Why Everton’s loss of points might be a “blessing in disguise”
Everton was furious with their point deduction, which they promptly disputed.
They described the decision as “wholly disproportionate and unjust” in their club statement, outlining their plan to challenge it.
Now that they have formally filed that case, they are waiting on the outcome of a fresh trial
that should result in a more cooperative outcome.
While Andy Burnham and other important players will undoubtedly win that fight
thanks to their hard work, one analyst now claims that the team might have benefited from the deduction rather than suffered a setback.
Garth Crooks named Jordan Pickford and Dwight McNeil to his BBC Sport Team
of the Week in recognition of their contributions to the Toffees’ thrilling victory over Nottingham Forest.
Regarding their current situation, he said the following in order to justify his inclusion of the former:
“It’s difficult to say how much their performance was inspired by being
docked 10 points by the game’s officials.” At the conclusion of the game,
it was evident that their players and supporters were celebrating their triumph.
Pickford’s free kick into the area allowed James Tarkowski to attack, and Dwight McNeil
scored the game-winning goal as a result.
But what really showed how determined Everton was was how quickly the England
umber one came out to stop Anthony Elanga’s chance at goal and how happy he seemed as he did it.
For the Toffees, this point reduction may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
Has Everton’s points deduction been beneficial?
Even while it is impossible to say for sure whether Everton has benefited from the deduction,
a few elements are undoubtedly going to benefit from this devastating news.
After all, the Premier League has undoubtedly brought the fan base closer together than it has ever been.
Their dramatic demonstrations in recent weeks have only served to highlight that,
and the statistics indicate that they would have been worthy of a convincing victory
over Manchester United if Alejandro Garnacho hadn’t scored an early goal.
This week, when they welcome both Newcastle United and Chelsea to Goodison Park in the span of four days,
will be a true test of that unity, with a boisterous support already established both at home and away.
The way Sean Dyche’s team responds to those obstacles will be a true indicator of the impact the supporters have.
The 52-year-old manager is probably fostering a “Everton vs. The World”
mentality in the locker room, which is another benefit the deduction appears to have brought.
As such, many have spoken out about the injustice felt by the ruling,
and will be particularly incensed to prove the division wrong.
One thing is for sure. The Premier League picked the wrong club to try and make an example out of.
