I've been saying it for years. There is something rotten inside Everton.

Not 100% sure of the ever changing offside rule but as the ball was deflected back by Gomes to the striker who was in an offside position should it not have been disallowed?

lol

Wasn't it the State of Denmark that was rotten or somewhere?

Well, that was horrible. You could predict the outcome just by the set up in the first half.

They were there for the taking, yet we sat back and hardly tested a keeper who should have been peppered with shots.

Poor tactics and a team unable to finish the few chances they did manage to summon, results in the predictable frustration I am sure we all feel right now. Roll on 2019!

This may go down as the worse year ever.

No BHA player touched it that was offside prior to that touch, so no.

If the players can't string 2 passes together and do the basics correctly then what hope of being consistent have we.

No, if it comes off the other team player then it is not offside.

Still confused about the ref changing his mind though, the lino waved for offside and the ref blew for it then they had a bried chat and changed.

another 8 points should hopefully see us avoid relegation

least we have burnley at home second last game of the season

Thankfully we will never see a back 5 again or Niasse in an Everton shirt.

The same liner let that corner be taken outside the D......

Ref could see that Gomes hit it is my guess. No way the line could. It was a good job by the officials in a game that I thought they were fairly one sided. But again, it's away, that's going to happen.

We change the players, we change the managers, but nothing ever changes. Everton are just crap.

We’re yet to find another Kendall (mk 1)...and we have glaring deficiencies on the right. Seamus and Theo need binning...
And we can’t string 3 passes together in the oppo half.
In short, we’re bog average

1) Judge the bounce of the ball.
2) Cusion the ball, to control.
3) Be aware of 2nd balls.
4) Stop ball watching.

4 very simplistic traits that all professional football players should have. Sadly, we binned these 'ideas' off today.

Very concerning, indeed.
