Toon v Leicester

It's a red card all day long. If the ref had given it as a red then VAR wouldn't have said 'hang on, it's only a yellow'. Both can't be right.

If they got a point it means Everton would have to beat Bournemouth to guarantee safety as Leicester's GD is far superior.

Everton would just have to match or better the results of Leeds and Leicester at the weekend.

Going to be an interesting final day tbh

If Leicester get a point Everton will have to win on Sun to be sure of staying up. A Leicester loss means Everton can draw.

I agree....Given that Everton must be massive favourites to beat an on-the-beach Bournemouth at Goodison I cant believe Leicester were playing as if a point was a good result.

Much more expansive and they'd have shipped 2-3 though.

Leicester have done themselves a favour tonight. No way could they expect to win against Newcastle. A point is useful. They look to have the easiest of Sundays matches imo, a very tense day for Everton and Leeds.

Roosterbooster · Post by **Roosterbooster** » Mon May 22, 2023 10:08 pm

Final day permutations:

Leicester need to win, and hope Everton don't

Leeds need to win big, beat Leicester's result, and hope Everton draw; or win, beat Leicester's result, and hope Everton lose

Everton would go down if they draw and Leicester win/Leeds win big; or if they lose and both Leeds and Leicester win

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Mon May 22, 2023 10:09 pm

It is a good result as if Leicester win, which I think they will go all out to do, it means Everton have to now win. If Leicester had gone for it and lost Everton could have played out a draw on Sun. It puts more pressure on Everton. According to the Bournemouth fans their manager has been experimenting since they were safe. I doubt he will on Sun due to the importance of it

Simples Leicester win,Everton draw,dirty Leeds ,and Scousers are down

distortiondave · Post by **distortiondave** » Mon May 22, 2023 10:12 pm

So;
Everton win - Leicester and Leeds down regardless
Everton draw, Leicester win - Everton and Leeds down
Everton lose, leicester and leeds win - everton and leeds down
If either Leicester or Leeds fail to win, they are down regardless.

Yes?

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Mon May 22, 2023 10:14 pm

It sounds as though the Everton squad could be down to the bare bones.

If they go a goal behind, I can see them failing under the pressure. Biggest issue is that I can’t see Leicester beating West Ham.

Wish one, is that Leeds don’t win.

Wish two is that Everton don’t win.

Wish three is that Leicester find something from somewhere to get a win. Not sure if there’s a genie out there that could deliver on that third wish!

Just turned on the analysis and was waiting to see this majestic save……doing Pope a disservice there, he practically dropped his cap on it. They want to look back on some of the saves they overlooked at the turf.

Another example of Pope suddenly becoming a good keeper now he plays for Newcastle.

Even the EG stat has just come up as 0.07

I think the reason it wasn't a red card early on is because Guimares barely touched the man. He only touched him hard enough to send him rolling on the floor - a bit harder and he would have been screaming in agony and thumping the grass. (Of course, if he'd actually have been hurt, he'd have been lying still.)

The point of red cards is that they are for being reckless, out of control, and likely to cause injury. Presumably the ref and VAR felt that because he barely touched the man, he wasn't likely to cause injury.

Cork got away with one on the same technicality. He made a sliding tackle and got booked, but many (almost all Blackburn fans and some on here too) thought he should have been sent off; he got away with it on the basis that he hadn't actually touched the man at all, which (in the ref's eyes at least) made it unlikely to cause injury.
