this stage yeah, I mean you get a lower lead team away from home, it was pouring out rain as well and there's many a slip happening in the past, we've been there. I think they shed a bit of fibre yesterday going down so early and then when they got back to 2-2 as well, I think in the past we've found that hard and difficult, but yeah it's just about getting the results. Were you surprised by the team, you made a few changes but obviously you kept Jordan Pickford in goal, like to Michael Keane, like to Snidland, like to Sigarton in the side, any surprises for you? No, no I think it clearly said at his press conference that he was going to respect the competition and all those sorts of things, but I expected him to play a strong team, yeah.  I think the only surprise for me was Tom Davis wasn't involved so I don't know what happened there. But he wasn't in the squad so you don't know whether he was injured or not. But no, I expected him to play a decent team and he did. Yeah it was pretty much around what I thought it was going to be, I thought Tom would play. I was hoping Yerri Mina was going to play because I wanted that sort of solid back, two centre backs on the goalkeeper. But I can understand why he didn't play him, he's probably just trying to make sure that after watching Hall 8, I'd be like I'd rather Hall 8 did play in the league games and Yerri Mina played in the Premier League games because you can see the different levels. So no, and I suppose when you look at the squad we've got now, anything we've put out now looks strong on paper. It does and the bench does, tends to as well. I mean people try and second guess what the manager will and won't do but I would have thought it was nailed on that Keane was going to play, Keane without any. You know Alex was going to play. Right, what's this to do? Sadibi. It was clear he was going to play and then to me he wasn't going to play Sigurdsson and Gomez so somebody was going to come in there. Clearly Delph needed to come in because he was supposed to be fit and he needs to get some minutes and that's fundamentally what he did wasn't it really? Yeah. They were the changes. I think that's the difference isn't it? Well, some people were suggesting, oh you know, Anthony Gordon who played the night before, she was never going to play or Lewis Gibson but... You're not going to do that. You're not going to do that are you? Because there's no, he said he was going to respect the competition and you can make a few changes and keep a strong team. So and with last night's actually some of the changes like you just mentioned, they're Keane and a Wobby. Their players you go, actually their first team is who are, who need that extra bit of fitness. They do, yeah. Who could well be involved on Sunday against Wolves. Indeed, indeed. I mean and it makes it better stroke easier for the manager if you think about it. As fans we're going to throw our teddy out the prem aren't we? If he makes wholesale changes, put out a team which on paper should win and then it doesn't. Yeah. Because that's the manager's fault clearly. And then you've got, you know, the best team in the league always seems to put out a pretty, if not their strongest team but very close to it. So why shouldn't we? Yeah. Particularly as we've looked a bit rusty if you want to use that as a word in the league games up to now. And some of them were really tired last night. I think Richard Lawson was really tired near the end. So games help and of course what we did get out of the game was the miserable so and so that is Richard Lawson scored a goal. Yeah. So that will have helped him a lot. And Dean just furthered the, you know, the emerging legend of an adequate, shall we say, replacement for Mr. Baines? Yeah, yeah. We'll talk more about, say, Luke and Dean in a moment.  No, didn't see it. Didn't see it. No, me and John, we'd been in the Golden Eagle, which was a fabulous camera pup. So we'd had a few beers with one ex.  Vince, we watch as Vince was good to pick a good pub for us to go to. And then when we got in there in good time, 10 or 15 minutes, and we just fancy the burger or something, but they were really slow. Yeah. And probably not used to them. And we're walking across the front as you can there to go to our seats. And we're probably halfway up the steps when behind us they scored. So where to ask people what happened there then? Absolutely typical, wasn't it? Just slow start. Players not come out to block them, looking for the upset. Everyone looking for the upset. You know, Sky even said at the end of the game, unfortunately, we couldn't give you a Lincoln win. I mean, they picked their games for hopefully to get. Of course. West Ham the night before. And to me, it was when I got home, we got home about crosswalk or something. And then you stick Sky on watch it. I was surprised. They goalied at the ball as well in those 20 seconds, haven't they? You know, so it was amazing. It was almost like the punted forward. So DB was a bit naive, I think defensively. I don't know if you're going to talk about him, but that will be interesting. And of course, we go one down. Yeah. It was a poor game. It was a poor game. Goal to conceive. But to be fair to the lad, he took it really well. Took this body up well. Took it really well considering it was in the first minute or so. Yeah. Yeah. One nil down. But then we got a grip of the game. And we started playing it round. Well, it's a cup of coffee, of course it's hot. There's no milk in it, of course it's hot. I know it's hot, yeah. We started playing the ball around really well, started opening them up a little bit, making a few chances. We did, yeah. We just couldn't find that back hill of touch. Again at times, just a little bit too slow, a little bit too safe, a little bit too pedestrian. It is. There needs to be, I think some of these players just need to be, like you said a bit, I know there's rushiness, and then there's the whole thing of, well, the season started. Yeah. You've got to get on with it. Well, what surprised and disappointed me, you know, something with the guys around us was, when we got ourselves sorted and we took the lead, obviously they all got a little bit of a lift from that. Lincoln got a little moderately deflated. I don't know how long it was and whether it showed on TV, but five, maybe ten minutes, whatever it was. We pinged it around really quickly, and they didn't know where to put themselves. And then it was almost like they thought, oh, we've got this. Yeah. And relaxed a little bit. Yeah. And then that's when they got in for the two, two. But we had a few chances, as I said, but it was a Dean, Luca Dean free kick, which brought us back into the game. And Luca Dean, I mean the goal, the free kick itself was, again, watching on TV. They were all expecting. It's funny on TV, like, when people are talking, and they're all building cigots and up. I was just going to say, the close-up, I saw that when I got around, wasn't I? The close-up, cigots and up. They're all building cigots and up, like he's got this amazing free kick record and everything. Couldn't hit a barn door and everything from his free kick, wasn't it? Swansea every week, go, go, go, go. Ever, not one. So obviously Luca Dean stood up, took it, and as soon as it left his foot, it was curling into the score. He scored for his now four goals or something. Oh, five, isn't it? Oh, five with last night, I suppose, yeah. And they're all memorable goals, aren't they? It's just all been fantastic. All outside the box and all top quality. As you said before, he's just replaced Bane without any worries at all now. What I liked about his performance was that when we went to Millwall in the cup, he looked a little bit rattled. He didn't like it. He didn't like playing in a game like that on the night. He made silly files, which they capitalised on. He did get rattled, didn't he? Where as last night, he was none of that at all. He was so smooth all through the game, and it was completely different headspace. Where as at Millwall, which was obviously the last cup game we played in, there was just something on the night. He was just doing silly little things that led to those free kicks, that always gives teams like that the opportunities that they crave, they need. We'll find out, won't we? At the weekend, where the players, because you've got to assume the manager wants them to play with a bit more urgency, a bit more move the ball quickly. Because we've got a good selection there of gifted technical players, and we look better when we're moving it quickly. Oh, yeah. And Richarlison's goal was all about the ball comes to D, and he acutely flicks past their guy. But he just sets himself and crosses it. And Richarlison's done the movement. But if he just saunters off down the wing, has a look, thinks what he's made it, and so on, strikers are making runs back and off, making runs back and off, and so on. So moving it quickly, I think we can challenge any defence doing that. It's linking, come on, but... It's moving it quickly, though. We do seem to have a bit of a blocker there. But let's just have a little look at some of Dean's stat on last night. 95 touches. You've stato now, I am. Goals one, assists one.  Chances create a five. I mean, that's the big thing, isn't it? For the left back, just to meet that many chances, that just shows the level he's on, though. Yeah, apparently Andrew Robertson's worked twice as much as him, so... Don't know that word. Let people think that. Pass, accuracy was 88% as well, which is pretty good. Pretty good. I mean, you want it more in the 90s.  The best left back in the Premier League. Listen, I don't care. I don't care. We can have that argument. People can have that argument all day. I don't care about arguments about that. What I see is we've got a billion left back who's gone. He's been caught up against the France squad today. He should re-establish himself, though, shouldn't he?  He's literally just 26, isn't he? Yeah. Who's next? Giving him another contract. Yeah, yeah. Getting that next something. Successful tackles, three successful dribbles, two interceptions, one. So, not only is he good going forward, he's good defensively as well, which he showed that last night. So, as I said before, I think it's just that level now of... I think in the Premier League, I'm not saying it's easier, because you need more quality. Of course you do.  It's in these games where people get into it. We've seen them last night, all early on, I can't remember the last name, but he's having a goal at Snide in the whole game. Snide fell for it. That's what even weighs. It's when players fall for it. The lad towards the end... Snide to 22, Lewis. The lad who went through with Charleston at the end. Well, he's the fellow who pushed Ciggy over that caused the melee in the goal as well. Doing all this. Doing all this when Charleston had scored and we were winning. And you've just... To be honest, you know, in the Premier League, he couldn't have been sent off at that tackle. It was horrendous. Well, that's what we thought. Horrendous it was. It was at our end of the game. And he was nowhere near the ball. It was pure malice as well. Pure malice, which should be ascending off for me. But that's the difference is that, as I said, going back to that Millwall game, Dean was a little bit naive in that game, whereas I thought last night, cultured it brilliantly. Absolutely brilliantly. And naive is probably... Is he on your board there? Sadebe's not, is he? No. But defensively, naive. Well, we were... I'm just not aware of what's going on. Well, we were talking... I mean, obviously, he made his debut last night. Delth made his debut. Moise King made his debut. And I won't be made his full debut. So obviously, you're chomping at the bit to talk about Sadebe. I thought he started the game poorly. He did. I thought him having a fight with the ball... You went to the game? I thought him having a fight with the ball, but he was brilliant, by the way. I thought that showed a level of... A level that we don't know. The whole team seemed to be keen on it, didn't they? They did last night, yes. Grabbing round players and whatever you went. It was a stand-up for each other. Pickford running the length of the pitch. Yeah, yeah. He's on a new level. But I thought Sadebe grew into the game. He did. And what I thought was... Looked very promising. He... As the game went on, he wouldn't suffer. He wasn't suffering any feels harder. No, he wasn't. He was prepared to go in for things. He wasn't...  Someone coming from the French League, someone playing for Monaco, probably hasn't had that tough. Had had a bad injury last season, by the way, knee injury. But he looked like he was prepared to have a little bit as well. He did certainly. And he showed great promise for me. And grew, as you say, grew into the game. And he'd be all right. He'd be all right. I think he'd be a good backup. And that's why last night was good, I think. The weather, you know, the fact that they were up for it and being snidey on a case and so on. It made it a tough game. I think particularly the guys who needed some match fitness, like Delft, they just looked great, didn't they? Delft. Delft, I thought, looked good. I thought... I thought his ideas were more... were more promising than them actually coming off. A lot of the stuff he tried didn't actually come off. But it was the idea that he was trying it. It will come off when he's fully fit. We already know that he's a good passer to the ball. We know he's a good footballer. He finds space as well. We know he was good enough for Manchester City. Always trying to look forward as well. Always trying to probe, get the ball into the right areas. So if it didn't come off last night, that was all right. But it will come off, I think. That's the most important thing. What did you think of Moise Keane? He's young, isn't he? He's raw, I think. He's probably... Not just last night, seeing it in the other games. He's still at that innocent level of he always wants to try things. But he moves the ball quickly. He's not scared of shooting. And when he hit the post, I mean, it was bang! Yeah. So I think what we can expect is he's going to be used as impact Disney for quite a while, I would think. I can't imagine him starting for a while. No, well, I'm not sure for a while. A while in this game is between now and the international break. But I looked at him last night and thought, are you ready to start against Wolves? And although a lot of people won't want to hear this, but I'm not sure he is ready to start against Wolves. I agree with you. Because... You disagree, sorry. We're here, you're not. And I think the difference is... I think the difference is... Is that... But it will be, is? No, I know. We'll come on to it. I've got pictures and everything. There you've got stats, haven't you? The difference is, the difference is with Moise Keane and Donna Calvin Lewis, Moise Keane's got tricks and he'll get away from people. But I think that player plays up front for us. It's so isolated at times. And that was illustrated by a staff that came up in the game that Sigurdsons only passed to Donna Calvin in three times, which shows how it isolated. Don, whether you think it's right or not, he knows how to play that. He knows how to get involved in a game. I think Moise Keane wants to be involved in the game. So we'll go looking for the ball and therefore... Is a wall. Is a wall and doesn't give us that focal point where we need that long ball at times to get the wing, is it? And adjusting for the time being, you get a little bit more out of Moise Keane coming off the bench. You see in the last night, he is raw, but he's got so many great little tricks that he wants to get. He'll get himself out of situations. That's where the goal is. But I think for the time being the manager, we both might be wrong, but I think the manager will look at it and go, I need someone who I know will stay in the position and bring Richard, or some Bernard, or Wobby, Sigurdsons more into the game. And I think that's dumb for now. And that's why the manager likes him on weather. People want him on about Donna Calvin Lewis and how long he hasn't scored for or whatever.  It's why David Moise loved Anna Chaby. It's because you give him an instruction and he goes out and does it. Not every player can do that. And that's why managers like Don. And Don keeps the opposition's central defenders busy all the time. He wins most things in the air, doesn't he? So what we're really looking for is, I don't get the people who give him stick. Because maybe it's because he's got number nine all of a sudden. Is it being called a striker and you're supposed to score goals? It's about how many goals? It's the team to score. It's the same reason Tom Davis gets stick. It's the same reason why Leon Oshwin used to get stick. It's the same reasons. People can't see past the idea of a young lad coming into the side. Do you want bigger, brighter, better in their heads? Or what if you haven't got bigger, brighter and better? Or bigger, brighter and better isn't ready to play yet because they haven't been moulded into how the team wants to play. So I thought Moise Keane showed some lovely little touches and lovely little moments. But I still think that the manager will want them to stay up front and be the focal point of the team. And whether he's ready for that, I don't know. But that is down to the manager. And Wobby, I thought was great. He was, very impressive. I thought he was great when he came on on Friday. I thought he was great in this game. And he's got the work ethic as well that Rich Arleson's got. Hasn't he put himself about a bit? What I liked about him was, every time he got the ball, his first thought was, how can I go forward? How can I go forward? Or how can I create a goal or have a shot on target? And there's not enough of that evidence. There's too many players who want to play safe, who want to go wide when they're in central areas. He looked like a player. When he gets the ball centrally, he's looking for a running because that's how he's been brought up at Arsenal. Very direct. And I think there's not enough of that evidence. I think you're right, yeah. I see you. There you go. Touches 15. That's how. Goals 1, shots 3, which is good straight away. A player on his debut having shots. And I know the opposition may be great. But he's a player. All game, I thought he's going to score tonight because he looked like he wanted to score. He was desperate to score. And we don't see that enough. Do you know the only other player I think are good at evidence at the moment? Well, Moise Keane showed a little bit of that. But the only player I think is desperate to score, and this is why he's always got a gob on, is Richard Alisson. Yes, yeah. And that's why when people go, he's sulky. And I've been guilty of it myself. He's sulky because he wants to score. And he's not happy. And he looked the same last night. Because you know when Bernard gets the ball, Bernard is like the kind of player, as much as he's great. He looks like he's the kind of player. He's like, I'm happy if I set someone up. With Richard Alisson, I'm not happy unless I score. And everything don't have enough of those players. His goal meant a lot to him last night. The carcass was another one of those players. You ask any great striker, the top strikers, some of them will walk off the pitch and they might have won. But now, whether you like him or you don't like him, how many times do you see him when he scores? When someone else scores on the team. And he's got that face on him, as in, I should have scored that. You should have passed that ball to me. You need players. Now, I'm not saying he's liked that exactly. But last night, he looked to me like, I want to score tonight. I want to show these fans that I'm on it. And I want to be... And it's an old-fashioned thing, isn't it? It's my full debut. I should score because they'll remember that. Yeah. Shot on target two. Excellent. Successful passes, 29. Chances created two. Again, scoring goals and trying to create goals as well. There's nothing to me these numbers. Pass accuracy, 81%. Recovery, three successful dribbles, two. The people out there find these really exciting. But these are things that you've... This is where football is, John. We've got a debate in great depth. Why is pass accuracy is only 81%. Well, I think it's pass accuracy is 81%. No, but the reason why... It's an old-quality thing. How hard are the passes you try? No, no, no. The reason why... This is why central defenders now have pass accuracy of all 86 and 87%. They're passing it from here to there. Exactly, because they pass safe passes to the keeper to there and out. Snylder should be great, but he's... Snylder's pass accuracy, I imagine, is really, really good. Yeah. He's a kind of player who's probably... He's probing. He's looking for the chances. He's trying to... So, when Rooney was at Everton, his pass accuracy wasn't great, but it was because he's always trying to make chances. So you're taking risks. Of course. So it's not always going to be that high. And that's what our team needs to do, a bit more, take risks. Yeah. Massively. We've got too many safe players or too many players who are playing safely because they haven't got the confidence at the moment. And I think that's what we've seen on Friday night. We've seen players like Gomez, who do so much more, I think, to come from on to Gomez, so much more. But at the moment, without someone next to him who almost says, Go on, lad. You go up the pitch a bit. He's playing a little bit within himself. And I think that's part of the challenge. You could put him and Snydlin together. Yeah. Because they're exactly the same. Snydlin has got the talent. And then, you know, he showed... Again, it's a lower league team, but he showed a little bit last night what he's capable of doing. But he always... And my mate said to me last night, he always seems to be a sort of player. Once he's got the ball, he wants to give it to somebody who thinks it's better. Yeah. So let's say he gives it to Gomez. What's been happening? Gomez gives him it back. I think... But that's the thing. I think you can... I think every team needs one of those players, though. Yeah, but not two. Not two, though. That's why Tom could and should have been involved. Perhaps. Because at least Tom knows which way to go. Well, I imagine Tom Davis was injured last night. He must have been. He must have been. But I think that's why we're going to struggle in the Premier League to break teams down if Gomez doesn't start to say it himself. I agree. So... But I thought it would be great. And he got his goal. It was a... He'll start. I think he'll start. He's the kind of player for me now. But the manager has to find a position for him. Has to. And because he likes DCL Andrew Charleston's going to start. That's three up front, isn't it? Effectively. Yeah. I know there'll be cold midfielders or whatever. I think the difference with a Wobie...  I think the difference with a Wobie that was so mobile that he can play off the left but he'll find himself all over the pitch.  You wonder whether, actually, I don't know if he's got the discipline whether a Wobie could play almost as a central role. As a 10. Not as a 10, like almost as an 8. Okay. And then you maybe allow to not have to go to Staten Island or not have golems for a Satan game if you haven't got 5 players. Or questions. Tickets and then. But you've got to...  It was his best game. I mean, I know it's a lower opposition but I thought what I thought about Tickets and last night was he got himself in areas of the pitch he hasn't. He also got involved. Yeah. That was probably part of it. I got booked for getting booted up the arse. It's just incredible. Pushed over by that 22. But in the first half, he was getting wide and putting crosses in with real shape on them. And second half, we obviously scored the third goal from him getting wide on the right. Thinking up the far post. Lovely shape on it. Tottenham did well. Tottenham did brilliantly, actually. Very aware. Yeah, to put it back. Proper strike of that. And I won't be putting it in. And his penalty... Were you worried when he got the penalty because I think everyone was worried. It was a great penalty. He missed more than he scored last season. But he hasn't missed one away though. That's right. So it was a great penalty. Real good shape on it. Again, I'm keeping on using the word shape, but no pallet just shaping to the corner. And a bit high. So the keeper goes the right way. But going back to what you were saying before, the only thing that annoyed me in the whole night, when they scored the first goal, I was just typical. But let's just see what happens. But it was that bit between scoring the second goal and then equalising where we just switched off. This game's won. Yeah. Whereas when we got it back, when we got it to 3-2, we went for the fourth, and we got the fourth. And they could, they had nothing. They don't even have a lot. You know, we had Andy on last week. I was doing the preview with Andy, and he knew everything about them. And he was like, they don't play long ball anymore. They don't have that worry that we had last season at Goddison. They've got good, quick footballers. Now they've changed it. So last night, they didn't even have that outlet of a long ball to worry us.  Yeah. And you're seeing that, it was a tremendous goal. The finish is brilliant. But the amount of plays you skipped past our play because we were going in half-hearted to allow them to get back into it. But when we got the third, that's what we should have done when we got the second. We just kept on going. Keep the foot on it, yeah. Kept on going, with Charleston at the head of that, got flicked over. And then obviously, brilliant skill by Dean leads him to get the goal himself, get the header, which was a great header. It was. He worked hard for a second half. Once he'd got... So what does your handyman say? Because they've got a good reputation defensively, haven't they? Yeah, basically he said that he changed the style. Yeah. So Werner said, good or soon. Last year. And it was all, we were all terrified every time they got a set piece because we were terrified in general when anyone got a set piece. But he said, he changed that around. I think we've seen that last night. Yeah. That a team wants to play football now rather than just going along to the big man up front. And I thought we dealt with it. We dealt with it. They had two shots. Yeah. And they scored from both of them. It was just that when we switched off, and again, that's that idea of, we need to be more hungry. When there's a chance, I think, and again, Friday night against Villar, we were so guilty of this. When we're going, our teams keep going. Don't stop, because that's what those horrible teams do at the top. Yeah.  There's only one, isn't there? They keep, I know, but I'm trying to be a little bit more objective. They all know. I know. But we do get reds watching. They keep going on teams. They don't let teams settle. It becomes accumulative then, the pressure. Yeah. And that's what brings mistakes. You know, and it happens in every sport. You don't have to look at cricket on your last week to see what happens when the pressure comes on. And clearly, the worry, if you're, particularly with the home team, must be at its most highest when you've just gone behind. And if you look at what you call the horrible teams, they score the goals in clusters. Yeah.  And the game is over then. Yeah. There's lots of room. They're all chilled. They can bring out the skills and so on. And we've got that in our bag if we just have the confidence and the trust almost to do it. I think we've, I wouldn't say we've got it. I think we've got the potential to have it. I, no, you look at the players. You look at the players. They've got it. We need to see it. Some of the players still look like they've got there's a nervousness. That's what I mean. And it's about, we play as a Delf and plays like a Wobby and plays like Moise Keane. We've played for, you know, good sides. Champions League.  You've got, Andrzej Gomez, I mean, he had it, he had it when he was at Valencia but he lost it when he was at Barcelona. And even though he's seen it in Flitz last season, he's got it. What we've seen of Andrzej Gomez so far is not the thing that got Andrzej Gomez to Barcelona. Andrzej Gomez was a number eight. He picked the ball and run past people. We've seen that once against Wolves. Yeah. So what we've seen so far is a nice footballer. We need to start seeing him going, right, I'm going to relax now and come out Michelle. My, my, my very personal issue with Gomez is I didn't believe the high blast season based on what I saw. Yeah. I mean, at the money, you think that's good money. Yeah, yeah. If he performs. Yeah. He started the season. I don't know whether, because we haven't seen him do a proper full preset and all that sort of stuff. Whether he's just one of these players who needs games, which I know, Sigurdsson clearly does. So is he like that? Or he's become one of these players who are ever so slightly different when they've got the transfer rather than they're on loan and playing for something. And he's felt the love and it's the, you know, almost your God, you walk on water. And before the Villa game, I bumped into this. We were just sat down and a little cat who ended up talking to these guys on the next table were Portuguese. They were Evertonians because of Marco Silva because they're from Estrella. And so, he's a legend over there for what he did with them. And they just don't get the Gomez thing. They said, well, why is he loaded so much? Because he's not doing it, which is your point. No, no. They remember him from when he was in their country and then going off to Valencia as this great promise, then ended up at Barcelona. But they said, we've never seen it. Neville said that when he was off Valencia, there was two players that had the potential to be world-class. One of them was just signed for Man City, Concello, and the other one was on J. Gomez. And he said, because he didn't really elaborate on it, but he said the two players who were world-class, who had the potential to be world-class. So, I know he didn't play last night. And to be fair, this season, he got an injury in the first game, probably played through the injury in the Waffer game and in the... It's easy to go past. And he's got a... And he's got the snidlin' thing of soft fouls. Well, the good thing is, about a minute though, for £22 million, you probably can... You don't have to sit here and go, oh, he's amazing, or he's always terrible for the price. You don't have to do that. You can go, he's a good solid player, but we need to get them all out of him. Well, presumably, what brands and silver would like to think is we've got a £50 plus a million-pound player for 20-something. Yeah, right. And that's what he needs to show, isn't it? Definitely.  No, but we do. We need more players with more hunger. Because there is the conundrum there of Sigurdsson and Gomez together. And Snidlin. Oh, well... And the irony is... His elf won't it. The irony is, though, out of those three players, Snidlin is playing... He's the only one... Who's the only one to start at the season actually playing in his true manner, if that makes sense. Yeah, Ali is consistent. We know that. When people go, Snidlin, when people say, then he's had a good game. Yeah. He's had a good game, then. He hasn't been booked. He hasn't given soft valves away. He hasn't given the ball away. And he is one of those players who is doing his job properly. You don't really know... You don't see him. Yeah, you don't see him. So he's a water carrier, isn't he? Yeah, he is. And that's what he wants to be. And that's why the manager appreciates him, I think. And that's why he wants him to stay... And that's why when John's talking to me last night, and it was John Vaughn who said, you know, he always looks to give it to a best player. I think he'd be good to go and give it to Gomez. Gomez has then got to use it. Exactly. And that's why that's the irony of the whole thing when people give grief to Snarling and don't give maybe as much grief to Gomez or to Sigiston, although Sigiston does come under a lot of grief. It's Snarling who's doing his natural job. That's what he's been doing. And then I think he had a little... When he was at Southampton, we sort of seen a little bit more out of him. But that's what his job is. That's what his job's always been at. Well, when I did the post-repe... Obviously, the manager that I do with, the player they bought from Southampton they saw for a year and then he saw that same player the first year at Everton. And then both times it sort of goes for some reason. So that's about... It's got to be about management. If he feels comfortable, whatever it is that he doesn't feel he needs to do that little bit extra, that's into the on-field and off-field management to get into his head and say, that's not good enough. I think because again, then we've got a really competent player there. I think for me he's a squad player and he's doing the job he's supposed to do. But like you've just said will Delph come in and replace him? I don't know because the manager's already said he doesn't see Delph as a 6, he sees him as an 8 more like an Andre Gomes replacements. And maybe the emergence of Delph will give Gomes the property. Well, it's interesting because one thing I'm looking forward to seeing is Delph and slow-starting Sigurdsson. He always finds space. Oh, yeah, yeah. And Delph will find him. And I frequently say to my poor missus who has to suffer sitting next to me every day is that Schneider doesn't get the ball too much. Yeah. And the more crazy players we count Sigurdsson as one of those don't get it enough. Yeah, that's the problem. We need them on the ball. Yeah. We need to go through the middle more. Absolutely right. And we're going to have those I don't know, Gomes at the back of it and Sigurdsson at the front. They need to pivot properly. That's it. We go wide far. I mean, Friday was embarrassing to me.  They were basically going like that and part in the Red Sea and going, go on. If you want, go through the middle and move in. We just kept on going wide. And we did it similar last night, but it's something they're going to have to get out. Those teams would be comfortable when you're going wide. Yeah. But if you do go wide in equality, which is what we have last night, what are your thoughts on the draw? Sheffield Wednesday away to Sheffield teams in a couple of days, isn't it? I think Sheffield United around then as well, haven't we? I don't know anything about them. Well, they're doing well. I think they're near the top of the league. Everton will be playing against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough in the third round of the League Cup. This will be their first meeting since September 2007, which is also in the third round of the League. Stephen Pinar's full debut for Everton if I remember right. And somebody told me...  No, no, no, no. I remember because I remember and someone told me on that night and I've mentioned this a few times that Stephen Pinar was never going to make it as an Everton player. You keep reminding them. I always remind them. I always remind my brother-in-law, Daddy said that he was never going to make it. Sheffield Wednesday doing all that. I mean, when you're walking back to the car in the pouring rain, at home, sort of thing. Yeah. Or you really said we want a lower League, lower than the Premier League. If you'd avoid a Premier League team right through to semi-is or something. So we shouldn't complain about it. No, no. We'd expect to beat them, wouldn't we? Well, hopefully, yeah. I mean, we'll see where we are when we play them, but we should be good enough to go there and beat them. They're all done on the night now. None of this replay, extra time, none of that. None of that. So, yeah, there should be a good If I can, yeah, be tied to the desk in here. Yeah. Yeah. Leaving you on your lonesome for so long. Yeah. While he swans on with Marvel's artists in Star Wars Land. Great, innit? Yeah, there you go. I win 4-2 victory with through. That's the main thing, isn't it? Totally, yeah. Some good fitness exercises, some good debuts. And for some people, you can look at them and go, yeah, I won him in the first team, though. Cool. Any comments on the game? Anything we've discussed?

I welcome you to the Police Force Academy where today the Royal San Lucia Police Force will be in receipt of 11 motor vehicles to be utilized across the length and breadth of the island. Truly, this is a gawk onto an occasion. Woods cannot express how excited I am sure that the officers at all stations and departments are waiting with bated breath for receipt of these resources. I don't want to speak too much, so with that I invite the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Milton Daisy, for brief remarks. I have the honor here today of attending one of many of the Handinova ceremonies as Commissioner of Police. We have received numerous resources on behalf of the Royal San Lucia Police Force in the past, including vehicles. However, today's Handinova ceremony of this fleet of 11 vehicles is especially momentous. It is critical and it provides hope for the Royal San Lucia Police Force. It is critical because it's happening at a point in our life as a country and as a people that we are being ravaged by scores of crime and which includes violent crimes such as gun violence, house invasions, just to meet a few. This happens throughout the length and breadth of our country. As Commissioner of Police, I submit that this escapade by a minority of cowardly, unstately, non-law-abiding citizens has to stop. It must stop. And therefore, it is critical that we have the necessary tools to continue to mount the fight against these criminals to restore peace and tranquility among our citizens. This proposed handing over here today and I say proposed because I am confident that Mr. PM, you will not change your mind on it. It provides critical impetus towards achieving this objective and I am indeed pleased. As I said before, today's ceremony also provides hope. I could see light through the tunnel. It does because it demonstrates government's commitment and determination to providing the necessary support to our efforts in combating the scourge of criminal activities in our communities. It provides hope to the many citizens who call the police for assistance and may have had to wait for hours upon hours to resist, to receive assistance due to unavailability of vehicles. It provides hope. Hope, I said. On behalf of the Executive, the rank and file of the Royal St. Lucia Police Force and the citizens that we serve, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Public Service, Home Affairs, Labor and Gender Relations, the rest of the government of St. Lucia and everyone who was involved in making today a reality. Of course, we are not quite there yet. So we look forward to other ceremonies like this in a very near future. The expectations of the force regarding the utilizations of these vehicles, I know it's very high and I get it. I have no doubt that my executive and the rest of the commanders of the force will use it as intended. And as such, those vehicles will be assigned to specific departments where the aim would be to target the criminals. It has come at the right time, a time when resources are scarce. I know that the government have competing departments for resources. However, in the wisdom of the Prime Minister, when asked, when he asked me, what do we need to do something about the crime situation? And I told him one of the most urgent things, we need a lot of things, but one of the things that I think that we need is the vehicles, the fleet of vehicles that could take these officers to the, into the communities, especially the communities where the criminals believe that they could deter persons from enjoying their residents, from enjoying their homes and to make them on safe. The time has come and I said the time has come now and officers were listening and I am sure you will support me in getting out there to the criminals. They have made their way, they have made their choices. It is our turn now. Criminals, you need to stop whatever violence among yourselves, stop harassing citizens, law abiding citizens and put down the guns. If you cannot do it willingly, I could assure you the police officers will cause you to do it. And I know I make no bones about it. Once, and to you officers, once you are acting within the ambits of the law, you will be supported right through. In every situation, it is only you that would be able to justify the level of force that is used. There are varying levels of force that could be used to achieve your objective. Issue in a ticket, I don't think there's any or little force is needed to issue tickets to drivers. Asking a driver for his driver's license, no force needed once there is compliance. However, in dealing with gun violence, know what it is, especially in the night. Your life may be a danger in responding to situations. I'm urging you to make the right decisions, look at all opportunities available to you, and take the necessary action. And as I've said, you will be supported all the way once you have acted within the ambits of the law. We are starting tomorrow. Thank you. Today is my second round at the microphone. This morning, I spoke on the registration of civil status, registering books and death certificates using DigiGolf. And that is a big operation undertaken by the government of St. Lucia. And one of the questions I ask them is how they are going to assist the police in fighting crime and ensure that there is justice. So this afternoon, I want to say that truly an occasion, it is an occasion to feel very elated. And speaking to the issue at hand, great importance was placed on this task. And naturally today, we are very happy and proud it has come to fruition. Commissioner is beaming and smiling, even blushing today. Not even the mass can disguise how excited he is today. Because the Prime Minister has responded and the Cabinet of Ministers, we have responded to the cry. Commissioner, this is your independence day present. It is finally here. We can say that the Prime Minister has been very driven and the Commissioner has been very driven about getting those vehicles. This government believes in addressing the crime issue by employing remedial policy decisions where necessary. We are heeding to the voice of the citizen. The people must be heard as they are key stakeholders. They are entitled to receive a listening ear from the government. A government that they ensured were put in office to execute judicious and strategic decisions as needed so that things can gradually become much better than they have been over the past many years. Imagine today, we have to put safety before food, before education, before health. But that cannot happen because the Prime Minister and Ministers of Cabinet see them as of equal importance. We have to protect our citizens, we must feed them, we must educate them, we must give them quality health and provide for their social benefits. This administration has been acutely aware of public outcry, greatest concern and loudest compliments to do with transportation for the police to respond and carry out their duties in a timely and effective way. This morning, I employed the members of the public service to live to the expectation of the public service. We are here to serve the public and we have to serve the public in an efficient and effective manner and giving them high quality services. There always seem to be a lag time when the persons in distress have to wait. These vehicles that are being given to the police today, I can tell you, Commissioner and your team, the people ask the question, who will police the police? I don't think all Cabinet Ministers and Prime Ministers will follow every vehicle, but I will tell you the citizens of St. Lucia will follow you. Imagine how quickly active ongoing volatile situations can deteriorate. Oftentimes waiting is a luxury one cannot afford. They are sincerely appealing for the tools that they need to carry out the duties effectively. Today signifies that call has been heard and action taken. The Prime Minister is a man of action. The book of James says, what good is it, my brothers? If someone says he has faith, but does not have works, can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, go in peace, be warmed and filled without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works is dead. He says he will do it, he will get it done. And today that is the promise the Prime Minister and his Cabinet team promise that we will deliver and we are here to deliver. Commissioner, I thought you were saying you're starting from tonight. So you are not sure if Prime Minister will hand over the keys this afternoon, not necessarily overnight, but it will be done in order of national priority. The Prime Minister and Minister for National Security has been very proactive towards this and several other concerns of the police, especially at a time when crime is at unacceptable high levels, as indicated in his independence message on Tuesday. Minister for Home Affairs and her team as I speak have been very persistent on top of this matter. Today I am especially elated to witness the handing over. And I think this is the first time that you are witnessing the Prime Minister and myself sharing a platform discussing the police. So we have to settle our score today. People ask who is responsible for the police? Well, I have the answer. I am responsible for the conditions of service and the salaries for the police. No, salaries meaning how much they get. The Prime Minister has to get it. And the Prime Minister is responsible for the operations for security. And I say conditions of service, meaning what they need for them to do the work. That's my responsibility. And the Prime Minister will say how they use what they get, when they use it and what they need to do. Now, some people may question that, but I believe it's because the Prime Minister believes in gender balance. And as gender balance, they said that women look at the soft skills. And sometimes I remind persons that policemen are human beings, they have families, they have to live in the society and we applaud them for the sacrifices that they make in keeping us safe. That while we might be sleeping at home, these policemen are out there. They have left their families behind and they are putting their lives at risk to ensure our safety. I think we need to give them a round of applause for that sacrifice. This hope signifies a new era for the police and that better reviews from the police will be generated as the response time improves. Now, as Minister of Home Affairs, it's like the mother of your children in the home. And we have a number of units on home affairs that deals with security of the state. And I have to remind the Prime Minister that we have to quiet the noise. We have orderly correctional facility. We have the fire service. We have probation and parole. And we have the police. I need to reassure them that the Prime Minister is looking at everybody. But right now at the situation that we are in, security is critical. We need to be safe in this country. As Minister of Home Affairs, I remain committed to doing my best to address the many needs which have been committed on my agenda. On other departments other than the police, everything in due time, everything is in due time. Your turn might be the next. So fire officers, born early, we have immigration, we have probation and parole. I keep discussing with the Prime Minister your cry and we are looking at it. We are taking it in strides and we are getting there. Whatever support is given to the police is really given to each and every one of us. It's not a matter of the police, it's about us. In summary, let me state that the Prime Minister approved the procurement of 11 vehicles for the police this month. The 11 vehicles amount to a total of one million and sixty-nine thousand five hundred and ninety-four dollars and forty-eight cents. That's for the solution people to hear. That's the taxpayer's money and they will want accountability. Vehicles to be distributed for use throughout the island and the commissioner and his team of assistant commissioner of police have a careful plan to ensure they are well taken care of. So there is responsible use for the vehicle and that they are maintained regularly. You have to treat the vehicles as though they are yours because this is a big investment at this critical time in the country. The intention is that this fleet will be around for a while as this is a costly venture and more so given the economic strain caused by the pandemic. I want to assure the police, I want to assure the units in home affairs that the government of St. Lucia with the support of the Prime Minister and his team, we will put you first. We concern about your welfare and we will try our best. Let God protect our law officers. Let God protect our decision makers and let us get it right. I thank you. This afternoon is a simple but significant ceremony because I can assure you that the fiscal situation of the government had to be tweaked and had to be prioritized for us to get 1.06 million dollars to buy vehicles for the police. It's not a situation that the government can afford. We can't afford but it was important that we made a statement to the police that we cared about them and we cared about their conditions of work and this is why I want to thank my cabinet for agreeing to prioritize expenditure even before the budget to get 1 million dollars to spend on the police service and this is not the beginning of the improvement of conditions of work for the police. I want to tell you quite boldly that once we use what we have correctly, you will be getting more vehicles because I know you deserve more vehicles so you will be getting more vehicles but a condition that you use what you have wisely and you use it as if it was yours. I was speaking to the police high command this week and I said to them the matter of fighting crime and the work of police officers ought to be not only a duty but a vocation. It ought to be something that you want to live a legacy that I was a member of the police force when criminal activity in this country was reduced to zero or near zero. A legacy that you can tell your children that I was part of it. I caused St. Lucia to be a safer place and I caused the people of St. Lucia to work and live and make our country one of the best places to work and live in the world and the way you achieve that is by ensuring that there is a secure country and it must be looked upon as a job. It must be looked upon as if something that you do to make the government or to make the prime minister look good. When most of you will be there I will not be prime minister because you have a security of tenor. I have no security of tenor. People decide my faith every five years or sometimes if you're in Barbados every three years so I very well know that my faith depends on people. No one has to remind me. I need no reminder but what I know is once the people have entrusted me with the confidence and I want to thank them for that. Once they've allowed me the people of St. Lucia through the people of Castro's East to have the confidence to be in a position where I can administer the governance of this country I will do it without fear and favor to the best of my ability for the well-being of the majority. And the well-being of the majority means that we must have a safe and secure country for us to live in. So I will spend no efforts within the limits of the fiscal constraints that we live with to improve your conditions. So this year and I say this year with emphasis we are going to commence construction of the Grozile police station. The Grozile police station is a station six years too late but it's going to start this year and I've been told that the construction time will be a little less than 18 months so if God spares our lives and the people of St. Lucia spare our lives we will be opening a brand new police quarters in the town of Grozile if not at the end of 2022 in the first quarter of 2023. We are also going to be, and I've just discussed with the Attorney General, we are finalizing the agreements with NIPRO to repair the view fort police station. That agreement is going to be finalized very soon and NIPRO has promised that they are ready to commence work on the view fort or the southern headquarters of the police force. So we are going to start that this year and it's going to continue hopefully I understand that the construction time may be about 12 and 12 months so the police officers in the south you are going to have better conditions of work very soon. There's been a lot of criticism about the police criticism about the police high command and I and everyone knows that many people are saying that the government the government's actions have been too slow when it comes to the police service but I want to tell you that part of my philosophy is allowing every man and woman a chance to prove themselves wrong. I start with trusting you until you cause you cause me to distrust you and I always say to my colleagues that I'm not in a business of reading any man or woman's heart that's what my father taught me. So I never try to imagine people's motives or people's hearts I can't I never will and no one will. I can only act on your actions I can only act on how you behave I can only act on what you produce and that is how I will measure the police service on the actions and their production not on anybody's heart. I can't promise you that apart from not being a heart surgeon it's impossible to read anybody's heart so I will not try to interpret anybody's motives. I challenge the police high command and the officers to improve the crime situation in the country and they want the tools to do it I will provide the tools these are not going to be the only vehicles that you're going to get we are going to produce more vehicles to you this year because what we ask for you is from you is commitment what we ask from you is every day you put your uniforms or you go to work you go to work with a purpose of improving the quality of life for yourself your children and the country because at some point if the crime continues it will reach your doorstep it might reach yours personally but it will reach your friend your cousin your family it will reach you so you have a moral duty to ensure that by your actions and by the work you do not for the prime minister not for me not for the government not for the ministers for yourself and for your country you give a fair day's work for a fair day's pay I know that your conditions could be better but I want to tell you that's the history of our government to improve the conditions of the men and women of the police force we were the ones who built all the new police stations in se lucha today I can say that without any fear or favor we were the ones who built the march on a police station we were the ones who built the two police stations in denry we were the ones who will build the grossly police station so when it comes to understanding the conditions of work under which policemen live and work work in particular we know about it and this government will continue will continue to work so that you can have better conditions so it's up to you it's up to you it's up to you to a pride and dignity it's up to you to understand that you have to work together this cannot be a business of territory or territorial or this is my section this is his and I can't interfere in it we cannot run the police force as silos we can't run the police force where we are hoping that somebody will fail so we can succeed failure for one is failure for all so if somebody fails and you think that you succeed because somebody fails all of us fail together so I want you to take this handover this 1.06 million dollars which we spent as just the government is not a favor is the government's commitment to you so that you in turn can improve the conditions can improve the quality of life in this country and the quality of life depends on how safe people are solution used to be a place where you could on evenings relax on the beach with your family I hope so your family you could relax on the beach with your family used to be a place where people used to go window shopping now all the stores are covered you can't even see what's there use your place where people used to go and sit on the Derek Walker square we need to be able to bring back that quality of life to St Lucia St Lucia cannot be a place where you are afraid and it's up to you the owners is on you to bring that life back we can bring it back there are countries in the region where we've brought it back sometimes we speak about Singapore the first situation in Singapore was they did two things they cleaned the country and they saw about law and order a country without law and order regardless of all the strides that you make economically if there is no law and order if there's not security or person the country will not be a bet a good place to live so this home invasion thing must stop I was appalled that there could have been a home invasion in one of the most popular places in St Lucia and I know weaknesses are afraid to come forward I have assured the commission of police that this year he's going to get more resources for your witness protection program because you can't have a situation where people see a crime is committed they keep quiet because they are afraid that they got they get injured if they bear testimony that cannot be right it cannot be right so the police their witness protection program will be strengthened but the public themselves must put a hand as they see the public can't expect that the police will be the eyes and the ears of everywhere for everywhere and there's a lot of criticism and sometimes the criticism of the police is warranted but we cannot blame if one policeman does something wrong to blame the entire police force for the actions of one policeman and the police themselves by their behavior must show a level of empathy and a level of professionalism because you are very important and powerful people any man or woman who can take somebody's freedom for 72 hours is a powerful person very powerful and when you have that uniform or you take that oath you become extremely powerful so you have to use that power with prudence and with temperance and showing that it is for the benefit of all the people so this afternoon Mr. Commissioner this is just the beginning of the improvement of the working conditions for the members of your force I want to thank my cabinet colleagues for understanding that this government deals with priorities and if you notice the first people we bought vehicles for is the police is for the police and we kept the old vehicles that have been inherited and that is a that is significant because we have used vehicles and you have new ones that is how important we take you and the members of your service so everybody must understand our commitment to law and order and we are not going to be going about the police boasting and beating our chairs we think that the police they deserve it so the police cannot be put in a situation where they have to get their requirements from dinners no matter how good and well-being these may be the government must make a conscious effort using the resources of the state to put law and order first and regardless of the constraints we will have to find the resources plus dinners if you want but we have to have the resources to improve your conditions of service so I thank you very much for the work that you've been doing I know that the public expects a lot more from you I want you to live up to these expectations the government will support you so I want you from today to have a more unified police force each policeman must watch his brother's back that is the essence of your business you must watch each other's back and I said before it cannot be let him fail for me to succeed I thank you very much


Hello friends and welcome to Indian Radiologist.com. In this week's video we are going to focus on an interesting case of a 47 year old female with a history of hysterectomy in the past who presented to us with severe lower abdominal pain and bleeding PV. A USG abdomen and pelvis was asked for by the casualty officer. The abdominal sonography of this patient was normal and an internal sonography was then performed which shows a normal cervix as you can see on this video. But just adjacent to the cervix towards the right of the cervix we can see a small nodular structure which is solid and eco-poor. On closer examination and zooming that area we can see it's quite irregular and appears to be adherent to the cervix and not separate from it. As we push further we can also see that it is attached to the rectal wall. On Doppler it showed moderate vascularity with a history of being operated for endometriosis. The diagnosis in this case becomes quite simple. It is nothing but deep infiltrating endometriosis or DIE. We all know that endometriosis is defined as the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. And deep pelvic endometriosis as we know it commonly as deep infiltrating endometriosis is defined as subperitonal invasion by endometriotic lesions that exceed 5mm in depth. Deep pelvic endometriosis can affect the retro cervical region commonly but also the uterosecral ligaments, the rectum, the recto vaginal septum, the vagina, the urinary tract and other extraperitonal pelvic sites. Clinically like with endometriosis it is commonly associated with dysmenorrhea, dysperunia, pelvic pain and urinary tract symptoms. But it is a very important cause of infertility and that's the reason why patients usually come to us for examination. The case that we saw today was just an unusual way of presentation with acute pain and severe bleeding but commonly the patient will come to you in your ultrasound clinic for workup for infertility. The idea group has given a four step method in evaluating endometriotic lesions as well as DIE. The first step of course is the routine evaluation of the uterus and adnexa as well as the sonographic signs of adenomyosis and or presence or absence of endometrial cysts which is very commonly seen. During the scan it is not a bad idea to actually evaluate the kidneys as well to look for any hydroneftrosis or hydrourita that might occur due to an endometriotic lesion which may not be seen in the ureter on a transvaginal scan. The second step is evaluation of the transvaginal sonographic soft markers such as site specific tenderness and ovarian mobility. The third is evaluating the status of the pouch of Douglas using the sliding sign and lastly assessing DIE nodules in both the anterior and the posterior compartment. So as we see here the anterior compartment will consist of lesions that exist at the bladder base or the bladder dome. So we need to evaluate these areas well. The posterior compartment will include the rectovaginal septum and also nodules that cradle the posterior vaginal phonics the edge of the cervix as well as the rectum as was seen in our case and eventually also the utrosacral ligament posteriorly as well as the rectum and the rectosigmoid. Now as we do scans normally we see these lesions pretty commonly these endometriotic cysts that we label and measure and compare with previous scans but while doing the transvaginal scan we need to learn a few tricks that will allow us to evaluate these patients well. The first is adequate bowel preparation. We all know that the patients usually walk in directly for a transvaginal scan and there's no preparation required but when we start scanning and we get this picture with fecal shadow noted within the bowel on the left side that totally obscures the left adenis and the ovary you know that your examination is going to be suboptimal. So in this case rather than completing a suboptimal examination it is not a bad idea to call the patient next day with adequate bowel preparation. So you should see to it that the rectum and the rectosigmoid are usually collapsed and flat and you can see the wall pretty clearly. The next step is gel sonovaginography. Now what is this? This is actually a wonderful article that you all must read written by Dr. Mala Sibyl in which she outlines details of how she packs the vagina with copious amounts of gel at least 10 to 20 cc that allows a much better visualization of the posterior phonics as well as the cervix that would otherwise escape adequate optimal visualization on a regular ultrasound. The third tip of course is a sliding sign to CPOD lesions as we can see in this case we are seeing the left ovary and as we push the probe inwards gently and push it back you can see the ovary separating from the rectal wall. In this way you can note and tell very clearly whether the ovary is adherent to the rectal wall. In this technique we see whether the anterior rectum is gliding freely over the posterior aspect of the uterus and the cervix. A normal sliding motion of the uterus is regarded as a positive sliding sign and this is very important to diagnose POD lesions as well as adhesions at the pouch of Douglas between the uterus and the rectal wall. By doing this we also evaluate the rectal wall well and we look for rectal nodules that you would otherwise miss while conducting a scan without performing the sliding sign. So doing the sliding sign is a must usually when evaluating for endometriosis. We do know the limitations of TBS ultrasound of course it has a restricted field of view and it may be difficult to visualize lesions located outside the pelvis especially recto sigmoid lesions. Other common conditions that might impair lesion visualization are large ovarian cysts, sub-serosine leomaumas and of course acute retroflection of the uterus. Sometimes the uterus might be retroverted and totally adherent to the rectum and this might not allow you to see rectal nodules that you would otherwise see in a slightly mobile uterus. However ultrasound is still the first initial investigation of choice in patients in whom endometriosis is suspected and a complete detailed evaluation of the pelvic structures must be performed in order to diagnose endometriosis accurately. In most cases especially those who will be going for surgery MR of the pelvis is conducted to confirm these nodules as well as to see lesions that might escape detection on transvaginal ultrasounds especially lesions that are higher up and involving the recto sigmoid.
