Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

[mumwasablue]

Watching Leeds tonight. They are impressive in not giving up. I can’t remember the last time we were 2-0 down and won. They got back to 2-2 and really went for it. We wouldn’t. We’d be so grateful for the draw that we’d drop deeper and deeper and probably concede or at best take the draw. Leeds, even after taking the lead went for a fourth!

Was at game. We were terrible in 1st half sending off changed game. Brilliant atmosphere in away end. 4 injuries Bamford looked in a bad way.

Well I've seen us do it but I'm clearly older than you. Don't be too negative after Thursday night... We were a man down and won it. Its hard going but "every cloud" .

We have done it quite recently at Watford. Mina with 2 and a Walcott winner

I’ll just check the league table.

It's all down to form baby, the RS are soaring and getting into their rhythm now. Unfortunately. But Lewandowski will see to that.

If Bayern play the rs, Bobby L will turn into Brett Angell for the day.

Leeds won’t play Norwich or 10 men every week.

Wolves folded like a cheap suit

Incompetent refereeing as usual mate, nothing in it, ref decides it's a second yellow, never in a million years is it a second yellow. The keeper is actually more reckless than Jimenez.

It really is bizarre. One week you'll hear pundits and the media remind everyone about 'excessive force' and 'you can't do that anymore' then this. Carragher didn't get there, but he didn't agree with giving Jiminez a yellow.

The process of what the ref did last night is completely flawed and not all down to him. He makes his decision based on a view which must have been a long distance away and goes back to the principle that if you get the ball first, any resulting contact between two players is a foul by the player who doesn't touch the ball. He then has two players on the floor. We all dislike how long VAR takes, but here you have it not being used when it would be appropriate to do so and actually in a way that wouldn't even delay the game. Leeds got a huge decision that's actually gained them 3 points.

The Refs probably will do the usual, get together an watch it back at their training centre, deliberate, probably conclude they got it wrong privately. But then continue to make the same calls again and again. Last night was a classic opportunity to ask VAR for their view, explain what they're going to give, do I need to check it etc when it is a decision that will directly influence the outcome of a game.

A rare PL game today with no impact on Everton for once.

Still waiting for the first knee slide celebration related injury.

It's always a risk.
Not one that bothers Everton physios much.
