Throughout a period where Sean Dyche has been pining for some luck, his team has not received any, from red cards not handed to the opponent to loud penalty appeals waved away by those in black.
As a result, the fan base has every reason to be angry with the Premier League, and they expressed this anger on Saturday once more.
Even if the game served as a platform for protest against the organization that had docked them 10 points, Michael Oliver’s devious officiating performance only served to heighten the resentment among supporters at Goodison Park.
More chanting followed, effectively accusing the league of corruption about their usage of the officials and their policies of sustainability and profit.
Well, those charges will undoubtedly get worse as a result of one choice the referee made.
Why Sean Dyche won’t be on the touchline vs Manchester City
Because of PSR, it seems like the Premier League wants to prevent desire and advancement by maintaining the status quo for those at the top.
Financial behemoths like Manchester United and Liverpool are inherently favored by this incapacity to spend without first earning, whereas Everton and other struggling teams are forced to fight for survival in the league.
So, ironically, Oliver’s choice will severely hinder the visitors on Saturday when they play one of those established top six clubs against the Toffees.
When Beto wasn’t given what he thought was a penalty, the referee swung over to the dugout and waved a yellow card.
He now faces a touchline ban and will miss the match against Manchester City due to his third booking of the season.
After the game, he said, “Can they revoke them?” You are not permitted to express emotion when making decisions. It was a bad choice; as a result of my reaction, I was booked. There must be some common sense.
Everton continue to be on the end of laughable officiating
This is not the first time a refereeing judgment has left the manager and supporters perplexed.
Oliver’s performance against Spurs on Saturday was so one-sided that it caused a lot of anger around Goodison Park because the game was filled with dubious decisions.
Although criticizing the officials every week is becoming old, it is concerning how frequently they make poor choices at crucial situations.
As of right now, Everton is the only team in the division without a penalty. That seems like an almost impossible endeavor, especially in light of the several obvious instances in which they have been denied a spot kick.
The goal of VAR in the game is rapidly being rendered meaningless since, honestly, what good is it if players can’t make these decisions correctly when presented with all the available angles?
