Andy Madley performance

I have to admit, I haven't enjoyed our play as much this season apart from the big man making goalscoring look ridiculously easy. I think there is too much passing with no real intent, especially as a lot of it is passed around the back, very safe, not zipped with a purpose. We then decide to ping a ball out wide, wide man controls it and passes it back and round and round it goes. Our play needs someone to drop the shoulder, flick the ball round the corner, someone taking on their man with purpose etc. It just feels too safe, keep possession at all times. We also end up with Ake and Stones in advanced positions with the ball, but the opposition are happy they have it there as usually there's no threat. I don't think Pep has got his tactics right since Haaland has arrived. I hope he does soon though, as we could be out of the league if we lose a few matches over the next few weeks. I do trust Pep, but like some of you, get frustrated with his lack of change in matches like today's.
The 'maybe' twins don't help - Grealish and Mahrez.
 
Inept twat. I hate time wasting and how it’s seen as the norm in games we play in now, it’s enough to make me stop enjoying football as a whole knowing I’m about to watch teams cheat their way to a draw/win and the cunts who can do something about it don’t bother to. Fuck off
Correct. I pay decent money to watch this and feel constantly short-changed.

Need to start penalising it like they do in cricket when the over rate is too slow.

Said exactly the same. And did last night too after Pawson at Liverpool. It’s an expensive do being a football fan and having to sit through a 90 minute game with the majority of it being out of play because of stoppages and time wasting is a load of shite. Something needs to be done about it and quick. Teams (Everton today, Southampton do it constantly against us too with results) will carry on doing it so it needs to be penalised.

Stoppage time in the WC lowered from the start until the end because teams realised it wasn’t worth it. Not difficult and was implemented in the space of 4 weeks. Jokers.
 
Appalling

Are these clowns having a secret competition between themselves to see who can put in the worst performance of the season?
 
Him and Atwell, on Wednesday, are shite refs.
They both let them cheat, foul and time waste at will and done fuck all about it.
We need protection from refs as the opposition are talking too many liberties against us and it’s time to change how games are managed and go to how they were reffed in the World Cup. The cheating and time wasting would soon stop.
 
That was one of the weakest refereeing performances I've ever seen in what must be over 1000 games of live football.

The guy lost total control of the game from around 20 minutes in. Got reeled in by Everton's time wasting and feigning injury tactics.

However, as a fanbase, it is our duty to get on the referee's back and put some pressure on. He wouldn't have got out of the ground alive elsewhere in the world after that today. Not condoning that, but he ruined that game today, not Everton.

We need to make this place a fortress in 2023, too many of these charlatans turning up on a Saturday and ruining the paying fan's experience. Roll on stop the clock, it'll put an end to so many negative teams, and actually help people like Madley and his brother who don't have the personality or stones to control a game of football that they are paid a small fortune to officiate.
He gave a performance the Premier league would have been proud off done exactly as he was told.
