DCL advertising razors.

Get on the pitch lad

Thinking that for Wednesday night tbh mate.

Checked the weather for L4 on Wednesday. Patchy showers (like us) and 9 degrees. It won't snow.

We're getting the chair on Wednesday. No clemency.

So are there more people crossing to the dark side ? More shouts for Benitez out ?

It's a results game and we have been losing far to easily......

I blame Rondon for the lack of a penalty there.

If he showed even an ounce of interest, he would’ve gone down holding his arms out to trigger an appeal.

It’s hard for the rest of the team to kick off if the guy who got fouled is all “yeah, whatever,” about it.

 

[Lob]

Regardless of penalties, the reality is that not one Everton player would get more than a 5 out of 10 in that first half and that is the reason we aren't and haven't been winning football matches.

 

[banno]

Our players couldn't even be bothered to challenge the shirt pull. WTF is this team lmao.

True, a strong enough appeal and they will look at it

 

[Saint Domingo]

I have also said it’s not a foul anywhere on the pitch, if a player wants to bend over and head a ball, when he should be using he knee or his foot then that’s his fault.

The exact same happened in the other box. Both players went for the ball with their feet, Brentford player puts his studs on Allan. Why is that not a pen, but if Allan was stupid enough to duck his head down there it would be?

Could you bore off for one week you tedious kopite wum. Haven’t you got some song sheets to be memorising for your annual trip to Merseyside?

Kopite because I think Townsend kicking someone in the face actually is a foul.

Good riddance

- I win 6 grand when Everton drop
- We get to watch local players who give one
- No derbies or "expected defeats"

Bring on Colchester away! I've heard their pies are fab

Be nice to watch us win a few games. It may also cause Brands to be sacked and Kenwright to be flushed

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

They got a goal out of nowhere, we are playing some decent football and just not getting that little bit of fortune….

Playing decent football? Nope. It’s been stale and ineffective.

 

[kenada_blue]

Can only hope for a point here.

No doubt we'll huff and puff and they'll do us on the counter or we shoot ourselves in the foot

 

[LocalNative]

Lucas digne has been pathetic this season. Makes schneiderlin look like a work horse.

He's not arsed about anything.

Makes me sad to see how much Digne has been ruined.

Sadly it's a result of the way he's been asked to play these days

 

[Tubey]

I still maintain this isn't Benitez's fault. He doesn't have the tools to work with.

However, the fact we all know that same team is trudging out the tunnel second half is on him.

I think he'd achieve more with a better team and not many managers would do better, but I'm fairly sure I'd have picked a better side than him today and I'd be making better changes today, and I'm obviously not a world class football manager. So he deserves criticism.

 

[WA Toffee]

Yes, that first one isn’t a pen. He’s stopped right into it and Townsend only has eyes on the ball. If that’s a pen then no one can kick a football anywhere on the pitch for fear someone puts their head in the way.

If it was the other way round we would be wanting it (we probably wouldn't get it of course). He kicked him in the head, his foot was shoulder height, it's a foul.

 

[blueloon]

Stick Simms on , if we’re going to lose let’s at least make an effort while there’s a smidgeon of hope we can get a result here.
