Freddie with a 'fuck it' mentality. :haha:

With Xhaka and Luiz back in it's 'fuck the fans' more like... :(

[Mac76]

Leaving Pepe on the bench is outrageous as well, he's been one of our better players lately

And Ozil nowhere to be seen...

[Marc Overmars]

And Ozil nowhere to be seen...

The sky is blue and the grass is green.

[Marc Overmars]

Looks like Steve Round will be Arteta’s assistant.

He was Moyes’ number 2 at Neverton and United...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The sky is blue and the grass is green.

Foot injury. After belting his glove.

[Thierrymon]

Mental line up from us. The injuries at left back havent helped but still odd.

[Globalgunner]

Freddie tossing a stink bomb iin the room before leaving

[Mac76]

dodgy backpass from luiz in the first 10 seconds :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torreira helps Calvert-Lewin wipe out Digne. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful pass from Torreira.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hit it Nelson!

Martinelli. :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi's hamstring. :rose:

[dostoy]

LUIZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mustafi on the bench.

OMG we might see ................. , no forget it.

Freddie must want to lose with that line up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done David Luiz there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi had a point to prove apparently. :lol:

I think he has tbf.

Cenk Tosun on for him.

[Mac76]

Iwobi :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tosun. :haha:

Souvenir for Ancelotti there.

[AFC Leveller]

Early days yet but it looks like the players are doing a lot more running and pressing than usual.

[Thierrymon]

pls dont be hurt martinelli

[AFC Leveller]

Martinelli dead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli. :(

Sidibe should be off hurting our beautiful boy.

[Thierrymon]

Pretty much all Everton so far. We have had a couple of breaks but not much else.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka closed down well after initially being exposed to deny Richarlison.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sigurdsson freekick, the shit net colour made me think it was in.

[AFC Leveller]

Luiz can’t help himself. Such a clown.

[Thierrymon]

David Luiz is just a calamity. Terrible touches, clumsy tackles. All over the shop.

[Marc Overmars]

Luiz is a parody of himself.

[Mac76]

Luiz wants to get sent off i think

[Marc Overmars]

Our attacking play is so dire.

Oh for those days of creating 20 chances a match. :(

[Globalgunner]

Our CBs will gladly spend the full 90 mins passing the ball between themselves. No clue how to build up play

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka booked.

[Globalgunner]

David Luiz is just a calamity. Terrible touches, clumsy tackles. All over the shop.

Worst Brazilian since Andre Santos

[AFC Leveller]

Worst Brazilian since Andre Santos

Who had replaced Denilson, one of the worst players to come out of Brazil.

[Mac76]

Smith Rowe's just completely lost and we're really missing Pepe

[Thierrymon]

Well the one positive so far is that we are at least showing a bit of fight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Not much really, just a stamp".

Steve McManaman.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka hooks it out of play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Digne opened up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is terrible from both teams. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cross from Richarlison, easy for Leno.

[AFC Leveller]

We’ve contained them and have definitely shown more fight and intensity but we haven’t had any shots in goal. I guess progress will take time but we’d be losing this on another day.

[Thierrymon]

We have nothing linking the midfield to the attack. Story of the season. Cant create any chances for our attackers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good clearance from Tosun.

[Thierrymon]

Martinelli with our first shot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli skews the shot wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Davies booked.

[Mac76]

martinelli :rolleyes:

[Marc Overmars]

Pound for pound, the 2 worst teams in the league.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

Woeful. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Arsenal firing blanks. Toffees stuck in treacle.

[Mac76]

:tumbleweed:


Ancellotti :pal:

Arteta :pal:

[Xhaka Can’t]

I may spend half-time consulting a thesaurus for different words for ‘poor’.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Imagine telling someone new to football these two clubs have 22 league titles between them. :lol:

[dostoy]

Martinelli. :(

Sidibe should be off hurting our beautiful boy.

I see, I never realised before.

That explains a lot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I see, I never realised before.

That explains a lot.

What?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Mac76]

great Xhaka pass to Pickford

[Thierrymon]

Auba comes close.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good run Saka.

[Marc Overmars]

Auba has to bury those.

[Thierrymon]

Good anticipation there from Xhaka to prevent the counter attack. I think he has been our best player today.

[Marc Overmars]

No conviction in anything we do.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weak shot from Auba.

[Globalgunner]

No conviction in anything we do.

Best player in both teams is the keeper so far

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tosun. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Nelson and Saka don’t really have much guile. Always try and fail to take on their man.

[Mac76]

Neverton are so shit we really should win this - just one good chance needed for Auba

[Marc Overmars]

Neverton are so shit we really should win this

They’re probably thinking exactly the same about us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smith Rowe off, Willock on.

[Thierrymon]

Everton go close after some ping pong in our box. First thing they have created this half.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chaos in our area. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delph off, Keane on. :unsure:

[Marc Overmars]

This is one of the worst games I’ve ever seen.

Barely even a nugget of quality.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sigurdsson booked.

[Mac76]

surely worth bringing Laca on for the last 15 mins just to see if he can create or score one

[Bumble]

Everyone still awake

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba off, Lacazette on.

:unsure:

[Thierrymon]

Everton are here for the taking if we can get that quality in the final third.

[Mac76]

surely worth bringing Laca on for the last 15 mins just to see if he can create or score one

ahem ;)

wasn't anticipating Auba coming off though...

[Marc Overmars]

Big Dunc subbing the sub again. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cenk Tosun the sub, subbed off. Kean on.

Big Dunc's trademark. :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

This is way better at inducing sleep than Headspace

[Thierrymon]

Martinellis shot so far over the bar the ball came back down with snow on it.

[Marc Overmars]

No movement once we work our way into promising areas of the pitch. No one wants the ball.

[Thierrymon]

Nelson has been poor. Surely a sub for Pepe would make sense

[Thierrymon]

Chambers giving a stupid freekick away in a dangeruos area.

[Mac76]

davies :haha:

[Globalgunner]

We stupidly keep passing out from the back when we are so crap at it. 1st touch of a herd of elephants

[AFC Leveller]

Martinelli our best player by a mile. Such a hardworking player.

[Mac76]

shit ball from xhaka broke up our attack

[Globalgunner]

Only way is up for these 2 shit teams.....I think

[Marc Overmars]

That was about as dire as it gets.

[AFC Leveller]

Solid point and a much better performance than the recent ones.

I’m excited to see what Arteta can do, even though we looked like we had no idea how to attack.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT. One of the worst matches of all time.

[Thierrymon]

Fergusson strutting around like a maniac at the end of a dour 0-0 draw.

[Marc Overmars]

Freddie. :bow:

Still a legend. Shame about the utter shit he’s been working with.

[Mac76]

Freddie clearly thinking 'thank fcuk it's not me managing this lot anymore' :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

5 wins out of 18. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

I needed that nap. On with the day.

[Letters]

Clean sheet :bow:
