Everton 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers | The Final Word
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
In the Carabao Cup third-round tie held at Hill Dickinson Stadium, Everton secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in front of an unusual crowd comprising two Prime Ministers but no club owners. The match was characterized by a slow pace and a lack of aggression, with the hosts struggling to find their rhythm until they eventually settled into the game. Despite these early difficulties, Everton managed to hold out for a clean sheet, preserving their unbeaten season and keeping their hopes for a domestic treble alive. However, the performance was not without its frustrations, as wasteful play following scoring opportunities, ineffective set-piece routines, and missed chances by goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and young talent Tyler Dibling prevented a more comfortable win.
The turning point of the match arrived in the second half when substitutions injected much-needed tempo into Everton's attack. Michael Keane and O'Brien replaced Harrison Armstrong and Merlin Ro, while Hayden Hackney came on for Tyler Dibling, and Brennan Johnson swapped places with Tiano Barry. This fresh energy culminated in the winning goal after Alcaraz slid into a gap to thread a pass to Charlie, who finished clinically; Dibling had provided the assist earlier in the game. His overall contribution was impressive, as he completed 90% of his passes, created two significant chances, and won nine of fourteen ground duels, though the team's overall attacking urgency remained below expectations throughout the contest.
Looking ahead, Everton now faces a significant test against Ipswich on Saturday, with a victory in that fixture allowing them to be very pleased with their start to the campaign. The win over Wolves was deemed a "job done" regarding progression, yet concerns were raised about the squad's depth, particularly with only four players available for rotation, consisting of two goalkeepers and two young defenders. This scarcity makes it essential for Tyler Dibling to become a viable option rather than a passenger in the lineup, while Jack Leish will need a mini-preseason to regain his touch and fitness after an eight-month break before facing Newcastle United in the next round.
Ultimately, the victory keeps Everton's season on track despite the lackluster display that fell short of higher standards. Viewers are encouraged to reflect on what impressed or disappointed them regarding the Man of the Match and share their opinions on the team's performance.

Welcome to Topy TV. It is the final
where Everton won Wolverampton Wanderers
nil in the Caribou Cup third round tie
hill Dickinson Stadium that saw two
prime ministers in attendance with
scarves on but no owners.
I mean did you really expect that would
have been a good opportunity for Nona,
wouldn't it? A good opportunity, you
know. But there you go. There you go.
Um,
how did you I was I walked out quite
frustrated last night and disappointed
cuz I thought the level of the game was
really poor.
>> And I just
every year I go with the hope that we'll
sit down and we've we've made changes,
we'll still be really good. But it
always seems to be no matter what
happens. It's almost like I've seen this
carabal cup game before because it's
never it never sort of plays out. That's
why Preston was amazing.
>> During the game during the game I
Googled what is the average round ever
can get knocked out of the League Cup.
Is it the third? It it's the actually
the it's actually the second really.
>> Yeah. Yeah. That's actually that's the
average. So I was like this is why James
asked me on one of the shows and he was
like
why have we never won this cup? And I
was going to walk in today and go that's
why we've never won this cup because we
always seem
at this stage or or even the round
before to really struggle not to beat a
team but just to look up for the game.
Yeah,
>> it is. It is like an up for the game.
>> It was like last night it was like
passing the ball around and it was like
>> come on if you just like start looking
like you've got a bit of like aggression
or something about you and it that's
what frustrated me.
>> Yeah. Yeah. just like not looking like
he's like it's well it's Wednesday night
we're playing a championship team it'll
it someone will score eventually and
like come on lads just you know go out
there and batter these like he's did
Preston who are a lot lot not now
nowhere near the level they are
>> no
>> just go batter them for sake
>> and that was it and I I think I was so
by the end I was more like I'm just
happy we're through
>> I'm happy we're through and we're happy
a few players
>> have got game time and fitter and and
when we win the trophy this year,
>> none of us will be looking back
thinking, "God, that was rubbish."
>> And that's the way I just thought about
it. It's a It's a Listen, it's I said
last night it was job done, wasn't it?
And it wasn't. That's all this result.
Sorry, the performance doesn't actually
mean anything, does it? You do. All that
matters is you're in the next round and
we've got a home time in the next round.
So, it was job done. It's just that that
thing like where you just you're going
come on sit down. There's no Premier
League pressure,
>> you know, to see where you are. Just
let's play the football and, you know,
beat them and stuff and it was just I
think it's just cuz I've seen that game
so many times before. We huff and puff
and we we have won a lot of them kind of
games. We end up getting through, but
it's just like, oh, come on lads,
please. Cuz it was just slow and yet
I've seen James Garner talking about it.
you know, we want to win this trophy.
And David Moyes, you and I had done the
program notes or something talking
about, you know, want to win this
trophy.
>> The two things didn't seem to to sort of
match up. Clearly, I haven't wanted to
win, but you know, I don't want to go
overboard. We won and that's all that
matters. But I was I was just a little
bit frustrated thinking
>> we could have there was moments where we
>> like when we scored, we spent the next
15 minutes passing the ball back to keep
it instead of going for it. And it was
like this this is a bit you know we'll
come on to that in a bit but obviously
the manager made changes. No Harrison
Armstrong he was missing with a slight
knock. No Merlin Ro who' obviously
missed Tottenham. No such like no
information on him either. Hopefully
that means he'll be fit for sappy but I
don't know but the manager did make
changes and know Michael Keane and
O'Brien come in. I think everyone sort
of sort of expected that Pford was in
which was really good. We couldn't
change the fullbacks because we haven't
got anyone other ones.
>> But in midfield obviously Hayden Hackne
came in and and there was a staff for
Tyler Dibbling which I think we all
wanted. Jack Leish minutes and and all
that but I thought we started the game
so slowly like really put Wolves were
for me Wolves were much the better team
in the opening 15 minutes just look
quicker and move.
>> Well maybe maybe that was their plan.
Maybe they thought if they could catch
it in the first 15 minutes and then
stick every man behind the ball, then
>> that might be the difference. And it and
it could have been um except they just
didn't really fashion any chances. They
had pace on the way. I thought the lad
playing on the left wing was really
really quick
>> and um
>> but they couldn't really fashion any
chances. So
>> yeah, it always I think you always I
think it's always they always take time
because it's like like almost like a new
team that you haven't really you haven't
played in before and it always takes a
little bit of time to settle down in
these games
>> which you just you have to sort of
account for don't you? And it's just
don't make any mistakes in that in that
time.
>> Yeah.
>> And we didn't be fair. Um and yeah and
we got through that. And I think once we
started, you know, being sensible with
the ball and just keeping the ball, just
keeping the ball and getting into the
game rather than it be like too quick
where you're giving it away all the
time. And then yeah, once we were fine.
>> We were saying before we started how
impressed we were with Everton set
pieces. Absolutely. You know, brilliant
with my god
>> the new set piece.
>> Give me that contract. Give me that
contract.
>> That fair, you know, we go and get a
free kick. Jackie Elish is fouled. you
get a free kick and
the players are coming up to get in the
box and you think all right let's see
what they've got early on whip a ball in
that we took a short which ended up
eventually losing the ball and having to
to stop a counterattack and
>> you're like what's going on put it in
early and let's see what you know let's
see what the junior's got see what
they're like at the back and
>> you know it is fresh
>> I don't understand see for set pieces
when you're getting that kind of angle
that to me is where you don't do set
piece like a magic set piece
>> for me where you do like set piece work
is corners because they are you know
you're going to get three or four
corners a game
>> and you you know traditionally there's
only one way you can do it but you can
do it in two ways which is either swing
it in that way or swing it in that way
>> and that's it. So that's where you do
look for an alteration. But I think if
you've got a free kick on the edge of
the box, you get you get the best the
best free kick taker to just whip it in
a pace and hope there's a player at the
other end of it
>> and that's it.
>> I don't think that requires any kind of
rocket science or special special people
like that. We make it look so difficult
>> because I I cuz we employ people who
aren't really good at their jobs.
>> That's all I'm going to I couldn't care
less. We brought a fell who's got no
record of being a set piece coach. The
last fell had no record of being a set
piece coach. What are we doing?
>> What are we What are we doing?
>> Mhm.
>> I just It's just frustrating because we
hadn't really done anything. Then we get
an opportunity to put a ball in the box
and
>> I don't know what we do with it. We just
>> knocked it to each other and then the
angle had all gone and they were just
out and it was like and we end up losing
it. So no more of that please for sati.
Let's let's put balls in. Oh no. and put
put people under pressure. Um
>> we had a we had a few opportunities.
Jack Reish had one where he hit it
straight at Java Virginia who sh he
should have shaved it but he did save it
>> you know but Tyler Dibling you know had
a couple of little
>> moments where he showed that he you know
he can he can go on the outside one
which is what I've been asking for him
to do. not, you know, nothing to over
complicate it, but and Alan Irvine
actually said it in the uh in the
postmatch press conference, like if you
do the other thing and go on the outside
and put a ball in, then you're putting a
seed of doubt in in a defender's mind.
Is he is he going does he want to come
inside or is he going to go and that
gives him that time? And the first one
he done it, he went past the lad and
stood it up with his right foot, which
is what Tyreek did at Tottenham and turn
Barry and it's like that opens the whole
game up for you then. And then we saw
another one where a good bit of pace and
he jked along the line and it could have
he got a little bit lucky. The leg
kicked onto his other foot and it rolled
into Virginia's arms. But they were a
couple of bright moments where which I
think probably did them did his
confidence a bit of good to be able to
get beyond players. But I wanted to see
a little bit more of that in the game
>> in the first half particularly.
>> I I mean I thought he started slowly and
then just started building
>> towards you know towards his performance
in the second half. I thought Yeah. I
thought
>> I thought he I thought what I liked
about it was he he did a couple of like
you just said he did a couple of
different things and that's I think
that's what was important
>> not just doing the same thing and
>> sometimes he gets it in slows it looks
like and then he'll give it back and he
just like picks his moments and
>> I was quite happy the way he built up
during the during the game and and got
more confidence and
>> um
>> the one where he pulled it back I
thought he was brilliant to nip on the
outside and maybe he could have used his
right foot to pull it back rather than
playing at the outside of his left foot.
I don't know. But um it's fallen to
their player obviously, but I thought he
showed really good signs and as I think
he was encouraged maybe by the by the
crowd and that's good confidence and
>> I thought he done really well and you
know grew into the second half.
>> We I mean Barry's missed a great our
best opportunity of the first half
wasn't it? come. We'd had one where a
ball come swinging in and didn't quite
get a connection and Virginia's pushed
it out, but I think the flag went up
then in the end. But and then we had a
couple in and around the box where we
almost got Barry in and he went over
looking for a penalty, but don't think
it was and Hayden Hackne couldn't get
his foot round one when it broke in the
sixyd box and he ended up running away
from goal with it before going over. But
the best chance of the half they thought
to Barry it's we've got in. And I think
it's Jackie Elish gets in and he puts it
back to G. Stands it up. It's a good
ball
>> and he he does a lot right in terms of
he pulls off the defender and the yank,
but he's got to ed it down. Yeah, he he
has it powerfully enough. It's a
brilliant save, but it's at the keeper
and and he gave the goalie a chance when
he he shouldn't give the goalie a
chance, should he? I think he was
already celebrating before he scored. It
was one of them. You can see with his
hands on his head, he's like, "Get it
down. Get it on the floor.
>> You've got an entire goal." And yet
somehow you've hit the goalie.
>> Yeah.
>> I thought it was I thought it was I
thought it was woeful. I really did. I
kind of I can't make excuses for that.
>> I think from that from that angle got to
score.
>> You've got to score and and he hasn't
and
>> he should be walking away with you can
people can go he didn't have a great
game tonight but he scored whatever.
>> That to me is that's where he's got to
get so much better. He's got to be the
difference maker. Even if he does not,
he was okay. He was like pulling wide
and a couple of nice little touches, but
they're the moments that people will
look at and go, "That's a good chance,
mate." You he just adds that back
because the keeper's running across his
goal. If you had it down, the keeper's
more likely to do You've seen it where
they do the star
>> and it's down.
>> It's It's It's I know this is a we like
a weird comparison,
>> but literally that is the difference
between him and like a Harland. Harland
can be nowhere near the game and anytime
he gets a chance like that it goes in
the back of the net and he does that
>> he does that every game or twice a game
and and then whatever and that's why he
gets such incredible cuz he never misses
those one chances
>> and
>> he has to start not saying do what what
Harland does
>> but if he he has to start putting some
of these chances in the ones he had look
at the ones he had born with
>> you know as good a saves as was from the
keeper
>> he's got to score one of on that one.
He's he had to if he just eds that down
even sort of like a mis header where
it's but it's down. It goes under
Virginia cuz Virginia's running back
across his goal. He makes it worldly of
a save cuz it's it's powerful and he
trips it over the bar. But if he heads
it down, it's a goal, isn't it? And that
should have put us a goal up
>> when in at time no changes for the
second half. And
>> I thought we I thought we started the
second half better. Yeah, we were a
little bit had a bit more tempo about us
and got in a couple of times. Maleno got
in. Great little run and Gisha slid him
in and if he'd have just took a touch,
he he he done it. I think he thought
someone was with him. No one was with
him and he ends up hitting it straight
into the keeper's arms, but he had he
could have picked two or three players
out, but that was showing when we did
run beyond
>> they we caused them issues and we did
that on a couple of occasions. What did
what did you make of obviously Angley
mate Laz on the other side cuz he
started at Spurs and done the 70 minutes
and was in again. I I thought he looked
nice and composed on the ball and showed
some really nice touches as well. I
>> I thought he played really well. I think
there was I think one real example of
him as a as a defensive player was they
played it which ball in the first half
and he was a little bit you know he
creaked over into sort of like more like
a center half position
>> and they played a long ball and there
was a play behind him and he just you
know he just took about four strides
backward took it knocked it down to one
of our plays and we were away and I just
thought that straight away shows he he's
a proper right back.
>> Yeah. where his roll has been caught out
every time that
>> he roll and tries to head it doesn't
instead of dropping
>> and I thought straight away that was
like a really good sign that he
understands the job he needs to do the
positional sense
>> and we were away um there was another
one where in terms of going the other
way
>> I think Michael Keane might have had the
ball or it might have even been Micheno
can't I can't remember and there was a
diagonal on and he went
>> I don't even remember it and he he made
the run the ball never gotten because
whoever it was stopped and checked and
it was
that I don't know that's probably he
probably knows that from his Arsenal
days of
>> the winger's not going to check him the
center midfielder's not going to go with
him
>> and if you just played that ball he's in
on goal and I don't think I think that's
the difference again about having a a
right back who understands playing right
back but but also understands the game
around him now he might listen we
haven't seen early days and I'm not some
but I'm just those little signs I think
I'm really really positive that he's
brought up in a real like in a really
good football education that he
understands the role but he understands
that one ball he was it he was actually
if he if the ball had been played he was
one-on-one with the goalie
>> but we we maybe don't have players who
understand that
>> he might have cuz that
>> yeah he might
>> but I thought that that's a really good
sign that and then
>> he never made it but he had he could
just got back into position
>> but they're moments aren't they that in
some games it's it's tight and then he
does something like that you play him in
and and you get the goal and it's like
you know
>> and then I thought in the second half
his positional play really helped um
Dibblin out because he was given the
they've given the wit for Dibble to
go on the inside when he needed to and
we've been bemoning this for so long
about fullbacks
>> creating the overlaps or the overloads
and I think again it's against Wolves in
its early days but I think that really
helped
>> and also knowing that he's got a fellow
behind him a bit of pace as well
>> helped them as well. So I I thought I
thought he done I thought he done well
and again it's he's it's minutes in the
bank for him and and let's be honest
he's going to be at right back now
surely for the rest of the season. It's
up to Ro to try to roll once to be
considered there. He's going to have to
try to get up to speed and do exactly
what he's doing isn't he? Um we took Ti
Barry off although Tyler Dibling did
think he would go and run over and
looked a bit shocked when it wasn't him
and looked deserved to go well I'm
staying on Tiano Barry went off and and
obviously be brought on Brennan Johnson
into that role he had spoke about it in
the week and said that's what we have to
do if that's going to be the plan he's
got to be brought on at that time in a
game
>> can he affect it and he nearly did
affect it immediately I mean Tyler
Dibling
>> ever so Well ball played to him. Comes
in off the touch and plays an absolute
inch perfect. But it's a brilliant run
by Johnson.
>> And if he just dinks it, it's a great
goal, you know, and he listening,
but if he dinks it, puts a little bit of
height on it, he scored because that's
always one where the keeper's got to go
with his feet because of the angle. But
>> and then in that same move, they clear
it and the lads in and then Tyler
Dibling when you look at his starting
position, the lad's so far ahead of him
>> and he catches him unbelievably. That's
what answer about want to see it going
the other way. I want to see that pace
cuz that pace
>> it was an unbelievable tackle. It was
different play. It was different class.
It was brilliant by Dibbling.
>> But I want to see that going the other
way cuz that's the Dibling I saw a few
times
>> running at Liverpool and when he was at
Southampton and City and that was the
one that got me excited when we were
getting him. It's like he's going to get
it and just drive. We haven't seen that.
We've seen a Tyler Dibling slow the game
down all the time. Yes, he keeps the
ball, but he's got to have effected at
the other end. But I just thought that
pass was was fant. Brilliant run, great
ball. Like I said, if Brennan would have
just dked it, it would have been a great
goal.
>> Yeah, it would have. Um and then the
tracking back is superb
>> and Moyes should have a look at that.
>> We don't we don't problem we we don't
get to see that pace because we don't it
was like me and Ro last season. We never
knew he was fast because we don't put
him in those positions to see full full
sprinting. But don't you think sometimes
for him though he can push it and just
go then with that pace?
>> Maybe. But he liked running with the
ball and he was an instance a little bit
later where he picked the ball up and
full of confidence at this point
>> and um
>> he's running towards the south. So he's
>> I can see and the way he just sort of
manipulates the ball really good to just
keep that I think he has to get a little
bit faster and a little bit stronger
>> um
>> just to protect the ball and then I
think he ends up winning a foul which we
probably ruined the free kick. Um
and and yeah, by the second half he was
he was very very comfortable, wasn't he?
He was like, I've got this. And I think
by not taking him off was was was and I
don't know whether it was ever in the
manager's mind actually, but
>> but I'm it was a real boost. You know
what was mad though? Someone said this
>> and I saw it as well when we were making
the sub. The manager had the sub bar,
sorry, had Brennan Johnson ready
>> and he wasn't he didn't bring him on
immediately. Yeah,
>> it wasn't as bad as the
>> when he was bringing Alaz on. But
>> but he went Moyes went over to the the
fellow with the he was doing the numbers
and said something to him.
>> Yeah.
>> And then come back and then they made
this up. So I don't know whether they'd
sort because he he was he they he had
Brennan Johnson ready and he went back
to the bench and spoke to must have been
Alan Irvine I guess and then he went and
spoke to the fella doing the thing. So I
don't know whether in that moment he
gone actually we'll leave Tyler on tape.
He might not. He might have always been
staying on. It was just that he went and
unusual for a manager to go and have a
win.
>> That could be I don't want to be like
over the top here, but that could be one
of the most definitive
>> what could be so important of Tyler
Diblings ever clear
>> not being taken off at that moment would
have been like
>> what what you want for joged over. So if
sort of if a player starts jogging over
remember years ago there's one for
people who are much older than
>> but you remember when Liverpool had
Robbie Keane
>> and in the 55th minute of every game
he'd take him off
>> and it sky and everyone started focusing
on when and he'd go like that every time
and just turn he hadn't even seen it and
start jogging over cuz bene I think
bonita used to take him off and it
killed him and in the end he was like I
knew at that time I was off so no matter
>> they bling it looked like oh there we go
again it's me going off so going you're
right going over him more he's going get
back on you get back on
>> that would be like and then he did sort
of go up a level after that of like
we'll be seeing it with the pass Johnson
and obviously running back so I I hope I
really do cuz at the moment I'm
>> willing it rather than seeing it I've
seen bits don't get me wrong but I'm
thinking well I'm always looking going
like we are we're not a team that gets
go lots of goals everybody knows this so
we need these wide players that go up
levels because they have got to score
the goals and I'm looking going
still when I watch you sometimes I
understand why a manager doesn't go
Tyler you're coming on to turn this game
but maybe those little bits last night
maybe that confidence comes and he
starts going actually yeah you might be
the person to unlock it with a pass like
he played to Johnson we don't see that
passen Johnson with all due respect
doesn't play that pass does he from that
right wing position do you know what I
mean I don't know he's more like
>> Jack is play that pass
>> or Jack playing
He I imagine he could, but he but I've
not seen it. It was a hell of a ball and
I hope I really do hope that that isn't
and I hope you're right. I hope that's
one way you look back. We always go on
about the film Neville tackle, don't we?
And all that, but maybe and hopefully
that is a moment where you go that might
have really helped that moment. is he's
obviously got the kind of character that
needs an arm around him
>> and that's and if that's if Mo's twig
now you can't you've got to meet people
halfway haven't you sometimes there's no
point like
>> you could said that exactly you said it
then you know exactly you know where is
the love as well you know what I mean um
yeah
>> if you you got to you've got to like if
the lad needs an arm around them and
what was what was happening before
wasn't helping him.
>> You've got to change it now. You've got
to he's a he's a kid.
>> You got You can tell he's a kid cuz of
his horrendous boy band haircut.
>> Do you know what I mean? Like one day he
will look and go, "What the was I
thinking with that hair?"
>> Like Harland realized that in the
summer, didn't he? He was like, "What am
I doing?
>> Shave your head." Um
he he
you have to get and I just but I also
think though I do think having a proper
right back behind you does does help and
will affect will affect his game as well
so that he's not thinking
>> oh if I lose this ball with deer
>> you know he's got that pace behind
>> but he's also got someone who's who's
willing cuz Maitlin Niles made about
four or five runs last night on the
outside never got the ball but he was
going into those spaces and
>> with all due respect Jakey wasn't.
>> We were playing a Okay, we were playing
a championship team. I appreciate that.
But it's all about having those little
having that belief and and he got man of
the match and he he didn't just get man
of the match, he he he got like 87%.
Now that to me is like a a massive vote
of confidence from the fans and fans
will be I mean if you thought the ASU
stuff was bad last season with 30
minutes against Southampton this is
going to be if he doesn't get game time
not starting games but if he doesn't get
if he's not a a choice now then people
are going to start going hang on you've
got this small squad and listen for all
I know the plan might have always been
this the plan might have always been
>> introduce them slowly give them the two
cup games and then start drip feeding
them as we need them. And if that's the
case, that's the case. But when you look
at that bench, there's not a chance on
earth we can afford to have any
passengers this season. We just last
night we had two goalies and two kids.
So we already had four passengers.
>> Braden Graeme was never coming on unless
we were three up.
>> Let's be honest. Or we were two with
five minutes to go. He was never coming
on. So that's four of your nine,
>> two center backs.
>> So that's six.
>> So the the we basically brought we
basically brought on the other three.
Well, if Brennan Johnson is going to
come on in that role and actually
thought he did he did okay busy stay and
he had the one where James Garner he got
in and he fires it across. He goes
sliding and if that misses Virginia he's
got to tap in and he just scored.
>> Um so if that's going to be his role
then he shouldn't be on the right hand
side should he? He should be the reserve
striker for now. So therefore it should
be Tyreek George and Jackish and then
Tyler Diblin is becoming an option then
you know they always switch
>> Tyreek go over and say Jack whatever it
is however it plays out but throw Tyler
on the left at sometimes a wacky idea
and let him go on the outside but um
>> he need to be an option cuz you're
absolutely right with the squad our size
we don't we're not heavy with goals
>> then he he needs to be an option cuz if
he's not an option then I don't know
what we're
we may well get rid of him in January if
he isn't an option because what do we do
with him or let him go on loan cuz what
>> I think what we saw last night is a
player that against plenty of teams in
the Premier League he can he'll he'll be
fine
>> all right maybe there's maybe there's a
few where he where there's still you
know it's open to debate but I think
there's plenty of teams where you go no
he'll be he'll be all right against
these will he ramp I mean the the actual
to see the danger after he's played
Johnson in to spot that danger and then
to sprint back the way he did and so in
the tackle
>> and I watched Brennan Johnson and again
I I think Brennan Johnson will be fine
forever but I watched him against United
not running with people in the opening
15 minutes letting people run and sort
of going well what I've got to do that
where he spotted it
>> and actually if he doesn't make that
tackle last night no one criticizes him
for not making that tackle like it's not
his man to to chase
>> so by but by doing it it's like
>> wow that was amaz that was amazing and
you've made it just stopped the uh you
We might have just got Well,
>> yeah, he could have scored.
>> That was the only way. I mean, they
thought they got the other chance,
didn't he? When the I thought the lad
had grabbed hold of Micheleno, but when
you watch it again, he just didn't know.
>> No, he just No, he
>> he went over easy then.
>> He just sort of gets out muscle.
>> It was a good save by
>> Yeah, it was a good save, wasn't it? So,
>> but yeah, you know, we're not I think he
did grow from there, but again,
>> I still think we were too pedestrian. It
was too slow and and we ended up
bringing on Tyreek and Charlie Alkar and
again we hadn't stood up for eight. I
don't know why. I don't know why the
manager was hesitating cuz we cleared
they we cleared the ball pieces.
>> We cleared the ball twice though up to
the halfway line. He still didn't do it,
but he brought them on him and we seen
Tyreek has just,
>> you know, the first thing he does within
two seconds, he's put someone on their
ass and then gone past about four
players and just didn't get the final
bit right. But he's electrified when
he's out now. John Travolt has turned
up. Um
>> he's he is electric when he runs with
the ball and he gets you on the edge of
your seat. I I love watching. We hadn't
we hadn't had any pace in the game. I'd
be to that point. There was no pace at
all.
>> Not really. None. So he added patient.
Yeah. He he just uh
>> Yeah.
>> He gave them something to worry about,
didn't he? Because it was a different
thing. And obviously Jack,
>> you know, they were try he'd been booked
and they were nibbling.
>> Jack was rubbish. Let's be honest.
>> No, no, but what I mean is they were n
winding himself up cuz he just didn't
have a very said it loads this week.
It's his touch and if he's not fit, he's
got no touch. But fair play. He did say
it was his first game for eight eight
months starting a game. So you got to
like you've got to remember that as
well. So um
>> he'll be fine.
>> No, he really but it's his touch that he
needs and he he won't get it till he's
and I was saying last night with Jack,
>> I'm not being funny like but none of
this coming off on preseason for sorry
for for the break. It should be like a
mini preseason for him.
>> It should be like knuckling down for two
weeks and having a mini preseason and
then having a few days away. I think
>> then having a few days away with your
with your mates. Um, it should be it
should definitely he needs a a little
mini preseason and that should be
starting next week. Well, it be I mean
hopefully it be him roll and Norgad
>> in that break getting themselves back up
to speed and stuff.
>> Even
>> and yeah, you need that inner thing,
don't you?
>> And and James Gardner
>> Jimmy Gardner.
>> Jimmy Gardner, you still you need that
like core
>> fitness.
>> Core fitness. And I know they'll they'll
say you can go well getting into the
knots. It's not the same thing as a
players always say that.
>> Well, they'll say it.
>> Yeah, they say. hopefully for like
>> for a couple of weeks they do have have
a little mini preseason.
>> But we did get the goal. You know, Tyler
did bling involved again. He moved the
ball over to him and he does really
well. He comes in and it's a great run
by Alcarez into the gap and he threads
it in. It's a pass he should make and
I've seen some people going slightly
overboard with the pack, but I get it
trying to build them up. But it's a good
ball and Charlie does brilliantly. He
faints the shoot and comes inside and
then does what you want him to do, which
is stick it in the corner of the net.
And it's a a really good striking and
we'd already missed a good chance
Michael Ke should have scored for him
you'd expect him to hit the target but
we got the lead and made up for Charlie
cuz he's had to wait hasn't he and he
does he does come up with a goal every
now and again you know he scored against
Mansfield didn't he last year in the car
last goal wasn't
>> yeah I think so but he he didn't have
injuries and things he didn't get you
know a lot of game time but he's another
one we're going to need him at times cuz
look us up but he hasn't started the
season brilliantly either, has he? He
was he was frustrating last night.
>> It's like it's like he's um it's like he
plays catch up in a game. It's like he
he's always trying to make up for
something he's already done and it's a
little bit frustrating and
>> they'll click.
>> No, I'm sure I'm sure it should. I'm
sure it will. But it was a good goal,
wasn't it?
>> No, it was a lovely goal. I thought I I
did like again it's not the most You're
right. It's not like you wouldn't go,
"Oh, it's an un It's not like the pass
he made for Johnson." But I do, but it's
more like in the execution just like the
side of the And it was almost like
>> he was playing that ball for him to hold
on so he could move on the other side.
It was I'll give you it. I'll get it
back. But Charlie does brilliantly. And
that's where Alcarez is effective, isn't
it? And again, it's
>> you know I can every day we see people
in the comments talking about like why
isn't Alcarez getting a chance? It's
like well it's because it's Jol's never
getting dropped. I don't know. There are
like you will always have your spine in
your team. He's never getting dropped.
>> But then
>> but then he could be taken off. I was
going to say he could be taken off for
10 minutes or
>> because Charlie the one thing he's good
at is he's got a good shot. He does seem
to get opportunities like I think to
>> think was it United or Palace? It might
have been Crystal Palace.
>> Was it United? One of them. He had a
couple of moments where he was in the
box and shot right
>> if we were in Europe. Oh my god. Charlie
Alcarez would be amazing for us if we
were like if we if we were in the
Conference League or the Europa League.
He would be so good for us. He would be
that player that you could bring in to
replace Juby Hall on
>> be hall at Chelsea.
>> Yeah. He he'd be that th he'd be your
Thursday night player
>> and he'd be perfect for him.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> And that builders conf and then that's
where like cuz like
>> he'd be like Yeah. It'd be like in Jifer
City if you're that. No, but he would.
He'd be that player that you go like
because of all the games you you will
play probably, you know, all the
European games till you get if you get
to the knockout rounds.
>> But we're It's mad because it's like cuz
we've got so many cuz we've only got a
small squad, but at the same time it's
like
>> Yeah. But you're playing you play in a
position
>> that someone plays better than you and
there's no other position you play in.
And that's the problem. He doesn't play
in any other position. He's not a player
you can go right, can you just drop in
center midfield or can you play wide? He
only knows the one position and it's
that's what makes it really difficult
for him, doesn't it? So all you maybe
does have to trust him a little bit,
>> but all he can do is keep chipping away.
He's not going anywhere.
>> No,
>> he's not I don't think we're selling
anybody in January. So he's our player
till, you know, he's our player till
next year. So So he's got to just keep
chipping away and hope he gets
opportunities and
>> see what happens. I was I'll be honest,
I was disappointed after the goal cuz I
thought we might go and put our foot on
>> the pedal and take the game away from
them and we didn't and we just started
passing it back
>> which was so frustrating. The problem
with that is what we saw nearly happen
was
>> we tried to just there was three or four
times we broke quickly and we had men
over
>> and we end up turning and passing it
back
>> and then
>> you creep it into injury time and they
go and get a free kick
>> which leads to a corner and you're
thinking if they had this corner in or
scramble it in it's going to penalties
you could go out have a game
>> you should never have been in any doubt
whether you got through. I mean the
worst thing about that that's that it's
it's come from the stupid it's come from
pick as the the the opportunity from a
bad kick
>> and then he has another one like
literally in the last minute where he
lets he lets he takes that chucks it
when he didn't need
>> when he and he bobbled up and then
>> he played it down the line we were on
the break
>> so I I did it there was it got mentioned
to me last week that apparently
>> before the Spurs game he was struggling
>> and there was talk that he mightn't have
played last
So maybe that's it's maybe it is a groin
issue or something. I mean it's
speculative to other people. It's
speculative that don't like take that
with you know
>> but maybe but you've got to you know I
can understand why he wants him to play
but you know what what I mean is don't
do them kicks. There was one know what
the one that really frustrated. There's
a bit on the on the side, right, where
Dibble had the ball and then Ghana's
going over or whoever and then Dibble
get it back and then Ghana and what they
would but they were boxing themselves
into this corner to the point where the
only place they could go was back to the
keeper and but but they did about three
or four times and you're like no no one
of you switched the play to the other
side cuz it's completely open but they
didn't they went back to
>> they got pressed into this tiny little
space and then it was back back goalies.
was like, "No, when you get a yard, find
a a midfielder and then get it to the
other side to to George and then all
their players in the last minute of game
or last five minutes are all going to
have to shift over." That's how you get
out of those situations, not by
>> continuing to keep we were boxed. And I
was like, that's what frustrates me more
about the last like 5 minutes was like
the stupidity of what we were trying to
do. So
>> yeah, it only takes one free kick or one
corner cuz if you're it doesn't matter
who you are. If it's the last win game,
you're getting beat one nil and you know
UI class it's going to pens and you're
in a ground where everyone's a little
bit nervous doing it.
>> Yeah, you're going to think and with
their record and everything just I just
kept thinking
>> brains like that that's where brains
comes in football brains comes into it.
>> I just I think that we we'd got the goal
and therefore go at them again cuz
they're going to be a bit more open
which they were going but
>> we had the ball. It wasn't like we
didn't have the ball, but we we kept
choosing to go back and it was just a
bit frustrating. But listen,
>> Dale said, "Well, we just managed the
game." And we did.
>> Managed to
>> But they could have, you know, nearly
thought
>> they could have grabbed it. But listen,
we we we got through and that was all
that mattered. Just we spoke we spent a
bit talking about Tyler Dibling, but
just let's have a look at his numbers
from last night.
>> There you go. 90 minutes, which is, you
know, a nose bleed time for him, isn't
it? 90 minutes in Evans. Yeah. But there
you go. One assist, the allimp important
assist, 90% passing accuracy, created
two big chances, completed three out of
four of his dribbles, won nine out of 14
of his ground jewels, which is
excellent. Three tackles and five ball
recoveries. And I think for him, he
should be he should be, you know, giving
that should give him the real shot in
the arm that he needs. And then Alan
Irvine talked about him afterwards.
like, "Yeah, he he looks like he belongs
here, you know. He looks like an Everton
player and blahy blah." And that's what
we want. We want him
>> to be a viable option for us. He has to
be. He has to be. We We We can't carry
anyone. We shouldn't have two goalies on
the bench.
>> No,
>> we can't afford to take, you know, have
the king on there, though.
>> The king. You can't You can't have
>> You can't have Tom King on there.
>> He's the man.
>> He's the third choice.
>> No, but he's the king. Have we seen him
like Luke Steel now?
>> I think so. I think so.
>> England's Luke Steel. Fell who was on
the bench for Brighton. No, he started
last night.
>> Oh, did he start on the bench for
Brighton on Sunday who in the World Cup
basically if I don't know how he came
was in the shower and forgot his links.
>> He was he got you go
steal and he come in with his links
Africa the the gel the shower gel
>> and that's that was his job and he got a
medal for a medal which is unbelievable
which is unbelievable. What was he doing
for them in the World Cup? He got
>> I like to say I would like to say listen
to wait for six weeks. That's all I'm
saying rules.
>> It can be lonely.
>> No, obviously very good in the dressing
department and but we've got Kingi.
>> Okay.
>> And Kingi is the man.
>> Well, going to Wales is he to do the
>> Yes. to do the job show. Very good at
what he does.
>> No, I scored the longest goal in English
football so far.
>> But is he the longest in the shower? um
>> take like let the kids go back to doing
what they need to do and get let's get
hopefully because we don't want it but
we we do know that players will
get injuries and we we saw that last
night you know we saw Harrison Arms
they've basically he's picked up a knock
and he's fine but we don't want to
chance it so he's like not even involved
in
>> must have been a bang must a tackle or
something and train him but
>> so it's like well there's a Premier
League game and
That's the key.
>> That's the thing, isn't it?
>> Let's have a look at the overall stats
from the game.
One, Wolverampton wonders nil. 16 shots
for Evans, six for Wolves, six on Tiger
for the Toffees, just two for Wolves.
Jordan Pikford did have that save to
maybe his feet and then one that he had
to push away late on the XC 1.68 for
Edin, 0.26 2-6 for Wolves and Everton
with 62%
possession. So we're through. We're into
round four where we will face Newcastle
United at home. Be a tricky one. Could
have been worse of course. Could have
been drawn away. Could have been away at
Newcastle. So opportunity
>> to knock the barcodes out very much so.
But bit tough game, but at home and
that's all you can really ask in the cup
for a home tie. So
>> we've won. It's a clean sheet. the the
treble is on. The invincible season is
still on.
>> Still on.
>> It's still on. So, you know, that's
Let's all remember that.
>> And um the count
>> onwards to onwards to Ipsswitch on
Saturday, which is which is I think it's
a really big game Saturday for Everton.
>> I think if Everton can can win at the
weekend, then I think they can be really
really really pleased with their opening
>> seven games. It'll be, won't it? So,
>> um let's do that. Let's do that. Let us
know what you think in the comments
section below.
Balls nil. Who was your man of the
match? What impressed you? What didn't?
