Benwell Lad Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I think the point is that the two decisions which cost Everton were hairline and at normal speed were understandable mistakes. The two decisions against us were shocking as they were as clear as daylight and just pure incompetence. Entirely predictable however that the decisions that went in our favour are the only ones being discussed at large. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 How many times do you see in tennis a ball that clearly looks out to the naked eye, including on super slow motion close up, but is actually in because the slightest sliver of ball is on the line? Unless you can see daylight/grass, there's no definite conclusion, and it was never a free kick, and our attack was pulled back. The offside they can have. The offside one was ridiculous, it was only his trailing foot and there's no way the linesman can be expected to see that when the rest of his body was clearly offside.

ujpest doza Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Best thing about last night was the spirit in my opinion. There really is a willingness to show that last season wasn't a one-off. Even in the 1st half when we were utter toss we still had chances, one off the line from Anita and the volley that Cisse should really have buried. That's the best thing for me that even when we are poor we are still a threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 No worries re: Cisse btw, he's still getting into good positions and getting chances, a couple will go in shortly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Couldn't give a fuck if it was a goal or not, the amount of times we have been done over with shit decisons against us at Goodison is unreal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Aye, even the last 2 seasons have given us enough reason to have got a bit back at Goodison for once. Jelavic double handball Fellaini elbowing Williamson Coleman swiping Nolan's legs away from him. We were overdue something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I can't lie btw, Shola's chest assist was ridiculous. As I say, on the balance of chances overall a draw was a fair result, but no doubt those 2 decisions leave a very sour taste in the mouth. One I could have just about stomached but twice is taking the piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Fellaini and Phyllis should have both been sent off too. As I've said on countless occasions, I've never seen anyone elbow opponents as much as Fellaini and continuously get away with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Didn't watch 2nd half, sounded like it was quite decent. Very happy with a point after watching the 1st half. We were excellent 2nd half, even if they arguably deserved 2 extra goals due to bad decisions. Played a mix of hoofball and decent stuff. Worth watching properly. Where did you go after the first half like? To bed, it was 4am here and I needed to be up at 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Harper 6 Not bad, not brilliant. At first i thought a really good keeper may have got that baines goal i.e. Krul last year. But perhaps i am being harsh. Glad we have him though. Perch 5 Got bummed at right back 1st half, looked much better in the middle after the break. Marv let him down 1st Half. Williamson 5.5 Fantastic in the air defensively i thought again, positioning very questionable at times though. Saylor 7 He had a very busy night. Looked really very good i thought. Battled hard for our cause, made runs from the back, looked fit and i really hope we can keep him fit. Not sure i'd play him in the Uefa games. Santon 7 Linked up well with HBA i thought at times and generally good. Marv 3 Very poor. Could have tried to help Perch alot more and offered next to nothing offensively either. Cabaye 6.5 Poor first half much better second half when he played further forwards. Would have ben a 6 but the assist to Ba is worthy of at least another half point Anita 6.5 Really like this lad battles, is quick, intelligent and plays simple passes well. Jonas 6.5 Battled well defensively as always and we really needed him. Jonas and Anita shored up our right flank 2nd half which we had been bummed on all first half. HBA 6 Class player some very good passing and runs but not really his night though gave the ball away in dangerous positions at least twice. Missed a one on one with the keeper. Cisse 5 Battled and had a few decent chances but couldn't score. Just not looking a goal threat at the moment or as sharp as lat season. Subs Ba 8.5 Changed the game completely good passing, creative, held the ball up, a complete menace to Everton and topped it off with two very cleverly taken goals which he makes look easy. Ameobi 6.5 Did well caused problems and got an assist. Well done Pardew for knowing exactly what to do second half tactically. First half a few players did let him down.

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Am I the only one that thought Anita was average? He was poor in midfield (along with everyone tbf), but then good defensively at right back. He hoofed it a lot in attacking positions though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 The refs performance is one of the worst I have seen. Missed two Everton goals. Failed to send of Neville and Fellaini. Stopped the play when Ben Arfa had three options for a goalscoring opportunity. Absolute joke at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I was massively disappointed with his distribution all night. Not what I would have expected from an Ajax Graduate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I honestly don't know how anyone could say that that was a terrible performance from the officials like. Aye, they missed 2 goals, but both were honest mistakes. Other than that the only thing that was a definite, concious error was not allowing us to play on when we were 3 on 1.
