Everton (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

The offside player doesn't impact Guehi ability to play the ball. Marc was in total control of the ball.
The only person that impacted Guehi is Guehi, he knew he was offside, didn't need to touch the ball (flag up or not at that point), if he doesn't the lad can stroke it home, and he'll be offside.
 
Having had a few moments to revisit my posts after the game - I will say the through ball from Kovacic was a quality pass - I was perhaps a little unfair but even so, I still think he was at fault for their 3rd goal- stay on his feet and get between man and ball and the move was over - he just hasn't got the pace anymore and for that reason he must move on and we need to buy another top class centre now Bernie is off.

I stick with my opinion of Phil - the season end can't come soon enough for him. I hope he can reset and get back in track because at the moment he is not giving us enough.

For next year we must get a player in the middle that plays on the edge and wins 50/50's - that will allow our attacking players room to work with. Anderson has looked good recently but it will come down to how much we would have to pay. There must be others that fit that role for less but it is a key position.

Come on you Hammers at the weekend...

He should have grabbed his shirt and yank the fcker down like Everton players were doing all game! Sliding in trying to win the ball being honest is not the way! Small margins we miss out on every game because we to fucking nice honest!
 
Kova was a disaster for his 20 mins tonight, including being bullied for the 3rd. Don’t think Gonzalez was bad today. We should have done better first half - for example I counted 4 times Nunes got to the byline and couldn’t put a decent cross in.
But pleased with the comeback.
By the way, how be many different explanations have been given for non red cards on our players?
Brilliant pass by Kova for the second goal but he did look rusty.
 
What title?
We've not been in it until a few weeks ago. Fair enough if we’ve been top all season but we've been given a free hit from mardarsenal as they can't close it out.
I'll say one thing though and that is you love throwing the shit posts in still.
But we were in it!!

5 game shoot out for the title and we fucking shit the bed against fucking Everton with one of the most complacent performances you’ll ever see.

We fucked it.

Glad you’re chuffed though
 
Think tonight also shows how vital Rodri is in general, but especially to this group of players

We just cant get the ball moving without him. Bernardo tries his best, but hes just not forward thinking, and has to spend his time directing Guehi and Khusanov

Nico G just simply not good enough, and Kovacic cameo just shows our lack of depth and quality in central areas

Dias and Gvardiol probably walk back in when fit, purely because of their experience in these types of games, add Rodri to that and you can see what were missing at the moment

Some of them need to toughen up and realise that they've stepped up numerous levels to be here; some really poor performances from some that have felt the pressure for the first time
You can't fathom how it's 2026 and we still don't have a Rodri replacement! Crazy.

Geuhi has picked us up since Jan, but tonight was a stinker.

I really wanted us to sign semenyo but he's probably the one player who has been really poor as the team has generally has picked up.

A RB, a CM and another wide option for me and we will be in and around the top again.
 
A bit gutted but, we are second we can’t win the league every year, we are in the FA cup final and have won the Caraboa Cup.
Keep going lads and fight till the end, you never know.
Haaland must be so pissed off with the lack of chances created for him.
For me this game gives very clear indications of our shortcomings, I’m not going to criticise anyone but it was there for everyone to see tonight. We needed everyone fit for the run in but that’s how it goes.
Good night from Benidorm Old Town.
 
Haha laws apply every game? Where was the fucking law for Sesko handball yesterday?
Remember your also allowed headbutt people too.

Also allowed pull Semenyo hair.

Also allowed stick your studs down Doku knee.

I could continue. He was fucking offside. He continued to chase the ball down from an offside position, Guehi only played the ball because he was being closed down...that man was in an offside position.

Absolute joke.
 
We score that goal it's disallowed. He's offside when ball is played.
But the law states once a defender has control of the ball and knowingly plays it, a new phase starts.

I knew it was a goal, I was hoping VAR/the officials had fucked it up, but they didn’t.
 
If he was under pressure hed have gone out to the touchline and gone down the line

You could see as soon as he passed it back that his face dropped, he knew hed fucked up
A good signing….but like Semenyo, he is discovering what it’s like to play for a top side…you have to be 100% on it every single game, no lapses, no 50% games…

I would add that he’ll improve next season
