Rolta Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Of the two players which one is going to need to apologise for almost breaking the other's leg? It's March. If someone did what he did on a pitch to me I'd be furious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think March body crumbles into Digne after Digne makes contact with him and he loses control Edited November 14, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Clearly was a pen but not bothered we'll take it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted November 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2022 If it was dont to our player, yes, probably would be saying thats a peno, but then at the same time March ran into Digne who causes the collision. Also, does "Clear and Obvious" error comes into affect? The ref says no Pen, and VAR reviewed and it wasnt a "clear and obvious" error, so no Pen stood?

brommy Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 It wasn't a penalty as Digne had blocked the ball just before the two players clashed into each other. Without the significant diversion/block of the ball it could be a different outcome from the VAR process but after a study of the facts available (video from several angles referenced to football rules), the correct decision was reached. Perhaps Stockley Park should answer questions on their decisions to clarify doubts or lack in football rule knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 More annoyed about how much this is being debated compared to the Brighton handball in the first half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 High line with Digne, suicidal. Has good attributes but he might be slower than Targett 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 An expensive player, much too expensive for what what he actually contributes. Everton mugged us off with that price tag (and wages) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Cannot warm to him. Stinks of the overindulgence of the Gerrard era. Barely 5-10% better than Targett and we've blown a fortune on him. One of the first players in today's XI that needs replacing IMO and we bought him a year ago. That is rank recruitment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Digne’s flaws are greatly exposed when the midfield doesn’t cover him. I think with more actual wingers signed, we’ll see the best out of him when he’s able to get forward and use his set pieces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I thought he was an attacking fullback? He doesn’t offer much more that Targett in that department, and I think MT Is a better defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STO Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Ordinary player, got into some good positions but proceeded to pass the ball backwards instead of trying to get the ball in between the defenders and the keeper. Really not impressed by what I have seen of him so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Wasn't helped by a lack of support from Buendia, but some of his decisions off the ball were really poor for an experienced player Charging out trying to win balls he never was going to, standing still watching dangerous balls go right past him, trying to pass off players to centre backs who already have their hands full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Everton did amazing to get £25 mil and off the wage bill... He don't like defending. Lacks pace to be very good full back. Hoping and praying Ben Chrisene comes good and can replace him soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted December 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2022 Yes, I've been disappointed in him. Mainly actually his crossing. Came with a big reputation for crossing and he's mainly been pretty poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 A naive signing for a club in our position. High wages, wrong age profile, high fee. And you absolutely need those players to be your top performers if you're going to make those moves, we've made two. Digne and Coutinho... And it's hardly been a rip roaring success in either case.

It was stupid not naive. He was the ultimate Gerrard type of signing. Big name but done nothing to earn the reputation Everton were delighted to get rid of him, they even changed managers a few days later so can't imagine the board would have sanctioned a transfer if cared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
