***Everton v City Official Match Thread***

[carl_feedthegoat]

If Arsenal go through tonight, which looks very likely, I think they will sail past West Ham. If they are eliminated from the CL tonight, I think they will be crapping it. The the PL is all of a sudden the only title they have chance on winning. That's some serious pressure after dreaming of the quadruple.

Agree Nools

That win last night will have been a massive boost for everyone involved at Arsenal
They will destroy West Ham

I don't think they will.
We had a massive boost after beating Arsenal then struggled big style at Burnley.
West Ham have to go for it. If they lose then Spurs beat Leeds they're practically down, their home record has been pretty good this year and the fans will be well up for it. I can see a draw but praying for even better.

We absolutely battered Burnley but couldn’t convert as half our team have no idea how to win a fucking premiership - they shit it.Arsenal will batter Burnley but ,unlike us, score a shed load of goals as well.

West Ham is the only banana skin for them and 100% it won’t be easy for Arsenal to win that match.

Half our team have no idea how to win it- ALL their team have no idea how to win it. They hardly score a shed load of goals against anyone. If we beat Brentford by a few it could be very interesting Sunday.

Arsenal are actually only two goals behind us in total goals scored this season. They’ve managed 9 wins by three goals or more( 31 goals ), while we’ve recorded 10 wins with (41 goals) — though 10 of those came against the power houses called Exeter!!! . So, in reality, there isn’t much difference. I still believe Arsenal will put four or more past Burnley, which we should have done ourselves. At this point, goal difference doesn’t matter — we’re relying on West Ham to score a couple, or at the very least, secure a win

[stupot]

The 2 goals behind us is in the league so not including Exeter., In a game more as well.
They've not managed more than 2 against Wolves home and away who are worse than Burnley.
We need to beat Brentford by a few then if they don't win go top against Palace.

I'm not so sure I agree with this. He was in an offside position when the forward pass was played but he wasn't interfering etc and when Guehi passed it to him he couldn't be offside.[/quote]

But he did, pal.
In the image below, barry or whatever the fuck his name is, clearly has intent to play the ball, and he is not just interfering, he is actually putting pressure on Guehi.
He actively played the pass, hence the offside should reactivate. His pressure is what made Guehi pass back.
That should have never stand.

But rules are different if they fit an agenda. Until last week we were told that if the ball touches the body then the hand, it is not a penalty. Then in the semifinal of the UCL, PSG receives the penalty before the half time after exactly that.

Your photo isn't available in my region so I can't comment on it but from what I have seen of the moving action I just don't accept what you are saying. You say his pressure is what made Guehi make the pass, but I disagree. If Guehi felt under pressure he would either have cleared it into the stand or turned in the opposite direction away from goal into safety, not make the situation worse by passing on it to the keeper. It's debatable whether Guehi even knew he was there, but his presence did not make him play that pass.

Players out on Tuesday night day after this shambles partying for Stones and Bernardo's leaving do. Class. We've got fuck all to play for so makes sense it can't wait until the end of the actual season

The picture tells the whole story.
If you can check the highlights pause exactly when Guehi passes the ball, sideline camera.
Everton’s player is attacking him.

I'm in complete agreement here. Never got on board with dividing play up into clear phases because football is not a stop-start kind of sport. One moment influences the next, and being behind the defender so that you can put more pressure on them should be just as much offside as if the attacker received the ball directly.

Ffa really? Just like when the cunts cost us a DERBY Cup final.

.the 8 minute highlights are on youtube. Shows clearly a forward pass and a player well offside. The rest doesn't matter
