I don’t think 100 stewards are stopping 20000 fans running on the pitch.

However, I think Everton should have anticipated this (win or lose) and should have, along with the refs, instructed Palace to leave via the tunnel. A basic risk assessment would have picked this up.

But he simply can’t react like that
Could viera, being an adult who can assess risk himself, not make the decision to not walk across the pitch with 20000 opposition football fans, many of whom will have had a drink etc?

He wanted to take his team off the pitch after the first invasion then calmly walks through a mass invasion. Very strange?

credit to the handful of Everton fans who prevented it from really kicking off and escorted PV off the pitch. I know the media are going to focus on the negative, especially after the Billy Sharp incident but there are good fans out there.
 
I don't blame him, there's no need to go at him on the pitch. He really should not be punished, especially after the Sharp thing.

Also shout out to the lad who absolutely flapped it when he turned around after being pushed. Must've forgotten that Vieira is 6'4.
