Leeds deserved that no bother. But Everton. Ye Gods we all know how attritional Moyes' teams are, but tonight they had nothing apart from a few balls into the box and Grealish on to win a few free kicks. Only one game and all that, but they have been roundly beaten by a promoted side. As with West Ham, almost all of the other teams they face will be better. They have no pace, an unbalanced back line and Beto up top. They need some players. That side would not frighten the Championship.
Carra and Neville both agreed it was a penalty. He absolutely leaned into the ball and because of the distance it travelled… definite penalty.
Yep. Penner. Looks harsh because of where it hit him, and where his arm was, but he made a pretty big lunge at the ball. That's what clinched it.
Your arm is part of your body. He lunged for the ball. The ball was deflected and travelling at pace. His arm was not exaggerated. The ref didn't see it and linesman at 25 yards at 90° gave it. Not a pen for me.
Changed my mind. He effectively leads with the arm knowing he'll not get there and block with his torso, given the distance the ball comes from. It's arm to ball really.
A penalty was probably the only way either side was going to get the ball in the net. I predict they'll both struggle
Aye. Leeds looked better side, but they were ‘busy’ not ‘good’. I swear they looked better last season.
