AliousEvertonians will not appreciate what the Premier League have announced after a past incident.
David Moyes will be hoping to continue Everton’s unbeaten run in the Premier League, as the Scotsman can extend it to eight games without defeat.The Toffees face Wolves in what could be a vital fixture in deciding whether Everton will secure safety in the top flight this season.
Although this looks highly likely already, Moyes wants 40 points at Everton to make sure the job is done.
This might come with difficulty against Wolves after a Premier League announcement, which won’t go down too wellStuart Attwell appointed referee for Wolves vs Everton
Everton have already had their fair share of refereeing errors this season, as the PGMOL haven’t exactly made it easy for Moyes.
The Toffees still haven’t gotten over the penalty decision in the dying embers vs Manchester United, as VAR made a major error going against Everton, which resulted in serious backlash.Now, the Premier League have made its next refereeing choice, with Stuart Attwell taking centre stage against Wolves.As you’d expect, the Toffees and Attwell have a history when it comes to controversial decisionsEverton fans will be having bad flashbacks with Attwell appointment
It seems like the Toffees will have a history with any referee in the top flight, and this season has proven any appointment is a risk from the PGMOL.The encounter with Wolves is a crucial game for both sides, so no lazy errors can be made, but Attwell was guilty of that in 2022.
When Everton faced Liverpool in the 2021/22 season, Attwell took some harsh criticism, as there was a second-half incident involving former Toffees star Anthony Gordon, who had a blatant penalty waved away by Attwell after Joel Matip fouled the winger in the boxThis brought serious controversy after the game, as former boss Frank Lampard and Everton contacted the PGMOL board with concerns over some of Attwell’s refereeing.
The defeat left Everton in the relegation zone with six games left, and Attwell’s decision almost cost the Toffees their Premier League status.
Referees have failed Everton this season, and Moyes will be hoping an incident like this from Attwell doesn’t creep up again.
