Match Thread Everton 2-2 Man United. Sat Feb 22nd. 12.30.

[Mase]

the ref was terrible all match, now no one will look at it as a whole but just that one decision

 

[bluenorthwarrior]

“This season we’re raising the bar for VAR intervention, and there will need to be a categorical clear and obvious error to overturn a decision”

.......for 18 of the teams.

Sickener that
Poor game management and disgraceful officiating cost the 3 points.
Man United are a hateful diving moaning lot
Var seem to go through our goals and penalties every game like a fine tooth comb to find anything to rule it out
Why send the ref over to a tiny monitor with one crap angle also

does feel a bit like the var traffic is all one way.

 

[pfim]

Feels like a loss. Need to be able to keep the ball, changes needed to be made earlier

 

[DualityNSNO]

Well David Moyes, lets see you earn your corn in the after match interview.

Doubt he even says anything about this.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Doucoure turning his back on the free kick that lead to his handball is disgraceful from him. Unforgivable that stuff. Also think he could have come out and chased down ugarte for the second but bottled it. Shame as he was great first half.

He gave 3 free kicks away which created the 2 goals for them.

Moyes won’t learn from this, Doucoure needs to be off at 55-60 mins

Worsened after Lindstrom went off

Stupid result but still better than we usually manage against United.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

It should be that the on field decision is what determines the call and only if VAR sees something obvious does it get overturned. Unfortunately the Man U/PL factor has to be applied and so we don’t get the call. Old habits die hard. Can’t ever show support to Everton.

 

[Frosty1878]

Get off. What's he meant to do ? He's been impeded. Reaction is irrelevant

He’s been pulled back he’s went over from maguires touch very dramatic as well and would have probably got to the ball had he not. Again should of been a pen but he’s over sold it

 

[svenboss]

Ref and VAR at it again. Poor sub bringing Young on too early, should have been Alcarez. Then the other subs were too late.

I knew he wouldn’t give the pen. All the same the unbeaten run goes on and why not now go take it out on Brentford. COYB

 

[jonnyg]

Shirt pulls from TWO players and somehow the penalty gets overturned. Make it make sense. I thought for sure when they FINALLY showed the other angle that he was going to stick with the on-field decision. Baffling. Completely bottled it.

Immediately turned away from the screen like that confirmed it too. Wth.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Doubt he even says anything about this.

I reckon he'll lay it on thick.

 

[Cels]

We have another game on Wednesday so I hope we can last the pace.

He gasses himself out from his pressing doesn’t he. It’s great the pressing but he can’t do it for long until he’s dead on his feet. Once he’s gassed his composure goes and leads to so many mistakes.
