Match Thread Arsenal v Everton Sunday May 21st

[captainvindaloo]

Well taken goal. Although lots of space to calculate the geometry needed to put it in top corner. We need defenders. Score flatters them. The arse there for the taking, and, as we have done most of the season when away, looked passionless and unmotivated. Interesting summer ahead, more so than last year.

Last 4 games have been utter gash, but I guess that's what happens when you're not playing for anything because you can't improve your position and you can't lose it.

Hopefully Koeman gets what he needs over the summer to make us a top 6 team instead of a "best of the rest" team, the gulf between us and the other 6 is huge and needs closing

Will be interesting to hear Koemans post match comments

"We started badly letting in an early goal, makes it difficult, with better finishing we could have got a result." something like that

 

[bluestevon]

Well that was pretty crap lol

 

[The binman chronicles]

Don't be too hard we are doing our best to keep Kroenke at the club.

 

[Moggers]

Pathetic but no surprise.

Ah well, if we were in any doubt, under no illusions now what needs doing in the summer.

Its been emotional peeps... Enjoy your summer

I would only give Koeman the first 10 games next season.
So much for shoring up the defence, 3 at Arsenal, 3 at Spurs, 3 at Liverpool and 3 at home to Chelsea since the turn of the year. Couldn't even trouble ten men today. S**te season again.

Spot on

We have been a disgrace against the bigger sides

Let's not even get onto the cups

 

[Goat]

Decent result that, tough place to go.

COYB

The problem is going to be that those 6 above us will spend big money as well mate.

Don't know mate, we give them a run for their money when McCarthy went right through Payet (poetry in motion that tackle) we had some fun with that.

Don't think Goodison went round booing Payet though. Also if my memory is right it was more the West Ham reaction that we made fun of

 

[blaze]

The entire team needs competition for places, they all have it too easy because we don't have options. Most of them gave up a long time ago when they realised 7th was good enough for them - it would be funny if it wasn't so frustrating that some of them think they're better than they are when they're part of this team who limped their way to 7th in a mostly awful league.

Pathetic. Arsenal fans have stayed behind to protest

 

[Groucho]

On the plus side, after a shambolic two seasons, Koeman has got us back in Europe and our home form was great.

Far from perfect but patience etc.

 

[BlueShark]

Absolutely predictable capitulation.

Against 10 men and a team who lost their better players through injury too.

Lots of work to be done in summer. A new mentality would be a start.

 

[EvertonRhys]

That's par for the season. I'm hoping only three of today's players will start the first match next season. Don't do an Everton this summer Everton.
