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

Thought we were easily as good as Arsenal today and should have got at least a draw out of this match. Their goalkeeper was mom, how many times over the years has the Arsenal goalkeeper been mom against us, especially when Arsenal are at home ?
The other difference was the strikers, Arsenal paid well over £100m for their two, we paid under £30m for our two and today you could tell. They beat against the run of play with a worldy and their second was clearly offside. We played some good stuff today, our defending and approach play was decent, the only thing missing from our performance were the goals to show for it.

Suicide football is back , roberto would be proud. Let’s push our full backs on even higher next week, just for a laugh like.

When I say unrealistic expectations I am talking about the whole season. From the mess Silva inherited it will take the best part of 2 seasons before we can compete at the top end of the division.
Hopefully we can have a good cup run in the meantime.

I hope so mate. I want to believe in Silva but I'm struggling. Once Everton has touched you and all that

Very predictable that those cowards would bottle another game they had fought their way right into.

Idrissa Gueye worst player on the park yet AGAIN.

Please explain to me how Gana was worse than Calvert-Lewin?

Arsenal have been awful defensively this season. Trust us to give them their first clean sheet.

I've just worked out that away to the traditional Sky top four in the league, we've won once since 1999 (the Oviedo 1-0 at Old Trafford). That's 76 games.

So you would prefer to go back to the Allardyce brand of football, please think out what you type before you post it mate. We played well today.

I thought Siggy wasn’t great. Most others did quite well. Wingers faded a bit in the second half

Yeh, if I had to pick one, it'd probably be Gylfi or DCL. But I don't think any of our players performed below like a 6/10, so harsh to say any were poor.

It's really not the end of the world like some people like to say it is. We played well.

Neither of their goals came because our full-backs were pressed high, though.

Briefly just spotted their second goal.
How was that not seen as offside?

I'd still prefer this over an Allardyce back four rooted to the edge of our penalty area.

Down to their goalkeeper being mom and us not being clinical enough in front of goal.

Top six team at home, that's how.

Arsenal have spent more than us on transfer fees and wages over an extended period of time. And we've never won at the Emirates.

With that in mind, I thought we played well today. Their goalkeeper was MotM for me. That says it all.
