Everton (a) post-match thread

[Trickyblues]

Presenter on sky seems to think the ‘handball’ has cost Liverpool. Disgraceful. No mention of the team it could have cost who are fighting relegation.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Didn't we have a similar handball not given earlier in the season? The player leant into the ball to stop the cross from the left wing and it was said that it hit his t shirt upper arm, can't remember who against though.

Wolves.

 

[Dzeko9]

Richarlison was clearly offside.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

We got lucky and this is what we need now to win these kind of games

I don't think the VAR could have given that handball cause no one was around him, the ball was going no where close to the goal and it was very close to his chest. If he had intercepted a ball moving towards our goal it could have been another story!

I hope we don't play like this against Man United or any other team for that matter and we get back to our best after this win.

That is the biggest load of claptrap I’ve ever read.
Do you actually know the rules of football?

Would loved to have watched that penalty appeal sat with Klopp bet he’s well pissed lol

Klopp has been annoying for the last couple of weeks.

 

[ancoats]

right lets put this to bed ?? everton 0 man city 1.. result in the bag nothing else matters

Crazy how angry some other fans are that they didn't get a pen.

It was offside, but beside that it hit part of his sleeve. Oh they'll argue it hit more of his bicep than sleeve, and I'll say Who fucking cares? Not an Everton player near by to have any meaningful advantage, completely useless to give pens for such situations.

 

[alexmcity]

I felt we clicked 5-6 minutes before we scored.

We began to keep the ball very well and patiently suffocated them. Generally, we were good in the 2nd half.

Think we'll play better vs United. We lost momentum with the loss from United last season. The team peaked in February and couldn't finish the season strongly. Hopefully, we'll beat them this time around and hit form at the right time.

Completely different. His arm was in an unnatural position and stopped a cross.

Rodri’s was by his side (moving because arms move when you move) and the ball just bounced up at him and didn’t prevent anything

 

[NorCalBlue]

It’d be nice for neverton, fans and players alike, to treat liverpool as their derby match, rather than us

They were the last team to take points off Liverpool a couple of years back when we won it with 14 straight wins, so I’m grateful for that!

 

[eyalluvitt]

Boss, Boss they are saying it was maybe an offside before the handball

 

[Sky Blue]

Richarlison was clearly offside.

Just surprised he was on his feet.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Richarlison was offside in the build up to the supposed handball, so same as if they’d scored a goal it doesn’t count because of the offside, also the ball hits him above the on the shirt and I believe that’s not handball.

This hasn’t been confirmed anywhere, has it?

 

[Protein Junkie]

We don’t often win ugly and I don’t care either.
Love this club.

 

[Gazza]

Klopp has been annoying for the last couple of decades.

I’m sure this was a typo. You mean years :-)

 

[paulchapo]

We ground out a win today but we need to get our form and fluidity back sharpish for the run in. A few players have dropped off in form as well. For me Kev wouldn't be a starter as we look too open with him in the side.Before it was justified as he created a hatful of chances.every game but that's lacking now. Bernardo needs to be back in the middle.

 

[waspish]

3 points :)).

No teams gives us an inch they run there bollocks of for 90 mins! We deserve those 3 points because of only one team wanted to win where the other one just wanted to stop us playing and cheat.


Thought we got so lucky with that handball but before that it was ofside which the American channel pointing out not sky though.

 

[BlueBanger]

you sound miserable. We’ve just won!!

get some perspective and don’t just expect 4/5 nil wins every game. That was a very tough game

Everton towards bottom of table
Us top of league
A week off so well rested
Almost fully fit squad
Best manager in the history of the sport

On top of all that we looked like a championship side in large parts today. Perspective indeed....of course every city fan is pleased with the points. The points however are ALL i'm pleased with. You do you and i'll worry at some very worrying signs.
