Toffees (A) - Top 4 Trophy, Six Pointer Match Thread

[King Henry]

So he doesn't play Chamberlain then puts Santi on the right and Rosicky in the middle

[wilko49er]

Shit defending.

[rodders999]

Watching Giroud trying to run is fucking embarrassing

[LeftfootlegendGooner]

Why wasn't that coward of a player naismith booked for that dirty tackle too earlier, that piece of play that led to the goal wouldn't have happened if the ref did his fuckin job

[madjens]

Really disappointing how the players are letting Wenger down for his 1003rd game.

So you're saying we conceded from our own free kick in the middle of the pitch and it was the refs fault for not booking the player?

[Gunner Rob]

17 consecutive years of Champions League money and we have Bellerin, Sanogo and Kallstrom on the bench...

[nut flush gooner]

Very good point about the Ox we are getting arse raped down the left, this isnt a game for luxury players.

[King Henry]

Might as well just bring Ramsey on so he can get injured again and miss the rest of the season

[rodders999]

Ox should be on for Cazorla but Le Gimp doesn't do substitutions until the 70th minute

[officepest]

Someone should try to explain to Wenger the folly of allowing our full backs to become isolated beacuse, you know, it happens every bloody game.

Cannot allow the oppo to continually get at us down the flanks when our midfield offer no protection at all.

Imagine what it would be if we didn't have the Champions Lg to attract top quality players!

[Dan_85]

My stream is pretty laggy. Probably for the best...

No what I said was that If the ref had booked him which he should have then that passage of play would never had happened, not hard to understand is it really

Fuck me the way the commentators are declaring how every Everton players has had a wonderful season you'd think they must be about 15 points clear at the top of the league. Any other club would be lambasted for moronic behaviour like booing a player who gave them such phenomenal service and dedication as Arteta. Unfortunately it's clearly one of those games where the ref is giving them carte blanche to foul as much as they want and will only warn a player after a 4th cynical foul, and Naismith getting away with that cowardly dreadful tackle was a disgrace. Not that we're helping ourselves with our typical constant moaning.

We've been unsurprisingly at sixes and sevens at the back. Every time they get a runner in behind there's nobody tracking and we're panicking. Leighton Baines bombing forward, who would have thought it? I've got a good idea, let's put Cazorla out wide left - this will ensure he doesn't get tracked properly but that Cazorla still plays too deep to do much going forward. Typical sleepwalking from Monreal for the goal, and typical Arsenal for the ball to go from Howard hacking it away under pressure to the back of our net in probably under 10 seconds.

You just cannot see where the goal is going to come from. It's all playing 40 yards out from goal, Giroud would be isolated enough as it is without him turning his back and hiding behind defenders before losing the ball if it actually comes to him. Defensively they are not all they're cracked up to be and we're more than capable of pulling them around and exploiting holes with the talent in our side, but we just don't look like it and we're lucky it's only 1-0.
