Match Thread Arsenal v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[davek]

Kinda expected.

Nothing to do with football and more down to the fact it's the usual weak mentality.

How many times we've been in a position to kick on, play a top team out of form away, and don't get a result.

Mentality and terrible finishing.

FFS, that lad C-L should have had 4 today. On a plate for him too.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Ridiculously unlucky. Dcl should have 4. Sidibe cost us the game imo. We know he can be all over the shop defensively, it was ok was up against klasinac but they got at him too easy with saka on. Positives to take from it but all up we should be leaving there with at least a point..absolute bare minimum.

Everton that, an injury forces them to bring their best player on and change the game

Beat United next week and Europe is back on in my opinion. But am so beyond tired of these horrible big game records.

 

[matty1878]

Another very difficult game, they are actually playing well right now. I said going into these games I´d be surprised if we got 4 points.

It is but we’re at home

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Oh and pickford is still garbage

PICKFORD

 

[Billysgingham.]

he missed a utter sitter of a header which he should score which i said-if you didnt agree thats up to you,and missed other great chances,

A good striker puts 2 of those chances away.

 

[Lelouch]

The bottom line is we gave two easy chances to one of the best strikers in the league and we didn't take our own chances, Nothing else about it we played well.
The performance was decent.

 

[Frank Butcher]

We should have got at least a point out of that. Played ok but switched off at vital moments. There is definitely a mentality issue with going to some of these places and we look beaten before we start. That Arsenal team minus Aubameyang are average.

 

[blue to the bone]

he missed a utter sitter of a header which he should score which i said-if you didnt agree thats up to you,and missed other great chances,

I dont agree no.
But as I said people are lined up to knock him . It's sad

 

[the golden visionary]

I don't understand why we don't try a few of the u23s instead of the likes of siggy iwobi etc. Can't be any worse

 

[matty1878]

Another away game against one of the big boys and another defeat. It doesn´t matter if we play well or play badly, we never come away with 3 points from these games.

I thought second half was a good performance but the problem for me is if Arsenal didn´t score in the first minute after half time then we probably would have been clinging on until they did. So much of it is a mentality issue. Too many players in the team stop showing for the ball when we need them to the most.

Arsenal aren’t a big boy anymore

 

[captainvindaloo]

Deserved a draw, but there are no statistics in the table for that. They put their chances away, where as we missed some sitters, and had a couple of good saves against us.
Both teams as good and bad as each other.
Summer reshuffle very much needed.

 

[ValBlue]

That’s the best we’ll play and lose

 

[ChesterBlue]

Nonsense. Four points between fifth and eleventh.

We aren’t taking points away at Chelsea, nor vs the RS, and will likely get a draw against United next weekend. On top of that we have to play Wolves, Sheffield and Leicester who I also can’t see us beating. If we had took something from this game the narrative is very different, but as it stands we’re below Burnley and Arsenal now

....is that you @Irish nsno who voted for Pickford?
