Barkley was shocking today, kept giving the ball away, we should have won 4 or 5 nil but for misplace pass here and there. Howard needs gone again but we all know this. Shame Mirallas missed the 1 on 1

He was good in the first half, passing let him down but he made some lovely turns and driving runs.
 
arsenal fan here and first time poster. just some thoughts on the everton and the match:
1) thought this wasn't their best game. some individual pieces of brilliance but felt they weren't as fluid and energetic as usual today. organization was really quite poor and stones was not his best. midfield was bypassed for most of the second half and lukaku was well-contained by chelsea.
2) that mirallas goal ... wow! always liked him and wonder why he doesnt get more playing time. not the most disciplined player but very good.
3) poor oviedo. the guy cant catch a break. i like him too. on the other side, baines was brilliant today. great defending and offensive outlet.
4) the ending: really poor refereeing. i would've been fuming if that happened to us but you also cant help but criticize the team shape again. two matches in 1 week where ive been so disappointed by poor defending leading to a last minute equalizer.
5) i generaly like RM. He's improved the quality and style of play to no end and recruited very well. the squad is good enough for top 4 i think and i really wish you get there but the game management and collective shape/discipline really need to improve. trust me, as an arsenal fan i can appreciate the frustration that comes with that.

i apologize for the length of my post and any typos as im using a frustrating touch screen to poste this.
 
The things that annoy me is the fact few teams cause is problems we cause them ourselves, it's indivudual errors such as Ross' s sloppy play leading to the goal, Jags and Howard doing neither one thing or the other and Geri losing the ball near the end
Having a very weak ref didn't help either and you see the difference a top class keeper makes in getting 3 points or 1
 
everton score 3rd on 89.59,play restarts on 91.19, [ 7mins are added on spot on 90 mins],chelsea score on 97.53,play restarts on 98.58,ref blows on 99.06,plus del trys to take last chelsea player on, on 97.23 secs instead of hitting long,or passing to one of the 2 everton players to the left,gets caught,it goes to chelsea throw which ends in the end for there goal,having just watched it again,anyway,its never dull watching us [most of the time]
 
RM says the players would learn from the Bournemoth game. They clearly havent. Bad decision aside, which I put more down to linesman than ref, we did not kill the game in a professional manner. (Again)

Some of this pain we all all feeling is self inflicted, totally avoidable and we could have taken the officials out of the equation.

However, we are left with a mix bag of blame.
