He also has the bad knack of giving the ball away which then ALWAYS leads to a goal
Other players do lose the ball, but whenever he does, it has always led to a goal

I think if we'd have drawn that game people would reflect differently on that performance. We have had some luck on our side this season.I don't think we played particularly well, didn't really create much in terms of clear cut chances. 2 excellent deliveries though from Ozil and Cazorla were enough.
We defended well but I thought we lost a bit of control towards the end, but I suppose when there's only 1 goal in it that's to be expected when the other team go for it.
A solid 3 points. You can't blitz everyone.
On we go.
Sure but you need a bit of luck as well if you're going to be successful. Just enjoy it while it's here, it won't be long before things begin to transpire against us and questions are asked again.
Can't be arsed dwelling on what could have gone wrong when we're top of the league and on a hot streak.
^^ When Lukaku hit the bar
Considering we also hit the woodwork twice ourselves and had a host of other closes attempts I think Everton would have been much more lucky to come away with something than us getting the three points. That Lukaku crossbar header and the Cech save at the end were the only clear cut chances they created all match.
It was a fully deserved win on balance, just not a comfortable one.
By the way, did anyone catch Gabriel's fantastic tackle near the end and his reaction to it? Celebrated like he'd scored a goal.
I fucking love Gabriel's passion and attitude. Quickly becoming one of my favourite players in the squad.

The problem with Ox is the same problem Ramsey had four years ago.
It's about decision making. He just needs experience, and to curb the urge to do everything pounding forward directly towards goal (though it's nice to have someone who, at last, wants to be direct).
He needs to learn that sometimes, ball retention is the best option.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Great moment and shows why I think he'll be a really solid cb for us. Seems to love defending and has a fiery side.
Ox just needs to relax like Wenger says. With out injured he should get to start a couple more games at least. He had a rubbish game but he's still very young. Has a lot to learn and that was his first start in ages so won't be so hard on him. This always happens. It's funny because a lot of folks that would hammer away at Theo would say Ox was way ahead of him in terms of development and now it's Ox getting hammered. We just need to relax a little. He'll learn from his mistakes.
Arsenal
Only saw the highlights but it looked like a more comfortable win than the scoreline suggests, Everton's goal was a lucky deflection, we hit the bar at least twice and had other chances. Everton scraped the bar once too and they had a late chance but Cech did his job - he's increasingly looking like a very important signing, one could argue he got us another 2 points yesterday and things like that add up over a season.
Looking like genuine challengers right now, long may it continue.
