Everton v Arsenal.. Match Report & MotM Poll

[windymiller]

Vlasic for me, I know he faded but before that he was the only player taking it to them. If the other midfielders and forwards had his attitude we wouldn't be in this message.

Pickford was very good.

Everyone else was garbage.

Whilst we were woeful and the referee let Sanchez get away repeatedly with standing over our free kicks and other elements of Gooner gamesmanship, let's be honest, they battered us today.
Some if not most of their movement, one touch passing, pace and finishing was actually a joy to watch... if only it hadn't been us on the receiving end of it.

Typical gooner diving, crying, feigning, ref surrounding arsemanship.

Horrible snide team full of primadonnas and arrogant overpaid pussies.

At least teh weekend wasn't ruined till at least 3/4 through. Would have prefered the 4PM kick off but you have to accentuate the positive,

Felt all sorts of emotions going to the match and watching everton. Agony and ecstasy. But today was the first time I felt hopeless, just completely void of anything. Was really quite painful to watch.

Arsenal were superb, but why is it everyone that we play this season seem to outplay us? I don't even know if changing the manager will help anything, and that just adds to the despondency. Proper grim

What is upsetting atm is that we actually have the players who potentially have the skill to play like that (OK, maybe not at the level of Ozil/Sanchez at their world-class best) but those players do not trust themselves or each other to play in that way. And then we have players who are declining rapidly, despite their service to the club, (Jagielka, Baines) and others who just seem to be playing for themselves and disrupting any team shape or discipline (Rooney, Williams). That's actually why, if we do get rid of Koemann (which I'm on the fence about for various reasons), I would rather have an Unsworth than an Ancelotti (for example) so that at least we have a disciplined basis and an understanding of team play to work on.

BK: What's the plan to beat Arsenal today Ronald?
RK: We're going to match them up like for like, play the same system as them and see what happens.
BK: What even though they play that system every week and have better players than us?
RK: Yes
BK: And has that idea worked for us before?
RK No not really but ok, that's football.

Spineless.

I'm fed up voting for Pickford.

You've said it all for me. And the referee let them get away with it.

 

[Azza]

30 shots!!!!


City didn't have that many against Stoke when they scored 5.


City didn't even have that many against Palace when they scored 7!!!!




30 shots against us!!!!

 

[Blackwell Livermore]

Haha. Almost. One fella took exception to the choice language used by another to display his disgust at our manager cos there were kids about. First time I've seen it kick off between Blues at the game.

Potty mouth, are you reading this?

 

[devogue]

I think Koeman is a top class manager and it is some of the players to carry most of the blame. I have no doubt he will win things with the next club he goes to. I think there is something very wrong with the club in general (and has been since 2nd season Martinez). It is sad to see what I think is a top quality manager leave us.

???

 

[hktoffee]

None. All of them had given up.

The defence line was high up after we went 2-1 down with the idiot got sending off. It was like watching Martinez’s Everton defence which was non-existence. What a disgrace.

Something need to be done here. This is scary.

 

[zandvoort blue]

Awful

Sack him now
Unsworth in for Chelsea
