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

[Richard Alex]

Moyes is cursed at Arsenal. Remember when Pienaar scored that dink in the snow in the 90th minute and they immediately went up the other end and equalised.
Whilst Everton manager I agree

 

[MACCA75]

Yes, Armstrong played as an attacking midfielder in a trio with Garner & KDH is better than Gana in this weird press whenever you feel like role.

I’d play a RB at RB. It’s unfortunate that Patterson is the best available but at least he can play the position without limiting our ability to overlap on the right wing or pull our most important midfielder out of position.

You’re giving these managers too much credit. The only thing separating them from us common folk is they had the good fortune of being in the right place at the right time, and with good relationships with the right people.

Given the same opportunities over the last 30 years I’m certain you’d do a comparable job to Moyes.

Stick to netball and rounders lad.

 

[PhilRegan]

Yeah. Bit painful. Creditable and at the same time exposed all our long term flaws!

No FBs to help counter, garner out of position, over run in midfield.

And none of our expensive summer business on the pitch until 85 minute, just in time to concede.

The system was heavily reliant on the shape and he dithered it away . The changes were mysterious.

 

[Mr Happy]

I was a 4 year starter in central midfield at university, but whether or not I have a deep routed tactical understanding is extremely subjective, and self-admittedly uncertain.

I would obviously argue in opposition of that being among the positive performances the boys have had this season.

A 4 year starter. Right.

 

[Richard Alex]

We played well. Arsenal created nothing until our brain fart

 

[DualityNSNO]

Maybe a pig flies in and scores a winner. Then what?

We draw and the pig is given knighthood.

Throwing everything at them at the end, but getting done for the second is still better than just accepting the loss I say

 

[roy vernon]

Start with Garner in Midfield.

Bring in Armstrong in for Gueye, and swap his position with KDH.

Bring in George for McNeil and swap wings with Ndiaye.

Thought Gueye and Villa Tim were outstanding today mate, would have been the wrong decision to have left either of them out, I would normally agree with you about not shifting Garner to right back, however, I don't think Moyes had a better option today.

The second goal was irrelevant to all but those who care for damage limitation.

Moyes will be raging.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Feel sick. Deserved more. Pickford has been brilliant for us throughout the season but he died there. This is the Pickford rival teams think he is. Just didn't need to come for that. Sigh

KDH played the lot.

I remember Jonathan Pearce giving it the Everton have won it treatment even though there were a good ten minutes left to play.

 

[Nicodemus49]

Gutted. Losing to a Sunday league team.

 

[Pabbers]

We played really well again.

Unlucky in the end.

We are only going to get better, and need to be patient at times and not react and go mad.

Not sure it made any difference to the outcome.
