Everton (a) post-match thread

No mention of offside on MOTD

Just outrage as usual whenever a var decision favours City. Never any of this outrage when scum or the dippers benefit

 

[Marvin]

Has anyone commented on the superb control of Foden to score that goal? Fantastic reaction.

 

[Shaffer92]

I guess “I thought he was going to be out for three months when he was on the ground” about Ederson from the commentators means the piss has been boiled…

I was watching the supersport feed too.. who was that on commentary who said that? He was absolutely gutted when Phil scored as well.

MOTD were the only level heads after the Arsenal game in January, to be fair.

Shearer hasn't been so angry since the last time VAR ruled in our favour!

Yep noticed that

We both know that was a stonewall if that was against us the conspiracy merchants would fill 1,000’s of posts on here

It's been the sort of week in the media that makes me enjoy days like today more than I probably should!

Pep seems to have prioritised chumps league.
Trying out different formations to see how they work.
I want the experiments to STOP!

Yeah, coz pep never tries anything different in the UCL.



It still hurts goddamit.

I think Foden was offside for his goal but nobody has noticed it.

Keane played him on

From the FA rules regarding handball

If the ref had given the pen, then I doubt VAR would have overruled it but the ball strikes Rodri's upper arm. It's borderline.

The fact the arm is in a natural position also renders whether it is green or red irrelevant

According to the latest news I've read, there was no offside before the penalty the VAR just thought it was inconclusive, so we completely got lucky there because that was a penalty. If we keep playing like have been this game and the last we won't win the league.

Wrong...they didn't check for offside because they ruled no handball...had the handball been given the replay with the lines would shown a clear offside...same result...no penalty...

I know ,but they're always seething about these decisions which go our way. They can't talk reasonably even if they disagree with it

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Why he persists with Sterling is beyond me. Has he ever retained possession?

Careful…you almost said he had poor touch and lacking technical ability!

@kaz7 will be ‘avin ya if you say that!

That said, he was not alone today.

High levels of frustration with multiple players and no-one covered themselves in glory today, with the exception of Ederson & Stones.

 

[youngbob]

It was a stonewall penalty that should have been given. If Liverpool had gotten away with it we'd all be apoplectic.

It's fine to just say we got away with it. We don't need to bend over backwards or find some previously unseen camera angle that apparently "proves" Rodri didn't do anything wrong, or that Richarlison was offside in the build-up.

We benefited from a lucky bounce for the goal and then benefited from a bizarre VAR cock-up for the non-penalty. It's a bad decision, neutrals will see it as a bad decision. No conspiracy, nothing underhanded, doesn't change the result.

 

[Metalartin]

or that Richarlison was offside in the build-up.

But he clearly was offside... That wasn't the reason it was dismissed because they weren't looking for it. Not because they checked it and it was onside. Why not make an argument instead of acting better than everyone, when you're just being ignorant.

Different argument but there was no one near him madness doing it

thats what he said tbf. They ruled no handball. In which case we got lucky.

 

[fitzy blue]

Don't know why most of the media are saying it was 100% penalty, it hit the top of his arm so its 50/50 at most, it went in our favour, end of.

 

[JewelZee]

The play was stopped for offside after the incident. The referee is just pointing out that it's to resume from the offside decision, just like he would point for a goal kick etc.

Regardless...offside before and after...better yet..the fucking ball popped up to Rodri because an OFFSIDE Richarlison kicked it into Ederson...watch the whole play...it would have been a travesty to award Everton a penalty off an offside run...

 

[JewelZee]

How are we lucky? If they ruled handball they then would have checked for offide...which it was...
