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

[COYBL25]

There's absolutely nothing to like about this team.

The team on paper, is much better than the way they’re being set up.

It’s like park football.

 

[Old Blue 2]

Jeez!!! This is a team who should have won the title last season! Did we expect anything else? There are far better games from which we should pick up points in the next 31 games...

Voted for branthwaite thought he was excellent today mykalenko close 2nd the rest need to look at themselfs im afraid proffessional footballers who cant pass or keep ball for 10 seconds

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Only positives I’ve got:

Branthwaite is class

Tarkowski looks very good again because he’s not next to a clown

Mykolenko is still a good left back when all he needs to do is defend. Felt much better with him there than Young though accepted there would be no forward contribution. Saying that he did get in there box and win a corner late on so maybe that was just tactics?

And that’s it. Midfield was abysmal, McNeil and Danjuma were basically playing as second full backs most of the game so again, not their fault.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I feel like giving up on football, which I've followed for more than 60 years. Cheats that go down clutching their faces every time they go into a challenge. Referees that kowtow to the 'top clubs' (4 minutes time added on for the timewasting of Raya plus the goal and substitutions and the severe facial injuries of the Arsenal players).

And yes, we were [Poor language removed] and yes, we could have challenged more but it is just all crap.

Yeah it was just an absolute shmorgishborg of all of the worst elements of following Everton Football Club in the Premier League in 2023. I dunno how much longer I can put up with it really..

Talentless, woeful squad with a large pinch of Shytehousery. The greatest manager in the world ain't getting a tune out of that lot !!!

ye trying to have a go mate. to not at home is a disgrace

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

That was just incredibly flat. Really hard to see where we go from here..

Dyche has got to be on thin ice.

Down

 

[Bob Latchford]

Absolutely terrible

 

[Street end man]

Dyche is just embarrassing complaining about only 4mins extra time, we’ve done nothing in 90 and that’s down to him

Exactly mate, if he got 4 weeks we'd not score with those tactics.

 

[Mikey O]

We weren't battered but couldn't lay a glove on them today.

I'm convinced that it will turn in our direction soon now that we've got some players back, McNeil, DCL and we'll get that bit of luck required.

An earlier poster is right that there are some v.poor teams around us and we'll stay up.

 

[Mr PEN86]

The way these Arsenal fans are celebrating because they won at Goodison Everyone does these days. Clowns

 

[Bilko]

Positives Branthwaite our man of the match.
And that's it.

I thought all our defenders had a good game actually.

 

[from_the_eighties]

Reidy and Royle looking at that shower. It is sickening what has been brought into this Club

Far too many overseas players now to compare to those days, you are never going get the same camaraderie unless you have a vocal local there.

 

[ah11984]

Thoroughly depressing.

The only way this team stays up is if all promoted teams gets less than 30 points.
