Shukes Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 I’m a fan of Godfrey, but hate to say it, it’s done is good Holgate coming on. Godfrey just isn’t a presence in the air and it was hurting us. At least Holgate has come on and offered us something there.

Palfy Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 We are starting to look ragged in the middle giving them far to much space and time, half time whistle can’t come soon enough. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 I hate it when people go on about refs, but this guy surely isn’t a qualified ref? Not the penalty, just his overall performance.

Still, a soft pen following Pawson giving away a free kick after Sterling literally fell over without contact. We can’t fucking win. Godfrey only injured because the linesman didn’t call the ball out of play when it was clearly out. This shit gets so tiring sometimes.

Bailey Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 The lead up to that goal is a real mess across the back line. We don't deal with it down the left (Tarkowski / Gordon / Myk) then Mina is beaten in the air by Havertz, Sterling could have had a chance there and then, it gets recycled and Holgate moves out of his position, Mina is miles away and Doucoure tries to catch up. We got worked over, side to side and lost all of our discipline. Every season it is the same story. If you give teams lots of possession deep in your half, you become really susceptible to silly mistakes or a break of bad luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msloan78 Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Definite penalty unfortunately, but some right bandit decisions. Corner where Godfrey got injured. No corner for Gordon. 2 free kick calls again Tarkowski on Sterling Vs a very similar challenge by Azpiluceita on Gray going unpunished.

dunlopp9987 Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Well so much for that 0-0 I was hoping for. No clue where a goal will come from, set piece is the only option I see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodison Glory Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Just now, RPG said: We are looking much better than I feared we might. Pickford got away with a handling error and a couple of his kicks could have been better but ok. Defence is better organised, better led and generally looking solid. Midfield was the area that I was most worried about but so far, apart from the pen, Doucoure and Iwobi have done well I think and the front three have done all that could be expected with lots of pace, good control and interplay. Any news on Godfrey yet? Agree with all of that except the front three...a few break aways where we should have done much much better. McNeil has been almost anonymous (but decent when in the game). Now we have 5 subs I'd be changing it up at half time. delle for demari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 It is really a game of two sides without a real attacking threat. Neither front three have any real connection. I hope we can get an early goal because I dont fancy us trying to force the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Tarkowski foul, Sterling was already going down but Tarkowski still gave him a kick for good measure. He didn't bring him down but you still can't kick the player either. I can see why it was given, certainly not like he was innocent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do we get that pen at the other end that's the question you need to ask yourself. Those fouls happen countless times a week in the box and the vast majority are not given as penalties.

Yeh proper defender and you can see him and Mina always at the other players. He has got out of the line quickly to make a couple of blocks too. He might not have the highest top speed but he is quick enough off the blocks. He is starting to get worked by Sterling though. He looks a bit uncomfortable.

Bailey Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Ahh big chance. Great composure by Iwobi to square the ball. He is our standout player with the ball at his feet. Sibdane and Btay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
