Match Reaction Arsenal 2-0 Everton

[Letters]

4 points off the 2nd place trophy

I found it a bit of a frustrating performance, we didn't keep the ball well and moved the ball forward far too slowly. There were flashes of quality though, I thought we mostly defended well. Ospina did well to improvise with the flap and tackle after the bad backpass although did make a mess of one later on when he conceded a corner from a shot he should have held. Gabriel made an outstanding tackle in the first half. Overall, a very important 3 points with other results.

You said flap and tackle

Sanchez was pretty poor by his standards.

Been off the boil for a while now. Work rate is still there but it's entering headless chicken territory at the moment.

[AFC Leveller]

Difference between Gabriel and Merts is already telling. the latter is slow, extremly uncomfortable on the ball and ducks headers (and shots, see MOnaco's first goal where he turned his back instead of facing it) where as the former looks athletic, quick, aggressive and a proper defender.

[Injury Time]

Thank fuck for that.

Massive win today, really important. Top 4 is going to be a real battle, I don't like the fact we still have to play United Away & Liverpool at Home but if we have to do it the hard way so be it.

He said tackle twice which I think is revealing.

Theres no need to get in a flap over it.

I think I'll withdraw before this gets messy.
