Im still gobsmacked at that first half refereeing display. I cant remember one foul, it was ludicrous that he kept giving them the free kicks. Just like Dyches Burnley. One of the most suspicious refereeing performances Ive ever seen that. Like I understand you get conned once or twice, but 10-15 times is nuts. The one when Curtis just stood still and was staring at the ref as though to say Ive not even moved here and he had the whistle in his gob before the Everton player went down.
You have to be able to compete, its a contact sport and a physical fixture. Everton pushed us after every pass, kicked us in every collision, held our arms, tugged our shirts and the referee just looked the other way. Ive no issue with Everton doing that, we want a physical game, but you cant have DCL backing into players, shoulder barging them, pushing them etc then punish Konate for getting close to him to contest a ball.
