For those not wholly committed to a spiral of despair.....

We started well, probably for 20mins, ran out of puff a bit which is understandable as we were doing a lot of good work off the ball. Looked ragged for the last 15mins which you could put down to the conditions. Arsenal only had one chance and took it. Been a game of few chances with Arsenal taking a measured approach (again probably to do with the conditions) and looking more comfortable because of that.

Is McCarthy playing?

 

[TomDixie]

We really need new additions, it is scary that Kone will be our second striker for the season

We need two big investments, in central attacking midfield and forward.

 

[SteRobbo84]

Arouna Kone is absolute toilet.

 

[blue4eva77]

Going forward we are woeful here

It's the same slow predictable passes, with far too much space in between our forwards.

 

[SteRobbo84]

Naismith's shabite too!

 

[DanB90]

I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight after witnessing that first half. Completely outraged!

 

[Furey1878]

Lukaku for Kone

Barkley for Naisy

Mirallas for one of our CMs

Reshuffle to Mirallas - Barkley - Deulofeu behind Lukaku

2-1 Everton

 

[Alex17]

Only time we looked like scoring is when Deulofeu ran into the box

 

[Efcjake]

We need to be stripping Kone down and selling him for scrap.

We could spray paint him gold and flog him round christmas time for a few bob.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Missed the irony then...........

"But he insisted that if the negotiations are successfully completed the Blues would be recruiting a “complete striker” who would increase competition for places in a crucial department of the team".

“He’s a very complete striker,” he added...

Get kone and naismith off, Barkley usually plays well against these so don't mind him coming on.

Its the final third, theres just no creativity or speed to create stuff, too easy to defend

 

[Dharma]

Lads, it's pre-season, playing Arsenal in front of 45,000 of their fans, it's nearly half time and we're getting beat 1-0, a bit of perspective please...........

Yep, We make excellent foils for them.

 

[Ring master]

Dont worry people,some of you will be somehow blaming us not winning this cup final,on a bad season if we are doing crap by the end of it lol,fitness is all that matters,after all is that what people said was the problem why we did bad last season according to some

 

[Warrington Dan]

Cleverly, Barry and McCarthy - that midfield is lucky to get you 5 goals a season. Far too negative
