Match reaction vs Everton

[The Wengerbabies]

Pathetic.

Title race was nice while it lasted.

Arteta out.

I'm giving up with football again.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Ramsdale 7 - But for him the embarrassment would have been even worse


White 5 - Once again like against United proved to be inadequate


Saliba 6 - Generally solid


Gabriel 6 - Few errors in possession, looked a bit nervous but on the whole ok


Zinchenko 2 - A left back who doesn’t understand what a left back does


Partey 5 - As poor as he was against United, people keep saying his thing is playing through the press but so often the press leads him to shitting the bed.


Xhaka 2 - Waste of good oxygen


Odegaard 2 - Limp wristed pansy


Martinelli 4 - Totally isolated so little point even giving him a grade


Saka 6 - Lacked composure at times but our only decent attacking outlet for two thirds of the game


Nketiah 3 - Did nothing apart from fluff a good chance


Trossard 6 - Came on too late to really make the difference


Jorginho 4 - Another fairy


Vieira 2 - What’s the point of him?


Tomoyasu - can’t be bothered to give him a score

Trossard came on with half an hour and to be fair did his bit to try to make something happen.

I'd give him, Gabriel and Saliba each a 7 but otherwise agree with your scores

Just hoping this game will bust the Zinchenko myth a bit, all the hero-worship's been getting on my nerves

It’s fine to be wise after the event but i think with the power of hindsight we should have started him

[Letters]

Aye, now we are 5 points clear with no game in hand. No chance.



Awful result and performance but you’re going to get days like this.

Need to get going again next game.

Always said it. We are in a race for fourth place. Nothing else.

Always said it. We are in a race for fourth place. Nothing else.

And you were always wrong and continue to be.
Top 4 was certainly my target pre-season but this isn't a side who are going to be scrapping for 4th place like we were last year.
We're 8 points clear of 3rd place with a game in hand, we're 14 points of 5th place with a game in hand.

We've 18 games to play = 54 points. In that context dropping 14 points isn't completely impossible - we dropped 9 in just three games last season.

That said, I realise it's only 14 points if spuds won all their remaining games, which i admit is extremely unlikely, but still, having seen the collapse last season I'm just not ready to say we're comfortably in top four yet, when it gets to 10 games to go, then sure.

I personally think we will finish at worst 3rd place. If we forget about the title for one minute, our home form alone this season should see us through to a 3rd place finish minimum, we have been excellent at home this season and apart from City, I don't see any team capable of winning at the Emirates for our remaining fixtures. I think our home form is key to any outcome for the remainder of the season. Away from home we are obviously very strong this season but we may well see further slip ups like yesterday.

In the chasing pack below us, aside from City, I don't really see any other side strong enough to catch us up, United is a possibility as they are decent side now and are picking up plenty of wins. Newcastle and the rest I believe we will finish above.

[Marc Overmars]

Top 4 is not a concern, it would be a disaster beyond repair if we missed out from this position now. Football isn’t played on paper and we will possibly drop more points unexpectedly but also win games that we perhaps didn’t expect to either.

I know it’s been a very long time since we had a go at the title but dealing with this angst is something we just have accept as part of the territory. Not a time to overreact after our first real stinker of a result this season.
