This is exactly the opposite of what I was saying 'Everton need to take advantage of being on tv so often in the US'.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Okay...

 

[banno]

Arsenal are just too clever. There movement on and off the ball is just too clever for us. We are not the cleverest team with or without possession. Arsenal are crisp and don't need more than a second to pass whereas we have all our players looking up for a pass making play slow. Off the ball Arsenal have our players in there sights and we just let Arsenal drop off into space to collect. We ball watch when we should be player watching. We are not a clever team and Arsenal showing us a master class in technique, movement and guile.

You can all whinge as much as you want about Martinez, but I tell you what.

I don't care who the manager is, if you put that blue shirt on, you run your ass off. No excuses.

 

[The Equaliser]

So not enjoyable this.

Everton have let in more goals than Villa at home only for the points we have taken away from home we would be right down there with them
We beat Chelsea in the cup and get deluded we can beat anyone what a load of sh!te

 

[paulus]

But whole team is standing and wwatcing most of the time , like we pass in FA we can play like [Poor language removed] now

 

[Azza]

Funes Mori going off for Stones?

 

[dandydan]

Get niasse on ffs!

 

[Sideliner]

Everton looks lost at both ends of the pitch and absent in the middle

 

[Tubey]

So arsenal have been beaten in their last games by teams that press and rush them

We beat Chelsea by pressing high and fighting for every ball

Genius decides to employ a tactic of watching arsenal pass it round for fun.

Tit

Absolutely this.

But how predictable was it that this would happen? Seriously clueless.

Still though, "what a manager".

 

[ToffeeTim]

Can't believe how shocking that was. That challenge from besic.... like how bad was that.

And how unfit does baines look. Absoutely unacceptable. Do we practice defending or even work on our fitness. Unacceptable

 

[Ashtonian]

I don't think we are actually playing that badly. Arsenal have had 2 clear cut chances and scored both. Thats it.

They aren't tearing us apart as the BT coverage would have you believe.

They showed the possession stat for the first 15 minutes which was 42/58 to Arsenal... we started controlling the game and possession afterr that, funnily enough that stat criteria didn't show up again.

We are still in this. I like Cleverley but he's no use to us on the left.

Arsenal have had chances though mate, more than we are creating. We are losing the ball nowhere near their box, can't score at the half way line.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

people fuming cause we are losing against arsenal.. jeez. Get a grip.

Who have only won 2 of their last 9 premier league games, dumped out of the fa cup at the Emirates by Watford last week, knocked out of the Champions league, and played on Wednesday night.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Wow, how easy was that 2nd goal, one pass, straight run in at our keeper.
