Even as a Leeds fan I can admit it was technically offside. However, Jarrod Bowen interfered far more with the gameplay in the cup match last week but because he (probably) didn't touch the ball, that was somehow deemed not offside. Today, Rodrigo touches the ball but didn't change the course of the attack in any way at all. If he isn't there, the ball is in the net anywway. So the laws of the game surely have to be thought about again. It's a pretty stupid set of laws or interpretations of the laws that lets the goal last week stand but cancels the goal today, when all sensible logic would have it the other way around.

You're preaching to the converted.

I can't say I saw last weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only person that thinks it’s completely crazy that it isn’t a rule that the manager (coach’s etc) all have to be of that nationality. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsX Posted 16 January 2022 Share Posted 16 January 2022 Rodrigo is clearly in an offside position and it goes in off his ass. This isn't VAR over-ruling our two v Brighton because Barnes was somewhere in the vicinity. This is VAR correcting a clear and obvious error. It's on Rodrigo. If he wants to goal-hang, he should get onside or get out of the way. It's not like he could have legally touched a rebound. What is he trying to do with both feet on the line? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 16 January 2022 Share Posted 16 January 2022 If you are in the face of the goal and the ball hits you, you are interfering with play. He's unfortunate but no need to change the rule, just frustrating for the team that scored. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 16 January 2022 Share Posted 16 January 2022 Martinez's last game for Everton was the day we lifted the Premier League trophy, which by a strange coincidence is the closest Everton have come to a trophy in the last 27 years. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsX Posted 17 January 2022 Share Posted 17 January 2022 Everton FC in 2022 = Manchester United without the money. I imagine they can get a decent gaffer, but only if the contract is lucrative even if they flame out. Way too poisonous to even bring out speculation about top managers … they are well past that.

Popular Post Dan LCFC Posted 17 January 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 17 January 2022 Potter would be mental to go there. Every time the Everton job comes up and the 'lesser' clubs managers are linked I always think there's a good case for them to stay, often it's Sean Dyche. WIth Potter it's a no brainer for him to leave that one. Brighton's a very good job for him and he should ride it out. Dyche I actually think might be the one. I think Burnley are very much on a downward spiral now. Their new ownership is going to crush them in the longer run I fear. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 17 January 2022 Share Posted 17 January 2022 Rooney might work given enough time, not sure anyone else gets enough time tbh. Moshiri needs some truth tellers for his advisors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 17 January 2022 Share Posted 17 January 2022 Rooney is actually doing a good job at Derby. If they carry on they may survive the drop to league 1. The Everton job may be too early for him even though his boyhood club. Fat Frank will be camping out in the car park for this one but don't think they will choose him. Think it would be overseas appointment for Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyTennis? Posted 17 January 2022 Share Posted 17 January 2022 The Everton model seems to be: 1. Spend half a billion on players. 2. Repeatedly appoint elite level managers with a track record of winning the biggest competitions. 3. Finish 15th. 4. Manager leaves, rinse and repeat. I'm not sure that bringing in any big name managers will change this, at least not anytime soon, because it hard to see exactly what's wrong from the outside (to me it looks like the appointment strategy is dire - they seem to be flashing the cash for fairly disinterested players who no-one wants). But for whatever reason, they're a club that people struggle to care about. Including their own players. I could see how appointing Rooney might work, though - they have had lots of experienced managers who have done nothing. At least he would bring a bit of identity and pride in the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 17 January 2022 Share Posted 17 January 2022 Everton have a similar problem to United to be fair. It doesn't matter who goes in to manage them if recruitment continues to be terrible. They need a plan on and off the pitch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
