**Gary O’Neil** spoke about a 1-0 loss for **Ipswich Town** against **Everton**.
The _Toffees_ earned the three points through a deflection off **Thierno Barry**, whose headed finish in the second half was ruled out because of the offside interference of his teammate **Brennan Johnson**.
**·‘We gave a lot and looked a threat’**
----------------------------------------
Ipswich also suffered the setback of going down to ten men at the **Hill Dickinson Stadium**. **Abdul Fatawu** felt contact from **James Garner**, initiating a fall to the floor, and a second bookable offence saw him sent off in the second half. The moment did not stop the _Tractor Boys_ from giving a good account of themselves in this match, so they will be disappointed to have walked away empty-handed.
_"I thought we were unfortunate to leave with nothing; we gave a lot and looked a threat. We conceded a very unfortunate goal. The main criticism of the performance is that we didn't show the cutting edge that we have in recent weeks._
_"I've seen them given; I've seen \[Fatawu’s red\] not given. It looks like he is anticipating contact - and there is contact. I can understand it being a yellow card. Where it is on the pitch, I don't think the referee needs to get involved. I've spoken to him; he has been excellent for us._

_“I suppose the lack of experience... it's making sure when you're on a yellow card that you don't take any risks. I thought we were excellent with 10-men, and the home fans were restless._
_"The only disappointment is the result._ **_Liverpool_** _and_ **_Manchester United_** _are_ **_Champions League_** _clubs where you just have a go, but against_ **_Sunderland_**_,_ **_Crystal Palace_** _and_ **_Everton_** _we have shown we can be very competitive. We will get ready again for_ **_Fulham_**_.”_
