Match Thread Arsenal v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Osamabindiesel]

It was a good game. Unfortunate as all hell really. Can’t be too mad with Digne missing and Walcott not available

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Oh and pickford is still garbage

 

[Tramps_mate]

Can't believe Arteta didn't shake Carlos hand!!!

 

[matty1878]

Worse things have happened lol

Still tho mate. Would of shown how far we’ve come so I expect us to whallop man united

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Frustrating this, but another day we'd have at least a point.

Yup

Give Ancelotti a pre season and a transfer window and we should hopefully be a much better side

There's positive signs, but a LOT of work still to do

 

[deipnosophist]

I feel our brave lion hearts succumbed to the pressure of expectation: as a fan base, we must learn to not put our brave lads under such pressure.

We were unlucky today, pushed Arsenal to the brink and had 4 clear chances we squandered. Positives to take from it even though the result is a punch in the gut. Europa league still a possibility but it's looking more and more unlikely.

 

[Fansince1988]

I have a lot of respect for Ancelotti, but we have not won at arsenal for 24 years and he starts Snides and Sigs (very bad call imo) after the subs we were much better but to little to late, missed chance today.

 

[Bebeto]

If only we had a striker like aubameyang...

 

[Billysgingham.]

If lewin takes one of the 4 good chances he had it's a good result.

 

[Archie Knox]

The lads just had a week off enjoying their luxury lifestyles yet far too many of them looking looked they'd rather have had an extended holiday rather than get back on the field. I'm looking specifically at Sigurdsson, Schneiderlin, Delph, Sidibe and Iwobi. If all 5 of them never played for us again I'd be made up.

 

[jayden28]

Can't defend and couldn't take our chances,got everything we derserved today.

 

[davek]

Arteta not shaking Ancelotti's hand there.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Surely by your own logic we just need better players? I don’t think there’s a witches curse on us

Our record down there and everywhere else away at the top 6 speaks for itself. Absolutely no doubt we need better quality players but to miss that many chances and conceded 3 silly goals against a dire Arsenal side screams of being cursed to me.

 

[Hickson9]

That's football folks.

On to the next one.
