......love the way our supporters don't like his histrionics and want him to cut that part of his game out.

needs to toughen up and accept defenders are going to admit defeat vs him and try and stop every run he makes. build some muscle and ride out the challenge. he's got way too frustrated last two games by little things and his performance has plummeted as a result. fuchs should have definitely seen yellow early on for the drag back though, weak refereeing.

Double marked now which shows how good he is and yet also most likely contributes to him tiring....
Once we have his "twin" on the left flank then were in for some exciting times.
Definitely got the better player off Barca, Traore has done nothing at Villa.
Hopefully Martinez can get in another young spaniard or two...get the national team scouts over to get him in the squad and then less of a reason to leave.

Meh. He's a Spanish kid. What do you expect?
As soon as he dives to win us a pen I'll accept your apologies on his behalf.

Totally agree, behaviour which does not befit the royal blue shirts of Everton.
A lot of us have given up on the idea that the modern footballer will incorporate those types of ethics in their game. Diving is a thing now, and unless retroactive punishment or something similar is introduced, it will continue to be an element of the sport. Sure, who was it last season who got blasted for not diving? Aston Villa player I think. The win-at-all-costs mentality rearing its ugly head.

I find it amazing after all this time, refs are still being conned by the most audacious swan dives and play acting. Some of it is so hammy you can spot a fake instantly, but the refs almost all blow up straight away for a foul.
When the refs stop buying it, the dives might stop.
I think we may have to recognise that if so many referees around the world are falling for it, it might be harder to judge on the ground with the speed and pressure that is involved in making a decision. I've made wrong calls, even with the benefits of replays, I can't imagine what it's like for them.

I've not given up mate and perhaps I am being totally unrealistic and even romantic, but the principle of fair play actually means something to me. I hate to see players trying to con referees, other players and paying spectators especially when in an Everton shirt.
A win brought about by cheating is not a win in my book.

Yes, of course, but how about they err on the side of caution a bit more, rather than making a game changing decision on limited evidence? They might get pulled over the coals post match if they chose not to give a penalty, but better that that the other way round.
....it's not only the diving, it's the absolute fundamentals that need to be sorted. Almost every player appeals for throw even if it's obvious they had the last touch. It just seems accepted behaviour and that could surely be stamped out.
Also, certain teams definitely have a strategy to pressurise referees. This needs to be highlighted and stamped out. I really think lots of this is achievable.

Or we should just start doing it too.
Don't get me wrong mate. In an ideal world you are absolutely correct in what you say. All that sort of thing should just not happen.
But it's not an ideal world and football certainly isn't an ideal sport anymore.
Everton need to more clever with things. We've been too nice for so long I've had enough.
On the diving, I'm not bothered that Deulofeu does it. Just think he needs to be better at it.
