Everton v Arsenal. 23rd Aug at 17.30.

If we can sort out our second half syndrome, we can beat anybody! Just have to iron out the creases.

Kone looks like being one of our worst ever signings. We spent £5m on him.

I feel a bit sorry for him tbh. He was bought as a stop gap and to help Martinez's transition from Wigan to Everton and he's just been plagued by injury to the point where we can't really draw any conclusions on how good he'd be for us. But we desperately need to support Rom with one of either Remy (can't see it) Welbeck (would like) Berahino (would be ecstatic) or Eto'o (pretty short term).

Wenger didn't suss anything out today.

His team was well and truly beaten.

We gifted them the point.

Those are the undeniable facts.

The amount of times they have sneaked a draw against us in the last few years is excruciating.

I do feel sorry for him. Just annoying scenario.

Why don't we give McAleny, Long or Hope a go?

Yeah i think welbeck would be a positive addition. Possible with Di maria coming in

An out and out striker makes a difference to our play. The drop off in quality from Lukaku is just so huge that he looks irreplaceable. That's why an adequate deputy is an absolute must. We can't keep dragging Rom out for 40 games this year. He might well die.

I'm sure people were saying the exact same thing last season when we drew with three "poor" teams to start our season.

Had we taken points there, Champions League may have been a more realistic possibility.

You just cannot drop points from the positions of strength we had in our first two matches.

As much as you can say them 3 draws cost us 4th, you can say losing to palace did or losing at the pit and so on.


We all know all it takes is a run of games and we can shoot right up, nothings guarenteed

Think they would need nurturing a fair bit and possibly loaned out at a reasonable level.

I think they'd deemed him surplus anyways, it's whether or not they would want to sell to us and for how much more than anything.

I've got to sympathise with the lad, I can't recall who it was, but he said he bet 10 quid on a 2:1 Toffees win with Coleman scoring the first, he would've won 1600 pounds...

As opposed to have no forwards on the bench though? I'd just throw them in there in the mean time.

 

[bluemangroup]

I can't see that but I'm sure it's really funny mate. Your posts are great like that.

 

[Elong]

We're not making the Champions League after 2 games lads.

Call the season off.

yeah I'm pretty good, why can't you see it?

Rather unspectacular if I'm honest.

In Europe, I wouldn't disagree, as we could possibly afford to be more flexible, with personnel and tactics. But none of those lads suit a single striker system at PL level I don't think.
