Craig Kavanagh has come in for some stick from Alan Shearer for an error he made during Everton vs Brentford on Saturday.

The Toffees failed to make the most of their dominance throughout the game. There were plenty of chances created but the finishing was well below par, with 22 shots off target.

It now doesn’t look good for Sean Dyche moving forward, as the run of upcoming fixtures could spell disaster for him if things don’t go the way of Everton.

Wolves have won two on the bounce, whilst Manchester United have a new manager and the other three teams coming up are all inside the top four.

That’s why securing all three points against Brentford was of huge importance, and there couldn’t have been a better opportunity with the Bees down to ten men for the majority.

However, it has been claimed that Chris Kavanagh may have made a mistake.

Chris Kavanagh told he made a big mistake during Everton vs Brentford

VAR had some controversy with Everton’s goal against Southampton, as Mike Dean thought he was onside prior to the decision.

Meanwhile, there was a penalty incident that went against Everton during their clash with Newcastle, as Dan Burn wasn’t deemed to have fouled Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

This time round, a decision went in favour of the Toffees, as Christian Norgaard was sent off after a VAR review of his studs connecting around Jordan Pickford’s knee.

However, Alan Shearer and Ashley Williams didn’t agree when talking on Match of the Day, as they believed the referee should have told VAR his reasoning and that it was accidental.

Shearer said.

“I don’t think it’s a red card either. I agree with Thomas Frank, I think it’s two players who are running towards the ball at pace. And Norgaard, he has to try and get that ball; otherwise, the manager says why on earth are you not going for that.

“It’s one of those where okay, it doesn’t look great in slow motion, but he has to go for that ball, it’s completely accidental.

“And I would have loved Chris Kavanagh to say to the VAR official who sent him to the screen, no, I saw it on the pitch.”

How is Jordan Pickford feeling in all this?

Jordan Pickford is lucky to come away from the challenge injury-free, especially as the Brentford man connected at force around and above the knee area.

It doesn’t matter if it’s accidental, it’s about protecting players.

He didn’t even play the ball, which nobody seems to be talking about.

We understand that he has every right to go for the ball and it could have resulted in a goal, but the follow through is unintentionally reckless.
