Match Thread Everton v Them - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

With a big striker we win that game, nothing against Maupay because he run his socks off. I just think we lack height up front.

….we need a squad. He’ll get plenty of game time supporting Gueye and Onana. Ultimately, he’ll need to win a place but I don’t see him starting when the other 3 are fit. Tom Davies will slip down the pecking order, especially with Doucoure back training.

We have a bit of effective depth in CM now.

It'll be nice to be able to bring good players off the bench for a change

If they used the correct angle he looks offside by his shoulder. In saying that I still think the shoulder thing is just plain stupid. After all he scored with his foot which was onside. That’s their ruling though, so with the current ruling he is offside.

Edit. Sure they said they were going to start giving the attacker the advantage as well which I’m yet to see. Gray and Isak goals prime examples of this not being used.

It was offside.

Whats klippery had to say about it?

Nothing too controversial tbf

 

[banno]

Is it true the ball came off Milner? Richard Keys (can't stand the fellah) says so and that the goal should have stood

 

[DanB90]

Lads, it was offside.

One of them isn’t it.

Enjoy your weekends.

I was surprised they didn't play Salah

Oh, apparently they did, he was found in Myko's pocket after game

…it did come off Milner, but I don’t think it matters if he was offside when Maupay hits it.

i must say, I thought it was offside the moment he put it over the line. I was surprised it was so close.

Just checked last season’s table again, and even though it gave me PTSD I seen we had 6 draws all season, this season we’ve got 4 already.

Obviously need to start winning but so many games last season we weren’t picking up points in, we seem a bit more resolute this season.

We look more organized, better balanced, more energetic and more motivated than under the FSW.

His height wasn't the issue it was hitting our best chance direct at the keeper.

 

[MrD]

Can't complain with that result. i fully expected us to get battered

 

[Twaddle]

Sadly it was offside. Annoying but accurate.

 

[badger5187]

We look a much better team. Solid and all of the team are working for each other. VVD should've been sent off as well why didn't var ask the ref to look at it?

 

[Sharpies volley]

Was it just me or did anybody think Milner moved his arm up and touched the ball with his elbow when Allison made that flying save. Not sure I saw it properly. Think I might have got caught up in the moment.
