Dahnsouff

Everton fans shouting the “don’t punish the fans” line, and although I understand - how else are you supposed to enforce FFP/PSR without unintentionally punishing the fans of the guilty club?

If Everton/Forest broke the rules, impose the allotted penalty, it should be a simple penalty, you broke the rules with bad accounting, lose 4/6/8/10 points, but keep it consistent. Man City is obviously very different as it is not bad accounting, more so a very bad actor, complicit in seeking to actually circumvent the rules of a competition at many levels. However, like refereeing, I am not convinced the drama of these events is not a key part of this serialised fume circus.

We would still have Rodgers?

Let it go, Cags had well and truly gone to the dogs by then. Rodgers still a dick mind.

Perhaps Marc as he has some positional flexibility, but even then we would still have no out ball once Cannon needs an inevitable early bath, also cannot help but think Yunus would have bullied quite badly. We are lighter in quality than the table would suggest I fear.

Was thinking we would need an earlier than normal sub, but beyond Hamza, I just couldn’t see who is available and could help tbh I am not at all interested with the reactionary posts, as nobody wants us to lose but although we aren’t managers, if people think something isn’t good enough, they must have an idea what could have prevented the observed failure, or is that unreasonable ?

What do you imagine we should have done? Maybe see leaving Steph on, but he wasn’t great and with no decent opposing winger, it probably made sense to ditch him to maintain some balance and go more narrow.

In this game, with Abdul having a moment, with no replacement attackers, I saw the sense in it. Drawing comparisons to the listed games is not, with out acknowledging those factors, a reasonable comparison in my opinion. Anyway, it was the fact you followed up so rapidly with the "here come the happy clappers" dismissive line that made me chuckle.

Here is an opinion looking for an argument.

Well, now it can’t…

1-1

Could mean that despite todays disappointment, we would remain 10 pts ahead of 2nd

Not sure that is the criteria - as I say, I need to view it again and it was a silly time to offer the ref a chance for home fan retribution

Taken the incidents in isolation, the Fatawu one looked a straight red and like he was off his feet, out of control but maybe I better find some other footage

Yunus maybe? In fact get Yunus on, Sensi in the middle for Casadei and we can just run through their legs

Fatawu? It was a textbook red.

There really is no redemption arc for some.

Leeds 1 up

Every team has an off day, today was ours I guess and don't agree on tactics complaints, we have proven we can do both, but today we self defeating and not at ours best. Next.

Think you might be in the minority today, could be wrong, but felt he was ok today, got around a bit. There were far bigger villains on show today, that's for sure!

Hard tactic I would argue when you only have 1 fit striker, but I do wonder what Enzo would have done if Vardy or Daka had been available

Do wonder if we had Vardy, Daka or Nacho available, if they would have replaced Cannon

So spawny for their third

Don`t give the ref a decision to make

Cannon is a pure striker - love it
