Match Thread Everton v Manchester City, Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[chrissyjack]

Well we’re not going down going off that performance

Up the robbed toffees

 

[Bristol Blue]

Didn’t even call the ref over to check on the monitor, that’s how blatant it was. I’m fuming here

 

[BlueToff]

Absolute disgrace

 

[RomanReigns]

VAR owe us one

Obviously everyone will be sitting in the dressing room totally deflated after that, but Lampard needs to change the negative into a positive, say to the lads "OK, so we lost, but that was better, everyone will see that we were cheated out of at least a point, EVERYONE. But what was the lasting impression that the fans took away? That we were done, royally done and not that we didn't compete. Had that finished as a draw, the fans would've been made up and cheered us off. They know the score, we played well today, they were expected to beat us comprehensively, but they got lucky. NOW, go out and take luck out of the equation in future, there's clearly an agenda at work here, so let's remove that factor, play like we did today, put the yards in and luck will take care of itself"
There is clearly one rule for the sky six and another for the unfashionable clubs, we need to accept that, move on and overcome it, win some games and stay up in spite of them

 

[PITA]

Yes bro.

So you didn’t answer the question. I wonder why.

Not enough evidence mate, VAR needs some satellite images obviously

Positives from this though is that we would have drawn with the best team in the league had we not been cheated out of a penno

It was obviously photoshopped by a bad blue

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Should have covered the ball in red paint so that VAR could be totally sure

 

[gianthogweed]

Fair enough if it was hit at him but the ball spun away from him and he controlled it with his arm

 

[Jacob]

Christ Almighty.... how does that account for them being given for less. Clearly depends on individual judgement... er... just like as was, being the one ref. Its a mess full stop.

 

[Dykovski200]

Ok, VAR robbed us, there were multiple decisions against us throughout. But let’s take away how good we were from start to finish, we showed heart, passion and proved we can challenge against the best teams, if we can play like this home and away we will survive the drop. COYB.

 

[carolinablue232]

Sure looks like Dias leaning is keeping Rich level…

 

[Parky]

I've seen some total crap decisions in my time but that now tops the list. Total corruption, if we get relegated by a point it will be down to this

All the prem and sky want is their April 10th CityvRs blockbuster to remain relevant and competitive for their worldwide army of tele clapping subscribers.
The spice must flow at our cost today.

It always strange how they get these super Sundays, where you got the top 4 play 1 another the same day or derby day Sundays. TV ruined football as Clough said it would, before Sky smaller clubs could challenge teams like the RS. Football was relatively honest, now match going fans only bring in a small amount of they money brought in. Meaning clubs who have large TV audiences are favoured over smaller clubs. As the BT sport commentator mistakenly let slip, Rangers weren't supposed to beat Dortmund, it,s not designed that way. In the past teams like Red Star Belgrade, Ferencvaros, Widzew Lodz and Anderlecht could challenge the RS fairly. Now it,s designed to keep the big teams in where they,re guaranteed 6 points against the bottom side and can be helped to beat a Napoli or something.

 

[Toffeelover]

Cannot believe this, we wus robbed.
