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....

Is right lad. They’re absolutely clueless imo.

Definite signs of tiredness I thought but we were still terrible in possession.

Probably no bad thing we're finished early today and boxing day doesn't fall until thursday this year rather than Monday or Tuesday.

We need to rest up, get some bodies back, and get some Carlo time on the training ground.

Yep.

I've been (I think fairly) critical of Iwobi but he was the only one in that midfield with any pace. Dunc got it badly wrong bringing on Bernard.

Again, I don't think Tosun did much wrong either. He just isn't quick enough and we ended up having to rely on Richarlison driving from deep, when he should have been the one in the area.
 

Poor performance Players looked shattered against the worst arsenal side I’ve seen at goodison.we played more like Marcos blues today than duncs blues.a point better than none though

As shocking as the game was. These lads have been coasting for ages now. Dunc has came in and given them an almighty rocket and this game was one too many for them and legs have gone. Is DF a tactical genius? Think we all know the answer to that. But let's not also take away from him the short term job that he has done here. Anyways I hope everyone has a nice crimbo!

They played like Marco silvas team today no fight or passion.take nothing away from dunc though nobody gave us a chance in them tough fixtures we have had and he’s unbeaten in all of his.

A draw vs Arsenal, most years, would have been a good result. This Arsenal isn’t those Arsenals. They were there for the picking. Should have won this one.
