Since it's The Emirates/Arsenal.

Does anybody visit Rwanda?

 

[arch stanton]

this is like attackers v people who have e never played football before

 

[ForeverEverton]

We will concede and when we do it will be game over...

 

[GoldenToffee]

It just doesn't make sense at all to put the ball up to DCL's head. What's he supposed to do, flick it on and get on the end of his own flick on? Awful.

This is like watching a league 2 team play a prem team in the cup. Absolutely embarrassing. There is absolutely no intention here to score a goal, not even nick one

A league two team would have a go

 

[Rich1878]

Aside from corners they've not really done much.

I'd be very happy with a point

Bite your hand off for a point

As horrible as this is to watch, I’d take a 0-0 and the rest of the match is as horrendous

This tactic away to arsenal is absolutely fine with me , less so at home to Fulham but no issue here .

 

[Terrarian]

Are we on the same level as Arsenal, No but we are also not on a par with a lower league club in the cup. Just about every team in the professional pyramid can make plays for attacking moves. This sitting in waiting to be mullered is soul destroying.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Mangala is very comfortable on the ball

Indeed I was thinking the same, it’s embarrassing but I would take the 0-0 at full time, .

Unfortunately this is the mentality here, it started with that “knives to a gunfight “ rubbish years ago and this is the extremes of it, or basically a fly waiting to be belted with a newspaper

 

[Nyhus]

We get the ball, a lot of Arsenals players are in out half, yet we dont even try to counter. We jog to the midfield, stop and pass backwards. Sometimes thats needed to pull at team out of their box, but why in the world would you do that on the counter?

 

[Rich1878]

Good stop again Pickford. I can smell it

 

[lungo]

Wait, did people think we could actually go toe to toe with Arsenal and get something…… hahahaha our fans are something else.

yeah expect nothing an everton rugby club should look better Football is not a sport for them

 

[Delargeinho]

Arsenal really have been struggling to find ideas since the first 20 apart the Odegaard and Martinelli.

Too bad, we are so diabolical in possession.

 

[NSNO1878EFC]

Fans complaining about the style yet they’d happily take Moyes back who didn’t win a single away game against the top teams in 10+ years.
