Match Thread Everton 1-1 Arsenal. Sat April 5th. 12.30pm

[Bwana]

Very generous of Everton to offer a gentle training session to Arsenal ahead of their game against Real.

We have to compensate PGMOL/VAR from Wednesday. Besides, it's Arteta.

 

[lungo]

The players look knackered.

Yeah 2 games in 3 weeks is a lot!

 

[ToffeeTim]

I won't accept any Everton manager parking 11 behind the ball at home, be it Moyes, Dyche or whoever. It's not ok to set up like that against an extremely average Arsenal side.

 

[preposterousvelios]

Avoiding relegation has been the motivating factor for this team the last few years. Since becoming comfortably safe we just look like we've been missing 10%

We need alcaraz Mcneil and Garner for doucure harrison and tim

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

None of our players seem to want it under pressure except N'Diaye. The Arsenal players are very quick to close them down and get tight, but they're not even putting a foot in or fouling, our lads are just bottling it under the pressure. Need Alcaraz and McNeil on.

These players are on holiday already

Its a bottom half of the table team no matter the manager.

Amazes me people still post about the squad not actually being that bad. We are on the verge of absolutely nothing with this group of players. A huge job on our hands to get us up to mid table next season.

 

[Taifi gorm]

Doucoure coming on for the second half.

 

[Zatara]

Pathetic team selection.
Negative attitude.
Giving chances away.

Yes, thats a David Moyes team against a top 4 side.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

4 v 2 for the goal.
Nevermind the earlier mix up

 

[Frenk]

They feel safe, they’ve gone on holiday. Show them the door.

 

[banno]

Doucs and Harrison are becoming nothing players and with a rusty Ndiaye, Tim and Patterson it is just compounding the issue.
Good for them to shake of the rustiness but with so many of them it doesn't help us gel

Dont think anyone has posted anything like this.

What people have posted is that the team selection was poor.

 

[Mr PEN86]

We`ve been terrible for quite a few games now.... last decent performance at home was against Leicester 10 games ago.

Think we were decent v the RS but agree generally, it's not been good viewing
