Don’t worry lads, we can all calm down now. Apparently they’ve now had a chance to review it some more, and admitted it actually probably was a penalty… so that’s nice to know…

Statement should be followed by “We’re sorry Paul Tierny is the most incompetent individual we have and Kavanaugh just really hates Everton. They’re both being shipped off to northern Canada.”

If we get relegated, it will be because EPL refs will have taken 10+ points off of us for about the 6th season in a row. Its beyond obvious at this point

Mate, if we get relegated it will be because we have been [Poor language removed] for 90% of the season.

We should rattle the cage more though

As someone said. They will try to "fix" it by overcompensating in the next game

On Wikipedia Chris Kavanagh was on Man City books till he was 13.His whole family are City fans he also as a tattoo of a blue moon on his arse and his man crush is Phil Foden.There you have it he's a corrupt horrible little cheat and a scruffy b@stard like all City fans.UTFT.

Lol, that's a made up one

Sorry folks.......just a few more points. Disappointed to not get anything from today's match. But hopefully missing out on getting a point , won't make a blind bit of difference at the end of the season. That's the way I'm thinking. That's the way we have to look at things. We have to move on. Be positive.
It's all now about everyone staying fit. And playing like we can play. Like we did today. Like we did against Brentford and Leeds. We can play .
When everything is aligned. And Lampards coaching takes affect. We can play. Time now for this bunch of player's to turn in a few decent performances. They can play. I'm convinced of that.

We now have to beat Watford.....Newcastle.....Brentford......Pick up points against Spurs.....Man utd......Palace....Wolves......Leicester....West Ham.
I think that we still have those teams to play. So still plenty to aim at. Still plenty of points to be won. So we are not doomed just yet.
But we need to start winning. We need to start scoring goals. Can't depend on our defence. So we need to start scoring.
The Watford.....Newcastle and Brentford games are now must win matches. We will win those. No worries folks.........we will win those games. Up The Toffees..

We needed out-balls at the top of the pitch and our forward players were tiring. There was only so much pressure our defence could take. Holding on to the ball in city's half is also a form of defence so I can see what frank was trying to do.

I get that but Ritchy was doing that really well, we needed heip around the middle to stop the forward balls.

Lol, that's a made up one

I can believe it though after that decision ???

 

[allezlesbleus]

Well that was gutting in the end and I live in fear of so many referees cheating us on the pitch or through VAR. The game is not straight.
But despite that there were so many positives to give me hope we will avert disaster and have the chance to regroup in the summer.
It will be tight but I think we will get just enough home wins to pull off the escape.
COYB, keep your heads up everyone and fight, fight, fight with all our might!!!

Bad luck today. Every time the ball broke it seemed to go to a City player.

VDB Doucoure and Allan is the only midfield option. Only.

It looked like cramp to me, in which case he'll probably be fine.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

I can't worry about fine margins like that when we have had 38 games not to be in the margin of error. Let's stop playing the victim and actually win some football games.

If you get relegated (or win a trophy for that matter) by a fine margin, then fine margins matter.

Doubtful. They could give a toss about how we feel about them.

Via BBC, if not already said

Everton have 22 points from 24 Premier League matches this season (W6 D4 L14), their lowest tally at this stage of a league campaign (assuming 3 pts/win all-time) since 1929-30 (also 22), when they were relegated from the top-flight.

Worth noting we went down with 35 points then and needed 37 to stay up. Barring a miraculous upturn in form of everyone else around us then it could be as low as 28-30 points to stay up this season. Different times but it's still a scary fact for sure
