What about the 2 penalties we should have had also? Yes they should have had a penalty but Pickford should have seen red and a penalty to us too

jamesshearman236mo ago

I’m not sure about the Pickford challenge. Keepers are always taught to make themselves big aren’t they?

daniel.owen6mo ago

100%, that was almost identical to the Pickford challenge which ruptured Van Dijk's ACL in 2020

martynpleasance6mo ago

Looked like a definite penalty but then when you read all the many silly different variations of the law, it was 50.50 But I am appalled that nothing has been said about Picford on Taty, which not only was a clear penalty because he followed through and put his studs along his ankle but it was a definite red card.

jonathan.gorrie6mo ago

I can't believe more wasn't made of that! Ridiculous 😂

jim.bradley496mo ago

must have X-Ray eyes then to see through the Everton player ..ball to hand no penalty

bw4904106mo ago

Yrs it should have been a penalty, but it's not often we get the rub of the green where VAR is concerned

stevesorrell5116mo ago

Defo pen, we have been blessed with to poor VAR decision

jonathan.gorrie6mo ago

Nice to get one in our favour for once right 😂

tomlynsmith6mo ago

Could’ve gone either way. We were fortunate. Had it been against us I would’ve wanted a penalty.

jasoncloutt6mo ago

I have seen a picture where Fernandez is behind with his eyes closed and no possibility of being able to see the ball so I think it was the right decision but, having said that I would be very angry if we had not been given a penalty if it had been the other way around. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ex-refs-chief-says-everton-3

jamesshearman236mo ago

I don’t think he meant it at all but does intent matter? It was a clear and obvious handball so he got very very lucky I think. Hopefully the refs don’t even it up in another game 🤞

gordon1davison6mo ago

Wow,a decision went our watt. We were lucky though

somerscom6mo ago

Stonewall penalty all day long but nice to see a bad decision go our way for a change. COYI

daniel.owen6mo ago

Haha yeah, I felt we should have had at least one pen at the other end anyway. Definitely for Pickford's lunge on Taty, and then I think it was Disasi who got a two-handed shove in the back

james.brooke6mo ago

Probably a pen, but it’s one that I think every fan would be gutted to see go against them. No intent at all

superbro1236mo ago

Fernandes touched the ball with his hand. Why didnt Everton get a cornerkick???

nealcrane16mo ago

It was a nailed on penalty, no doubt about it, but I’ll take any bit of luck we can get

jonathan.gorrie6mo ago

Totally. To be fair to Matty, he's been class this season, he's allowed one 😂

kwaylen6mo ago

They were both jostling for the ball and he got shoved that’s why his hand went towards the ball ! It was accidental as VAR deemed

randsholcombe6mo ago

win some lose some .VAR is rarely with us so I'll Take it with pleasure

trilsbachandrew6mo ago

Pena I reckon 👍❤️⚒️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇬🇧⚒️⚒️⚒️

jonathan.gorrie6mo ago

Same, but thankfully it wasn't!

jakewhu6mo ago

Probably, but we need that luck!

jonathan.gorrie6mo ago

My heart was in my mouth!

brogan6mo ago

If you are now allowed to punch the ball then correct decision 🤣

chillout6mo ago

daniel.owen6mo ago

Haha with the way handballs tend to be judged, I was stunned the ref didn't give the pen

daniel.owen6mo ago

I have to admit, I do think it was a pen. Though we could have had one or two at the other end as well, particularly that push on Disasi. I reckon we also get a spot-kick against Pickford if the camera angle was better...

alantelfer566mo ago

Bit like the pen against forest. Areola was a genuine challenge for the ball. Picford was from a distance and late.
