Match Thread Everton v Arsenal - Barely a preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[riddick]

Can’t watch the game today, can someone give me a quick summary?? We getting murdered or holding our own??

Neither really. Doing ok defensively bit not even trying to counter and the passing is atrocious.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Gotta be Dacoure off and Garner on, give ourselves a better chance of keeping the ball more than 2 seconds

100% - might actually play a good ball through for beto or the widers.

 

[matty1878]

It's solid enough and we're defending well, but good god is there a worse team on the ball than us? Like a team of rugby players.

i just said that lol

 

[brooks]

Insanely accurate.

Dwight’s shot towards the goal is just as good as anything they’ve generated.

 

[N0L1M1TK]

Just get a new manager now please, so at least we stand a chance.

 

[Jimishorts]

That was certainly a half of football.

Enough to make you appreciate the adverts.

 

[DanEFC92]

Garbage this innit.

 

[HuddersfieldToffee]

To be fair, there is a school of thought that life itself is a simulation, so it would be ironic for the simulated ref to book a fellow simulated person for simulation.

 

[dannyboy]

Absolutely dreadful first half which makes me think the manager hasn't even given the players any tactics here at all.

Low points definitely the entire midfield, McNeil and Danjuma.

Onana, no idea how he survives that first half but he will.

Danjuma is a worry. Looks completely off the pace and not the player I thought we were getting.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Stuff the pundits and the lowlights of that 45 minute sleeping pill. End of the first balf aus vs fiji is on.

 

[tadpole]

Hanging in there ...

 

[Zatara]

Hope you are watching @Zatara because your boy Onana is absolutely useless

How do you think Dyche is doing?

 

[Andy McGurk]

Remember whenever Dyche needs to comment "we actually have some really good players" and produce a performance like that. Fully understand that Arsenal are leagues ahead of us, but maybe just trust these players to come up with some sort of attacking plan!

 

[kenada_blue]

we’re just trying to bore a draw
for 90 mins

it’s proper fat sam tactics

Against the 2nd best side in the country.

A lot here think we're playing Fulham at home again.

 

[bluelife]

Quite simply an embarrassing half of football. No exaggeration, that was the worst 45 mins from Everton I might have seen since the last time Liverpool embarrassed us.

No doubt Dyche will think all is rosey simply because Arsenal forgot how to score. Should all be utterly humiliated at that, nobody can pass a ball, no shape, played through like butter whenever Arsenal tried it. Shocking
