PL: Everton vs Arsenal | Saturday 21st December | KO: 12:30 | BT Sport

[OnlyOne]

Looks like two championship teams here.

Could be next season.

This is the kind of game where you need some individual brilliance, have to bring on Pepe asap

I'd maybe even try him at AM instead of ESR, not his game.

Hope the club have bought Arteta a 512GB iPad. He's going to need it.

 

[OSBK]

Somehow we didn't make Everton have 15 shots already they must be worse than us

This is the most compact i have seen us this season. The young lads tracking back and working hard. I know its boring but aside from richarlson everton havent threatened us. Guys deserve credit for that.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

At this rate laca and pepe needed at 2nd half. At the start too

Harsh on Championship.Those lads play with great spirit at least.

 

[krengon]

One of the worst halves I’ve seen in terms of quality.. Need subs early..

 

[GDeep™]

Doesn’t help our build up play that Auba is useless until the ball is inside the box.

Miss Giroud.

 

[Toast]

Another dreadful game in a long season of dreadful games...

I said earlier in the thread that i think Arteta might favour Lacazette. If he wants to play the sort of stuff similar to a Pep team then he'll want everyone involved on the ball.

 

[NieThePiet]

this is really Premier League?

You just can watch our result at the end and you will miss nothing. Hopefully this will change under Arteta, but there is so much work to do.

 

[Plutarch]

We are so poor at the moment. Not so much our makeshift defence, which has done all right so far, but our completely non-functioning attack.

 

[TheEconomist]

Think guendozi on for Esr and Pepe for Nelson shortly afterwards if things aren't working out

 

[Gooner Zig]

The lack of confidence in the squad is palpable. Movement is terrible and just about everyone is scared to make a progressive pass.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Miss Giroud.

Mr. GIROUD * gary deep with lack of knowledge

 

[CJJ]

I'm not gonna lie. I could've imagined much worse. I think the players are putting in an effort and thats what is important to me.

 

[say yes]

Miss Giroud.

We could probably have him back, they hate him over there.

Told you he’s be a massive flop at Chelsea.

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Miss Giroud.

Nah, don't agree. One of Girouds biggest strengths was his hold up play and an easy target for long balls.

He mostly lacked pace, I'd love to have him in that game.

Arteta will have such tough job to do our squad quality wise is so bad youngsters are just too early to heavily depend on them other than Martinelli who showing good promise

 

[Ashybashy86]

Awful. This team is like putting an off cherry on top of a steaming pile of turd, and trying to pass it off as chocolate cake.
