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

[Tipp blue]

Moyes has had two separate 16 year olds break the youngest goal scorer record while an Everton manager

Still didn't use Rooney enough, spoke about protecting him with limited minutes.

I don’t care he was a star at Everton. I really despise arteta now. What a crap premier league it has been. Midweek champions league results show how poor the top prem teams have been

 

[st.domingo]

Out-gunnered

 

[Bebeto]

A ridiculous scoreline based on five minutes at the end. They were outrageously lucky to win the game full stop but 2-0 is a robbery that Dick Turpin would have been proud of. What a poor unadventurous time wasting dull side Arsenal are and they had completely run out of ideas until Pickford handed them the points by turning into Superman.

And he knows it too...we all know that pickford makes from time to time crazy decisions but he has earned us many points over the years.

Well as I say, could easily have led to a red card. Could ultimately cost us a couple of million via goal difference too. Was daft.

So if he'd gotten a goal/assists/whatever and it ended 1:1, what then?

 

[Toffeeslam]

Frustrated that we couldn’t hold out, I didn’t think we were in any trouble.

For Arsenal when your luck is in well it’s in and they look like they are destined for the title

 

[marnie]

No way am I knocking that performance and for me Jordan gets a pass.Heatbreaking Yes.But a full team effort.The result flatters them. UTFT.

 

[maccavennie]

Gave Tim motm. Thought Keane and Jake done ok, Gueye done well and Mcneil had a good first half.

Up top though....we'd look more potent with John Spencer and a semi retired Mark Hughes than what we currently have.

 

[Zatara]

Moyes could have taken McNeil off earlier for Georges pace.

Not sure why he took Irogbunam off?

Barry & Beto were dreadful.

Garner absolutely amazing again. If we had a right back of his quality so he could play in midfield were in business.

 

[Roader]

Difference in coaches. One gives talented youngster a go. Moyes won't entertain playing Graham.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Still didn't use Rooney enough, spoke about protecting him with limited minutes.

He gave Vaughan his debut, Vaughan scored, then played 10 min in 1 game for the next 5 months or something, when the same thing repeated itself.

 

[Zatara]

Thought the subs were really poor, none of them came on and made a difference.

Beto was awful, replaced by Barry who was awful. Sooner them 2 are replaced the better.

Mcneil should have been subbed after 75 minutes for George, give them something to worry about on the counter. Instead we wait too long, take off the best midfielder by a mile in Tim, then shove Arsmtrong on the right when there wasn't a need to.

Like someone else said, they made subs to win. We made subs to hold on

We were so wasteful with the ball 2nd half, KDH really does panic for some reason when theres no need to. We need calm from him when we're under the cosh.

Not too disheartened, some solid displays but it was all just so inevitable

Pickford + the subs + centre forwards cost us.

Needed to slot one of the 2 or 3 good chances which was always going to be the case.

 

[RomanReigns]

The same way that raya came out for ndiayes cross and laid it on a plate for McNeil, Pickford does the same thing for Dowmans cross and we get punished

Fine lines

Easy to say after the facts...the reality is that our bench lacks quality, a lot of it...we need to continue to add more quality signing good players in the summer that can come and influence the game.

 

[Vaughan]

are they going to mention me at all in relation to dowman?
