Following Everton’s loss to Manchester United, Owen Hargreaves criticized James Tarkowski and Ben Godfrey.
The TNT Sports analyst chastised the pair for giving up penalties during Saturday’s game at Old Trafford (9 March).
After two fouls against Red Devils star Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford scored from the penalty spot to give the home team a 2-0 victory.
According to the official Premier League website, Hargreaves stated, “They’re ridiculous challenges.” “I tell my son’s squad to keep moving forward. Sean Dyche will be incensed by these awful difficulties.
James Tarkowski and Ben Godfrey of Everton make a mistake at Old Trafford.
Tarkowski and Godfrey will be frustrated to have both given up spot-kicks at Old Trafford, but they can’t really shoulder all the blame for the loss in Manchester.
Nevertheless, their teammates fell short of expectations, with Sean Dyche slated to scold the Everton strikers in especially for their inability to score.
Erik ten Hag will be happy with the three points, which puts the home team in the fight for Champions League spots even though they did not play at their best.
The Merseyside team is still very much in the running for relegation in the Premier League, and the Toffees could have really done with at least a point away from home.
Maintaining Everton in the Premier League is Sean Dyche’s goal.
Dyche’s team will now have to wait until the very end of the month to get a chance to recover due to FA Cup and international activity. On March 30, the Toffees will travel to the south coast to play Bournemouth.
In other Everton news, news of Newcastle United’s injuries is expected to provide a blow to one of the Toffees star players internationally.
