Match Day Thread Merseyside Derby V Everton

Moyes whining about the ref….

 

Meh - refs get things wrong all the time, but there wasn't anything he could point to today that significantly influenced the outcome.

 

A 50/50 throw went our way near the end and that’s basically why they didn’t get something out of the game apparently

 

Where Moyes is concerned his wife not having sex with him is a good enough reason why they lost

 

Twice they got a throw in that should have been ours and Grealish taking the ball over the line then kicking it at Bradley and trying to claim a corner. At least he clapped the ref for making the right decision.

Anyone notice Tarkowski hacking Ekitike down as the ball sailed into the net?

 

Impressive

 

To be fair to Darren England, he did above average in the game I think Everton supporters are not pleased with him.

 

I was surprised that he let the game flow early on. He did remember in the second half that he had cards in his pocket.

 

referees never know what to do in this game tbf. PGMOL need to be more specific about who they hate

 

Bradley really good today, there were times when Grealish was getting the better of him but he never panicked or lost his head and stuck to his task.

 

i was a bit worried if he would just boot him into touch like the "good old days" but as you say kept calm and just stayed with him whole game .

 

Grealish had moments but in general they were tactical and designed to get Grealish into spaces so that he was separated and able to run at his man whereas in the first half where it was just a 1 on 1 battle Bradley was right on him and had him in his pocket. 2nd half the full back pushed on and it meant that Bradley had thinking to do and this created space for Grealish who improved but as it went on Bradley took control again. Very impressed.

 

Spot on.

Was very impressed with the whole back line in fairness, they were attacking us but it wasn’t like they were peppering the goal and we just about held on.

We were very positionally aware and were pretty cool under the pressure. Really good sign and breeds further team confidence

 

I was bitterly disappointed in Grealish
Talented player that seems to have taken the easy route
His diving is ridiculous
The fact refs know what he is like and yet still award free kicks is outrageous

yet Salah could be knee capped and he would not get a free kick
Would love to know that touches to free kicks given

anyway rant over

 

This bit should tell you that if he gets fouled he gets a free kick.
The fact that you don't know what a foul is is irrellevent.

 

Because a ref has never given a free kick for something that wasn’t a foul?

 

Never…ever…..especially at old Trafford

 

No point in replying to Diego now - he'll be sleeping it off.
