It really was over when Saka got injured, then Havertz. Not optimistic for Tuesday either within Gabi XL, the draws really killed everything this season.

I wasn't able to catch the game properly since I was at work, but the officiating seemed pretty crap to me.

I saw the penalty replays and I think it's a bad call. MLS gets pulled down and Harrison just flops over with no real significant contact. To me it looks more like a dive.

If it was an Everton player and Sterling did that it'd be a goal kick and Sterling would have a yellow card

Why does Everton usually give us trouble? They're not horrible, but they're also not that good. And we've steamrolled over much better teams.

Usually because they are fighting to survive 🤣

That's... actually a very good point!

They aren't in any trouble right now and credit to Moysey really, maybe it's a last hurrah at Goodison. I was hoping relegation would at least get interesting but it looks about all settled, boring!!!!!! It's not good for the competitiveness if the promoted teams usually suck and aren't reinforcing themselves for this tier.
