Everton V Arsenal, 23rd August, 17:30

Once again our in game management comes up short.

I realise we're coming of the back of Bestikas but we always look like we go into these matches without any sort of plan.

Er I saw him shooting at every opportunity. And that's what hasn't helped.

Are you being serious? He's looked to shoot at every opportunity.

I mean, honestly, were you even watching?

We've been sloppy and useless in the final third, but a succession of decisions going against you doesn't help. You can recover from a shit half, but the officials making it two or three times harder is almost insurmountable for any team.

It will even itself up though when Ozil is sent off for taking a corner from the correct position.

We can't blame the officials for everything! We've been shit!

He's been shooting wildly everywhere ad giving the ball away.

That's the very antithesis of a Wenger player.

Who's blaming them for everything?

Yeah I may have overreacted with that Ox comment.

But watching these replays it's clear what's costing us defensively.

The midfield 3 is NOT BALANCED one fucking bit. Wilshere does not want to play deep, Ramsey shouldn't play deep and Flamini is only adequate. You can't leave a defender lacking pace, a rookie and a ho-hum midfielder as your only defenders. It's pathetic. What this team could do with a Khedira in Wilshere's role, providing more balance.

Fucking refs are to blame for everything tbh

Cunts

Every game is different. Very frustrating to concede the offside goal. But we look like we can concede each time they counter attack.

Why do we seem to commit so many players forward all the time. There is plenty of time to score, don't over commit.

If we score next we won't lose as I reckon we get one we will get at least a second.

Khedira wanted 51% of the shares in the club to come here. We said no. Like that woman who Robin was dating.
