Everton FA Cup

[clockender1]

Why does our defence never pick up runners coming through ?

1-1 cracking game so far.

Per left his man and let him get goal side.

Zonal marking confusion again probably.

[StuartL]

We have had loads of corners and not one has looked even remotely dangerous

Our terrible habit of passing backwards all too often almost cost us then Ox made amends for his mistake.

[clockender1]

Great tracking back n tackle from Ox there.

Chamberlain is vacillating between World star and pub level player.

[officepest]

'Keeper looks more flappy than Flappy but we haven't worked him enough, especially on corners.

[Kvltman]

Need to target their keeper, he is dodgy as anything, make more of those corners count!

Very disappointing goal to concede. The Ox been excellent apart from his brain fart that nearly led to another goal for them!

[g60gooner]

Any manager worth his salt would tell them to get at the goalkeeper in the second half. Absolutely dodgy as.

We will probably be looking to snap him up as Flappys replacement in the summer.

[northbank123]

The pressing has gone from our game completely. We are too content to sit deep and let them have the ball 30-40 yards from goal. Granted you can't play at 100% tempo for 90 minutes but we should still be pressing them higher, they're getting so many men past the ball they'll be in deep trouble if we nick it from them.

We needed half-time, need to start playing how we were minutes 5 to 30. It was the sort of fluid fast football that has completely deserted us the last few months but since they scored the inhibition and negativity has come back in.

[wibble]

Good game so far-no tippy tappy nonsense, look good going forward and everton a real threat on the break.
Arteta looking to get game going forward more than usual.

As others have said their keeper looks shit-get at him in second half.

[Chippy]

Thank god Lukaku is a selfish mofo. I hate it when we score early, but it looked like we were keeping up the momentum until we got suckered.

Have a feeling it will be a draw from now, unless there is a tactical master-stroke/substitution from Wonga!

[mcdowell42]

There best chances are from our corners

[clockender1]

Not a bad first half, quick and direct at times - Caz, arteta and Ox all made some nice direct runs. Gibbs has got forward.

How crap is their keeper ?

Sanogo has been anonymous , I'd put Giroud on to mix it up with their flappy keeper.

Just watched their goal - per and bac at fault - both left their men and bac got burned for pace. Piss poor.

I also still think that Caz and Ozil are too similar and keep getting in the same positions, someone needs to be aggressively attacking the box as so far when crosses are coming in only sanogo is in there - another reason we miss Ramsey.

Everton are looking better and better - Wenger HAS to change it up.

[augie]

For the neutrals this must be a cracking game to watch

As Gooners we have to have mixed feelings - first half of the half we were outstanding but we still looked vunerable on the break. Barkley is finding way too much room - if flamoney isn't picking him up as the defensive midfielder then what is the point in playing the c*nt ??

Ozil looks class when on the ball and we have to get the ball to him more. Sonago looks every bit the postman that we all expected him to be - winning nothing in the air and being brushed off the ball like a flyweight

[wibble]

There best chances are from our corners

Yeah we had 10 in first half and only chances created from them were for everton. definitely something we need to improve on in second half

[armchair]

Chamberlain is vacillating .

Oh fuck, how long is that on the infamous treatment table? Hope he recovers well......
