Woeful performance from Arsenal.

2-2 probably a fair result in the end.

Indeed, I was expecting us to drop points anyway so I'm not to bothered by the result.

The big cause for concern is Denilson. I hope it's nothing serious. I think it was the other side to the one Neville decided to tenderize but I'm not sure...

Will not have to hear Maccari again for a while now, think i would rather watch a stream full of Japanese guys than listen to that tool.

Good point for Everton, I'd have to say we were absolutely shit more than they were good to be honest!

Mossy Monk

The international commentary on the YES stream were delightful as always

Arsenal didn't deserve the draw, feel sorry for Everton fans but I'm still relieved for the point.

Not too sure this Arsenal team performs well under pressure like this, only started playing well when we were level.

Arsenal more possession and possibly shots and shots on target

Everton absolutely played us off the park though, that was a very disappointing and fairly spineless performance.

More importantly though I hope Denilson is ok, that looked bad.

It's just Lou Macari. He's the world's biggest United fan, and he really shouldn't be allowed work in the media when he massive bias is blatantly obvious. All commentators/pundits are going to have favourite teams, but the professional ones put aside their bias and just do their job. Macari is clearly uncapable of this. His gloat to himself about how Arsenal will never win anything after Everton's second...

Dolan just said something that actually made sense there. Arsenal aren't playing like champions, but neither are Chelsea or United.

Commentators were just as enthusiastic for the Arsenal goal. Don't know what you lot are shitting on about.

Let's put it this way. If Arsenal come from a goal behind to get a point in the last few minutes of a game they are 'unconvincing' or 'inexperienced' or what have you. If you United or Chelsea come from behind, it's a sign of their 'determination' or the 'mark of champions' or what have you...

Redzer7

Pat Dolan kinda pleasing me at the moment, please don't ruin it Pat :P.

Can't agree with that.:)

Looks bad re Denilson

Also having seen that Pienaar goal, what was Almunia doing?
He just sat down.

I mean can Wenger really keep saying he trusts him when he fecks up nearly anything meaningful he has to do in a game.

Don't get me wrong Everton played very well and fully deserved there point, hope both Arsenal and Everton supporters get home ok, announcement in stadium for Everton supporters to leave immediately at final whistle.

Cop on, he collapsed in possession of the ball and couldn't even kick it out of play first, then he was immediately stretchered off!!!

Actually, I tend to find Arsenal are one of those teams who can play incredibly well and not get the result. So yeah I think you're talking out of your ass on that one mate.

Actually, it's exactly the opposite. Being able to play sh*t and get a result is how United, and before them, Chelsea have won the leagues. Arsenal for the past few seasons have been able to utterly play teams off the park and will still come away with a point or less, they've had a huge amount of bad luck combined with a complete lack of clinical finishing.

That's why the last month or so has been so encouraging, first time since the invincibles that I've seen an Arsenal team able to consistently grind out results without necessarily playing great football. Hence I'm not too bothered about the result today, a year ago they probably would have come away from that game with nothing.

Quick thoughts:

Almunia is just not good enough, he made it so easy for Pienaar to make himself look like a hero.

Phil Neville, what a pro, that double block was sensational.

Marouane Fellaini is an animal.

Armand Traore was appallingly bad.

A Primal Nut

Haha the amount of times Traore played someone onside while being on the wrong side from where the pass was going to be played was rediculous.

eagle eye

I don't think a guy with the surname Traore at left-back works.

Macari is plain awful. And thats coming from a United fan. No insight whatsoever into the match and as biased if not worse that Phil Thompson.
