Match Thread Everton 0-1 Arsenal Sat 20th December @ 20:00

[blue to the bone]

Kinda as expected that . We battled hard , huffed and puffed a bit , probably could have had a pen.
They weren't great, scored their pen, hit the post twice and controlled it pretty much
Missing key players didn't help obviously. Next 2/3 games will tell us a lot more .

Comfortably controlled that game Arsenal, they were given nothing to trouble them tactically.

Arsenal aren't going to win the title.

I reckon they've got more of a chance than us

 

[Mr PEN86]

We didn't even try. Did Raya have a save to make? Absolutely pathetic. Might as well lie down when we face CL teams as that's all we ever do.

incredibly bleak performance, but should have had a penalty

 

[EFCINLONDON]

Looking forward to all the explanations as to why kicking a player in the box isn't a penalty

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Pretty even game

O’Brien having a brainstorm was the difference

It happens

 

[everton_jambo]

Opportunity missed. Disappointing.

Arsenal aren't going to win the title.

Not playing like that they wont. City currently performing better.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Dreadful performance in attack. Unacceptable levels to be honest

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

"Arsemulled" - when Arsenal drive you to drinking Mulled wine.

 

[Abraders]

the game was poo but a draw would of been fair

let’s all go and bash the moyes thread

Honestly if we had even had a few shots or threatened at all I'd say a draw was fair. As it stands we well and truly deserved to lose

 

[II McColl II]

We're going to struggle to create absolutely anything outside of set pieces till KDH and Ndiaye are back, that was woeful.

We might not be up there with Arsenal and there not that great themselves at ruthlessly attacking teams but the difference in patterns of play and composure are light years apart.

 

[Tommy Chong]

We gave them a stupid pen and we didn’t get awarded one for “enough contact”.

Same old story, LL…

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Tedious game.

Very toothless without Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall. So that's a concern for the next month or so.

Tedious is apt
