[Albion] Everton and anti football

[Mikey20]

I can only say I was so disappointed with Saturday's match. Disappointed with Albion yet again failing to beat a very poor team below them in the table. Disappointed with FH and his team selection. The bench was far stronger than the starting eleven.
However, the biggest disappointment was with the tactics of Everton. So Moyes was ecstatic with his team and the result. He should be ashamed of their anti football. The biggest culprit was Pickford with his stupid time wasting tactics. Other players constantly feigning injury and running the clock down. What is up with our refs? There should be more bookings and even red cards for blatant time wasting. We need the Prem/FA to endorse this. We pay good money for our tickets. It is disgraceful that fans are treated to such shoddy playacting and cheating.
Rant over!

We score, they change tactics.

The ' we score ' bit is the issue.

School of Science inn't.

Not.

Bournemouth stuffed Forest largely because they scored first, forcing them to abandon their low block counter-attack style. That's the key. Unfortunately we often don't start playing until the second half

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The thing that disturbed me most was Pickford.

At one point I shouted:

"Put some proper men's shorts on, for f***'s sake, Pickford, you f***ing weirdo!"

When we learn not to concede first against sh1t, we’ll have a great chance of throwing their game plan out of the window.

I mean, it really is that simple.

He can't reach them with his T Rex arms

Hmmm

yeah they were pathetic with the constant going down and rolling around in agony

yeah there was the constant time wasting by Pickford (how can he be so outraged at getting a yellow, the tit) and the two centre backs

but I thought they defended well….were good on the press for the first half (not so the second)

and we just didn’t create much ….thats our responsibility

Indeed, and I'd appreciate the input of a stat savvy bod but first-half at home against a poor side what was Pickford's involvement?

 

[Justice]

We were delighted when we nicked 1-0 aways under CH. can’t see the problem.

The timewasting nowadays in the Premier League is becoming a real turn off, personally.

Funny you say that. I thought that he deliberately wore a shirt far too small so that there was skin between his gloves and jersey. You know, to give the impression of long arms.

Used to be Pulis’s Stoke, incredible stats at that time on the number of minutes lost per 90. But now it’s half the PL if a goal up, including mega spending tw@t Arteta.

An awful when watch at games imho.

The best and funniest thing though is when we take the lead against any of these cheats. You’d never seen w@nkers move so fast in taking goal kicks and throw ins.

Everton snatched a goal and held on for dear life for the three points. No problem with that - we've done it plenty of times. The time wasting is a problem - but that's wholly the responsibility of the referees. Nobody else's - purely, wholly and 100% their fault.
Time wasting (after a warning) is a yellow card offence - so issue one! And if they offend again, issue a second one, don't go all lily-livered and pussy-footing around it. Yes, somebody will go ballistic when the red is handed out with the second yellow - you will be surrounded by red, screaming, angry faces, but that goes with the job. You can hand out yellows for that too ..........................

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Who remembers that game at Wolves where we put 11 men behind the ball for a 0-0 under Hughton in possibly the dullest Premier league game ever?

You gotta do what you've got to do. If Everton come out and play we stuff them. It's up to us to devise a way of winning these games.

 

[Right Back]

Just wait until we play them in their shiny new stadium next season. We will win as the home fans won’t allow them to park the bus.

Ref should go into each dressing room before the game and make it clear that is what he is going to do, then there's no excuse

Remember it well, one of the reasons we stayed up in what was a bleak season
