Everton 1-1 Arsenal. Weds 28th November @ 19:45

[Skeleton Crew]

For 89minutes and 8 seconds. Everton were the better team.

Too bad that first 52 seconds we werent arsed enough to pay attention.

Be positive lads, it'll come back. Lets hope the injuries subside a bit and we can make a few signings in Jan. We're two quality players away from having a top squad. Hitz looked awful though. The gulf in quality between him and a half-knackered Gibson is unbelievable.

Can see Johhny H going in Jan, add that to any money Moyes can hopefully squeeze from the board and it's game on again.

Gibbo is a massive player for Everton. The difference between him and Hitz is huge.

Also, I honestly thought that, bar a few mistakes, Pienaar, while not anywhere near his best, was showing glimpses of form, especially with his combo's with Baines. He should have been awarded the pen, but made some bad decisions in the final third.

As for Jelavić, he's working hard - he just needs to be the one getting in the box and slotting - that is his game. He had his best performance for a while, and if he had more confidence he'd have scored one of the solo goals of the season (so far) tonight. Chins up lads...

The Hibbert was great tonight, good stuff. Good result all round, I'm happy with that.

Hibbert played well and what a solid defender he is.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

**** again.

I thought Pienaar was a disgrace, and Jelavic was absolutely useless.

I'm happy enough with our play, and hope it carries into the coming weeks.

 

[Brennan]

Not good enough. There's also nothing wrong with people being annoyed that we've drawn another game at home which we should have won.

[Poor language removed] all this 'happy with a draw against the mighty gooners' noise, we've been playing ace football and should have won tonight, just like Norwich, and Fulham.

The amount of draws we are getting while playing great football is worrying, because you can be almost certain we won't play this well for the whole season, and that's when we'll really feel the effect of dropping so many points.

Good performance, crap result.

 

[jamieni]

Baines has a hamstring strain apparently.

 

[Lien]

Good performance, crap result.

This can sum up our season really. Decent but really, really should have more points by now.

We accrued 3 points in 4 games against 4 relegation contenders in QPR, Norwich, Wigan and Reading.
Absolutely battered Fulham and drew
Should have won tonight. Drew.
The Newcastle game I think on that occasion you have to say we were absolutely robbed by not 1 but 2 completely farcial refereeing decisions. But again in that game were the opposite of clinical.

We have some real failings in putting teams to the sword. It's happening week after week and that's now 1 win in 8.

The good thing at the moment is that the table is still very tight but these draws will come back to bite us in the arse at the end of the season, no doubt about it.

the baines does not suffer hamstring strains, hamstring strains suffer baines.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Hitz werent that bad, put that lovely ball through for Jelavic when he crossed from the left.

Dissapointing really, but we are still right in the mix and you know we will hit a bit of form again. Worried about our next few games though.

Thought we were crying out for Mirallas and another striker with Jelavic. Bent on loan please

Newcastle (2pt), Fulham (2pt), Norwich (2pt), Reading (1pt)...7 pt lost because we conceded toward the end.

Worst Arsenal team for a good few years this one. They should have been beaten tonight.

Bit harsh really mate. Pienaar is out of form, but he looked a lot sharper tonight than he has done!

Jelavić caused them problems up top, unfortunately, he wasn't getting in positions to finish the chances, because he was creating them. Plus, we've looked a lot less clinical without Mirallas in the team. He's our most creative outlet atm, and need him back
