Match Thread Everton v Arsenal - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[svenboss]

I’m happy, unbeaten in the league under big Dunc. Arsenal wouldn’t push in to us and we didn’t on the them. I’m happy as they wanted to expose us with the pace they have. Good point.

 

[Sadken]

The passing and control are horrendous, what do they do in training, massive clear out is required.

I

I'ts my miiacle on 34th street moment.Please don't shatter it.I'm only 8.

Your spelling confirms this

What about all the injuries and sickness in the camp ? We got much more from them games than anyone thought ,reel your neck in.

Yes, there is that but with a better team selection and subbing we may have got more out of a poor Arsenal. How about Bernard instead of Siggy and why not give Dowell another go?

 

[Yorkie89]

Went with holgate thought he did alright again and plus been our best player this month

 

[Connor]

Really, really poor that.

He really isn’t, it was our 3rd big game in 6 days, the players understandably lacked the same level of intensity they showed last week.

This is the annoying thing, people assuming that the players have unlimited reserves of energy, and are just 'fecking lazy and cowardly' have probably never played a real game of football in their lives.

When the body tires, a player can not simply just force himself to play at the level he played a few days earlier. You will hit a wall and mistakes are inevitable. I'm not saying I know what it is like to be a professional athlete, but I do know after a certain point all the effort and desire in the world won't help much.

I would love to see some of the lard-ass posters who post these abusive messages during and after, games like this, sit down with these professionals who have reached the absolute pinnacle of footballing success, and tell them just how rubbish they really are.

Because in person they would surely realize how ridiculous they are, and how little right they actually have to be criticizing/abusing such people, either online, or in person!

Then we would see who the real cowards are!
Yeah, posting snide messages on internet forums....

Who’s voting Mason Holgate here? Sometimes wonder if people are watching the same game.

Another match I should’ve skipped going to in favour of decorating my airing cupboard. Glacial pace, awful passing and no end product. Welcome Ancellotti, please send us back to the glory days!

 

[Petit]

Half this lot are playing for their jobs now

Not really considering they have contracts.

 

[ADT]

Out of Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd and arsenal we’ve lost once.
Not bad for someone with half a team and not a manager. Well in dunc

 

[matty1878]

That may be true Matty, but feel happy inside safe in the knowledge it won't be like this forever. We've got a top man in charge now, onwards and upwards!

Deffo mate

 

[Khalekan]

I gave it to Pickford.

I detest the blert but that save earned us the point we barely deserved.

He’s right he’s right I say

You name names mate, I’ll sort out the venue for the straightener and the stadium jackets.

Not enough love for big daddy clean sheets. Yerry was class in the first half, that bit of play with the ball at his feet where he sent two Arsenal players for hotdogs was great for a twelve foot tall bloke
