Match Thread Swansea v Everton. 19th Sep at 15.00.

I honestly don't even think that was a red.

Frustrating that. We've won half points on offer. We do that till end of season we'll sit about 8th give or take. So these are the games we need to turn into wins if we're gonna push for Europe.

Swansea are no mugs at home. Not many teams will come away with points from there...ask Man Utd

When the fume is as straight up dumb as this current one, i get an image of the whingers as kids at the keyboard hitting the keys with a crayon, jam all over their big red whinging baby faces.

Love you Everton. Well played.

I thought it was a very good performance,we kept Swansea quiet,the same Swansea everybody has been praising for the attacking prowess,I didnt agree with Naismith starting I really dont think hes good enough despite the hatrick last week,Kev was just an idiot stupid challenge and the red card fully deserved

 

[Caso01]

Sorry if I upset a few mirallas defendants but if every sub who was angry at not starting did that every week then we would end up with at least 100 sendings off every week.
Ok he probably should play, probably angry at not playing but still no defence for it.

Martinez has handled Mirallas very poorly.

He's been subbing him all year, and now Kone is fit it's like he has to play him to validate spending 6m on him.

No problem with benching good players, but when we are not scoring and dominating like that, you got to let the lads on the bench have a chance to prove their worth and get into the team, that's healthy competition for places.

Good sub Gerry on 60, bringing Mirallas on in the 91st was a joke, give him 20mins FFS atleast.

That sending off was frustration from Kev, not saying it excuses him, but Martinez is not giving him chances, and he is a potential match winner.

 

[LAToffee]

The ref was terrible for both teams. Letting fouls go and then overreacting to stupid stuff.

Or maybe, he's just a bit of a tit?

It all depends on how subjective you are. If you can't see why he would be frustrated and do what many a frustrated player has done then you're not worth discussing it with. Because you're mind is made up.

When was the last time either of them scored, Lukaku does seem to have gone back to his old uselessness

Lukaku should have scored two today - we played very well v a good side not many teams will out play them like we did today browning. and RB were brilliant today the defence controlled thing too easily - KM was the down side using him as a sub I am sure his instructions were to not go out there and stamp on a Swansea player in a dangerous area!
Other than that bad luck , near missises sloppy finishing cost us we don't often blame that!

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

How did Galloway not get a hat-trick? Bad foul by Kev but a straight red? Certainly harsh in my opinion.

 

[PULLIS]

That Mirallas red card was never a red card. It was also embarrassing to see a person who assaults women (Barrow) go down in that way.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Could have won that with some decent finishing, mind you, so could they.
Meh, a point at Swansea is fine, six league games played , five goals conceeded. Damned sight better than this time last season.

Poor challenge from Mirallas, I've seen yellows given for that, but can't really complain about it being a red.

 

[davek]

Takes some doing to go there and boss them.

I doubt anyone else will this season.

 

[Azzurri]

Good performance, that. Strange not to put Mirallas on earlier, but we'd have probably took a point before the game the way they're playing.
