Match Day Thread Everton V Liverpool Premier League

I was very disappointed with Koeman yesterday

With all the Lukaku moving on statements and his joke at Wenger he played up the idea of being a #legit honest manager, clear now that was all lies to cover himself

Then he instantly does a Wenger himself, not seeing the Barkley tackle but sure that we should have had a yellow for something

Also not sure if his team had wasted 8 minutes well it was at least the 4 we needed to score FFS

The truth is he settled for a point and we didn't #noambition

 

you mean when the ball hit Henderson's hip then deflected up onto his arm #nohands

 

Thanks Tobes. Previously in this post I said you'd go the Koeman route of whataboutery when you saw that the tackle was unsupportable. Coleman shouldn't have been booked. That doesn't mean Lovren should have or Barkley shouldn't have seen red. If we're going down that route, can I pointlessly cite Lucas being sent off in a cup tie at Goodison for one bookable offence?

 

And was two yards outside the box.

 

Depay is not the player I thought he was. There must be something more to him than what we've seen so far. I was disappointed that LVG trumped us to get him two summers ago. My United supporting next door neighbour and me often walk our dogs together, and he was cock-a-hoop. He's not now.

He's seriously concerned that the same thing's happening with Martial, but they're compensated for that in the 'fact' that, on the basis of three wins on the bounce, they see Zlatan as some sort of messiah. No wonder, as BBC Salford and the Daily Mail are jizzing with their comparisons with Cantona.

 

I meant the cross that Milner (iirc) blocked with his lowered arm near the byline, about a yard outside the box.

 

I never said he shouldn't, so that's a strawman argument.

I was simply making the point that Dean bottled being consistent in the wake of that challenge, probably because he realised he should have sent Barkley off, and if he'd have compounded that by giving a second yellow to Lovren there'd have been a #meltdown

 

still a handball... you guys have been giving many a penalty with that move

 

If it makes you happy to believe that, go ahead.

 

So you didn't think it was a handball? So if a ball deflects off you then onto a hand you don't think those should be given?

 

Never realised Koeman is that little !

 

There are loads of incidents where the ball bounces up off someone's body and hits a hand and nothing is given. You sure you watch football?

 

He's tiny.

 

They're not given many many many mannyy times. The initial block was made by the chest. Decision wasn't given and I am very happy with that decision. Are you worried that we've kept the gap to a minuscule 6 points?

 

Normally cause the ref is blind and missed it

Not scared at all... i can't wait for the next time a ball bounces off a players body part then hits a hand isn't given for you... i will refer to these quotes

 

The Hendo one where it hit his leg and bounced into his arm and was never deliberate? Behave tobes...

only decision a lino bottled in the game was not to send off Barkley.

 

Chelsea fan talking about hand balls when you have John the keeper terry and Gary goalie Cahill in your team?

 

Well according to you, as long a it isn't deliberate then its not a handball... guess we're all good then . We will carry on asking terry and cahill to fly out and look like a starfish

 

Feel free.
I wouldn't expect it to be given under those circumstances. Hendo clearly knew nothing about it, his arms weren't in an "unnatural position" and it happened in a microsecond.
Get a grip, man.

 

No you won't.
