Sometimes we complain that they're wasting time showing too many angles here it would have been justified, the fact that they didn't show the most glaring angle throws the spotlight on them and leaves them wide open to all forms of criticism.

Ashley Young probablyOne of the big questions from yesterday is...
Had it been awarded. who would have taken the penalty??

I think Alcaraz had the ball under his arm for a good bit, love the bottle on this kid

Me too.
Grabbing the ball for that free kick on his debut then nearly smashing it in the top corner was class.
Won't be many arguing when he wants to take another after that.
what hurt a lot about this game is that until the second Fernandes freekick was lined up I had no doubt we were winning that game
against manchester united
we were totally dominant and they were all over the place
i was never thinking about them getting back in, only will it be 3 or 4 nil
its crushing that they got back in to it, i think moyes has to take some bite for lack of changes though he is really limited in his options and everything was going to plan until that goal
they had two moments from set plays and then a bit of pressure when the heads dropped
a last minute penalty would have been one for the ages
the result in the long term doesnt really matter, we will stay up, we will be a mid to lower table side come the end of the season, but it’s the memory, the moment, the jubilation, the spirit of the blues or another rendition of elton john, it’s the streets around goodison being that bit busier after the match, the sun being that bit brighter, the pints sweeter …

I think we still have a deep rooted fragile mentality that may take a bit of time to overcome

I'd love to know how many times since the 70s we've been screwed by refereeing decisions, particularly in big games or against our closest rivals. There's far too many for it just to be part and parcel of the game and I don't believe in the comments that they even themselves out. Certainly for us they don't.

I still haven't got over the 1977 FA Cup semi final, I was only six and that killed my faith in the fairness of the game!

I always remember John Burridge literally screaming to his defence when they were defending crosses - ' get them out of my house' - as if his life depended upon it.
That's the attitude to have. Give them nothing. Make yourself as big and front up shots. It shouldn't matter if the ball hits you flush in the face. It won't kill you. Too often defenders seem to turn sideways thus making the target bigger.
We are naive when we defend though - giving far too many free kicks in dangrous places or easy corners. Just invites pressue and changes the impetus of the game.
If Pickford has one fault it is when he sets up a wall. Unforgivable that no one was behind Zirkzee for their first but even failing that it left Pickfords left totally exposed and he seemed to step to his right as well. Seen him do this before. Sickening to know it's going to happen.
Not hammering Pickford btw. He's the main reason we are still in the PL.

Not as bad as the Henchoz one against Arsenal in the FA Cup final.

That's right. For clear mistakes like that the PL should have to pay a fine - minimum £1m to the club. Saying sorry isn't sufficient.

Me too mate. I was 17 and that shower of Sh®®® were winning everything and that made it worse.
