Didnt see a real standout for man of the match in the 90…maybe Ibou…
Gave it to Curtis - real man of the after the match performance that
Oliver must have heard he is shite 10000 times - 9900 times atleast from Arsenal fans. Not sure what Slot said to receive a straight red. He must have said “time to get your paycheck”
Dropped points as expected.
The circumstances make it feel like a loss in the end.
I just saw someone typing an essay in the closed thread.
Haha @Limiescouse
We were absolutely robbed today by a referee who set out to make this game as close as possible. Hasn’t he even said on some podcast or something that he thinks that it is the role of the referee to manage “the occasion” not the game?
People can try and blame our maturity or mentality or whatever but I’m not going there. I’m actually really impressed that we managed to battle through this game despite Everton being given free kicks for imaginary fouls and being allowed to assault our players at will with nothing being given. It must have been extremely frustrating.
Nothing will get mentioned in the media about Ndiaye’s dive, Doucoure’s foul in the lead up to the 2nd goal or Nunez’s denied penalty when he’s wrestled to the ground but they were all massive wrong decisions that directly influenced the result of this game.
Anyway, we get this cunt of a game out of the way and we extend our lead at the top to 7 points.
Will they roll over at Goodison for Arsenal?
Well, at least they took a point at the Emirates earlier on.
But what an absolutely shite team, and what an absolute robbing. I hope we really slay them at Anfield.
Now we have to beat Wolves, Arsenal has Leicester and West Ham back to back.
It’s an absolutely dreadful performance from one of the worst referees in the league. That’s the biggest takeaway. That cunt strutted onto the pitch with his stall set out - the last Merseyside Derby and he was refereeing the narrative. He gave Everton absolutely everything.
I’ve seen people moaning about our performance, but we could not get going shackled by that bellend. He was giving them fouls for falling over, while they were allowed to rough us up at will.
Five minutes added time, two Everton lads run into each other with a minute to go, get treated for a minute and he is still letting them play after nearly eight minutes.
It’s a scandalous performance.
I hate Goodison glad it’s gone. Next season they will get relegated in the new stadium. They are shite.
Absolutely frenetic……
Seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table with 14 games to go.
YNWA
We were so naïve in extra time, normally when we need a goal we play it round at the back for a couple of minutes but tonight when protecting a lead we pump it long and gift possession away.
And the non-foul for Mo right at the end of the five minutes of added time, which would have finished off the game.
Seen nearly seventy years of derby games and they were ever thus…. Love the passion.
Was probably a fair result reached in unfair circumstances.
Oliver was a prick but we didn’t play well, got dragged down to their level and then failed to see it out. All the head losses at the was embarrassing and gave them, and every other fucker, exactly what they wanted.
But, we’re unbeaten in 20 in the league, we’ve a 7 point lead and an almost fully fit squad. Every club in the league swaps places with us tonight if they could.
Don’t let tonight impact our season beyond this final whistle. Maybe a wake up call to some that there’ll be a fight for this title to come and how we react will be a measure of how serious we are about winning this. Compose ourselves, do our job and Arsenal will drop points over their next five games.
Arsenal have nobody to score goals.
Means we were clinical, if vs Forest we attempted more and didn’t score.
Oliver. 100% corrupt.
So many things to detail but life is too short.
PGMOL should be disbanded with a new thing emerging, with proper accountability, that can be fit for purpose.
In the grand scheme of things a point extends our lead at the top to seven. Arsenal are now three games behind. We are in the box seat, but we have more work to do and need to bounce back from this injustice.
Arne Slot is the nicest man in football and Oliver gives him a straight red? I only hope he ‘earned’ it and called him a corrupt cunt.
Every highlight covered by the US feed outside the goals were incidents presenting Everton as being hard done by. A foul taking their best player off…a hand ball call on Ibou waved away.
Good night guys. Chill and who knows Leicester might throw a surprise. Vardy gets a brace and Arsenal lose
Salah foul on edge of box in a prime free kick position. Premier league is becoming scripted like WWE.
Why is it a fair result ?.
