Where to start when dissecting Sunday’s draw with Tottenham.

From the shocking performance of Martin Atkinson, Son’s tackle on Andre Gomes, and the ever continuing struggles that VAR brings.

Sunday’s game, which was actually quite boring from a football perspective, produced plenty of talking points.

However, my big gripe afterwards wasn’t over the whole Son and Gomes saga, although it is scandalous that the forward has had his ban overturned, but with VAR once again screwing us over.

We should have had two penalties on Sunday, and when you take into consideration last weekend’s events, just for once it would be good if the club speak out and complain about the poor calls being made on a weekly basis.

We must be the easiest team in the country to give a 50/50 decision against, as we just take it on the chin.

That has to change and Everton need to make a stand.

Because if they don’t now, then they never will.

Rarely in all my time as an Everton fan have I seen as inept a performance by a referee as Martin Atkinson on Sunday.

He got absolutely nothing right and the sham that is VAR was just as bad if not worse.

If it was the first time the latter-day Clive Thomas had wronged us you could just say he had a bad day at the office but it’s his continuous bad decisions against us that must point at something more sinister.

He must not be allowed to referee our games any more.

I must now use this column to send Son Heung-Min my heartfelt apologies for the pain he has suffered since Sunday when his revenge lunge on André Gomes got him all upset.

I’m sure he is a lovely fella and the attempt at hacking Gomes down had nothing to do with the elbow he thought he had previously received from Gomes.

I hope people realise he is the real victim here not Gomes who has only slightly destroyed his ankle.

Despite another terrible performance on Sunday another referee hiding behind a screen has cost us two penalties - after a softer one being given the week before.

We are not great at the moment but the decisions against us are verging on cheating.

VAR is sucking the life out of football and needs to go away.

Keep on, keeping on.

It’s sad we have to focus on the serious injury to Andre Gomes from the Tottenham game.

He will be badly missed in the battle for Premier League survival.

The selection of three central midfielders made for a more cautious approach to the West Ham game and this was not a great team performance & it was a relief to eventually come away with a point.

When Iwobi gifted the goal to Tottenham I think he should have been hooked rather than Walcott.

I also thought Coleman should have been introduced for Sidibe to try and get behind their defence.

VAR was cruel to us for the second week running with a clear penalty not given for handball by Dele Ali.

Cenk Tosun has had a raw deal this season and deserves a start against Southampton.

We are currently in a relegation battle with a return of 11 points from 11 games. The Southampton and subsequent Norwich game are now massive and we will need top performances to get results.

A poor performance from the Blues on Sunday but they kept fighting and managed to get a point at the end.

The match was ruined though by VAR and the stop-starting.

The fans in the ground did not have a clue what was going on every time it went to VAR, why can’t they show replays on the big screen?

It was taken so long for the Alli incident and they still got the decision wrong, why can’t the referee go over and watch it on the screen at the side of the pitch? It is beyond a joke now and needs scrapping!

Why don’t we protest about anything, we are too nice as a club!

Let’s hope that Gomes has a speedy recovery and is back playing again very soon. The Southampton game on Saturday is a must-win!
