Match Day Thread Vs Everton (H)

Being a **** doesn't mean you don't get penalties, think Luis Suarez

 

Won a free kick against Robbo by throwing himself into him and falling over.

 

Silva has been sacked as expected.

 

I thought Silva would have been all over the place on here today?

 

Even die hard blue McCunty is now calling Moshiri a #fraud

He's made an art form of backing into the defender then falling over, watch him.

Everton's tactics are to play for a foul in specific areas to win free kicks. With that in mind you could watch the game again and see it's glaringly obvious, the flopping all over the place. I think I read that most of their goals have come from set pieces.

 

What I said here:

He does it all the time - initiates the contact then falls over. This is different to shielding the ball and inviting contact - which is, of course, perfectly legitimate. Officials still haven't cottoned on, it seems.

 

Everton came for a draw,scoring two goals early was of no help for them. They knew they have no chance of winning Merseyside derby .

 

Missed that saint. If he's getting away with it then it's no wonder he continues to do it. It's cheating, plain and simple.

 

That's ok. Just thought I'd point out that a number of people have seen this for quite a while now. He's obviously got it down to a fine art as you say, but replays show it up and you'd think that refs would start to get wiser here.
In the same way that Mané is finding it harder to get decisions to go his way. Rightly or wrongly, if you get a reputation, you'll suffer for it.

 

he has had his favoured technique of running parallel to a defender then suddenly stepping in front of him & collapsing (remember the pen against Lovren) exposed and think it may have been that which made the refs mind up in the penalty incident on wed .
