Fabulous save by Pickford there..

Weird one as he went with the wrong hand making it more dramatic... maybe that's his stronger hand?

Pretty sure I've heard Mark Schwarzer and Petr Cech comment more than once that that is how they prefer saving shots like that.

Everton defensively shambolic two of the most stupid penalties you're likely to seen given away.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The second is just awful from Everton, Garnacho somehow running through non-existent challenges to get into the box without pulling a single trick or going round anyone, and Godfrey then boneheadedly bundles into him as he's running into traffic and going to lose the ball anyway.

They don't play now until the end of March so they're going to have gone a minimum of three and a half months without a league win.

At the end of the day, I suppose that if you make the save you haven't used the "wrong" hand for it.

Think it maybe helps using that hand when springing off the opposite foot?

Yes, daft challenge.
Although if Everton score next it could be game on. Unlikely the way their finishing has been so far I know, but they gave had several good opportunities already.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They've scored one goal from open play in the whole of 2024, I can't see it.

No nor me really .

 

[Wolftone]

Some of the passing has been absolutely dire.

 

[Wolftone]

So, other than the stupid challenges, blatant missed chances and dire passing, what's not to like about watching Everton

 

[jd1981]

Ooo Ergh mr Ramsdale

 

[Squeak]

Oh dear Ramsdale...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That's Albion's Aaron Ramsdale to you.

Good, can't stand the cocky prick.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Hehehe. What a goon. Or Gooner. Or probably goner.

 

[Alan]

Charlotte kicks off at the top of the hour if anyone wants to check in on my other illness.

 

[AndyWolves]

VAR should be able to award yellows for bullshit dives like that. There's no jeopardy for a player diving, that needs to change

Edit. That would have been a second yellow for havertz too

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh look, Brentford taking 2 minutes over every throw and goal kick again. What a joy to watch they are.

 

[jd1981]

That’s a great save by Ramsdale in all fairness

He's always been a good shot stopper, but I think he's one of those keepers who is better when they're "busy". I don't think he has the temperament for a top side

I'm probably one of Sa's harshest critics but there's no way I'd want us to sell him and buy Ramsdale for more money, and we're as mid table as it gets.
