Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Runub]

Annoys the hell out of me, that. He got back up, and a commentator said that's why it's not a pen, but if he stays down, he's dived. I'm still not sure, but why no advantage for a start, with their 'keeper off his line, and Richy in possession?

Exactly...if they let play run just a second or so someone would have got a shot off. Then to do the restart they did is just bizarre

Feel robbed after that

 

[Methuselah]

4 wins? From who?

Edit: 12 points will leave us on 27 points from 20 games, that will be bottom half

Bad times

12 points will be from 12 nil - nil draws.

How come they end up with the ball? I can't fathom it.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Sadly football is becoming as pre determined as wrestling now with VAR just a way to facilitate the right result.

 

[PhilRegan]

Yeah, you must be really gutted we didn't lose.

Embarrassed we didn't win

 

[ForeverEverton]

Where are you getting 20 games from? 11 games played + those 7 = 18 yeah? Burnley and Newcastle would take us to 20 after that

Yes 20, Burnley and Newcastle are the last 2 games of December

We could do with someone taking more risks in the box. Digne put a fantastic first time ball in today and everybody just looked at it fizz across the six yard box. Make the run, whats the worst that can happen?

even with Dom, we don't have enough

There's very little quality to our play and that's not just on the players. We were happy to let James go because of wages etc, but we desperately need to improve in that area

Give over. Holgate absolutely deliberately tried to do Hjoberg.

Didn't look good did it

It's had with no transfer budget, but RB substitutions today were puzzling..,..

 

[ricer10]

I guess "new manager bounce " also comes with biased officiating as well now !?

 

[Joey66]

Didn't look good did it

He came back on looking fine - he made no attempt to go for the ball just obstruction on Holgate imo deliberately turned his back it looked bad, John Moss had a mare at VAR the pen plus that - we got kicked slot today particularly Townsend.......

 

[Ducans elbow]

What did he say?

That Ritchie hit the ball first , and the keeper took him out
A pen all day

 

[The Sorting Hat]

One win in 8
Bottom half of the league now.
Man City next

In a tight game you need the referee to do his job. That penalty call is the difference. How it can be deemed a clear error is bonkers
