Everton banter 7

Givern City's second goal. Please can we move O'Brien to the centre of defense. I don't much care which Muppet we drop.

06 May 2026 18:40:57
Don't think Tarks has been at his best this season. Seems to want to battle with people rather than concentrate on defending.
O'Brien needs to be moved back into the centre, though it probably won't happen till next season now.

06 May 2026 19:16:53
Agree, BMD, but only 3 games to go, so nothing going to change.

06 May 2026 14:07:13
Just read we're the only team not to have a VAR overturn in our favour this season. Has a team ever gone a whole season without one since VAR introduction to the Premier League? Think this damning stat does validate our feeling that we've been screwed by decisions this season.

07 May 2026 15:45:44
Historically we are a club for firsts I suppose.

See a 71yr male fan has been arrested for suspected racial abuse of Semenyo. If guilty, hopefully he gets a lifetime ban.

06 May 2026 16:00:32
From Nottingham, apparently?

06 May 2026 18:41:13
Regardless of where the fan is from, deserves punishment if guilty.

06 May 2026 18:43:11
From what I have read, he was reported to the stewards by other supporters, so kudos to them. Don't need this nonsense in sport.

{Ed025's Note - absolutely BMD..

06 May 2026 18:44:54
Has to be a lifetime ban if he has racially abused anyone. There is no room for that sort of nonsense in any part of life. Well done to those people who called him out on it and reported it to the stewards.

{Ed025's Note - you are right BR..

07 May 2026 15:47:22
Imagine being 71 and still not knowing how to act decently ?

06 May 2026 10:29:54
To be fair to Moyes, Tim was off the pitch and the ref was ready to play on so we’d have been down to 10 against them and if he’d decided to try and see the game out without subbing him he’d have been criticised so he was dammed either way.
As I’ve said that ref was ready to play until they scored and stretch that 6 minutes as far as he could.

The only way he’d have blown up sooner is we’d won the ball back and were in danger of making it 4-2. Anyway, it is what it is. We move on and Palace on Sunday UTFT.

At the end of the day we defended very badly for their last two goals nobody came out to challenge Doku and we already know that tarkiski and Keane are brain dead as regards reading the game

06 May 2026 16:02:05
All three were poorly defended, but then the lads did well with the other two hundred.

06 May 2026 16:48:28
Well, it is the third game that we have let in a goal that has lost us valuable points in overtime. Nobody's fault but our own. It has to be sorted.

05 May 2026 19:29:20
I see no one's mentioned the brace from our very own Thierry Henry.

05 May 2026 19:48:55
He could score 10 goals for me and I'm still done with him. Was offside for his 1st, and in the correct position to put Rohls' miss hit shot in for his 2nd. Fair play to him, but doesn't change my opinion on him not being good enough.

{Ed025's Note - im with you Ron..

05 May 2026 19:53:49
Agree, RM mate.

06 May 2026 18:45:41
He's not a striker, certainly not the striker we need anyway.

Know it's now becoming an old chestnut, but surely the case against City must be delt with, without it being dragged into a point where it can be simply ignored, or large fine can be the basis of a behind the door deal with the City's wealthy owners and the disgraceful hypocits, corrupt Premier League.


A fine, however big, will be meaninglessness, City's owners just putting it down as the price of doing business.

05 May 2026 09:42:06
Yet another penalty denied, it came up on the screen that they looked at it, how it wasn’t a foul for grabbing Merlin and dragging him to the ground compared to all the fouls City got for falling over near an Everton player beggars belief. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but those two denied penalties stinks especially compared to the ones give against us.


In general I was hoping for a draw against them with their quality but with being 3-1 up on 80 minutes it’s a sickner to then end up with a draw but you got the feeling that ref would have kept playing until they scored.
Anyway onwards and upwards
UTFT COYB.

The biggest shame for me is that we totally switched off for the second goal. A through ball from kick-off should never make its way to the striker.
The ref couldn't wait to blow his whistle for them. A stronger character would have booked their players for acting. Pep thought we were over physical. I really don't think we were.

05 May 2026 11:49:38
Bunch of bloody cheats, certainly do not want that lot to win the league. Absolutely disgusting, we need refs to grow a pair and stop this.

05 May 2026 16:02:05
Can't stand Arsenal either. Both managers are p****s and so are their fans.

05 May 2026 18:35:40
If we hadn't made 2 or 3 pointless subs in injury time, Big C, the game would have been over. Couple of minutes added to the injury time thanks to another baffling decision.

06 May 2026 08:22:58
Agree, BN, if anything the subs should have been on after the third went in. Couple of the lads at that point were gassed.

06 May 2026 16:51:56
Ref would have played on until City scored anyway, subs or no subs.

06 May 2026 18:48:39
Well, he wouldn't, but apart from that we should be able to see out games when winning. Especially when we're 3-1 up.

05 May 2026 08:59:42
Poor finishing cost us tonight and it wasn't by the usual suspects. Our defence needs a complete overhaul for next season. Would love to see O'Brien and Branthwaite in the centre, but the lad has to stay fit.

Keane and Tarks should only be seen as back up to them. Then need two fullbacks if Aznou is deemed not good enough. And of course a striker is a must.

05 May 2026 09:23:16
Well, we certainly had our chances but then so did they. As you say, poor defending cost us in the end. Especially that second goal; had that not gone in, then momentum would have still been with us, and I firmly believe we would have gone on to win that game.
