No need to be Mystic Meg to have foreseen that Taleban Tim would screw up again on a cross, that Giroud
would bully our central defenders and score and that despite the Bayern game Arsenal would do enough to win.
I read Lyndon Lloyds's report and agree with it 100%. But lets hope that out of this predictable defeat
something good results; Barry's suspension may mean that we end playing 2 defenders in midfield, that Taleban Tim gets dropped forever, that Funes takes over from Jags and adds some height and punch to our [Poor language removed] central defenders, that we always start with Del Boy and that Baines is back fit sooner than later.

14-1 win mate and Howard scored 6 direct from superb goal kicks.
Barry and McCarthy scored the other 8 which were all set up by Del.
Arsenal were crap though so I wouldn't even class it as a decent win, played well better away to Swansea but only had a point to show for it.

Thought we played ok to be honest, letting them two silly goals in straight after each other did it for us.

Was unable to watch the game live so only seen it on MOTD. Whilst once again Howard's inability to deal with crosses was revealed but also the inability of the defence to do so. No doubt this weakness is now well documented amongst all the Pl clubs.
But although Howard has arguably again cost us points one should look at the tactics and strategy of RM which certainly contributed in some way to the loss. Too much tippy tappy in front of our box for me. Seems like we are partly back in the dark days of last season.
It is being borne onus that not getting a suitable GK in the summer will blight us. Why oh why RM persisted with Howard is a mystery and yet was pursuing wingers like they were going out of fashion. To win games when setting up a team and signing players it is better to start at the back and work forward, not do the forward first and then work back.
Not a good day's work.

I thought we started off well, we appeared to stifle them and we're looking to break.
20mins and keeping a clean sheet usually is a good marker against any team away from home.
The killer is after all the good work...bang 2 poorly defended goals, which certain parties have to take the blame.
We then get a goal back and hopes are raised again.
In the second half we looked a more positive outfit and pushed Arsenal all the way, this was proven by the two defensive substitutions they made.
In the end Arsenal deserved the win
A few points
People use Arsenals mid week game as being a negative that we should jump on the back off, I think the opposite a win against BM is going to have you brimming with confidence
Galloway appears to be this weeks scapegoat, the KID had another good defensive game, attacking isn't his best attribute but he is a CM so it shouldn't be expected
People talk about going for it from the start, if there is one team you try to stifle and annoy it has to be Arsenal. If you go for it from the start most times they will pull you to pieces, and game over quickly.
If people think we should be getting points from Arsenal away, I think you need to look at the history books.
No qualms over the way we played, if you take the 90seconds of madness out of it
I agree time for TH to be dropped.....

We had more than enough chances to win this game.
Lukaku hit the bar from a header, should have scored.
Delboy forced a sweet save from Cech from a relatively closed out angle due to defending positions, maybe could have done better.
Stones stole a volley from Lukaku and spooned it wide, should have scored.
These were off the top of my head, another day we win and everybody is going manic. Once our best 11 is worked out, starting games and in flow we'll e unstoppable.
Perhaps Barry being sent off is a blessing in disguise, he's been great, BUT it does stop us playing 2 defensive midfielders for one or two games so lets see what happens.

And Arsenal had many more chances to win the game more comfortably.
Once! I'd have hoped that our manager would already have this worked out. But I take your point he probably hasn't.

They did indeed. I guess i can't ignore their chances and account for our own - but you get the point I was making.
You would have thought so wouldn't you! He needs to find out asap because I think there's a set 11 most evertonians could call to be played without question and for some reason bobby's never done it.
