Match Thread Everton 0-0 Newcastle - Saturday 5th October - 17:30

[linderoth]

You pull your foot back to smash the ball into the net and someone takes you out. At these moments it's always important to go back to what if it was Tarkowski on Salah at Anfield and we all know what the outcome would've been.

Well it sets a weird precedent that you can just stick your leg in from behind while a player is about to kick it and as long as they kick you first it will be all good.

Except that it won't set any such precedent of the sort.

If such a thing was to happen to Salah or Haaland it's a penalty every single time.

Just another case of the Everton ruleset.

Ndiaye the only bright spark once again in an otherwise drub affair

Pickford did ok

But we've come to expect that

I know where you are coming from, many felt the same. I just liked him and the Everton of that era

So sorry mate u haven't seen better Everton teams unlike us old fogies but Hibbert while not the worst right back I have ever seen for us was atrocious in most of the high pressure fixtures we had in that period when it really mattered.He wasn't alone in that regard.

Has there ever been a player that skies a football as much as Gana, It seems like every time he shoots it ends up in the crowd

 

[PhilEFC]

Fair result in the end, both poor teams.

Shows how bad the league is apart from the top 6.

 

[Carlito]

Fair play to anyone who can muster enthusiasm for this utter garbage.

Yes Anthony Gordon

 

[bobbylatch]

The important thing is that we didn't lose and we are finding a way to grind out results, again. We need to beat all those around d us and we will be fine.

Fair play to anyone who can muster enthusiasm for this utter garbage.

I’ve came from the game, and I’d say there was a lot of positivity coming from the ground; it wasn’t a great performance, but we dug deep.

Fair play to anyone who can muster enthusiasm for this utter garbage.

Makes you wonder what’s in the drinks at Goodison

 

[Runub]

First PL clean sheet of the season. Worth celebrating no?

 

[allen]

Pleased Goodison has managed to avoid seeing a Gordon goal for Newcastle and the subsequent unbearable celebration.

At least it’s been spared that indignity.

 

[Vintage]

Another club delighted to see the back of Goodison. Would love to draw them at Goodison in the cup and knock the shirtless clowns out giving them a reminder of their place as a small club

 

[PhillG94]

Proper gritty performance that and a good point. Good defensive performance and unlucky not to get a pen. Team looks easily good enough to survive and I don’t think we will be in trouble. Don’t get a lot of the negativity on here.

 

[Tommy Chong]

….it absolutely does depend on the team. What is up for debate is whether there is an agenda or are officials star struck.

Bet you if the penalty incidents from today's match were reversed, we still don't get Newcastle's one, but they'll get ours.
