Match Thread Arsenal 2-0 Everton. Sat March 14th. 5.30

[lieneverton]

Our best performance of the season considering the level of opposition.

Poor from Pickford, but also that tiny flick couldve gone anywhere and happened to land into the lap of Hincapie.

I'm cautious about patting ourselves on the back when losing but if we keep playing like that on the regular then we're going in the right direction.

 

[Richard Alex]

A clown who has saved us from the abyss for the last few years....

Like I said previously he makes unbelievable saves at times but today he’s cost us. He has this behaviour in him.

If you had only listened to the commentary you would swear Arsenal were playing swashbuckling, rapier, dazzling football, while we clung on for dear life and set out to destroy the beautiful game of football, until the opener Arsenal had created nothing, the better chances were ours, if that's the best in the league we really shouldn't be afraid of facing anybody

Absolutely sick of TV companies thinking fans want to listen to someone on co-commentary who is blatantly still a fan of the club they used to play for.

 

[Bilbo]

Against the best team in the league we came away with a loss but a huge amount of credit and positives

 

[Ring master]

Beto offered almost nothing, Barry offered even less.

Not for the 1st time and nearly every single time. Barry annoyed the hell out of me

 

[Gibbo1976]

Why was Pickford annoyed at the linesman correctly giving offside in first half,was it because his good save didn’t matter,strange guy

But isn't that the make up of a goalkeeper, Southall had his moments and a different personality to most but you wouldn't question his ability

 

[DualityNSNO]

You can blame Moyes for not playing our best team, and setting us up with negative tactics.

And subbing and playing players out of position, I guess.

But it wasn't that, we had no plan for the 2nd half other than "brave the storm, keep it 0:0".

 

[AndyP94]

It’s on Moyes again.

Clown refuses to select his best team.

Wait, who else should have been picked instead? Possibly Patterson at RB?

 

[GoldenToffee]

He set us up to snatch that, and we should’ve.

Best chances were our’s by a mile, up until their goal.

He preferred to spend the money on up-and-comers the kin divvy.

He should fall on his sword tonight.

 

[Daytripper]

Yeah, there was an inevitability about it all. I suppose, we've seen this movie many times at places like this over the years...

Yep

 

[Old Blue 2]

You can blame Moyes for not playing our best team, and setting us up with negative tactics.

So at 0-0 we were not set up correctly. Holding the top of the League to 0-0 in the 88th minute. What game were you watching. We had gone closest with hitting the post in the first half. ALL down to Pickford...

 

[Miked1e]

Always going to get beat so that sky and the premier league can have their moment.

Write that one off 1-0, 2-0 it doesn’t matter

 

[The Celtic View]

There was no need to send him up

I like Pickford but he’s way too willing to venture forward like he thinks he’s Manuel Neuer

Stay on your line and leave it to the outfield players

.

He was like Manuel Annoyer at their first goal.

 

[nsno_traditionally]

Best we've played at Emirates for years, didn't deserve to lose but we were too wasteful with our opportunities. Really pleased for Alan Smith

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Shove it up your arse.

More people agreeing with me pal, but you’ve probably never been near Goodison or Bramley Moor and you’ve certainly never played the game, bet you’ve never kissed a girl neither !,
