Nice 3 on 2 if he just dinks it into the box as well..

Yep, was a lazy ball mate.

 

[Mrk]

That was a bad one to make though mate. I'm blaming the commentator, he say's Sigurdsson's ball is cut out" lol

To be fair I thought it was him at first too because of that. Easily done

 

[KaiserEFC]

Yup, every single time. Ticked all the boxes, didn't show up, had some injustice that we didn't use in any way shape or form to our advantage and then conceded a late goal and then another one for good measure as we love to do that too.

We managed to silence 2,000 fans who had not watched a live game for nine months after about 20 minutes with out inept performance. Takes some doing that.

Christ, never thought of that.

 

[Chris O'Connor]

They've played four tough games on the spin with virtually the same team.

We miss the quality but when they're injured we've had to defend and beat Chelsea, Leicester and Arsenal...had to defend sgsin against a team with more quality..then Richarlison too.

Take James, Allan, Digne, Richarlison out and you know you've stripped the quality. It's as good as the fourth game with the same lack of quality team could be...United just have far more depth and can rest players.

We defended reasonably well and rode our luck for periods especially early on,. We can't keep picking the same players with so many games close together and expect them to perform backs to the wall heroics against better opposition just relying on counter attacks game after game, it was just a game too far.

 

[UltraVires]

While I am as disappointed as anyone and think a lot of the squad is not up to standard, I think we need to be realistic.

We have a good solid spine of players to build from and we are slowly getting rid of the deadwood. It will take time as frankly nobody will equal the wages we are paying them

 

[Wolf8312]

Can somebody tell me why did Cavani was not sent off...grapping Mina by the throat surely has to be a straight red card...yet Gary Neill not saying much about it...thank god we have VAR in the premier league

Kinda made me realize and remember what life was like without VAR. It’s frustrating sometimes but at least the ref can’t just ignore things he either didn’t or doesn’t want to see.

Why no Cenk in the MOTM Poll?

No minus in the poll...

 

[ToffeeTim]

We're specialists in failure, nothing more nothing less

 

[marsh]

Was it last year that only some tv games in the FA cup had var and rest never??

I'm not sure tbh I thought it was just VAR at prem grounds

Why no Cenk in the MOTM Poll?

[Ring master]

lol

 

[ChesterBlue]

We need to get shut of the man who bought the rubbish.

Walsh bought Sigurdsson and Tosun, Gomes was a good played before his leg break, Davies came though our youth team and most people thought Delph would be a solid signing. The delight you take in us failing really annoys me mate. Blaming Brands for Gbamin’s freak injury etc, either support the team or just ignore them.

 

[BlueToff]

It was pointed out Toff, I'm one embarrassed Evertonian at this moment in time mate. lol

Haha no worries.

Tosun shouldn't be on. Shouldn't be in the squad. And it's on Brands and Carlo, that.

 

[kenada_blue]

Seen plenty of bottle jobs over past 30 year, most have been against good sides though, we couldve easily been 5 down after half hour against one of the worst manure sides in my time when we are supposedly progressing.. at home, in a cup qf that we really really want to win.. the whole team looked scared.

First 20 was awful. But we settled down after than. And the 2nd half was dull from both sides.

The league game loss was a far worse performance.

 

[blulouie]

the ref was looking at it, for at least the end of it anyway

4th official had a far better view....he seen it all.....stinks.
