Everton v Arsenal Match Reaction

[LDG]

i've been watching the wigan/city game which has been pretty good.

honestly, what was this like?

apart from the obvious 'shit', 'dull' comments etc.

If we had beaten Villa like we should have done if we'd applied ourselves, a draw here would be a decent result.

But we put pressure on ourselves here.

It was a scrappy match, and we were a bit lucky Everton were shit up top, as they had us under the kosh for large parts

I don't like getting at players, but I've never been so infuriated with the persistence in playing one player when he constantly mucks up. Ramsey is awful.

I would've been happy with this result had we beaten Villa.

We're not playing very well, at all. Hopefully Wenger does something in January (lol).

He will, He's going to sell Theo

a point at everton is a good result given current climate. we havnt been in the best of form, and a hard earned point at everton is good. a win would have been better and was needed but those expecting us to go to everton and thrash them were deluded. lets not forget, united lost there this year!

with the game itself, i think the loss of koscienly threw us a little bit, i dont think gibbs is quite match fit yet and can see why he didnt start. though it was nice for once to be able to bring on a first choice defender for a first choice from the bench. ramsey on played ok i though, never hid from the game even when made mistakes. sagna made a couple but recovered well from them. theo was very good, giroud didnt get the service but still worked hard.

overall i thought it was a good performance in terms of effort and work rate, just the final product was missing. i can see why wenger brought on coqualin for santi, although am sure he will be critized for it but at that time, it made sense to bring on a dm to help as everton were breaking quickly and santi was not great and tired. a point at everton is a good result, however compared to recent results it makes it look worse then it is. not many top teams will win there but we have to start picking up points elsewhere. two home games now, two must wins.

You should write for Arsenal.com.

Seriously.

Oh look...RvP wins the Mancs another 3 points - put some spin on that.

It sounds like Arteta had an average game at best to continue a poor run of form. I think everyone called this or an injury before the season started. Yet as well we only have Coquelin who can play there. It's a position we are predictably worried about rotating.

[Marc Overmars]

This is the worst start for a bloody long time! You can't even call it the start anymore!

Yep, over a third of the way through now. If the next 14 games go the same way we'll be languishing in midtable for sure.

We've got to go on a winning run in December, the fixtures don't look too bad but then we struggle against anyone these days.

cheers. i feel lucky i gave up my season ticket this season.

for the first time i've said we'll finish fifth and it's looking like that at best so far. we are not creating or scoring enough and it seems all too easy for the opposition to neuter our game.

[Maestro]

We desperately could have done with 3 points here, nothing is very sure anymore and we now have less and less games to start racking up some points.

We could be in trouble if something doesn't change soon

[Cripps_orig]

Completely outplayed as expected. Theo our best player as expected. Drawing was completely unexpected though. Quite pleased. We should get top 6
