Match Thread Arsenal v Everton KO Sun 23 Sep 2018 4pm

i thought quite a few positives from that game, miles better than West Ham thats for sure. If we can continue to play like that we will start winning games again.

Not a big fan of Davies but thought he had a good game in CM for us today.

Get Mina in and Gomes and we are looking decent. Come January a decent striker and another Midfielder please.

Digne is boss aswell

It's getting ridiculous

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

This sky interview is proper cringe

What's Defoe doing there? Thought he was still an active player with Bournemouth

 

[BlueToff]

They were poor yet scored 2 goals? We were good but didn't score.


What?

My point was that teams do play poorly and win, mate.

I wouldn't say Arsenal were poor today. Neither were we. They just took their chances and got a stroke of luck and we didn't.

But to say teams don't play poorly and win is odd. It happens all of the time.

 

[andydgg]

depressed now, again some moments in the game we played well. But how can anyone say we are a good side, against west ham we played well for moments, against arsenal we played well for moments, we lost both games! by 2 goals...davies captain??? ffs he's just a kid! I really do feel we're going down this year. No positives at all. This is bad...

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I don't think we can blame the officials for losing. We can blame the officials for not doing their job. It's getting ridiculous now.

We collapsed after the first though. But that's happened for years. I don't know how to fix it. Nobody does.

We need a proper leader out on the pitch Toff, someone who would have got a grip of players when their first went in. As soon as they scored the amount of players' heads that dropped was embarrassing.

 

[COYBL25]

Didn't think Arsenal were anything special, one offside goal and a shot from outside the box.

We had loads of chances, should have been 1-0 up inside the first two minutes..

Our finishing is woeful, utterly woeful.

This season has started worse than last season with Koeman, with a much easier start too.

Does not look good

No, it looks like a work in progress, which is exactly what it is.

What's Defoe doing there? Thought he was still an active player with Bournemouth

Still is apparently!

 

[BlueToff]

I thought he was extremely poor all round. I don't see anything. I see a Villa relegation player. I see a player grossly overrated who is not good enough for Everton.

Tim, we're pretty garbage, mate

 

[Death]

If we can't beat Arsenal in their current state I don't know if we ever will

We'll smash them away the week after our relegation is official.

 

[radiostar]

In the cold light of day we simply were no where near good enough.

No change from the Koeman era as yet.

 

[Stutheblue]

No fan of Carragher but he's right. Not good enough in both boxes.

 

[BlueToff]

We need a proper leader out on the pitch Toff, someone who would have had got a grip of players when their first went in. As soon as they scored the amount of players' heads that dropped was embarrassing.

Yep, we don't have it.

And I don't think the new signings change that either.

 

[Methuselah]

Haven't seen the goals , but how offside was the second ? And would it have counted for a Non-Media- Six team ?

On the BBC 'live text' an Arsenal fan posted that the second goal was a mile offside.

 

[maccavennie]

It really does look like the linesman celebrates the offside goal lol
