Is anyone else completely baffled how Richarlison managed to continue playing after rolling his ankle like that?

I would be in the hospital for sure.

To be fair there´s been plenty of times when I´ve done it running/playing footy and 90% of the time it´s fine.

When's the last time completed a decent cross? Im not referring to this game but regarding his career because i cant recall him making a single solid cross in the last several seasons its kinda ludicrous

If you're on about Seamus, who has been excellent, he put in three really good ones in that half. Nobody met them, but they should have done.

 

[CatalanToffee]

Theo is playing OK....probably better than Bernard so far so I feel it's Bernard that will be subbed if no improvement

But Bernard is a different player and he is able to do different things, he is trying to do something, I like it.

 

[BlueToff]

We've played well. Really well at times. Don't deserve to be level. Need to kick on and put this game beyond them now.

If we get that penalty it's game over.

 

[EvertonCJ]

Played some decent stuff. Confident that we will go on to win.

Sooner we bring in a striker and replace Coleman with a right sided Digne the better.

Tosun would’ve got to one imo. Or at least dragged someone away so Sigurdsson/Bernard/Walcott got at one

Does anyone else on here feel that Seamus needs to work on his crossings?

 

[Wat Tyler]

What a shame there's no VIDEO TECHNOLOGY that could clear these decisions up.

It's beyond a joke. It's cost us on six occasions already this season. Stupid. Gash decisions all of the time.

Anyway, doesn't excuse Zouma for falling asleep from that corner.

Shame, because we've played well. Haven't tested Ryan enough though - just missing that final pass/touch/shot too often.

The Problem is even after seeing it on camera they still get it wrong-Dermot Gallagher said it was a pen last week. Utterly bizarre.

 

[dannyboy]

I feel like we are absolutely no threat from set pieces but really vulnerable to them down the other end. Not a good position to be in.

Agreed. I think that fluke bounce completely fooled the ref and VAR could have won us one there. We really need to at least get something on target

 

[BlueToff]

Me too mate, Sigurdsson is the one who seems to be struggling to get into the game after some good stuff early on.

Coleman does need to stop hanging it up in the box though, only one winner there.

But it'd be good if our players actually gambled on a cross for once, as well.

 

[Parker]

Was it a peno on Digne anyone watching on a stream?

 

[Blue Juice]

Walcott off Lookman on
Ref sent back to the championship to the obscurity he deserves
EVERTON to score a couple more
Marco to stop looking like he's seen front line combat
