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

It's his entitlement that stands out.

"Obviously there was only one team who deserves to win, and that was Arsenal."

That's like something a spoiled child would say.

I find him insufferable since he left Everton, and I was a huge fan before.
Can’t even imagine a personality like that in the club now tbh, he can’t have been such a when he played here surely.

I watched timo werner other night at Rangers and thought he was so bad he must have some kind of Everton DNA in him.

In the top 5 worst players ever to pull on a Spurs shirt.

Deulofeu wasn't all that, was he?

He's miles better than anything we have now.

Retrospect is a great thing. He was slagged by some then, but now is lauded...

I never liked him: a pound-shop Xavi.

He's about to be found out as a manager too, now that the excuse of City's rule-breaking isn't a factor in this season's inevitabel failure.

The most impressive part of today's point is the way the full squad have bought into it playing so defensively.

Lindstorm did pretty well (better than I expected anyway) defensively.. if they can keep that level of togetherness we ll be fine I think.

 

[Ged G]

Its a good defensive achievement, but disappointing, that we seemed to completely give up on trying to score ourselves in trying to keep the clean sheet.

Ffs sake, never satisfied. You'd have easily taken that point before the game.

 

[jceverton]

Point at arsenal nothing to sneeze at. Not too many Everton sides have achieved it.

But two shots at goal, not one on target and 23% possession is not the football I want Everton playing.

Didn't even throw a punch.

Doucoure had the chance of an upper cut but blew it big time!

We have members of the parish moaning about a point away at Arsenal?
Never change GOT

God bless.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

I was quietly confident didn't say anything on here to Jinx it. But let's be honest Arsenal didn't look that dangerous, thought Dyche made intelligent subs, unlike last season against them.

We were robbed of a point there last season when that handball was ignored in the last minute.

 

[stretford blue]

A really good point and brilliant we kept another clean sheet.

Annoying that Ipswich won but they're going to find it really hard over the next few months, quality wise they are sorely lacking. Leicester likewise, have seen a crazy stat that in RVN's 3 games they've conceded 74 shots. If that's true then holy moly, no chance they'll stay up. Wolves I still think are going to fight 'til the end. They're just stick in a spiral where everything is going against them, and their players are overthinking everything (oh how we know what that feels like). But one win from somewhere might kick-start them.

Another couple of points this month would be great. If we never actual drop into the bottom three places before new year, that, along with the takeover being rubber-stamped, would be a huge mental boost for everyone. People might actually start smiling again!

Didn't west ham have 20 or 30 shots against Leicester and got beat

Happy with a point of course - and maybe away at Arsenal is one of the few times we need to play defensively - but it was grim not seeing us have a bit of a go at them.
I'll never understand why we don't have at least one man on the half way line when we defend corners. It makes zero sense. They need 2 or even 3 to mark one of ours - instead of their whole team around our box.

"Obviously there was only one team who deserves to win, and that was Arsenal."

Is he wrong? Do you really think, if we had to pick one team to deserve to win that game, a single objective person in the world would pick Everton? I love Everton, and i wouldnt ever argue we deserved anything more than we got from that game, and i would totally understand any Arsenal supporter being disappointed they didnt win. If any team deserved 3 points, it was Arsenal.
Thing is, they didnt win, ie they didnt deserve to - mute point Arteta.
