Everton v Arsenal. 23rd Aug at 17.30.

We're going to be so bad when the EL matches start with our current depth of squad.

 

[Greek Fisherman]

Martinez subs this year have been poor. That to go with pre-season and fingers should be pointed. Arsenal played away mid week and yet they finished the stronger...

 

[KevMirallas]

I can understand the positive thoughts, and normally I'm among them, but it's just not happening now FFS. If I walked into a pet store right now, I would boot every cat in the joint.

I'd drop Jags for Stones.

u need to watch MOTD then distin ball watching for the first and as weak as a 1 legged kitten for the second

 

[Big Fat Sam]

On the Domestos tonight after that gutless collapse.

 

[mawders]

I'm putting it down to fitness levels. Last 20 we were clearly tired. I worry about Jags and Distin. Their equalizer should have been dealt with. Maybe Besic should have come on instead of McGeady to help the midfield

Nothing too alarming yet, but we could do with a win against chelsea. I think we will get it too

 

[Tom Mc EFC]

The devil is definitely at work here, Senderos has impressed with Villa this season, strange.

 

[roydo]

Weird isnt it? If Arsenal had scored 2 really good goals, then we came back with crappy ones in the last 5 minutes, we would be made up.

Just so annoying!

We let you back into it. Had it won but stopped playing after 75 mins

You lot? Same as usual, niggly, snidey fouls, not a hope of challenging for title and a sour-faced manager complaining about everything.
Wilshire is the most unlikeable player in the league for me, horrible little beaut who I genuinely hope gets done by someone this season.

If we'd have been fit for the season we'd have won this easily....hey ho

You lot really didn't do much either.
Doubt you'll get anywhere near top 4 based on that performance.
Wilshere? How about your very own Naismith? Stealing a living he is.

 

[ianefc]

You seem angry Ian

Why do you have so much rage within you?

93.6% of evrton fans are raging its at least 3 weeks till we get a PL win and that will be followed by a bumming at the pit

 

[Del]

We had Osman, Atsu and McGeady coming on

They Had Cambell, Giroud and Carzola

 

[paulbefc]

Overall, I'm pleased with how that went.

I've seen enough now in the first two games to know we'll be up there again this season.

Last season we really couldn't have started slower. This season we've actually started better, whatever you think of the pre-season. There were shades of the 8 game winning streak of last season in that performance. We're not far away. The issue is fitness, clearly. We would have held on had we been even a little fitter, which we will be, soon.

The players have made a lot of the posters earlier in the thread look like prize weapons.

Absolute pisstake of the highest degree.

Jags and Distin need ushering out. Age is catching up with them and they just can't cope with the game. This'll be a common occurrence throughout the season, they won't be able to last the full 90 minutes.

 

[LocalNative]

No mate Osman needs to be embalmed.

The only thing that post has done is show how little you know about football.
