Match Thread Everton 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers 19:30 Weds 7th January 2026.

[Curtis]

At least Keane is out for three games

 

[Papa Shango]

Literally where we should be after the previous 2 home games …

Brentford are well better than us and have been for ages. We have no reasonable expectation to just turn up and beat them.

Wolves however...

 

[Fedlingen]

Didn't see the first yellow but 3 claps does not get a second yellow ever

CAUTIONABLE OFFENCES

A player is cautioned if guilty of:

• dissent by word or action

If our players are stupid enough to give the referee the chance. Then it's on the player 100% of the time. However unfair the player may deem it.

 

[Ged G]

We really wernt, rotten second half performance before two reds issued correctly as per the rules

Except next week, depending on the team, the decisions will be different. THAT is the point.

 

[Bez2k2k]

McNeil is running around losing the ball and we have a 50million quid winger on the bench.

Barry did nothing. Like actually nothing.

All of these things should have been addressed at half time.

 

[Ged G]

Fresh legs were needed as I'm sure you know, Beto, Patterson, Rohl and Dibling could all come on to keep the energy levels up, pretty obvious really.

Fair enough about the legs...

 

[overkill]

So for the next game, McNeil has to go back on LW. He might even do better than Jack who’s always slowing down play. Not sure about RW but it’ll likely be Dibling. Armstrong in the middle with Garner. This will also force Jake back to CB. Patterson will just need to step up.

It actually forces Moyes to pick quite a balanced line up

But it's never consistent is it though? See players giving the ref loads especially the top teams and nothing happens. That's what annoys me. Do it all the time or not at all.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Dickie Masters must have been in the refs ear.

 

[SuperTimCahill]

Have every player grow their hair a meter long and refuse them to use hairbands and we'll win the league. Opposing players sent off every time they try to grab a shirt as they'll surely get a handful of hair as well. Master strategy

 

[maccavennie]

Pickford MOTM for a world class save to earn us a point.

 

[ftk43]

Regarding Keane's red card - the rule's name is "violent misconduct" or something of that sort which implies intent to hurt the opposition player, but Keane was in the air and just grabbed whatever he could and ended up pulling the hair.
There was no malice in his action, so i think it's unfair.

but Grealish...He just got one yellow for mouthing off at the ref, why couldn't he shut it for 10 minutes, he's been a PL player for almost 10 years at this point, he knows there's no one to replace him in the next game if he gets the red and he still couldn't help himself, well i guess the passion is there (lol), but really, he's supposed to be a leader in this team and this is not how leaders behave.

Anyway, i'll be rooting for Mali tomorrow, sorry Senegal

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

He doesn't class it as violent.

The rules of the game do.

It happened in the Womens Euros, it happened to Cucarella recently too. It's not like its something that has happened before.

By the rules of a game it's a red. The ref had no choice but to give it once he saw it.

Why, so they bring in a stupid rule due to the women’s game and carry it over to the men’s and it results in farcical decisions like this.

It’s outrageous and they should come up with to codes in chance.

 

[h8kurdt]

Broke my back and ankle on the 2nd and it's been a horrendous few days.
It's basically out an end to my season ticket for the next few months. On the last two showings? Well I'm not saying I'm glad I've got this injury happened but bloody hell least I've a good excuse to be able to not make it to these horrors shows.

Can we have that for Van Dead etc, too, please? THAT is the issue
