player

, really, really good day today at Gooderson Park, good to see us score a couple of goals, great to see us get three points, and it was good. victory overall listen we did the job which was to get Everton to play the way Everton plays well now if you like the way Everton play it doesn't really matter because that was just who played well um obviously We made some changes to the team, obviously. We had to make some changes. I think the changes in midfield were really important and he really worked and we controlled the game.

Yes, obviously some conservation things have come out of the game and we'll talk about them as we go. as we look at all the

player

s, but let's start with Jordan Pi for the at to make an absolutely huge great save in the first half, excuse me, a great save to one to zero from Chris Wood um yeah, it was just a magnificent save on the post rear just to block it and then Tarkowski blocked it and we managed to escape um three saves um today goals goals pre saved .73 so close close enough to a goal that he stopped and it was a great moment Yeah, a couple of other things, a couple of stupid kicks , but a really big save, a really big moment in the game, just to, you know, just when you need it, those big moments, so, yeah, he did his job and that was it. a great game, like I said, a great save, sorry, like I said at that stage of the game and um, it's the moments, right?, it's the moments that get you over the line, um, so I thought there was done enough.

Well today, Jordan chose that and I give it a 7. Six um Ashley Young, this is where it gets interesting. This is where it gets interesting because I said in my post match that I thought I had a pretty steady good game um overall and then. I saw the sanctions that he was involved in all of them, what you know, possible sanctions that they obviously didn't give us. Three three penalties that obviously made Nottingham Forest extremely angry, they posted a tweet, even going that far. like saying they thought they'd let the Premier League know that the V was a looting fanatic, which is crazy and they'll see where they go.

I don't know how you take it right, what do you do? You say that you are not going to play any games, if you do not play any games then you lose the games and therefore you could be relegated. I don't know, I don't know, since they came to Clattenburg like this referee in um thing that they have, they seem to be pretty fast uh jumping on the referees is pretty interesting I listen, I listen, I went back and rewatched the moments after the game and joining in to the game, just some of the big moments just to take another look at things and it was interesting to hear Jamie Cara talk about it about the Premier League clubs doing what they're doing really and really what was really fun was Liverpool really opened the door for this um when they complained about spare parts and don't get me wrong they had every right to complain about spare parts because of what happened in the space game but it seems to have gone on and on and Forest have brought in someone to do this now, um, like them their job um when it's not when it's not in Gladiators um so it's a really strange situation that we've created now in the game um and I don't know where it's going, I really don't know where it's going and how we move forward with this. when you have clubs that go straight into the public eye making these complaints it's just to satisfy their fans it's really for um the best for the game I don't know listen just from my point of view I've been watching them I've seen them again of course I'm in the so it's so hard when you're on the ground uh at that time I didn't think that The first one was a pen and I still don't believe that the first one was a pen.

The hand ball. I didn't think it was a pen, but now I think it was a pen and I literally haven't even started this video. I didn't see the Cy penalty that they just took, I think that cements it more and I think the third third is also a penalty to be fair and I'm like on the floor when you get that release and you're watching the game and you're like ooh, so maybe we've gotten away with one there, so I think Ashley Young definitely got away with a couple there, um, you know, I thought again if he's going to play right back that's where he's going to play.

He is a liability. I think he is a liability because of his age. He is better than Ben Gy. Well, I think it is if when we're at home, when we move forward, the manager has to make a call. Didn't he win? five out of seven wickets um, but I thought going forward I thought he, I thought he helped when we went forward, he helps on that right side, but it's definitely going to be him and Ben Godfrey, isn't it? So I don't do it. I know, I don't know, like I said in the overall game, I thought it was okay.

I thought he had a pretty decent game. But I checked the. You can see there's his heat map there too. I didn't advance that much, but I thought he did well, he did well, so overall I thought he did well, but those moments were great moments in the game and they will be seen again and again. I imagine, and I listen to Forest, what Forest is doing is that Forest is creating that noise that we have talked about many times, he says he never tells you where, often these things are discarded because they are not in the big games or they do not perceive well the important games today. "It was a really important game, wasn't it for both teams?

So they are just doing their voice and people can say. This is really nonsense, but I understand why they are doing it, because the clubs outside the top six seven Not these things." "They don't look at them, they really don't and we've been saying that for a long time so I understand people are embarrassed but sometimes you have to make a bit of noise about it and we've really managed to do that." I have, I mean, you can call it, look if you want, maybe, maybe what's coming, it goes around, you know what I mean, maybe do things, things balance out and where we should have had penalties in the last few weeks and we have not said. any wishes from Bournemouth and against Bany maybe we will have them back today and he will have returned the reward.

I'm F, I have a voice, a voice like his right now, so let's actually get one because I said I thought he had a good game with those who say only two out of three. I guess I don't know. I mean, at the end of the day, you're the one who takes the second penalty. I mean, if he doesn't set foot there, the the guy has a one-on-one, he has a one-on-one and and um and the handball is one of them now, isn't it? What can you do? You jump up and you have your arms out, so um, I'm going to I'm going to continue with what I basically saw in the game is that General plays.

I thought he did well, so I'm going to give him a seven out of 10 on the other hand. Fatali Meleno again, very stable. two ground jewels one of two uh three two of three jewels very solid aial did its job with no problems at all um did everything I'm also going ahead to show you this heat map there, you know, get in the middle of the opposition as well, I don't Aren't you a solid game in every way? There is no problem with him, so I would give him a high-performing 7.5-foot center back today. um dealt with, I think they both dealt with chriswood pretty well. um they had a little pair of little n tarkowski. little moments of nervousness when he tried a headbutt and didn't win the move and they got behind us and we watched hopefully I think it was Morgan who gave the moment Put It Wide um tarkowski brought for the block as well as I did.

I said before with the national team, for example, I thought it would be great at that time too um ground jwes won three out of three aiel jwes won five out of nine, which is pretty good, like I said, facing Kiss Wood, who you know is going to go. to be a, she's going to be a handful, she's going to be a handful in a game like this and it was just those moments where she's for both of us where she leans on people, she did it a couple of times and she said, I think . He did that with brwi just leaning into people and just creating, just creating a little bit of space or putting a defender in so he doesn't misjudge your head, all that, all that stuff that Chris Wood is really good at, the centre-forward of old school number nine, really play, um. but I thought they both dealt with it pretty well so umak would also give it a 7.54 um and Jared brane Jared BR had three R three big Jewels six r three aiel D again 50/50 um They gave me a nasty one BTW Jared BR Wai in the second half, a nasty one, uncle dad fell and the f, the F kept playing and he is one in tari, Mad R, crazy in tari in the head, he was down, the referee kept playing. crazy first half and then it was a corner so he couldn't, he wouldn't even leave because he wouldn't get treatment. sometimes these rules are crazy, absolutely crazy, um, but I would give them both, um, I give them both a 7.5 for today's performance.

In midfield, a gay disa I've been talking about. You know, I know people think I'm talking about R, but AA G really to me is a player we should have playing for us. I say it all the time I know again some people think it's a little problematic. I just think he's so important, so important the way he plays, it's, um, it's that he just nicks the ball, he just weaves things together. together and today we should get a goal too um and it was lovely to see it go through instead of over the crossbar. I just thought, oh, I thought he was our man of the match to be honest, um Grand JS won five. out of six here he only won one out of two.

I thought all day that he was excellent. 87% passing accuracy. 55 touches. Yes, there were a couple of occasions where he gave the ball away gently and that is expected of him. He scored, he has no points. Not for XG today and he, he, scored it, so it's like he had no right to score that goal and he scored it. I thought his entire overall performance was excellent. One blocked shot, two interceptions, four tackles. KN, dribble pass once. I just thought, like I said, his overall performance was brilliant, I just see his heat map all over the pitch except in his box, he's quite funny and he scored a goal, but honestly, honestly, I think it's ours, I think It's ours.

The most important player on the field, I really believe it, I really believe it, he just has a lot of experience and again, when you look at next season and you look at the situations of the players who are going to leave and the players who are going to stay, that We kind of have to do everything in our power to try to keep our distance from this club. Listen if we have to negotiate your contact. We have to negotiate your contact. But let's negotiate your contact. First, do you know what I mean? Let's make sure that's a conversation that we're having at least because he's such an important player for us, so let's do everything we can, but I thought he was great today, this guy I really did, so I'm going to give him a eight for today Andre Gómez played 67 minutes solid enough took the ball well 84% passing accuracy 56 touches of the ball um, I thought he did well today I thought he was, I thought when he was with the ball he was He was looking to create things, changing the angles, not just going backwards all the time, you know, playing the ball from left to right, just keeping it moving the right way and I thought he did well today, getting into that, getting into midfield. starting again at Gooderson um and his all-around game was pretty solid I thought, so Andre Gomez again another solid performance and I'd give him a 7.2 for today um Dore, I thought Dor was a lot more involved today, I thought he had gotten into um.

There's a lot of better areas than normal, you can see his heat map there, there's a lot more red in our half and I know he did, he traded a little bit with Gomez in the second half, but I thought his all-around game was a lot better today um just getting more involved just getting into the game not not just being a passenger at times where he has been recently um and I thought that was really important uh just one four of us 10 wickets but one two of us three aial dels 53 touches uh a key pass successful dribbles two r or two and I thought heh heh heh it wasn't about waiting for those moments it was about creating those moments and I thought he did a lot better creating those moments today then he did it recently for us and he was picking up the ball and he was running with her and she was just trying to move us forward instead of waiting for things to fall, which she did, she's done a lot recently, so uh, I would. give a seven points uh two uh Jack harison um coming back to the side creatively didn't create too much seemed scared at times to try to take the fullback there was a lot of one on ones and he kept coming back there I think There was only one time where he put it on his butt and then he put in a cross and nothing came out, but just looking at his numbers here, 45 touches, crosses, six not accurate, no shots, no shots off target and no blocked shots. five too successful you need more you need more when you know and I just the number of times you seem to say in the second half you know right on the happy street there the opportunities he had to take it to the bar line and Look what happens and it seemed really scared to do it.

I don't know, I really don't know why. I just see a heat map there and there's a lot of red in that corner, as you can see, so it'sreaching the last third. it's getting into the right areas but it's just not doing anything with it um, I just thought it could, I thought it could have done more, I thought it could have done more in those areas for me. Jack Harrison returns to the side today, so, um, Jack Harrison, I would give him a 6.3 for today's performance in the The other side, obviously, Dwight Mcneel got his goal, something I think I said on the 11 over home show. , you know, it was time you saw one of those great Dwight Mcneel moments and we did it, we got it today, big finish, uh. just kissing the post and getting in, you know, good work rate today, getting back into some core areas, which is obviously the planet from the looks of it, to try to get them into those core areas, he had another one right after scoring that The goalkeeper had to do a uh you know, he chopped, he chopped, the goalkeeper's palms, two shots on goal, no dribble attempts, no shots off target, yes, he did it, he did it well again, it's more of the hard work and the effort he puts in instead of maybe the flashy ability in the full moments with Dwight Mcneel, no one can, no one can, no one can say that he doesn't work hard because he works hard, but it's the ones that you know are the ones. crosses or the or you know or whatever else you're looking for and today he's got the goal today he put himself in a big area he backed himself up and as soon as he opened up he really thought it was a he's got a chance here and he took it and he took it very , very good uh and obviously that's the second goal scored against Forest this season um he scored such a clean game for him that fair play for him he hasn't had a great season um but he scored one today and it was great moment two key passes five crosses three of them accurate um accurate passes 71% from 59 touches um heat map more red as you can see just more red inside our half and just and I'm not really exaggerating too much like we said about Jack Harrison, but he has the goal and that's all that matters today, a big goal, so I would give thewi mcne 7.6 for today's performance and Dominic har Le is obviously gone, hopefully not like that. he fell down and you think his hamstring is gone and then he kept playing and then he left, so obviously he looks good, he doesn't need to come out straight away and that's hugely important because it's not going to get any better. for the next two games with um obviously he's going to have to go so Dom's going to be very important this week you just hope there's no problems and um otherwise it's going to be shit to start up front for us and you know.

I can see that again on the surprising side of Derby, which has the look again, um, of Shimi started having to start the game, so, Dom, he did well, you know, it was a decent game all the way around. on your part, um, nothing, nothing, nothing surprising again. One chance, I think at the Glad Stre end, he just got wide, I think he fell from a corner, he actually only had 20 touches in the whole game, that shows how isolated our centre-forwards are, um, and it's difficult. and I've said it's difficult for him, it's difficult for BTO to be Everon's centre-forward, it's a really difficult, difficult, difficult job to do, really, you have very little to work with, you know, most of the time alone It's about winning. long balls, it really is an h, it really is, you know, the right chart, this updating, it really is a hard work for them. um so what we can expect is Dom Dom to get Ariel back Jules you won two out of three um so he did everything from that point of view but it's hard it's hard for him it's hard for Betto but hopefully Dom is available for Wednesday's game. night, otherwise we are really struggling, so I give them a 6.8 for today's performance.

Substitutes James Garner arrived in the 67th minute. They only had nine touches on the ball. He didn't have much to do at all, um, and for someone coming into central midfield, that's a little strange in a game that still has half an hour or so to go, it's really strange that he didn't have low points. Do it, James, I'd hit a six four off the bench. Betto came in and what came he played 22 minutes and obviously, obviously, the injury is fine, obviously it's a concussion. or sorry, it could be a concussion, they knocked him out, um, so obviously the concussion protocol comes into play and all that kind of stuff now going forward, um, they won't clean it up, I mean, you look at the video, He is the fall more than anything, right? it's the fall from that kind of height, it's horrible, horrible to say, um, and he did well, 13 touches when he came in, he did well, no real opportunities in front of goal, um, he did well, Will and Runner As always, not much.

There's not much to grab him, you know, and look where he is, look where he's got, where he is, where he got the injury, he's just outside our box, trying to get a ball back for us, so he's fighting, he's working hard. , he's trying to do something for us um it's just horrible to watch it really is horrible to watch and you can see the players reaction right away they know it's bad and it needs to be dealt with immediately so um yeah yeah let's wait let him get it. come back as fast as you can probably be watching the game Looting now I figure maybe I don't know didn't it used to be three weeks?

I'm still not sure um, I'm still not sure what it is. is, but yeah, it's not really nice to see, it's not really nice to see and it's again, it's a blow for the team, but hopefully we wish him the best, we wish him a speedy recovery and I know he was talking to the physio . He was, he recovered by the time, um, by the time he had to leave, so I give him a 6.5 uh, shit. Play, come on, obviously for him, um, listen, he fought Fair Plum, he just has to believe in himself. a little bit more I think there are a couple of moments where he outplayed the defender.

There is one actually where, if he had gone down, he could have caused one of his central defenders to be sent off. He has to believe in himself a little. A little bit, it's been a difficult season for him, but listen in the next two games, maybe three games, he will be our second striker, maybe our first striker, who knows, he has to believe in himself, he has to try and grab everything you can. and you know, he, he, he did well when he came on today he got a yellow card for stopping one of his plays in the future, that's good, but maybe there was a chance to fall on the edge of his area again, that's what it's all about .

It's all about experience and young players usually want to stay on their feet, but they probably had the chance to slow the game down there, win as a free kick and maybe give the coach something to think about whether it was a second yellow card for his central defense. But he did well, but obviously continuing to do well from the front is obviously different than starting the game. The guy needs the guy needs minutes. Obviously, all footballers need minutes. end scores a goal and people will complain about the fact that EV hired the players. He needs minutes, he needs time to play.

He sounds stupid, but it's the most obvious thing in the world. It is not like this? You learn your craft by playing and this. the guy hasn't been able to do that, Betto hasn't been able to do that, you know, you know a lot of things, like Patterson, he hasn't been able to do that, you learn your trade by playing week in and week out gaining experience and understanding what you need. to do lying around in the field, so it was nice to see him get involved and, you know, do some dirty work from the front, like I said, it's all about experience now, so, shimi, I would give him a 6 point, 6.5 for his cameo today.

So, in not so easy circumstances, but in this one we got the three points, nothing else matters, it was a good job we did, we played well for what we do and I think that has to be all you can do. Ask because we're not a great team, we're not really an attractive team on Monday, we got away from what we do well today, we went back to what we do well and got the three points so hopefully we can continue that. Tough game on Wednesday, of course, and then, and it'll be a tough game next week against Brenford, plus they're coming off some good wins, but hopefully, if we can get something out of those two games, that'll give us what we need. to move on and get the points to secure the Premier League for another season and that's all that really matters, at this stage, you know, we just have to string some results together and keep stringing results together.
