Match Thread Everton v Arsenal - Barely a preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Toffeeback]

This is the thing. The players available to Dyche exceed what Lampard and Benitez had and they were both , yet a Dyche is doing even worse. Do not understand our fans' love in with him.

This is every bit as bad as the dreck served up by Allardyce, Benitez, and Lampard absolutely 100%.

Jeez!!! This is a team who should have won the title last season! Did we expect anything else? There are far better games from which we should pick up points in the next 31 games...

So we just roll over and get our balls tickled?

We were pathetic.
Again.

 

[Blue peter]

I fear for the confidence levels as well now….it could very well become a self fulfilling prophecy, if we play like a team generally without confidence, but this is in the club (not just Dyche) for losing at home to Wolves and Fulham

 

[bluerobert]

Having strikers and wingers makes absolutely no difference if you don’t have a midfield to control the game

 

[gonetomorrow]

It's going to be another long haul this year.

 

[Ivo]

Only one team tried to win that game. Can't stand them but arsenal deserved the three points.

 

[T LEAFE]

No positives from that despite playing a much better team
Woeful in possession

Hey if that's an option I may start going the game again

Don't big up Arsenal too much,Fulham drew there,also the back end of last season Southampton were leading 3-1 there with minutes to go and Brighton won 3-0 there. They are no City or Liverpool.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Talentless, woeful squad with a large pinch of Shytehousery. The greatest manager in the world ain't getting a tune out of that lot !!!

Are you saying no coach in the world can do better than Dyche? Dyche who couldn`t get a PL job Dyche?

Are you serious, do you even watch football or know anything.....

WHATSOEVER!

 

[ForestBlue]

Thoroughly depressing.

The only way this team stays up is if all promoted teams gets less than 30 points.

I dont see us getting to 20 at the current rate .. absolute certs for relegation if this carries on.

Can't change the players and no budget in Jan to do anything significant unless a takeover happens before then and the new owners have a substantial pot.

To win games you need to attack occasionally and we never do.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

The gulf in players was massive.
Did well to keep it one nil and at least kept points possible.
Added time was ridiculous, clearly now another tool to get the right result.
Mykolenko man of the match.

 

[COYBL25]

We weren't battered but couldn't lay a glove on them today.

I'm convinced that it will turn in our direction soon now that we've got some players back, McNeil, DCL and we'll get that bit of luck required.

An earlier poster is right that there are some v.poor teams around us and we'll stay up.

Not if our only tactic is to aimlessly lob the ball upfield and hope for the best.

Okay, we haven’t got a playmaker, but you can‘t just play hit and hope football at this level and expect to win games.

We’re not exactly a hard team to set up against.

Swerve the game and head to mine.
Sure we can sort something.
