Match Thread Everton 0-1 Arsenal Sat 20th December @ 20:00

[Shibbywiggles]

We have no quality without Ndiaye and KDH and with what looked like a half fit Grealish and Garner having to play with nothing in front of him most of the game

That being said, we still should’ve had at least the second penalty on Barry. That is a foul even if Barry didn’t need to throw himself down

Horrid performance. Not a single shot. Embarassing

ye arsenal was boss to

 

[Zatara]

There’s no shame in losing to one of the best teams in the league. There’s no shame in being a bit all at sea without your best attacking players. I just wish we’d have thrown caution to the wind a bit.

I can understand a cagey start but once it’s clear that Arsenal aren’t at the races either, we should have been a lot braver. Would rather have been done by 2 or 3 than this.

You know Moyes...he'll keep the score down.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Useless... absolutely F useless.

Rubbish football. Arsenal did not need to come out of first gear.

 

[LiamMadrid]

The passing of all the Everton players was awful

 

[jazzy]

That Arsenal team were there for the taking and Moyes played for a point.

 

[ValBlue]

Calvert Lewin scored 2 I see

 

[Paul Rideout]

Anyone got an example of this kind of fouls being given in the box this season?

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

On the plus side, I see the Arse choking again.

 

[MikeyMike]

No depth in the squad, subs were sub standard.

Not really sure why we didn’t get a pen though

 

[Neiler]

Not great, take it on the chin.

Poxy goal, poxy performence by both teams, poxy game.

Theyl be delighted to get down the road with points.

Maybe we could have done more if we had a fully available squad - but no excuses we saw this coming.

Need to write off the last two - big points to play for Vs Burnley and Forest.

This period will separate the men from the boys.

Tim motm, honourable mention to Garner.

You know what, yes we lost, but there were some good things in there. Tim and Garner were immense, didn't miss Gana in there.

First half was passive, but we kept going and made life difficult for arsenal.

Plus, we are 10th at Christmas. When did that last happen?

My god.

Indeed. We can take being crap but that was a craphouse performance.

You watched a different game to me.

Honestly if we had even had a few shots or threatened at all I'd say a draw was fair. As it stands we well and truly deserved to lose

we didn’t


shows how IMPORTANT having five first teamers out
