Massive result, completely deserved. Performance was exceptional; intensity was there from minute one to Webb's whistle. Ref controlled proceedings a little too much for my liking and Arsenal fed on that and you could see the fatigue in the lads' eyes but we hung on in there and I thought we'd sneak a 0-0.
Ozil then pops up with a goal they probably felt their second half deserved and I couldn't quite believe we'd let our foot off the gas having played magnificently throughout the game.
And then Gerard came on; unbelievable finish. You could feel the speed in our game changed and the offensive gear was switched on and we got a deserved point.
But the most pleasing thing, for me, is we got a point in the right way. We didn't come to Arsenal and sit off them and let them play their football; we constricted their playmakers and slipped the ball around the park with ease. We didn't park the bus and get the ball and throw it out to the flanks and hang on in there. We played football in the right manner. We ran with energy, desire and endeavour. To come back from 1-0 down against a team that will be competing at the peak of the Premiership at the end of the season deserves an enormous amount of credit. A fabulous attacking performance which lacked conviction at times and I thought to myself that this would haunt us. That's our issue; we break incisively and with such energy and pace and then we fail to slip in the right ball to Lukaku or Mirallas.
That's where we have to improve; our finishing of moves of late needs work but I'm not complaining. 4 points against United and the Gunners suggests how far we've came. I don't think we'll get CL realistically but with the way we're going and the momentum we're carrying into each fixture, we're giving a right good go for it!
Fantastic. Proud to be a Blue as always. If we finish off those moves and conclude those breaks with the reward we deserve, then we'll be making wins and results like this a regular feature of an Everton season.
Brilliant
