The fans torn David Moyes after defending the horror challenge of James Tarkowski on Alexis Mac Allister after the Merseyside derby.
The defender of Everton had the chance to avoid a red card for the reckless tackle on the Argentinian midfielder of Liverpool, which aroused criticism of Sky Sports experts.
The former defender of the Rouds Jamie Carragher criticized Var’s “shocking” decision not to send Tarkowski while the legend of Everton Duncan Ferguson later accepted.
Moyes, however, defended the tackle and suggested that it was appropriate for the occasion. In an post-match interview, he said: “I first thought it was a brilliant tackle for a derby match. A tackle that we would have seen a few years ago.
“I understand things are slightly different with follow -up today. We might have been a little lucky, don’t put this with the goal because the goal was a different incident that won the match.
It did not take long for fans to share their opinions on the comments of Moyes and labeled it “embarrassing” for its daring taken.

A fan wrote: “It is a bit embarrassing a current director of Premier League in David Moyes does not know the rules of the game”.
“Really poor of Moyes. Not knowing the offside rules and call shiny the Tarkowski platform. Keep your physical hoofball tactics, “said another.
“I have to love Moyes, ignore Pickford and Tarkowski trying to break the players’ legs,” wrote a user.
Another said, “Oh, according to Moyes, they were” slightly lucky “with the Tack Tarkowski, but our goal was definitely offside. Perfect manager for the Blue S *** ‘.
At the 11th minute of the match, the Everton skipper released the ball but was launched from the ground and collapsed in Mac Allister with its follow -up.
Then, the boss of Liverpool, Arne Slot, said: “Even people who don’t like Liverpool much say how clear and obvious (a red card).”
Referee Sam Barrott gave a fault on the ground and immediately produced a yellow card for Tarkowski. Var checked the incident, but quickly decided that he was neither worthy of a red card, nor a second look via a Barrott instructor.
The Premier League published a declaration on X minutes later who read: “ The call of the yellow card referee for a reckless fault of Tarkowski was verified by the Var, with contact on the follow -up after Tarkowski played the ball deemed imprudent. ”
The legend of Everton Duncan Ferguson, renowned as a hard man during his play days, explained his feelings during his stay at half-time for Sky Sports.
Fans quickly questioned Moyes comments and brought their frustrations on social networks

“(Tarkowski) knows what he is doing,” said the Scottish.
“He passed directly through him and it could have been a lingander. It is a straight red all day.
“This is the referee’s first derby, maybe he’s a bit nervous. But he should have been taken to the instructor.
Tarkowski later seemed to apologize to Mac Allister shortly after full time in Anfield, after the defender could be seen at the bottom of the conversation with his counterpart.
