Van Dyke was only heading in the direction of the ball, a ball that did not have another player near it at the time! Pickford has put himself in the wrong position and in his head had to make that lunge and spread himself, he shouldn't have done it and that's that. The media need to move on, he needs to move on and learn from that and the other mistakes he's been making recently and if he doesn't then he needs to find a comfy chair on the side lines and see what the Norwegian has to offer.

The issue though is not so much what happened on the pitch, anyone who understands football, understands that non malicious tackles / challenges happen every day and can result in career changing injuries as a result, it's a part of the game, unfortunately. Us Evertonians know, we've had our fair share, Gomes, Colman, Oviedo, Felliani (& this were only in recent times) the list goes on and on. Its the unfair treatment and as I mention the defamatory comments that are STILL being fired at us via the media, via washed up, idiotic ex-footie playing pundits like Merson and Souness. Personally, I think we are at a juncture we're Everton as a club should come out and say enough is enough here, watch what you are saying in the press because we do have a legal team.

Popular Post StevO Posted October 22, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 No football club is going to take any legal action about things like this being said in the media. I’d be embarrassed if Everton did. We should do our talking on the pitch and nowhere else. Go and beat Southampton, then Newcastle and then United. Then let them talk about us. If any club would take legal action over that kind of thing, we all know which club it would be. dunlopp9987, London Blue, Shukes and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're equal distance from the ball. Pickford made himself big and I'd rather him do what he did that just let vvd break his leg, because if that was a defender going in with an honest tackle that's what would have happened. Studs showing and leg fully extended, horrible bastard. Thing is if vvd made an honest effort he'd not have ended up with the injury he did either.

I think people are showing that picture more in jest to be honest mate. Other than PeteO I don’t think there is more than 1% of us that don’t agree it’s a red card offence. But Everton fans are reacting to the way Liverpool fans have gone about this. It’s sad really, but our fans can be just as ridiculous as there’s at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did the opposite of that and have trotted out people to say how terrible Pickford is. Their manager, their nobody sub keeper, their midfielder that doesn't seem to actually do anything in that side. The manager, in particular, could have come out and calmed that all down but instead he wanted to play the victim card. Their captain could have come out and said something. Not a peep. The player himself could have come out and said it was unfortunate incident but he knows it wasn't on purpose and these things happen, much like he did for a shitty tackle he put in against Napoli. Did he? Did he like shite. I didn't think that club could go any further down in my opinion of them but they have.

pete0 Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 They'd have been made up if our players got injured at the start of the match when he was acting the hard man. Pickford didn't injure him, karma did. As for that club they did the same last time when Mina caught one of them. As always ashamed of anything, offended by everything.
