Basically they mean Nuni ez is expected to do a lot better than he does and all the rest exceed expectations.
Apparently we all getting charged for the brawl at the back end of the game Robbo getting grief for laughing
Still amazes me how often ref just books both players in those scenarios when 50% of the time, one of them has done absolutely nothing wrong. Robbo ran with the ball, stopped, got barged into by Pickford, turn around and laughed at him and then 4 Everton players ran over cos they got upset. Didn’t realise laughing was a yellow card offence these days tbh
I didn’t see it at the time but apparently kicked the ball away ? (Figuring that’s what the yellow was for) Which incensed Pickford - who when Robbo laughed ended up laughing back Total handbags Probs get a few retrospective reds lmao
yeah, he went and deliberately dribbed on forward and when pickford came running out he fake corssed it into middel to time waste. pickshite went to grab at robbo who destroyed him with a laugh. then the everton instruction was clearly mill in and try get someone sent off (prematch **** as per) and coady grabbed robbo by the neck and acted the big man (after his usual at least one gaffe a game cb performance) Once 5 everton players sprinted in they started it off. Ref dealt with it on the day. all the fa can do is give fines for "looking a bit of a lark on tv"
Technically, Robbo started it by running with the ball (twice) after the whistle had clearly gone (twice) Cody should have seen red for grabbing Robbo's throat though
I agree that is what happened. A player running on with the ball shouldn't get that kind of reaction from opposition players though so I question you saying he started it. It's not like he rubbed a player's head when he was down
He hardly cross the ball. He tapped it about 2 yards past Pickford. The irony being that pickfords reaction wasted way more time than anything Robbo did
I meant he started the chain reaction. Pickford reacted to him time wasting. Robbo reacted to Pickford by laughing which in turn pissed a few off including Cody. I think Robbo deserved a yellow for carrying on with the ball; time wasting our kicking the ball away, take your pick. Pickford deserved a yellow for confrontation and I think he pushed Robbo too (could be wrong). Cody deserved red for grabbing Robbo by the throat
there was.no way that ref was ever sending anyone off. he had his solution that was simple. Two yellows and away we go. next week someone grabs someone by the neck and they'll see red. but that ref had a problem that he wanted out of that derby without being the excuse for Everton fans (even if they were 0-2 down)
yeah but same as last year when everton players sprinted at any tackle we made looking for a reaction there's.no way a ref wants to have work in our derby
When you put it like that, I agree. Honestly with the Everton players you can see the heat building and building, it doesn't take much for some of them to erupt. They will have been looking for an excuse the entire game. The fact it happened over nothing much, proved that. I agree on Coady. That was violent conduct and should have been a red.
