Goalkeeper error? If Salah had got that goal he would have been given credit for closing down.

If that was Salah, it would have been made out as a "chip over the goalkeeper "

Coleman's OG was a bit of a fluke - 1pt turns into zero
DCL's Goal was a bit of a fluke...great chasing and harrying though - 1pt turns into 3pts.
Overall performance, Dycheball, 777, points deductions, etc, etc.
doesn't really matter, it's a long, long way, Hubble telescope distances behind...
3Pts.

now build on it.

For me our current best midfield would contain Gomes, Garner, Onana and Gueye in some shape or form

That means Doucoure would need to dropped

I would try gueye, onana and gomes next game

I’d even contemplate maybe garner over young on the right side of midfield

Dang thought this was on sunday and we go and get our first win in forever

That'll teach me to go on everton detox during the week.

3 points
Made up
But what a truly awful game of ………was it football ?
Still, we won thankfully.

 

[McCall2Radzinski]

I'm watching the replay with some anticipation. DCL clears a Burnley corner.

So exciting!

A win is a win.
A dire performance but 3 points.
It just goes to show how threadbare the squad is.
Given the injuries to Ohana etc
There was only Warrington on the bench who could play centre midfield.
Coleman and Young down the right a combined age of 72 says it all.

If other teams are given them then we should be too.

They aren’t always given them though. More than a few get waved away.

Anti-Football but we won.

Dire game to watch but a vital 3 pts. The other thing is I knew we were cack but when Burnley went down to 10 men it really showed how cack we are.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Having reflected on it - I'm still concerned. Any kind of points deduction next week and we're bang in trouble.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

True. But they are given and when they are the pundits don't question them. They just say there's contact therefore the player is entitled to go down. Therefore it's completely legitimate to ask for those pens and wonder why it is we don't get our fair share of them.

 

[PITA]

I know, but you can’t rely on gk’s mistakes for our goals.

And other teams can't rely on full backs 'chesting' the ball into their own goal but it happens.

 

[Rodebaard]

Huge win but pretty painful to watch. Thought we were a bit lucky with the red card? Know it was a meaty tackle but was a long way away from the goal and McNeil didn't have it under control. Not that it made a difference to our tactics of course, but it probably helped keep them out.

 

[efcfanwirral]

I can't believe the goalkeeper did that, it looks worse every time I see it
