From page 16 in their match thread if anyone's interested.

Everton have an excellent crop of young English players, Lewin and Holgate dominant on their flank.

City missing their new left back Mendy badly.

Moist Bread

It was a premeditated attack on a defenceless player.

If that's a yellow card, well be seeing one for every player shielding the ball out of play with their arms out.

I can only imagine the ref thought he threw an arm or threw the head back. That's what I thought on first viewing.

Clear yellow card. Good decision ref

he backed into the lad, it happens 20 times a game.

Looks at player, takes him out of the game off the ball...clear yellow tbh, brainless by Walker. Totally needless

In the second degree.

It was an act of pure cowardice. He looked to take him out and did so. Thankfully the ref saw it and acted accordingly.

Doesn't matter how much he cost, it was never a yellow.

It was a harsh one, but, you're giving the referee a chance to make a decision - and you're already on a yellow, go on, sure, why not, give your opponent a sly, uneccessary, elbow - what's there to lose, right!.

He could have easily got away with it, but Walker has to have some brains.

Poor yellow card decision aside, still clear issues in City's play. Only really rose a level the few minutes before the Everton goal. While Aguero is still a threat, he slows down this team's build up play far too much and his inclusion distorts a shape that would surely lead to faster, fluid football.

If only there was funds available this summer for the manager to address this glaring weakness. But 3 full backs and another keeper were the priorities.

Refs don't think twice about sending players off this season. There is being stern and there is ruining a game when you are unsure of what happened. The league badly needs VAR, must have the worst standard of refs in the major European leagues.

there would be 20 yellows a game if that was a yellow. joke

Normally no. Especially not that cess pool. However given it was Rooney who scored then I thought I'd have a laugh at their meltdown.

I'd have a look at the United thread on RAWK the odd time too for a laugh.

GreNoLi

Would like to see the other Silva introduced, city might actually have too much depth, Pep feeling put upon to give everyone enough game time to keep them happy.

Well, supposedly, the standard in Spain is worse. Except when City are playing, of course.

You enjoy football for the tribal aspect. I can understand that, if not respect it.

Wasn't there a really soft pen awarded last week in Germany (I think) after review by the Video Ref?

Seriously, until the rules are massively tightened up I still wouldn't be in favour of it. Most times there's a penalty you still have debate over whether it was or not.

I enjoy football for loads of reasons. The tribal aspect is one small part, and given I sit infront of a PC all day long, having a quick look at a rival forum or thread on here isn't a big deal.

You don't need to explain yourself to the likes of me.

Richard Hillman

Arsenal

I can see why he gave the yellow. From his angle he sees walker (who was agro about getting the previous yellow) moving across, looking at the player, swinging his arm and the Everton player making a meal if it.

For me looking at it, it is an intentional foul. I feel all fouls that are intentional should be at least a booking.

Moist Bread

Hopefully the game won't suffer too much for it. Everton looked really good in midfield.

Harry Palmr

During the first half I voted in the poll that City would win the league, so its probably my fault.

Rayne Wooney

Everton got 50 million for Stones and put 6 goals past him in the last 2.5 games

Sterling at rwb?

Haha, I love that one.

wow Sane lol

That is hilariously bad

Moist Bread

It's funny that Mourinho has Utd playing with more freedom and far more creativity than this City side.

****ing ref it's not a head injury

This ref has been awful

Referee is great craic. Clearly just wants to wind up the home fans.

Who is where now for City?
Keeping up with Peps tactics is like a drunk argument sometimes

rob316

Sterling is absolute rubbish

Rayne Wooney

City have the best squad in the league by far but they just look all over the place on the pitch

As a Liverpool I'm drooling at the players they have but there is just no balance to the team. Ridiculous amount of forwards wingers and attacking midfielders.

Terrible finish.

KERSPLAT!

Liverpool

Good run and good save to match

Paully D

Vincent Kompany yellow card klaxon.

Moist Bread

It was worth it, he kept his team in the game while making sure not to injure anyone.

irelandrover

Everton

Calvert-Lewin has jumped into the player about 5 times tonight when he has no chance of getting the ball. Twice taking the legs from a player in the air and the ref has done nothing about it.

Everton are also delaying every free for both teams and again he has done nothing.

He´s been very poor tonight.

Everton

Augero with the dive

GreNoLi

Liverpool

Deserved to be fair.

ERG89

Everton pulled a Shakesphere bringing on a new toy & taking off a defending player.
Thought City wouldn't punish them mind

The ref has been excellent. The difference with Calvert-Lewin was there was no malicious intent.

Fantastic finish
