Corrupt referee. We move on. Having said that. Keane. Just that.

Lampard :

"Even if the VAR says not sure, then go have a look. It is incompetence at best, if not that then someone needs to explain what it is."

My man.

The only thing I've liked from him since joining us. Bravo.

Even our manager is bamboozled he doesn’t know how how to get it out of his mouth it’s so bloody obvious!!

 

[Blue Roo]

special mention for Kenny whose really doing a job on the left.
along with VDB and Gordon shut down one of the best right attacks in the world

Let's have it straight, we we're robbed of a very good point today! That was a blatant pen and there is no one that will say otherwise. Played some good hard football, play like this we are staying up. I will say though, Lampard should not have brought on forward players when we're holding onto a game.

@PITA did you go the game by the way?

 

[lieneverton]

Aside from the obvious (great spirit, total BS on the penalty), there were a couple of less obvious things I was pleased to see that we haven't seen enough at Everton for a while.

Little things like surrounding the ref. Berating the linesman. Alli going into Ederson. Coleman and Foden going at each other.

Sounds daft but these for me are encouraging signs. Be snide. Stop being such a soft touch.

And it's more than a point to be honest. It's a whole psychological shift.

Even if you don’t think there is enough evidence to overrule (seems oretty damn clear to most people tho) surely you suggest the ref himself has another look?

Chris Kavanagh didn't give a penalty because hes an absolutely dreadful referee who has a problem with Everton.

Completely missed everything. How did we play? Did we deserve to lose?

Played well, worked our arses off and matched them in the first half.
They pretty much dominated the second half as we were a little bit spent.
They scored after a deflection that Keane didn't clear.

We should of had a penalty, but we didn't get the rub of the green. There was no corruption or match fixing involved as some have inferred?.

All in all it was a good performance from us and on another day we may have scraped a draw.

Very dogged and had a few breakaways.

Keane gave them a goal when it was an easy clearance...flat footed.

Clear pen in front of the ref for handball...VAR went down the match fixing route.

Allan and Doucoure immense

Hopefully a bit of hope for the next few games!! Cheers?

The premier league relasing info on why it was inconclusive. They know their backs are against the wall on that call.

They have never been so quick to release a statement

What was their fraudulent explanation?

Cheers. A point would have been decent! Fingers crossed for the next game!!
