The problem with this incident is that Walton booked Drenthe for the challenge.
This means that it was dealt with on the pitch, and so the FA cannot look at it.
Yeah, I know it sucks but thems the rules.
I think the biggest grievance is that there is no consistency.
This challenge was far worse than Kompany's although Vinnies was two footed.
For what it's worth, it didnt make a difference to the result. We were gash.
No end product. End of story. We can blame the ref, but at the end of the day
we were just not good enough.
i think it did have a bearing on the result,it meant everton didnt have to worry about getting a man sent off,like we did with vinnie and lescott.
drenthe was subbed right after that incident with,what 9 or so mins left.if he was subbed or sent off earlier,we would of had plenty of time to attack without worrying about their most dangerous counter attacking forward.
