As others have said, that Ramsey goal was absolutely criminal. Poor, poor attitude.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Costa vs Distin

Oh dear...

 

[davek]

You are right, we're just not fit enough

I said before the game mate that battle readiness would settle it. It sort of did in the end without totally settling it.

We are bottling matches here.

Howard didnt look great either. Was an easy cross to collect. Howard is useless on crosses.

I noticed he didn't come out for one all game.

 

[ianefc]

Absolutely terrible way to throw away a game that. Fuming. We need to beat Chelsea now, no excuses.

Behave, there is no chance of that what so ever

 

[Professor Toffee]

Naismith - MOM. Faults by Distin and Osman gave them two goals. Gutted

Absolutely agree with motm

 

[Del]

Our own fault. 100%.
We constantly kept passing to an Arsenal shirt. Final ten minutes, you're 2-0 up, keep it nice and simple, see the game out, we couldnt even do that. Misplaced passes all over the place. F off.

That's because there un fit

The passed it around at ease for 60 mins then they hit a wall chasing down the arsenal players

There legs/heads had gone and they started making mistakes that were not there in those first 60

I really don't think it was fitness. I think it was thinking we could spend the whole 2nd half sitting back and defending a two goal lead against Arsenal. All it takes is one goal and the opposition are back in it. A questionable plan against any team. But Arsenal?

That is fitness. Getting tired so early so just falling back rather than pressing them just a bit at least.

 

[Del]

Behave, there is no chance of that what so ever

I know

When's the last time we beat Chelsea at Goodison ffs

 

[toffeejack]

at least you hope we'll be fit as a fiddle going into the business end of the season, our rivals who look sharper now, may be sluggish towards the finish line - i think the quality of football so far this season in the prem shows that the season should be put back a few weeks in a world cup year.


some of the best players in the prem on the pitch today and there was very little quality on show.

 

[CrabbyPaddy]

doesn't help when your gaffer is away moonlighting for four weeks

Completely agree mate.

 

[LocalNative]

haha everton that.

(if I don't find humour in this i'll do bad things)

 

[mccole]

We played them off the park but for the 2nd game running Roberto's subs cost us.

Changes for players who worked their d#cks off, McGeady should be much much better in that situation but just panicked and Atsu was wasted.

Stones or Besic should've come on just to help the back four.

 

[marty mcfly]

roberto's absolute refusal to disrupt barry and mccarthy has cost us again here, he didn't even have to bring onew of them off, just add to it with besic

I know.

And both games you could see we where hanging on and he brought on wingers to get a 3rd instead of bringing on another defensive midfielder to close the game out.

FFS Osman looked dead, could he not have swapped him for Besic.

I'm raging.

 

[eurosrees]

Anyone else rather have got twatted 6-1? I feel absolutely sick with that complete collapse
