Everton vs Brentford: Referee Chris Kavanagh Announced, Fans Unhappy

As Everton prepares to host Brentford at Goodison Park this weekend, tensions are high. The Toffees’ recent performances have sparked fan criticism, with some calling for manager Sean Dyche’s departure. The announcement of referee Chris Kavanagh for the match has only added to the anxiety.

Kavanagh’s History with Everton

Everton fans may not welcome Kavanagh’s return to Goodison, given his past decisions. In February 2022, he infamously opted not to award a penalty for Manchester City’s Rodri’s handball, leading to a 1-0 defeat for the Toffees.

According to Transfermarkt, Everton’s record under Kavanagh is:

Games: 13
Wins: 5
Draws: 3
Losses: 5
Red cards: 3
Yellow cards: 14

Kavanagh last officiated an Everton game in January, a goalless draw against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup. His previous match was another goalless draw against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Fan Reaction

Fans have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction:

“Kavanagh is the last referee we need right now.” – @EFC_Fan

“His decisions always seem to go against us.” – @Toffees1878

Pressure on Dyche

With the Friedkin Group’s takeover imminent, Dyche’s position remains uncertain. A loss to Brentford could intensify pressure on the manager.

Brentford’s Thomas Frank has been tipped as a potential replacement, adding to the stakes.
