I don't understand why people are up in arms about the VAR decisions yesterday. We won't get those go in our favour this season. Even the 'stonewallers'. It's not a surprise.
Neither is the bad defending and bad finishing when we create chances. Both of those facts have blighted our season. Referee's are terrible. VAR is terrible. But the main thing is WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH! As simple as that. We have some matches where we play a blinder for 45 minutes than go back to normal. We look like we will always concede but won't score many either. Bad combination and a relegation formula. 4 matches to sort it out.

My two penneth.
We had a game plan to target Ashley Young, that 'worked' as we created 3 penalty chances. That we were given zero, does not mean we played a bad game.
Sels had bugger all to do, I remember 1 save from a header. The fact they crept 2 in off the post, against the run of play is 'unlucky'. I do agree both players should've been closed down with more aggression.
The club raised a potential 'conflict of interest' with Attwell appointed to VAR. This concern was ignored and what transpired I believe justified the response.
First penalty given, different game. 2nd given? Likely yellow card for Young and probably subbed, different game.
Likely result? We'll never know because corruption, prejudice or plain incompetence have conspired against us.
Club, players and fans should use this to create a 'siege mentality ', can we do it, against all the odds. FTID. ???.

Cheers Stokey. I was incandescent with rage yesterday and luckily opted out of a pint. The air would've been blue and not from grateful Evertonians. Most can't believe the decisions and felt we were robbed. Some Liverpool fans questioned the X post but backed down when I commented ' if a Man City supporting ref had done the same in a game of yours, how would you have reacted? ' Most agreed, they wouldn't want them near their game. I reminded them the bottom of the league is just as important as the top.
