Match Thread Wolves v Everton, Sat 11/8/18 17:30

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Meh. Game under control an awful mistake, overly officious referee, and Pickford should have saved it.

Everton that.

 

[hktoffee]

Still cant see how thats a red in any world

Two footed, diving tackle. Last man.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

"He could have seriously hurt him"
"He wasn't in full control"

etc etc etc.

As a %, how many slide tackles can that be said for?!

 

[Bkk Andy]

Even if you believe that, he's the last man, so it's a red.

Either way, it's a crystal clear red card. It wasn't a clean tackle - it was reckless; he's done him with studs to the shin.

The other way round and we'd be mortified if it weren't given.

The more I see it the worse it looks.

Nailed on every pundit and 'neutral' under the sun will agree with the decision purely because it's happened to us..

It was the right decision. He’s 36. What do we expect.

This could really be the making of Keane. Man up and lead the defense 2nd half please.

 

[Jacob]

These are still there for the taking if we step up a gear. Not impressed with them at all after all the hysterical hype. Need to involve Tosun with direct passing. Richy seemed to have two on him later so there could be space for through balls....hopefully accurate ones like. Jesus ....Frank Sidebottom in the studio is interesting..not.

 

[Azza]

When was the last time we won a match with 10 men?

ermmm probably before written history.

The more games they keep giving Jags, the more embarrassing it is going to get. We have been calling for a replacement for more than a couple of seasons.
He has served the club well in the past, and should have been released with some dignity in tact. Watching him and Baines getting old is painful. Put us/them out of their/our misery.

 

[JLW]

Jags is probably done as an Everton player

We’ve known that for 2 years

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Second or 3rd touch is no better

 

[Fansince1988]

They should have gone for it in the 10 minutes after Richarlison scored, the game was there for the taking then, and Wolves had no way back 2-0 down.

Guess you can't expect different from the same players, but still not enough possession and intent, and should not hope to cruise to an away win with 75 odd minutes remaining.

Very difficult to get a point now, ref was desperate to show red, but I expect nothing from them.

It was a red but any thing to keep us down from the officials, the last think the FA want is us to be near the top. Our players need to rise above that and don't get themselves in that position.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

These pundits are fuelling the blazing fume in the pit of my soul.

 

[banno]

Looks like back to wall in the second half and I think Walcott or Richarlison along with set pieces is our only chance. Shooting ourselves in the foot again. Just get an unfit Mina and Zouma there as they cannot be any worse.

 

[bicycleheader]

Can understand that red to be honest. Its a lunge without much thought and its not always about whether they get the ball. Couldve snapped his ankle.

Relatively okay until then. For an opening game.

Get Niasse on for Tosun who has been invisible.
