Post Match Everton (H) 1-0 - April 2nd

[dee]

WE’RE GOING TO WIN THE LEAGUE

 

[Farkmaster]

I thought we were much improved, especially off the ball.

 

[Athens]

Never in doubt.

 

[Mojo]

Yessss...3 points closer

Get in

YNWA

 

[ibromurph]

FCUK OFF EVERTON!

 

[Squiggles]

Big win.

Pretty average performance, but fuck it, it's a win against Everton that all but confirms the title. There's no joy in nitpicking it.

Get in.

 

[MomoWASright]

I’m still fuming they weren’t down to 10. Even 9. Beto should’ve gone too.

 

[Cerberus]

Piss poor first half. Vast improvement second half.

 

[Fabio]

Our creativity is fucking woeful.

Overall improved second half, but still nowhere near the level we need

 

[mom]

Didn’t see the first half but thought we were pretty good second half

 

[dee]

Four more wins, four more wins

 

[The Nomad]

Much better second half. But we were still toothless up front bar Diaz.

 

[Accedalyday]

Great last ditch tackle by Curtis...

That yellow by Darwin for getting kicked by pickford really cracked me up ...

Jota will score the goals imo to confirm #20 ... obvious why he went off (hot head!)

Salah cannot beat his man anymore... it's sad how little respect he gets from refs or any lb.

Gravy very good in 2nd half.

How were so close to the league is testament to a mix of things - salah's unreal g&a streak and weakness of the league this year (sorry) ...

I don't understand the Pickford Nunez clash. So referees can hand out cards for mouthy managers and handbags in the tunnel, but a player assaulting another player in the knee seconds after the whistle has gone - oh can't do anything about it?

The level we need for what exactly?

Bookmarked.

Better teams than Everton will beat us if we did that level of performance against others. We were lucky not to be going in at half time behind

how many more times do we need to be shite in the first half? Can we not try from the 5th minute rather than the 45th?

Cracked me up.
Nunez did nothing wrong... and pickford came our with another red card tackle

To be boss men 100%

 

[binomial]

At this stage of the season churning out results by any means neccessary is the only thing that matters, not expecting the performances to improve (especially with this group of players) as this is the Slot way.....slow possession build up, we have to let go gegenpressing as we're never getting that style back. Besides the fuck ups at the back, he would've loved that first half.

The level we need to see the title out isn't actually that high

 

[Brizzle]

Great result. Wasn’t sure it would get there after the ref tried too hard to show he wasn’t favouring the home team. Nice to have jota in the goals.

Lots could improve but 3 points is all we needed.

Thing is - and I might be wrong - but didn’t Pickford take the free kick to restart the game at the spot that he assaulted Nunez? In that case, the ref is saying he didn’t blow before, gave the advantage and gave a foul / card against Nunez…in which case VAR should have intervened with a penalty and red card for Pickcunt???

 

[Fabio]

So it would seem. Don't know why we haven't tried it more consistently if it was this easy

 

[Frogfish]

Oh the Ref was fucking abysmal! What's his name?

No it was our FK taken where Szobo was fouled in our half.

I mean you say that. He rolled back into the pitch. By the letter of the law, it's a yellow.

Pickford is a cunt though and was lucky he didn't get a yellow at least himself.

 

[Farkmaster]

I think we could have been more aggressive and gone for 4 points, maybe even 5. It's this sort of thing that shows how undeserving we are of the title.

Pickford should have got a yellow.

Oh that's why he got a yellow? Ok my bad
