Match Thread Everton v Brentford. Preview, Match Report and MotM poll

[Walter Ego]

I’ve just seen the replay of the Richarlison pen. I’m not one to go on about this type of thing usually but I’m coming to the conclusion that either VAR and our refs are utterly incompetent or there really is corruption in our sport. I think it’s the latter.

Having Coleman at centre half tells you all you need to know about the state of our squad and the amount of players we have had unavailable through one thing or another this season.

Lampard cant change much when there is no one available that would make a better option.

effort is not enough, Actual skill matters as well But 10 men though....Lad Ha ha. I were a lad 40 years ago

arle man then? we had ten men for
70 minutes it invites pressure

 

[NathDogg]

Not being funny, how can they justify that not being a pen and then the red card doesn’t happen - Oliver is staring right at the foul ffs, it’s just bent.

You can’t legislate for shocking calls like that, it’s disgraceful and var should be all over it (not that it should have been needed!), but once we scored the second I feel Frank should have changed it and just got the defensive players on - Allan for dcl possibly. Can’t really have a go at him tbh after the shocking decisions completely changed the game.

Dunno why everyone is panicking. We'll be fine. New DOF to sort things out in the summer and we go again.

Ffs yeah I wonder why

 

[RomanReigns]

Have the pgmol come out with a statement to explain why they didn’t review the shirt tug on richarlison and ask the ref to take a look at it on the screen?

 

[MACCA75]

Why didn’t Allan play?

 

[Billefc]

Hope they keep their heads on Thursday

Can’t afford to go down to 10 men

When the f. Ck was the last time we were playing somebody, They went down to 10??? Its like trying to walk in treacle with these officials, compare it to that other shower, given trophy after trophy! Disgusting!

 

[Walter Ego]

I voted Myko btw with a nod to Holgate, thought he did well in very difficult circumstances. We need to be stopping croses though. Time and again this has been the cause of goals this season.

They review everything... everything. Which makes it worse.

Darren England decided himself it wasn't worthletting Oliver check it.

The whole VAR thing is pathetic.

Thats a red if a player is in on goal.

We sat abck and had everybody without the ball.
Please, tell me how you park the bus more, with limited players available to select?

Please.

It has also been pointed out that you are very much a WUM and giving fingers out those who disagree. So enjoy your Sunday.

You've no idea how many times I've been called RS or had fingers given to me. You seem a reasonable bloke though so I'm happy to debate with you.

I've told you how good teams do it. And we had the players who could have done it if the man who can't be blamed had taken action instead of swigging water every time a decision was there to be made. Mark my words, Everton are going nowhere but down with this clown in charge of playing affairs.

 

[banno]

But that is the worst I've ever seen a side play with 10 men. We just stopped competing. They were clocking up 90% possession stats all 2nd half which should not have been the case. Probably a reflection of how poor we are as much as the tactics though tbf.

We had to attempt at shutting up shop and defend a lead........it didn't work. With all our CB's out it was a difficult task (I don't class Holgate as a CB personally)

 

[deipnosophist]

just woke up and am disappointed to see that result. And I see another red card. Would it have been a red had an RS player committed the action that precipitated that punishment? I suspect not.

Hope Leeds don't win their last game. But I believe the PL want us relegated so I think they will
