We'll need to score to get something here. Can't see us keeping a clean sheet.

Can't see Arsenal keeping a clean sheet either !

"Arsenal were outplayed".........get in there Blues......Roberto you are the man....

 

[davidloach]

Koscielny looks like Butthead from Beavis and Butthead

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

60-odd% possession through the first 40mins

Away

Against Arsenal.

Deserve to be winning, but I fear that we really needed to score in that period.

 

[when i score we riot]

Lukaku is looking a little jaded

Agreed, probably miffed because of the lack of service he gets. Whenever he recieves the ball it's for hold up play and jerking about on the wing.

Final ball must improve, didn't test their keeper really

 

[Herk8346]

great for 40minutes, but those last 5 minutes Arsenal walked all over us, we need to come back out dominate and get a goal before Arsenal start controlling again

 

[Brennan]

Lukaku's worst game in a blue shirt this.

Thought he did well to be honest, he's been working his arse off and making all the right runs, our midfielders just haven't given him the right passes.

 

[icburns]

We won der passing though lads.

 

[wandyr79]

That last 5 mins showed where we need to improve a lot and that is in the final move/ball.

We have been truly awesome in every other sense.

 

[sageyefc]

So far so good, we're playing like the home team.


What a bunch of pussies arsenal are, they moan about everything

 

[Furey1878]

We've been the better team for most of that half. Not enough clear cut chances though, Ozil showed he can turn it on at any second so hopefully that was a warning.

Typical Arsenal fans again, any challenge is treat as if one of our players has just kirb-stomped one of theirs.

Come on Everton, we can do these.

Best first half show of Everton football since mid-80s.
Get Deulofeu on and smash em !!!

 

[Lien]

Just wonder if this is illustrating the gap between us (a very good team playing well) and them (a great team) - they're the ones who've created the clear openings. Need to get our final ball right and score a goal to get something here, you feel.

With that said, the rest of it has been brilliant from us. I like the mentality we've got. Try to let rip against the poorer sides, try to dominate the passing and control the tempo against better teams.

Regardless of the outcome of this game, I really like where we're going under Bobby M.

 

[EFCNIK]

We've ****ted them but we haven't had a shot on target and they've had the two best chances.

That's my main gripe with playing tik taki football when you don't have barcelonas players.
