Danny 2,212 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I think Josh Dasilva might be back for this which would be nice. I’m in two moods, I would love a great Cup run to try and help lift the club but also we have the worst injury record in the league and I’m not sure we need the fixture congestion. A win would be a great response to the hammering we took from Wolves in the league though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a red card, but after some of the reds I've seen some people justify as red cards... no way in hell can we say nobody honest in the world can call a red card a red card. They could still be honest, they'd just be idiots. But yeah, that's never a red card. But don't be surprised if people defend it. Look here's some idiots defending it on the BBC's website right now: Everton should have absolutely no complaints with that. If you're gonna go in that high, the least you should do is win the ball with the same foot actually making the tackle Alex, London SMS Message: It is very harsh, but that is a studs up challenge.

Administrator Stan 18,407 Posted January 4 Author Administrator Share Posted January 4 Never a red. No malice in the tackle. It's high, but it's not that dangerous and Calvert-Lewin was in control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people will say mean things about you on the internet. BUT you get £100k+ a year AND you don't even have to attempt to even be somewhat decent at your job. It's literally stealing a living as long as you don't give a shit what people say or think about you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 3,828 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) I love the way ITV hedged their bets when handpicking that game initially, only to bung it out onto ITV4 just incase it was shit. They'd have had more joy just filling the slot with Rocky 4 again for about the 87th time. Edited January 4 by Lucas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,406 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 As anticipated a boring game. We struggled with there midfield, they struggled with our midfield, we struggled with Calvert-Lewin, they struggled with Mateta, and the substitutes weren't good enough to impact the game. Whoever decided to put this game on TV is an idiot. There was so many better games to chose from. As for the sending off, by the letter of the law I get why its interpretated as a red because his studs are up and he has endangered an opponent. But it's very soft and I would have been livid if one of our players got suspended for that. Palace fans are the absolute worst on Twitter. I've never seen such a disconnect between the keyboard warriors and the matchday going fans. The narrative they have around Roy Hodgson being a dinosaur that needs to go is completely ignorant of the lack of options in our squad. The latest is 'Olise wouldn't be injured if he got subbed sooner', and the hindsight police are ignoring the only change we could have made would have been Olise for Ahamada, which they would have moaned about anyway.

OrangeKhrush 299 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 i think DCL should get credit for not arguing. He knew that while it wasn't bad he left his studs up shin high, he could have made a scene but accepted it in a very professional manner.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,672 Posted January 5 Subscriber Share Posted January 5 We've appealed it, I don't hold out much hope that it'll be a successful appeal. I'm not so bothered about the match last night as neither side was likely to win that anyway with the time left on the clock and the lack of quality on show. However, even the silly minority who think "you can justify it by the letter of the law" might think that he deserved to miss the last 15 minutes of the game for it surely don't think he deserves to miss 3 further games for that tackle. In a sensible world you'd like to think they'd at least reduce it from 3 games to 1 so they can allow the referee and VAR to save face by not rescinding the red card entirely but the appeals process seems to be so rigid and black and white that I'm pretty sure they can't do that.

Danny 2,212 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 ERECTION SELECTION LETS GO. I think this is a 4-3-3 but honestly who the fuck knows because there's three centre backs there. It could be a back three with maybe...Damsgaard at wing back? Who knows. Still, Josh Dasilva being back is sexual. Damsgaard starting is sexual. Dasilva and Damsgaard in the same eleven? Sexual. We might get pumped tonight, this is Dasilva's first game of the season, Damsgaard has barely started and Lewis-Potter and Maupay is not an established forward line. But fuck me it's good to see some players back playing together. Lewis Potter - Maupay - Dasilva Damsgaard - Norgaard - Jensen Collins - Zanka - Pinnock - Roerslev Flekken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,212 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Gomes red card and Norgaard off injured. Last thing we need is another injury. Team is: Maupay - Dasilva Damsgaard - Janelt - Jensen Lewis-Potter - Collins - Zanka - Pinnock - Roerslev Strakosha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 2,212 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Doyle has scored an absolute screamer to level Wolves. That's the second Manchester City loanee this season to score like that against us whilst not playing against Manchester City. The other was McAtee at Sheffield United.

You guys should have won this match with Wolves having a man sent off so early on. I still hope Brentford are the team to go through in this tie though.
