Match Thread Arsenal 0-0 Everton, Sat 14th December, 3pm

I know we got a point today for which I am very grateful but the football was dire. The sooner Dyche goes the better for me.

 

[Mercedes]

so if we didn’t get a draw they would of gained 3

'would of'?

English not your first language?!

I very much hope so.

 

[Sussex]

A result that was not expected.

We did well defensively. Attack was almost non existent but a point against that whitehousery(spelling) team will do for me

They do lack a number 9. They could take Mr Calvert lewin off of our hands for 60/70 or even 80 million in January. That should be good for both sides

How much was your pint?

I am in the City, near the Bank of England, as I am going to another do this evening.

The pint of Brixton Pale Ale was £7.20 so I’m glad I was able to call on my gold reserves in the BOEs vaults to pay for it.

The Guinness was “out of stock” so god knows how much that would have been.

Didn't see the match. Was he up against Saka? Pretty much everyone suffers against him.

He was. And that’s true. Difficult assignment for anyone.

I’m just having a pint after leaving the Emirates and enjoying an unexpected point from the game.

My observations from my vantage point in Block 22-:

Pickford was my MOM due to the saves he made but his overall calmness when we were in under pressure…good to see more positivity regarding collecting the ball or going and punching danger away.
Young played well but Branthwaite was a bit shaky at times and gave the ball away leading to dangerous situations…Tarkowski more solid than he has been and good to see him getting in the ear of the ref who was diabolical.

Finally, can someone kidnap Jack Harrison and drive him to Leeds and dump him in the Elland Road car park and even pay a reverse ransom to Leeds so he does not come back.There was a moment in the second half that was the epitome of a “Jackism” when he controlled a cross field pass and beat his marker in one touch, leaving him to play a pass to DCL who had started to make a really good run that would have given him a good shooting chance…Jack played the pass to the space that DCL had vacated behind him. He was hooked off pretty quickly after that.

I was sat at home but I screamed at him from my seat just the same. He didn’t just pass where DCL had been, he passed into the acres of space BEHIND him like he was making an entirely different run.

Tough watch but great result

get to bed lad

 

[PhilEFC]

See Arteta is cry arseing because we never played the way he wanted us to.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

I’m buzzin’ on how much this has upset some Arsenal fans I know.

‘What is the point in Everton?’

Most of us have been asking this for a few years mate

Endless side to side passing and then 20 mins of crossing. Zzzzz

i mean he’s probably right

and they’d have had it as a win

I'm not sure wingers in a Dyche team are primarily played to attack. Harrison in the last two seasons did provide decent back up for his full back.

Let's just say it's a surprise to see winners produce in the final third under Dyche, by design or ability.

Correct. Under Dyche everybody's first responsibility is to defend. No attacking player will shine as long as he is here.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Should be delighted with that result it's a good result.

But the manner (Bleak)

Mykolenko motm and Young superb

 

[Ged G]

Happy with a point away from home but sad that we are reduced to playing defence against attack (again).

Any port in a storm

 

[Ged G]

Correct. Under Dyche everybody's first responsibility is to defend. No attacking player will shine as long as he is here.

We need to survive. I'm not a fan of him, but first things first.
