Everton must wise up to cynical opposition tactics, say Martinez

[deipnosophist]

True, but if referees started handing out cards like a Vegas dealer when players other than a team captain start surrounding him, you'd see that practice end sharpish. It's dissent, plain and simple, and should be penalized.

Allowing this behaviour to continue unpunished is a descent to dissent

Hopefully it's be a decent descent into dissent.

Liverpool have had this since Shanks they're not overtly dirty just good at the street savvy stuff little niggly blocks and harmless looking trips when overrun in midfield.

Allied to the fact they always have at least one really top player you can see why even in the fallow years they still sneak cups quite regular.

We need players to carry blades in their socks.

 

[Coach]

We need to batter them in the return match that's what we need to do.

And given it's happening more-so nowadays, it's a recent decent descent into dissent

Dont think its cos we are a "small club" as some poeple have put it. Everton are amoung the biggest in the county...in europe even.

I dont even think its too much of a problem, ive seen us not put the ball out of play when a player has gone down this season even - personally i think its only been brought up cos

a) it was Arteta - a former friend of the club
b) we lost the game so want to deflect a bit from that.

Some might resent the recent decent descent into dissent.

Surely he should have given that speech the day after Barry placed the ball down nicely for Walker and then proceeded to turn his back on the ball, along with our entire backline, for Walker to then calmly wafted it over their heads for Adebayor to slot the winner........

Just saying.....

the problem i think is big club / small club mentality.

Notice how the 'big clubs' now are the ones who do the little tricks, crowd the ref, get decisions their way?

There is nowt new about it.

Leeds were doing it back in the 1970s.

Said this for years, not holding my breath about it changing though. McCarthy is pretty much the only player with a bit of bite we have.
