If you try and cheat as much as he does it's hard to complain when borderline calls go against you. My thoughts exactly. Made a rod for his own back with all these theatrical dives. Ref could easily have thought the way he dived in the first half could be trying it on again. Serves him right for continually going over like a bloody tart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 In the context of that game, can understand the ref applying caution. Seen em given though, and would expect that given for Liverpool at the other end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few dives and wasting time, a few fouls, and playing an insanely rigid formation while having none of the ball? Being snide = fight? As soon as Liverpool scored they completely turned it in, and really as soon as Liverpool stepped up the pace they were out of the game. Those stats are borderline disgraceful. It's because Lampards the manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s PFM stuff where kicking someone = fight, character and a good performance. I think their performance was shocking yesterday. If they weren’t intent on diving and making a farce of it, they could have actually got something from the game. Liverpool were so vulnerable defensively, but Everton had no interest in challenging that. Liverpool/Klopp knew they’d just have to bide their time, wait 60 minutes and then bring on fresh attacking players and they’d get through them.

This was my impression as well. Don't think they will get the results they need if they set up and play the same way they did against Liverpool against lesser teams. If they want a recipe on how to stay up they and their fans should rather look at their game against us and Man Utd for their home games against Brentford and Palace. The atmosphere in the stadium must have been awful for us and Man Utd to play in, while inspiring the Everton team to put in those extra few percent of effort to grind out a result.

Disco Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Thought it fell directly in the sweet spot of it's a pen for your team but not the opposition. Seen softer given and harder not given.

LFEE Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Are pundits saying it was a penalty in general? Seemed to recall them all mainly saying the Callum Wilson one at Arsenal wasn’t and that was no different if not more clear cut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with Gordon is that he has skipped the building a base for support among the media step and gone directly into the diving at every available opportunity.

Diving is v. frequent in English football and has been for a long time. Look at some of the penalties Owen won for England at the world cup in 98, 02 - dubious. Even Sterling against Denmark. Dive.
