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

[Khalekan]

For the second game in a row and much to my surprise, I am voting Dwight as MVP.

 

[PITA]

Yes and yes.

But he didn’t. And I’m not.

It’s not the final minute of an all or nothing game.

Exactly. It made no difference.

 

[Joey66]

Watching Graham last night he's clearly not ready yet. If you're comfortably ahead in a game or playing someone like Burnley or Wolves he'd probably be okay to bring on but against the champions elect who have physicality at their core Graham would get hustled out of the game easily

They fetched a 15 year old on ..

[Frenk]

My final thoughts on tonight…

We played really well and deserved at least a draw.

Terrible errors from Pickford cost us the game.

We move on.

Is that the way it’s always going to be though? I hope not.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

I very well may be a lunatic, but Christopher Galtier is someone I always liked, but I am certain there are other options better than Moyes.

McKenna, Potter, Iraola and even bringing back Marco Silva are all thoughts I’ve had.

You're an idiot then.

 

[StateSideToffee]

You're an idiot then.

I appreciate your insightful contribution to this nuanced and subjective discussion. Well done.

 

[preposterousvelios]

Are you ? Good for you. I'm not one of them.

I think tbh mate it's a nuanced issue, with good arguments for both replacing and keeping Moyes.

I don't think people are mad for wanting to keep Moyes, equally I don't think people should be ridiculed for wondering if we should make a change.

I appreciate the job he's done this season but truthfully other than the points on the board (which are admittedly the most important thing) I'm not seeing the things that I personally would like to be seeing. We've overachieved considering the actual quality of our performances and that's what I think Moyes gives you, but I still would like to see better performances.

Arsenal are the team set to win the league mind.

Oh yeh, definitely a massive gulf in ability on the ball as you'd expect. Take Ndiaye out of the team and it's really not great, hence constantly setting up to keep it tight and fluke a goal somehow.

Arsenal are the team set to win the league mind.

Not a truly great side though, I dont think. Got some quality players but as an attacking force - Saka has faded badly, Martinelli and Gyokeres just not very good. They have a great midfield and backline, but far from unbeatable imo.

Don't think we did ourselves any favours trying to sh!thouse a 1-0 win against this Arsenal team tbh, considering they're winning the league this season off the back of being the best at sh!thousing 1-0 wins themselves.

Beat two players before that, looks a generational talent to me, every time he plays he looks absolute class.

Shame he had his rooney moment against us

Who dived in on him and scored in a game they already won, in the 97th minute, with no goal keeper. If he hit it from the halfway line, you'd still get the same fap fest.

The bar between it and the Rooney goal are continents apart.

Generational talent and playing in a side which is dominating the ball is easier than bringing Graham on and the game passing him by as we wouldn't of been able to bring him into the game at all

 

[Swartzy]

It is a long time since I have been as angry after a match as what I am tonight

I thought I was past all this.

Why ?

Dowman is a generational talent for sure, anyone who's seen him play knows this

 

[spudmuncher]

Pointless pickford going up for the last corner, not the most imposing figure even when he can use his hands ... garners corner was crap as well ... if the keeper is gonna go up u have to beat the first man

True but that cross was unfortunately the breakthrough they never looked like creating- we needed a first half lead we deserved....
DM can only play one half of football all season ....
