Good day out nearly spoiled by Everton
We’re through just, let’s pray we get. Lucky today in the draw

Gray and Gordon telling the fans to give it a rest, interesting

At the Hull end of the field?

Come on mate

Yeh, this has been pointed out. Was just surprised hat they both did it

 

[ToffeeTim]

It was the Hull fans if you noticed. I think it is bad form to gesture at the opposing teams fans. They should be warned not to do it

The put their finger over their lips to shush them. If we are offended by that then we all need to grow up. There was stuff thrown on the field at times. I think that's what we should be worried about.

They put their finger over their lips. Hardly a big deal. There was stuff being thrown on the field and this was picked up by the commentators. Id be more concerned about that.

Thought that was toward the Hull fans

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

After watching some of it the clear highlights from an Everton perspective were Gray and Gordon, with the Begovic save at 2-3 being super important

Still made very hard work of it though and the set piece defending is catastrophic

Wouldn't like our chances to go any further if we keep playing like that

Totally agree. I just thought it weird they both did it, they don't seem the type and there was little reaction

 

[Old Blue 2]

I have no mitigating comments. We scored a few world class goals to equalise and win. The general performance was dire.

No mention of the fact that the ref was allowing their scything tackles to go unpunished (Rondon on the edge of their penalty area being one example). Did not produce the yellow card on two occasions when our players were blatantly pulled back by Hull players. Did not give two blatant penalties that even the biased commentators admitted were penalties. Hull were only in the game for so long because the ref was 100% bent in their direction.

Or were you watching a different game to me...?

No VAR because it was a championship ground. Iagree though on the subject of fouls and no yellows add to that should have been 2 penalties, BTW commited by the same defender.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Its obvious that he meant they hadn't trained in the few days they had been here,Myko because its the season break in Ukraine and Patterson, well just the few days he'd been here.plus a little time in Glasgow. Its common practice to allow new sighings a few days to acclimatise. Difference, for example with Trippier, he knows the UK pretty well.But not many foriegn signings make their debut immediately they arrive. I was in fact surprised Myko played at all, never mind the full game and extra time. Well done to him.

Fair enough, but we have problems of sorts with our fullbacks and I think they should be in asap. It will at least release players filling in
back to their normal positions, if required.

Come on mate

If people are trying to imply Gray and Gordon are having a pop at our fans. It's utter rubbish. They both came over after the game and applauded the fans (despite finishing on the bench) and gave their shirts to the travelling fans. They wouldn't do that if they were pissed off with the fans

 

[Jeff Jones]

Your words certainly failed you as you can read from other comments. Best to reread before you send. I make the same mistake though, and then it's too late, and you think , Why did I send that?

The mistake I made was quoting Benitez as adding '...... since they've been here' after he said they hadn't trained for 15 days.

A few others made the point similar to yours and I explained it in replies to them. You must've missed them.

I could've added that Mykolenko was at Goodison watching the Brighton game a week before, so why hadn't he trained?

Kevin Friend is not a bent ref, he's just inadequate, he lost all control of that match at times and Hull took full advantage, diving in, handball dragging our players back all over the shop. Gomes elbowed one back and would have been sent off with var or a competent referee, but that was just total frustration at a red that was pathetically hopeless, even the commentators commented on it, that some refs now just rely on var to make decisions for them. That was telling.
