James Garner has spoken of his frustration that decisions continue to go against his side and described Everton’s upcoming clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers as a ‘must-win’.
The Blues suffered their second consecutive Premier League defeat at the hands of Manchester City on Wednesday night. Second-half goals from Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez and Bernardo Silva cancelled out Jack Harrison’s opener after 29 minutes.Reported by StarNews
However, Alvarez’s goal came from the penalty spot after Amadou Onana was judged to have handled Nathan Ake’s shot from close range. Blues boss Sean Dyche was dumbfounded by the call to award a penalty.

It was the second controversial decision to go against the Blues in a matter of days, after Dominic Calvert-Lewin saw a goal against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday chalked off following a VAR review.
And asked if he felt his side was on the wrong end of calls at the moment, Garner replied: “Yeah, we are. Calls just ain’t going our way at the moment, but I have not seen the penalty, to be honest with you, so I don’t really want to comment on that.
“But things just ain’t going our way at the moment, but that is just football.
Before he added: “Especially against the opposition we are playing, Tottenham, who are one of the best teams, and City, who are arguably the best team in the world at the moment.
“Like I say, I thought we were in the game for large amounts of it, and when decisions don’t quite go in your favour, it is a tough one.”
Reflecting on his side’s display at Goodison, Garner said: “It was a tough result considering I felt we played really well in the first-half.
