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

[Davidoff]

Mate Keane had hold of his hair deliberately… he was holding it like a pony tail and had a fist full of it ..

Jack sarcastically clapped on a yellow and. It even slyly

Violent? Really?

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Where do you start with that referee what a jumped up little nobody he was. Serious questions have to be asked about why he sends of two of our players yet let's the worst tackle of the night by Hwang only get a yellow card.

That is two tier refereeing right there in plain sight.

Yeah, that was a real cruncher on Garner.

 

[BullensRoad]

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 hasn't 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.

Every player will be growing long hair and dreadlocks now.

If you think he tried to cause harm you'll be best with the women's game.

 

[Mark barnett]

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.

80 mins his first sub after conceding a equaliser and being outplayed in the 2nd half by the worse team in the prem.

 

[BlueTX]

Last red card for violent conduct via hair pulling (July 25)


And another in Dec 24

I simply don't see these actions as comparable. Yes, literally the same (handful of hair), but one is clear intent and the other...?

 

[Fedlingen]

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

A 30 year old premier league player with 300 premier league matches should know better. That's my biggest issue here.

…McNeil finished the game poorly, losing possession when most needed but before that I thought he contributed much more than Dibling against Brentford. Much more involved, came into central areas and delivered some fine set plays, including the one we scored from.

I know that view is highly unpopular, Dibling will get a chance at the weekend we all hope he takes it before Ndiaye comes back.

So you’re saying subs should have been made to remove frustrated and tired players off to avoid any further consequence? Subs that didn’t come until the 83rd minute, a goal conceded and a man down?

We don’t have many subs. At the time of Keane’s red, we weren’t displaying open and flippant frustration.

No way could Moyes have predicted a hair pulling. Now, Moyes should’ve called Jack over and told him to st*u.

I like Moyes and think he’s good for where we are but not long-term. His decisions aren’t always great. But with a razor thin squad and no subs, Jack had to stay on and was solely responsible for his own actions that hurt us, not the gaffer.

I don’t blame Moyes for not being a baby sitter and that he didn’t anticipate his star player who is 30 years old and achieved everything you can would revert to a child and screw his team.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Tonights game has been brought to you by the word 'Sloppy'.

 

[spence03]

Rooney years ago? Anything else?

It wasn't gone he was frustrated after being kicked about and being the most fouled player in the league.

Will Saha got a second yellow for it a few years back. Caicido got a yellow last month for it.

You're arguing like I think it's a good rule. (I dont), but he'd already been booked for mouthing off at the ref. My whole point was Moyes should have seen it coming.

 

[mikel_88]

Dont let the red cards take away the rubbish performance pathetic. Right side offers fa then grealish everytime slowing the game down waiting to cross the ball. Cm just not good enough aswell just sign some players ffs

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Crap result and fairly crap game.

I think the sending off was harsh, I’ve seen it a couple of times and Im not convinced that Keane meant to pull his hair, he jumps and puts his head down, he could have pulled his shirt, if his hair was shorter, then it’s at worst a free kick.

Grealish was daft for what he did, already on a yellow, but often Refs don’t apply the letter of the law and if he had been a City player, there is no way he gets a 2nd yellow for that,

The referee lost control completely. But even when it was 11 v 11 I thought we looked bad. Why was Irogbaunam our player getting shots off from the edge of the box when he can’t shoot?

The only plus point is that Keane is out for 3 games, so surely that means OBrien at CB and either Garner or Patterson at RB. I just hope he gives Patterson a go and he does well

 

[Bez2k2k]

Anyone got a clip of Hwangs tackle

 

[Blue Roo]

Tim was good today, faded in the second.

Rohl for Tim was the logical sub.
Taking Armstrong off was really poor from Moyes.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

It actually forces Moyes to pick quite a balanced line up

I agree, mate. Some of our best starting XI have been from necessity. Moyes hates it and shows that by reverting to his old ways the moment he can.
